# Content | Create and update Point-Of-Interests (POIs)

{% hint style="info" %}
Hotels are one kind of POIs in GUIBO. They can be created manually in GUIBO, also with the help of Google search and automatic import of data from Google.
{% endhint %}

### 1) Create POI

Prerequisite: You have created a library into which the hotels are to be imported. You have given the library a unique ID. In the following example it is the ID "<mark style="color:orange;">HOTELS</mark>".

* Replace <mark style="color:orange;">CCCCCC</mark> with the customer ID, you can find this under Account Settings > General Settings > Account ID
* Replace <mark style="color:orange;">xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx</mark> with the API key, you can find this under Account Settings > General Settings > API Key
* <mark style="color:orange;">HTL21344</mark> is an exemplaric custom ID of this hotel. With this ID it is easier to update the hotel via the interface.
