About Mapping
We are building accessible mapping infrastructure for the travel industry, starting with hotel property matching.
Our Mission
Hotel property matching is critical infrastructure. Every travel company (OTA, wholesaler, metasearch, channel manager) needs to reconcile hotel IDs across dozens of suppliers. Yet for years the only options were expensive proprietary solutions ($400-500/month), or building it yourself.
We experienced this problem firsthand. We benchmarked every commercial solution. None worked well enough. All were expensive. So we built a better way: a free, accurate hotel property matching API with 1.9M properties indexed across 230+ countries.
Our model achieves an F1 score of 0.95 (95% accuracy) using a two-stage approach: fuzzy candidate retrieval with rapidfuzz, followed by semantic reranking with BGE-Reranker. That figure is validated against a pre-labeled dataset of real-world property pairs, not self-reported. Every match returns its own confidence score, so you always know how reliable a result is. Start free with 2 mappings per day, and move to transparent pay-as-you-go pricing when you scale.
By the Numbers
The Team
Mapping is built and run by a small, senior engineering team with backgrounds in travel distribution and large-scale data systems. We keep the team lean and let the work speak: published benchmark methodology, a confidence score on every match, and a track record you can verify rather than take on trust.

Our Principles
Free for everyone
Mapping infrastructure should not be a barrier. The free tier (2 mappings per day) is production-ready and has no time limit. We mean it.
Transparent by default
Every match returns a confidence score. We publish our benchmark methodology. You always know how reliable each result is and why.
No lock-in
No contracts, no minimums, no surprise fees. Your data is portable. Pay only proportional to value, and leave whenever you want.
Sustainability over profit
Paid tiers fund infrastructure for everyone. All improvements flow back to the free tier. The free tier is not a marketing trick.
