Step-by-Step Guide to SBI Holiday Home Online Booking

1. Check Eligibility

SBI holiday homes are available exclusively for SBI employees (serving & retired) and their families. Keep your employee details handy before starting the booking process.

2. Access the Holiday Home Portal

Visit the official SBI HRMS portal at https://hrms.onlinesbi.com. Log in using your SBI credentials (User ID and Password). Navigate to the “Personal” or “Services” tab and select “Holiday Home Booking.”

3. Search Availability

Choose your destination, desired dates, and the type of accommodation. The portal displays real-time availability. Select from bank-owned or tie-up homes.

4. Fill the Application

Click “Book Now” on your preferred option. Enter your details, including the number of family members, check-in and check-out dates, and any special requests. Double-check guest names and contact details for accurate records.

5. Payment Process

Pay nominal charges via the portal using net banking or SBI debit cards. The charges vary by city, season, and type of property.

6. Confirmation Receipt

Once payment is successful, a confirmation slip with the booking reference is generated. Download and print this slip – you’ll need it at check-in.

7. Check-in and Occupancy

Carry your SBI Employee ID/Retirement Proof and the printed booking slip. Arrival and departure timings are specified in the confirmation. Adhere to SBI rules on maximum occupancy and stay duration.

Tips 1:

As a designer, I know how important comfort and aesthetics are to a fulfilling holiday experience. Even if you’re booking a temporary stay like an SBI holiday home, consider rearranging furniture to improve flow, optimizing natural light, or bringing along small decor items (like throws or personal art) for hominess. If you want to experiment with different layouts for your holiday home in advance, using an intuitive room planner can help you visualize arrangements and ensure everyone has enough space and comfort during your stay.
