How Zeevou Organizes Multi-Unit Properties

If you're coming from Airbnb or Booking.com, here's how it maps:

1. Listing (Your Property/Building)

• Your hotel, apartment block, or complex

• Creates one page on your Zeevou website and one property on Booking.com

• Example: "Seaside Apartments" or "City Centre Hotel"

2. Unit Type (What You're Selling)

Think of this as one Airbnb listing or Booking.com Room Type

• The type of accommodation: "2-Bed Apartment", "Deluxe Room", "Studio"

• Also called: Room Type (hotels), Category (apartments)

• All units in a type must be identical (same size, layout, capacity, amenities)

• Different room sizes or layouts need separate unit types

3. Units (How Many You Have)

• The actual rooms or apartments - your "keys" or "inventory"

• Also called: Keys (apartments), Rooms (hotels)

• Example: 5 identical 2-bed flats = 1 Unit Type with 5 Units

• Zeevou automatically assigns guests to specific units and optimizes availability

Real Examples

Aparthotel with 5 units:

• Listing: "Riverside Apartments"

• Unit Type 1: "1-Bed Flat" → 3 units (Flat 101, 102, 103)

• Unit Type 2: "2-Bed Flat" → 2 units (Flat 201, 202)

Boutique Hotel with 17 rooms:

• Listing: "The Grand Hotel"

• Unit Type 1: "Standard Double" → 10 rooms

• Unit Type 2: "Deluxe Double" → 5 rooms

• Unit Type 3: "Suite" → 2 rooms

Why This Structure Helps

Better occupancy: Zeevou optimizes availability across your identical units. If you have complex overlapping bookings, Zeevou automatically shuffles which guest goes in which specific unit to accept more bookings - something you'd have to do manually with separate Airbnb listings.

Industry standard: Matches how Booking.com and hotel systems work (not Airbnb's one-listing-per-unit approach).

Operational efficiency: Set pricing, descriptions, and house rules once per unit type, not per individual unit.

Setup Checklist

When creating your listings in Zeevou:

Create one Listing for your building/property
Create Unit Types for each type of accommodation (identical rooms = one type)
Add Units - tell Zeevou how many of each type you have
Name your units - Flat 101, Room 205, etc. (optional but recommended)

Remember: Units must be truly identical to share a unit type - same size, same layout, same capacity, same amenities. Different = separate unit type.
