This guide shows how to list hotel on Yatra, what to prepare, how to price and how to get the best from your listing once it is live.

Why list your hotel on Yatra

Yatra is known for corporate travel services in addition to consumer bookings. For hotels that serve business travellers, a listing can reach guests who book through company travel desks and corporate accounts. It also adds another channel for leisure demand.

Reason	Who benefits most
Corporate and business travel reach	City hotels near business districts, airports and industrial areas
Additional OTA visibility	Hotels that want to reduce dependence on one or two OTAs
Domestic leisure demand	Mid-range hotels and resorts
Possible corporate rate programmes	Hotels willing to offer negotiated business rates

Like any OTA, Yatra works on a commission model, so check your net revenue before committing inventory. See hotel distribution strategy for how to balance channels.

What to prepare before you list hotel on Yatra

Legal and tax documents: PAN, GST registration where applicable, and bank details for payments. Check requirements with the official source or your CA.
Property licences: Local trade licence, fire safety and other permits as required in your area.
Contact details: Reservation email, phone number and a person responsible for the account.
Property description: Short, accurate and focused on location, facilities and what makes you different.
Room information: Types, size, beds, occupancy and amenities.

Step-by-step: how to list hotel on Yatra

Contact the partner team. Use the hotel partner or “list your property” option on Yatra’s official website, or contact the hotel contracting team. Make sure you deal only with the official channel.
Submit basic details. Provide property name, address, category, owner or manager details and contact numbers.
Share content. Provide description, facilities, room types and policies. Keep language simple and factual.
Upload photos. Supply a full set, with the best images first. Replace blurry or dark pictures.
Set up rates and inventory. Share rate plans and how many rooms you will allocate. Decide whether you will offer a corporate or negotiated rate.
Review commercial terms. Read the commission, payment cycle, cancellation and no-show terms and any promotion programmes. Ask questions before signing.
Submit documents. Provide the business and licence documents and bank details requested.
Sign the agreement. Keep a copy and note the key terms in a simple sheet for your team.
Connect your channel manager if applicable. If your hotel uses a channel manager, ask whether Yatra can be connected so rates and inventory update automatically. Read what is a hotel channel manager.
Go live and test. After activation, search for your hotel on the website and app, check photos and rates and confirm policies show correctly.
Monitor the first bookings. Check confirmations, guest details and payment terms for your first reservations and fix any process gaps.

How to price on Yatra

Pricing on any OTA should start from your net target. Work out the rate you need to receive after commission, then set the public rate.

For example, a 35-room business hotel in Bengaluru that wants ₹3,800 net on a standard room and pays a 15 percent commission needs a public price of about ₹4,470 (3,800 divided by 0.85). The commission figures here are examples only, so use your contract rate.

Match your direct website price to protect rate parity.
If you offer corporate rates, keep them separate and clearly defined, and do not publish them as public discounts.
Use breakfast-inclusive and flexible-cancellation plans at a higher rate than non-refundable plans.
Raise weekday rates if your hotel is strong with business guests, and offer weekend leisure packages if weekends are slower.

Getting more bookings from your Yatra listing

Highlight business-friendly features

If you serve business travellers, say so: Wi-Fi speed, work desk, early breakfast, airport transfers, meeting room, laundry and flexible check-out.

Keep content consistent

Use the same photos, descriptions and room names across OTAs and your website. Consistency builds trust and avoids guest confusion.

Maintain good reviews

Ask satisfied guests for feedback and respond to every review. See hotel online reputation management.

Track performance

Review monthly: room-nights, ADR, commission paid, cancellation rate and guest scores. Compare with other channels using net revenue, not just volume.

Keep direct booking strong

Do not let OTAs replace your own channel. Use a good booking engine and offer direct perks. See how to increase direct bookings.

Corporate rates: a simple approach

If you want business travellers, decide your corporate rate policy before you sign. Set a discount range from your public rate, such as a modest percentage for company accounts, and decide which dates it applies to. Block corporate rates on peak dates when you would sell out at public prices. Offer inclusions that suit business guests, such as breakfast, Wi-Fi and late check-out, instead of cutting the room rate further.

Track the volume and quality of corporate guests every quarter. If a source brings repeat guests with low cancellations, it deserves more attention. If it brings few bookings, reduce your inventory commitment.

Common mistakes when listing on Yatra

Weak photos or missing room details. Guests move on quickly.
Not reading the agreement. Commission, payment cycles and cancellation terms matter.
Mismatched rates across channels. It confuses guests and may breach contract terms.
Allocating too many rooms too soon. Start modestly and scale with results.
Manual updates only. Errors lead to overbooking. Use a channel manager if you can.
No follow-up on corporate guests. Business travellers can become repeat direct clients if you serve them well.

How to review performance after 30 days

After the first month, collect the key numbers: room-nights sold, average rate, commission paid, cancellations, guest scores and the share of corporate versus leisure guests. Compare Yatra with your other channels on net revenue per room-night. If volume is low, review photos, rates against nearby hotels and open dates. If guests complain about mismatched details, correct your content. Change one thing at a time and record the result, so your team can repeat what works.

Talk to your account contact regularly. A good relationship can help you understand programmes and avoid surprises with payments or guest issues.

Protecting your brand while using OTAs

An OTA listing should support your hotel’s brand, not replace it. Use the same name, logo-style photos and tone everywhere. Make sure guests who find you on Yatra can also find your website and social profiles, and invite them to book directly on their next trip with a simple card at check-in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I list my hotel on Yatra?

Apply through Yatra's official hotel partner or list-your-property process, submit property details, room types, photos, rates and documents, review and sign the commercial agreement, then test the listing after it goes live. Confirm current steps with Yatra's hotel team.

Is Yatra good for business hotels?

Yatra has a strong corporate travel presence, so business hotels near offices, airports and industrial areas may benefit. Highlight Wi-Fi, work desks, early breakfast and flexible check-out, and consider negotiated corporate rates where they make commercial sense.

What commission does Yatra charge hotels?

Commission varies by contract, property type and programme, so there is no single figure to quote. Read your agreement carefully and calculate your net rate after commission before deciding rates and inventory for the channel.

Can I connect Yatra to my channel manager?

Many hotels manage OTAs through a channel manager, which keeps rates and availability consistent and reduces overbooking risk. Ask Yatra's partner team and your channel manager provider whether a connection is available for your property.
