# Hotel catalog CSV template (Meta)

> The column format and compliance rules for a Meta Commerce Manager hotel catalog feed, with a filled-in example row and links to Meta's official documentation. One of six catalog types; see the Meta Commerce catalog overview to pick the right one.

Use this template for a catalog of bookable hotel properties. If you're listing ecommerce products, vehicles, flights, destinations, or real estate instead, see the [Meta Commerce catalog templates](/meta-commerce-overview) overview for the matching type.

<Note>
  This isn't legal advice. Confirm pricing accuracy and availability claims with your legal or compliance team before publishing a hotel catalog.
</Note>

## File format

* CSV, TSV, or XML, one row per hotel property, with a header row naming each column.
* Fields containing a comma or whitespace need to be wrapped in double quotes.
* Nested or multi-value fields (address, neighborhood, images) can be provided either as a JSON-encoded value in a single column, or split into separate "flattened" columns using JSON-path-style names (for example, `address.region` and `address.country`). Pick one convention and use it consistently; a hand-built CSV almost always uses the flattened columns.
* Upload once or on a recurring schedule (hourly, daily, or weekly).

<Info>
  This isn't an exhaustive field list. Meta's hotel spec includes additional optional attributes (amenities, neighborhood, brand affiliation, loyalty program details, and more); confirm the complete current list against Meta's own documentation before a first upload.

## Format rules

* `hotel_id` is the catalog's unique key for this vertical; other verticals use a different ID field (`id` for products, `vehicle_id` for vehicles, and so on), so don't reuse an ID scheme across catalog types.
* `base_price` follows the same pattern as a product price: a number plus a three-letter ISO 4217 currency code.
* `address.country` should be the two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, consistent with how country is formatted elsewhere in this knowledge base's audience CSV templates.

## Data and compliance rules

<Warning>
  * List rates and availability that actually match what a guest would be quoted at booking. A feed price that doesn't match the booking flow is a misrepresentation issue, the same category of violation that gets ecommerce listings disapproved.
  * Meta's general advertising standards (fraud, scams, and deceptive practices) apply to hotel listings the same as any other catalog.
  * Keep the catalog current. A stale feed showing rooms as available when they're sold out is a common source of a poor guest experience and platform enforcement.
</Warning>
