Formats and Delivery
The hotel data is delivered as files: CSV, Excel or a shared Google Sheet, one file per country or one worldwide file, updated every month.
Formats
| Format | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | Databases, GIS, data pipelines | UTF-8, one row per place. Large extracts always ship as CSV. |
| Excel (.xlsx) | Sales and research teams | The same columns as the free sample, with a column guide sheet. |
| Google Sheets | Shared, browser-based work | A sheet shared with the email addresses you give us. |
Building polygons come as a WKT text column (building_polygon_wkt) in every format. Every column is described in the data dictionary.
Delivery
- A download link for the CSV or Excel files, or
- a Google Sheet shared with the buyer.
You choose the scope: one country, several countries or worldwide, and all fields or only the groups you need.
Monthly updates
The data is released every month (the latest release is 2026-10). A monthly subscription receives each new release together with a change file listing what changed since the previous month: new listings, closures, reopenings and changed fields. Places keep the same ld_id, so updates join on it. See the release log and history and changes.
