Hotel Receipt Generator
A hotel receipt, or folio, summarizes a guest's stay: room rate multiplied by the number of nights, plus incidental charges, resort or occupancy fees and lodging tax. Receipt Caker's hotel generator itemizes each night and fee so travelers can reconstruct a folio for reimbursement.

Business travelers rebuilding a folio for an expense claim, travel-app developers, and accommodation owners issuing a plain receipt.
What a hotel folio records
A hotel folio is the running account of everything charged to a room during a stay. It states the property name, address and a confirmation number, then lists the nightly room rate for each date, adds incidentals such as parking or a resort fee, and applies the occupancy or lodging tax that most cities levy on accommodation. The check-in and check-out dates frame the whole document.
Receipt Caker's hotel template mirrors this structure so a traveler can reconstruct a folio for reimbursement. Because the folio separates mandatory taxes from optional fees, it reads exactly the way a finance team expects when they approve a lodging claim.
How nights and room rate are itemized
Each night is treated as a unit so the arithmetic is transparent: a $149 room over three nights shows as a quantity of three at $149, a $447 room charge before fees and tax. If the rate changed mid-stay — a weekend surcharge, say — you split it into separate lines so each night carries its own price.
Fees follow the same logic. Valet parking at $32 a night appears as three units of $32, and a one-off resort fee appears as a single line. The occupancy tax is then applied through the tax-rate field so it prints beneath the subtotal as its own clearly labelled line, which is precisely how a real folio distinguishes tax from charges.
Occupancy tax, resort fees and incidentals
Resort fees, parking and minibar charges are ordinary line items, while the lodging tax is a percentage applied to the taxable subtotal. Many cities set a specific occupancy-tax rate on accommodation, so check the figure for the destination before you enter it — the country-requirements guide summarizes how lodging is taxed in different places.
Keeping incidentals and tax on separate lines is what makes a folio credible for an expense claim. A reviewer can see the room charge, the optional extras and the mandatory tax at a glance, and confirm the total reconciles, which is why the template never rolls these amounts together.
Rebuilding a folio in Receipt Caker
Enter the room rate and number of nights as a line item, add any parking or resort fees, set the occupancy-tax rate, and the folio totals everything for you. Use the wide paper width and a courier font for the formal look of a printed statement, and put the confirmation number where a real property prints it.
Export the folio as a PNG for free, or a Pro PDF you can attach to a travel-expense report. This is meant for reconstructing a receipt you actually incurred or for building a realistic booking mockup — not for imitating a specific hotel. Receipt Caker renders the document in your browser and stores nothing.
