How to List Your Hotel on Wotif

What Is Wotif and How Does Listing Actually Work?

Wotif is an Australia and New Zealand-focused travel site, owned by Expedia Group. It isn't a standalone platform with its own signup process.

Listing works through Expedia Partner Central, the same portal used for Expedia itself. One registration can make your property visible across Wotif, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, and more. Our full guide to listing on Expedia covers the actual signup steps.

‍

What All Is Required Before You're Visible on Wotif?

A few things need to be in place, most of it through Expedia Partner Central.

• An active Expedia Partner Central account. If you're already listed on Expedia, this step is already done.
• Accurate property details and room types. Name, address, property type, and room count all need to be current.
• Rates and availability set correctly. These sync across connected sites, Wotif included.
• Wotif visibility switched on. Some accounts default to specific sites, so this setting is worth checking directly.

‍

How Do You Confirm Your Property Shows Up on Wotif?

This is the part most guides skip, since it isn't a separate signup step.

• Log into Expedia Partner Central with your existing account.
• Check your distribution or site visibility settings.
• Confirm Wotif is listed among your active connected sites.
• Search your property directly on Wotif to verify it's live.
• Contact Expedia Group support if it isn't showing after a few days.

How Does Syncing Work Across Expedia's Connected Sites?

Manually updating rates on every connected site isn't necessary. Doing it that way risks mismatched pricing.

roommaster's Expedia integration keeps reservations, cancellations, and modifications synced in real time. Since Wotif runs through that same Expedia connection, updates made once carry across both.

What Should You Know Before Listing?

A few things are worth knowing before you rely on this connection.

• Wotif's audience skews Australia and New Zealand. Expect different booking patterns than a global platform like Expedia itself.
• Rate parity applies across connected sites. A price change on one site should reflect everywhere, including Wotif.
• Commission follows Expedia's structure. See our guide to OTA commission costs for the bigger picture.
• Other Expedia Group sites work the same way. Hotels.com listings follow the identical single-registration model.

‍

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Trying to create a separate account specifically for Wotif.
• Assuming visibility on Wotif without checking distribution settings.
• Updating rates on one connected site and forgetting the rest.
• Ignoring Australia and New Zealand market patterns that differ from global demand.
• Skipping the same rate parity check that applies across every connected site.

‍

Bottom Line

Listing on Wotif isn't its own process. It's a byproduct of your Expedia Partner Central account.

Confirm visibility is switched on, then let the sync handle updates across every connected site. That's simpler than treating Wotif as a separate channel to manage.
