Goibibo Hotel Registration: Go Live on Both MMT and Goibibo

What Is Goibibo?

Goibibo is an Indian online travel agency (OTA) for booking hotels, flights, buses and trains, through its website and mobile app. It is an India-focused brand, so travellers who use Goibibo as their default app may not routinely cross-shop on Booking.com or Agoda. If your property is not on Goibibo, those guests cannot find you there.

For hotel owners, the important thing to understand is this: Goibibo is not a standalone OTA to manage separately. It is part of the GoMMT group alongside MakeMyTrip, and the two platforms are operated from a single partner portal. Your listing, your rates, your photos and your inventory are managed in one place and appear on both sites.

If you have not yet listed on any OTA and want to understand how commission and extranets work before signing up, read the OTA guide first.

The Goibibo and MakeMyTrip Relationship

In a deal announced in October 2016 and completed in January 2017, MakeMyTrip Limited acquired the Ibibo Group's India travel business, which included Goibibo. Since then, both brands operate under the same parent company and share back-end infrastructure, including the partner extranet.

This matters in practice because:

• One registration on the GoMMT extranet lists your hotel on both MakeMyTrip and Goibibo simultaneously.
• Rates and inventory you set in the extranet apply to both platforms.
• Bookings from both platforms appear in the same reservations dashboard.
• Payouts from both platforms are processed together in your settlement statement.
• The commission contract covers both platforms. You do not negotiate separate rates for Goibibo and MakeMyTrip.

The two apps and websites keep separate branding and separate guest-facing experiences, even though both bookings arrive in the same extranet. Listing on the GoMMT platform puts your property in front of both brand audiences without any additional effort on your side.

How to Register on Goibibo (GoMMT Extranet)

The registration process is the same as MakeMyTrip because it uses the same portal. In brief:

• Go to in.goibibo.com/newextranet/login and select the option to list a new property.
• Enter your property details (name, city, room count, contact), verify your mobile OTP, and create your account.
• Upload KYC documents: GSTIN certificate, PAN card, cancelled cheque, and trade licence or hotel registration. Add at least 25 property photos at 1280x960px or higher.
• Wait 3 to 7 working days for document verification, then complete your listing profile with room types, amenities and policies.

For the full step-by-step walkthrough including the KYC document requirements, photo specifications and common rejection reasons, see the MakeMyTrip Hotel Registration guide. That guide covers the same process in detail because it is the same portal.

Rate Parity: Goibibo Rates vs MakeMyTrip Rates

Because both platforms draw rates from the same GoMMT extranet, the rates you load are the rates that appear on both Goibibo and MakeMyTrip. You cannot set ₹2,800 on Goibibo and ₹3,000 on MakeMyTrip from within the extranet itself.

This is not unique to GoMMT. Most OTA contracts include a rate parity clause requiring that the rate on their platform is no higher than what you offer elsewhere. GoMMT's contract applies to both platforms jointly.

What this means for your pricing strategy

If you want to offer a lower rate through one specific channel, you would need to do it via promotions or member-only deals within the extranet (which apply platform-wide) rather than by setting different base rates per platform. Check the Promotions tab in your GoMMT extranet to see which offer types are available to you.

If you are managing rates across several OTAs including Goibibo, MakeMyTrip, Booking.com and Agoda, a channel manager makes it easier to push updates across all platforms from one place and avoid rate mismatches. Rate parity errors can result in your listing being deprioritised in search results.

For a full breakdown of what a booking pays out after commission, GST on commission, TDS and TCS, see the MakeMyTrip commission guide. The same deductions apply to Goibibo bookings because both operate under the same GoMMT contract.

GoMMT Extranet: What You Manage After Going Live

Once your hotel is live on Goibibo and MakeMyTrip, you manage everything from the GoMMT extranet dashboard. Here is what the main sections cover:

Function	Where to Find It
Update rates and availability	Inventory & Rates section
View and manage bookings (both platforms)	Reservations tab
Update photos and property content	Property Details section
Read and respond to guest reviews	Reviews & Ratings tab
Download settlement reports	Finance > Invoices
Create promotions and discounted offers	Promotions section
Access Connect by MakeMyTrip partner app	Mobile app linked to your extranet account

Content quality affects both listings equally

Because Goibibo and MakeMyTrip pull your content from the same extranet profile, the content and photo quality you maintain affects both listings simultaneously. A listing with fewer than 25 photos or an incomplete amenity list will rank worse on both platforms, not just one of them.

Keeping your content up to date is one of the highest-return tasks you can do in the extranet. It costs nothing, takes a couple of hours, and improves visibility on two platforms at once.

Running Direct Bookings Alongside Goibibo

Listing on Goibibo and MakeMyTrip does not prevent you from also taking direct bookings. In fact, a direct booking channel is one of the most effective ways to reduce your dependence on OTA commission over time.

On a ₹3,000 room night, paying 20% commission to GoMMT costs ₹600 per booking. That is ₹600 you keep if the same guest books directly with you. A few direct bookings per month adds up quickly.

Building a direct channel does not have to be complicated. A simple booking link, a clear "Book Direct" message to returning guests, and a visible rate advantage on your own website or WhatsApp are enough to start. Over time, you reduce the share of revenue going to OTAs while keeping the volume that OTAs bring in for new guest acquisition.

For a practical plan to build direct bookings without abandoning your OTA presence, read the hotel direct booking strategy guide.
