Describing rooms and amenities
Describe beds, bathrooms, maximum occupancy, kitchen access and included amenities explicitly. Use current photographs and identify shared spaces. Distinguish the base rate from additional guest charges. Guest-facing filters are only useful when hosts apply the same definitions consistently across listings.
Plan a multi-property accommodation business with approved listings, host responsibilities and guest communication. For this brief, begin with room and amenity listings. Share the outcome you need, the people involved and the constraints that will influence delivery. A useful enquiry makes these requirements explicit before a recommendation or commercial commitment is made.
What to prepare
For accommodation aggregation, bring your current brief, relevant reference material and the decisions already made. Identify the owner of the work and the people who can approve changes. Explain what needs to happen first and which dependencies can change the schedule. Avoid committing to a final amount before the required scope has been reviewed.
- Host and property onboarding: Record the responsible person, required inputs and handover to the next step.
- Room and amenity listings: Make this the focus of your enquiry and agree the evidence needed for approval.
- Availability and enquiry routing: Record the responsible person, required inputs and handover to the next step.
- Booking and service oversight: Record the responsible person, required inputs and handover to the next step.
Agree the working scope
Onboarding accommodation hosts, Managing availability sources, Following up accommodation enquiries are related decisions that may affect this work. Confirm which are included and which will be handled separately. Ask for an itemised proposal that distinguishes deliverables, assumptions, optional additions and responsibilities. If your requirements change, capture the change and review its effect before proceeding.
Keep progress visible
Use the enquiry reference to keep the discussion connected. Review open questions, decisions and agreed next actions at each handover. A software workspace can support records and follow-up, but the people responsible must still confirm the commercial and operational details. ZETA CIRCLE can help scope the relevant services and tools around your requirements.
