Format Version,6,,,,,,,
Hotel,,HotelIdGoesHere,HotelGroupIdGoesHere,MyHotelGroupClientId,,13.2,Fixed,1.06

For a Hotel record, the following attribute fields are available via Bulk Upload.

Important

The hotel can inherit the Bid from its parent hotel group, while specifying its own bid multipliers, or vice versa. Bid multipliers include Advance Booking Window Multiplier 1-10, Checkin Monday - Sunday, Country AA-ZZ, DateType Default, DateType Selected, Device Desktop, Device Mobile, Device Tablet, Length of Stay 1-14, Site LocalUniversal, Site MapResults, and Site PropertyPromotionAd.

If any bid multipliers are set for a hotel, then the hotel will not inherit any bid multipliers from its parent hotel group. If you only want to update the bid, be sure to leave all bid multipliers empty. If the hotel already has bid multipliers and you want to start inheriting the parent hotel group's bid multipliers, then you can either set Bid Multiplier Source to "InheritFromParent" or delete each hotel bid multiplier.

Separately, to remove the hotel's bid and inherit the hotel group bid, you only need to set the Bid field to "delete_value".

Advance Booking Window Min Days 1-10

Adjust your bids based on how many days in advance the reservation is being made, also known as advanced booking window (ABW).

The bulk file includes up to 10 ABW min days columns, i.e., Advance Booking Window Min Days 1, Advance Booking Window Min Days 2, Advance Booking Window Min Days 3, Advance Booking Window Min Days 4, Advance Booking Window Min Days 5, Advance Booking Window Min Days 6, Advance Booking Window Min Days 7, Advance Booking Window Min Days 8, Advance Booking Window Min Days 9, and Advance Booking Window Min Days 10.

The min days column specifies the minimum number of days in the ABW range between 1 - 90 to apply the multiplier to. The corresponding Advance Booking Window Multiplier 1-10 column defines the multiplier factor.

Update: Optional. To remove an existing ABW min day and multiplier, set this min bid field to the min day that you want to remove and set the corresponding Advance Booking Window Multiplier 1-10 field to "delete_value".

Advance Booking Window Multiplier 1-10

The percentage multiplier used to adjust the base bid for the corresponding Advance Booking Window Min Days 1-10 (ABW).

The bulk file includes up to 10 ABW multiplier columns, i.e., Advance Booking Window Multiplier 1, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 2, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 3, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 4, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 5, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 6, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 7, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 8, Advance Booking Window Multiplier 9, and Advance Booking Window Multiplier 10.

The valid range for this field is 0.00 through 11.00. Values less than 1.00 will decrease the base bid by up to 100% (0.00). Values greater than 1.00 will increase the base bid up to 1,000% (11.00). Set this field to 1.00 if you do not want to adjust the base bid.

For example, if the fixed bid is $5 and the multiplier is 1.05, the final bid is $5.25. Using the same multiplier, if the percentage bid is 5% and the total room rate is $100, the final bid is $5.25.

Update: Optional. To remove an existing ABW min day and multiplier, set the corresponding Advance Booking Window Min Days 1-10 field to the min day that you want to remove and this multiplier field to "delete_value".

Bid

The base bid that hotels in the group inherit if they don't specify a bid.

The valid range is 0.00 through 1000.00.

If the Bid Type is "Fixed", this Bid field is the fixed per-night bid amount. For example, if the bid is 3.50 and the itinerary is for a 3-night stay, the final bid is 10.50. For details about the valid bid range for your account's currency, see the Bid and Budget Currencies section in the Currencies topic.

If the Bid Type is "Percentage", this Bid field is based on the percentage of the per night total room rate, including taxes and other fees. For example, to bid 3 percent of the room's total rate, set this field to 3.0. In effect if the total room rate is $99, and the itinerary is for a 3-night stay, then the final bid is $8.91.

Update: Optional. To remove the hotel's bid and inherit the hotel group bid, set this field to "delete_value". If the parent hotel group inherits the bid from its parent subaccount, the hotel likewise inherits the subaccount level bid.

Bid Multiplier Source

Determines whether to inherit the hotel group bid multipliers.

If you set this field to "InheritFromParent", the hotel bid multiplier fields will be ignored and the hotel will inherit the bid multipliers from its parent hotel group. If the parent hotel group inherits bid multipliers from its parent subaccount, the hotel likewise inherits the subaccount level bid multipliers.

Bid multipliers include Advance Booking Window Multiplier 1-10, Checkin Monday - Sunday, Country AA-ZZ, DateType Default, DateType Selected, Device Desktop, Device Mobile, Device Tablet, Length of Stay 1-14, Site LocalUniversal, Site MapResults, and Site PropertyPromotionAd.

If this field is empty and if any bid multipliers are set for a hotel, then the hotel will cease to inherit any bid multipliers from its parent hotel group.

The hotel can inherit the Bid from its parent hotel group, while specifying its own bid multipliers, or vice versa. To remove the hotel's bid and inherit from the hotel group bid, you only need to set the Bid field to "delete_value".

Update: Optional. To remove the hotel's bid multipliers and inherit the hotel group bid multipliers, set this field to "InheritFromParent".

Bid Type

Determines whether the Bid is a fixed amount or percentage.

You can set this field to "Fixed" or "Percentage".

To pause all hotels in the group, specify a percentage bid and set its bid amount to zero (0).

Update: Optional. If the Bid is set to "delete_value", this field is ignored.

Checkin Monday - Sunday

Adjust your bids if the user checks in on one of the specified weekdays.

The bulk file includes up to 7 checkin columns, i.e., Checkin Monday, Checkin Tuesday, Checkin Wednesday, Checkin Thursday, Checkin Friday, Checkin Saturday, and Checkin Sunday.

The valid range for this field is 0.00 through 11.00. Values less than 1.00 will decrease the base bid by up to 100% (0.00). Values greater than 1.00 will increase the base bid up to 1,000% (11.00). Set this field to 1.00 if you do not want to adjust the base bid.

For example, if the fixed bid is $5 and the multiplier is 1.05, the final bid is $5.25. Using the same multiplier, if the percentage bid is 5% and the total room rate is $100, the final bid is $5.25.

Update: Optional. To remove an existing checkin bid multiplier, set the corresponding field to "delete_value". For example, if you no longer want to modify the base bid on Wednesdays, set the Checkin Wednesday field to "delete_value".

Country AA-ZZ

Adjust the base bid by if the user accesses one of the Bing domains.

The multiplier is applied if the user accesses the Bing domain with the corresponding country code.
