# How to Use Accommodation Types in Reservations
> Define custom Accommodation Types, apply them to individual reservations, and optionally include them in the Reservation List Report.
You can define and assign **Accommodation Types** to individual reservations, then optionally include this information in the **Reservation List Report**. This gives front office teams more flexibility in classifying guest stays and customizing reports.
**These updates help hotels:**
* Customize how stays are categorized (e.g. long stay, corporate, staff housing).
* Track guest intent more clearly using Accommodation Type.
* Tailor reservation reporting with optional extra details.
* Support operational and audit needs through better data visibility.
**Examples of when to use Accommodation Types:**
* A receptionist creates a reservation and selects "Corporate Stay" from the accommodation types.
* A front office manager defines internal accommodation labels such as "Staff Housing".
* A finance or audit team exports reservation reports including the accommodation type, or hides it when not needed.
## Define accommodation types
Go to **Settings → Front Office → Guests Settings → Accommodation Types** on [manage.kwentra.com](https://manage.kwentra.com/frontoffice/#/home).
1. Review the existing custom accommodation types — any previously created entries are listed here.
2. Click **Add** to create a new accommodation type.
3. Enter a description for the new type (e.g. "Corporate Stay" or "Staff Housing").
4. Save using one of the available save options.
You cannot add the same description twice — duplicates are rejected on save.
## Apply an accommodation type to a reservation
Go to **Modules → Front Office → Individual Reservations**.
1. Click **Add Reservation**.
2. Unhide the extra fields to reveal the Accommodation Type selector.
3. Select one of your custom accommodation types from the dropdown.
## View accommodation types in the Reservation List Report
Go to **Modules → Reports → Reservation List**.
1. Choose your date range.
2. Enable **Show Accommodation Data**.
3. Generate the report preview.
Any reservation that has an Accommodation Type set will display it in the dedicated column of the report.
