You can increase knowlege of the location with optional tags.

Key	Value	Discussion
reservation=*	yes no required recommended members_only	yes - reservation is possible no - there is no reservation option for this amenity required - you have to reserve if you want to sleep at the hut recommended - you should make a reservation, otherwise you may be rejected members_only - reservation is only possible for members of the alpine club running the hut, or associated alpine clubs. Non members have to wait until a certified time in order to know if they can stay or not and beds are given not at first come first serve, but until a certain time (usually 4 to 6 PM) only to members, and only if empty beds remain to non members.
winter_room	yes/no	Small room to provide shelter outside the opening period.
shower	yes/no	Are showers available

Other useful generic tags :

• opening_hours=* opening days in the year (e.g.> Jun 01 - Sep 30)
• ele=* elevation
• name=* name
• capacity=* sleeping capacity
• description=* fill more information with text
• access=* useful values are access=yes and access=private. NOTE. This tag should not be confused with the status of the operator (e.g., DAV/CAF/SAC owned vs. privately owned. Private would indicate that the hut is only open to members or associates of the owning organisation (this is the typical status for mountain huts in the UK, see discussion).
• operator=* typically used to indicate huts owned or maintained by a specific organisation, usually a club. E.g., Mountain Bothy Association, Österreichischer Alpenverein, etc.
