List Your Properties" updated: 2026-10-27 language: en-gb --- # Setting Up Multiple Units in One Property - Optional If you manage multiple identical rooms or apartments in the same property, Zeevou organizes them using Property → Unit Type → Unit. ## Do you need this? **Yes** — if you manage a hotel, motel, guesthouse, apartment building, serviced apartments, or another property with multiple similar units. **No** — if you only manage unique properties, such as individual houses or apartments. [**Continue to the next step**](https://support.zeevou.com/en-gb/articles/110-rent-your-property-as-a-whole-or-in-parts-optional.md). * * * ## How Zeevou Organizes Your Property Zeevou uses three levels to organise your accommodations:

Zeevou	What It Means	Example
Listing	The overall property or building	Seaside Apartments
Unit Type	A type of identical accommodation	2-Bed Apartment
Unit	An individual accommodation of that type	Apartment 101

### 1\. Listing — Your Overall Property A **listing** represents the overall property, building, or complex. **Example:** Riverside Apartments A Listing can contain one or more Unit Types. ### 2\. Unit Type — The Accommodation Guests Book A **unit type** is a group of **identical accommodations** that can contain one or more units. **Examples:** - Studio - 1-Bed Apartment - Deluxe Double Room Units within the same unit type should share the same core characteristics, such as: - Size - Layout - Capacity - Amenities Create a separate unit type when the accommodation is a different type or has different core characteristics. **Think of a Unit Type as:** - An Airbnb listing - A [Booking.com](https://Booking.com) Room Type ### 3\. Unit — Your Actual Accommodation A **unit** is an individual room or apartment within a Unit Type. **For example:** 1-Bed Apartment → 3 Units - Apartment 101 - Apartment 102 - Apartment 103 Guests **book the unit type, not a specific unit**. Zeevou assigns an available unit to the booking, so you can move guests between identical units when needed. * * * ## How Zeevou Maps to Other Platforms

Zeevou	Airbnb	Booking.com
Listing	No direct equivalent	Property
Unit Type	Listing	Room Type
Unit	Individual accommodation	Number of rooms

The main difference is that Airbnb generally treats each accommodation as a separate listing, while Zeevou groups identical accommodations under one Unit Type. ### Example Imagine you manage **Riverside Apartments**: **Listing:** Riverside Apartments - **Unit Type:** 1-Bed Apartment → 3 Units - Apartment 101 - Apartment 102 - Apartment 103 - **Unit Type:** 2-Bed Apartment → 2 Units - Apartment 201 - Apartment 202 You therefore manage **one Listing, two Unit Types, and five Units** instead of five separate listings. * * * ## Why Use Unit Types? This structure helps you: - **Manage information once:** Set pricing and accommodation details for the entire unit type. - **Manage availability efficiently:** Zeevou manages availability across identical units. - **Maximize occupancy:** Zeevou can assign available Units to bookings automatically. - **Manage bookings flexibly:** Move guests between identical Units without changing what they booked. * * * ## Your Setup Checklist If you manage multiple units in one property: 1. **Create one Listing** for the property. 2. **Create a Unit Type** for each type of accommodation. 3. **Add the number of Units** you have for each unit type. 4. **Name your Units**, such as Apartment 101 or Room 205. This is optional but recommended. > **Important:** Only group accommodations into the same unit type if they are genuinely identical. If their size, layout, capacity, or amenities differ, create separate unit types. ## Where to find them Open your Listing and use the left-hand menu to switch between **Listing, Unit Type, and Unit** information. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/0q75yjAePfjghDsPi3FPvnh4Z3NEoEDE48BkO80118ApgJjxT0oyK7P7WVHauza3UJIQ9dC21Fl.png) [**Ready to continue?**](https://support.zeevou.com/en-gb/articles/110-rent-your-property-as-a-whole-or-in-parts-optional.md)
