Property Setup: Step-by-step wizard for adding new properties

Overview

Adding a new property to Boom PMS is straightforward. The setup wizard guides you through all essential information needed to start accepting bookings.

Setup Steps

1

Basic Information

Enter property name, type (house, apartment, villa), and address. The name should be memorable and unique for easy identification.

2

Property Details

Specify bedrooms, bathrooms, beds, and maximum guest capacity. These details affect search results and pricing.

3

Description

Write compelling property descriptions for guests. Include highlights, neighborhood info, and what makes your property special.

4

Amenities

Select all available amenities: WiFi, parking, pool, kitchen, air conditioning, etc. Complete amenity lists improve booking rates.

5

Photos

Upload high-quality photos of all rooms and spaces. Properties with 20+ photos get significantly more bookings.

6

Pricing

Set your base nightly rate, cleaning fee, and any additional charges. You can adjust pricing later with dynamic pricing rules.

7

House Rules

Define check-in/check-out times, pet policy, smoking rules, and guest requirements.
