## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 hotels

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Google Hotels Scraper - Prices, Ratings & Availability

### What is Google Hotels Scraper?

**Google Hotels Scraper** is a tool that lets you **scrape hotels from Google Hotels** for any place: hotel name, nightly price and total price for your stay, deals, star class and property type, guest rating and **reviews by star**, what guests say about location, service and rooms, amenities, photos, description, map location (latitude and longitude), check-in and check-out times, nearby landmarks and transit, the hotel's website and country. Turn on **booking-site prices** and every row also carries each site's price for the hotel - Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Priceline, Agoda, Trip.com and more. Type a place, pick your dates, click **Start**, and download the hotels as Excel, CSV or JSON.

- ⚡ **Fast:** 200 hotels from two cities in about 80 seconds; a whole city in under a minute (our tests)
- 🏨 **Every hotel for a place:** paged to the end, not just the first screen
- 💱 **Your dates, guests and currency:** priced the way you search
- 💰 **Compare booking sites:** every site's price per hotel in one row (optional)
- 🔓 **No login:** no Google account needed

### What can Google Hotels Scraper do?

- **Search Google Hotels by place**, like `New York`, `hotels in Paris` or `hotels near Disneyland`, one or many at a time
- **Scrape hotel prices** for your check-in and check-out dates, in any currency
- **Compare prices across booking sites** for each hotel (Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Priceline, Agoda, Trip.com, Tripadvisor and more)
- **Collect guest ratings and reviews by star**, and what guests rate well or badly (location, service, rooms, cleanliness)
- **Get amenities, photos, descriptions and map locations** for every hotel
- **Track hotel prices and availability** for a destination over time
- **Build a hotel dataset** for a city, region or landmark for travel research, price monitoring or market analysis
- Export to Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML or XML, or send the data to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier and more

### What data can you extract from Google Hotels?

| | | |
|---|---|---|
| 🏨 Hotel name and type | ⭐ Star class | 📍 Map location (lat/long) |
| 💵 Nightly price and total for the stay | 🏷️ Deal label and was-price | 💱 Currency |
| 📊 Guest rating and reviews by star | 💬 What guests say (location, service, rooms) | 🧾 Review count |
| 🛎️ Amenities | 🖼️ Photos | 📝 Description |
| 🕒 Check-in and check-out times | 🗺️ Nearby landmarks and transit | 🌐 Hotel website |
| 💰 Booking-site prices (Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com…) | 🔗 Booking links | 🌍 Country |

### How to scrape Google Hotels

1. [Create a free Apify account](https://console.apify.com/sign-up).
2. Open **Google Hotels Scraper**.
3. Enter one or more **locations**, like `New York` or `hotels in Paris`.
4. Pick your **check-in** and **check-out** dates, the number of **adults**, and your **currency** (or leave the defaults).
5. Optionally turn on **Include booking-site prices** to compare prices across booking sites.
6. Click **Start**, then download the hotels as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML.

### How much does it cost to scrape Google Hotels?

You pay only for the hotels you get: one price per hotel, and a higher one per hotel when you turn on **booking-site prices** (that reads an extra page per hotel to collect every site's price). See the **Pricing** tab for the current rates per 1,000 hotels on your plan.

Every Apify account gets **$5 of free usage each month**, so you can try it at no cost. **Max results** keeps the cost of a run under control, and you can also set a maximum cost per run.

### ⬇️ Input

|---|---|
| **Locations** | Places to search, one per line, like `New York`, `Paris` or `hotels near Disneyland` |
| **Check-in date** | First night, like `2026-11-20`. Leave empty for Google's default dates |
| **Check-out date** | Last morning, like `2026-11-23`. Defaults to one night after check-in |
| **Adults** | Number of adult guests to price for (default `2`) |
| **Currency** | Three-letter currency code, like `USD`, `EUR`, `GBP` (default `USD`) |
| **Country** | Two-letter market country code, like `us`, `gb`, `de` (default `us`) |

```json
{
  "locations": ["New York", "hotels in Paris"],
  "checkInDate": "2026-11-20",
  "checkOutDate": "2026-11-23",
  "adults": 2,
  "currency": "USD",
  "includeOtaPrices": false,
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

### ⬆️ Output

Each hotel is one row. Example (shortened):

```json
{
  "hotelId": "0x89c25854a7ae21ef:0x6b416e49f061609c",
  "name": "Hilton New York Times Square",
  "url": "https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/entity/ChcInMGFg5_J26BrGgsvZy8xdnk3aGg2cxAB",

  "checkInTime": "4:00 PM",
  "checkOutTime": "11:00 AM",
  "photos": ["https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/gps-cs-s/..."],
  "description": "High-rise lodging in the heart of Times Square, with city views.",
  "website": "https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/nyctshh-hilton-times-square/",
  "nearbyPlaces": [{"name": "Times Square", "travelTimes": ["4 min"]}],
  "otaPrices": [
    {"provider": "Booking.com", "pricePerNight": 390.08, "pricePerNightFormatted": "$390", "priceTotal": 1170.25, "priceTotalFormatted": "$1,170", "link": "https://www.google.com/travel/lodging/clk?..."}
  ],
  "country": "US",
  "position": 1,
  "location": "New York"
}
```

`otaPrices` is filled only when **Include booking-site prices** is on.

### Use cases

- **Travel price monitoring:** track nightly prices and deals for a destination over time.
- **Hotel market research:** build a dataset of every hotel in a city with ratings, amenities and prices.
- **Price comparison:** see how Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com and others price the same hotel.
- **Competitive analysis for hoteliers:** watch rates, ratings and reviews for nearby hotels.
- **Travel content and apps:** power a hotel search, map or recommendation feature with fresh data.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor works with AI agents through the Apify MCP server. Ask the agent to run **Google Hotels Scraper** with an input like:

```json
{"locations": ["Barcelona"], "checkInDate": "2026-12-10", "checkOutDate": "2026-12-12", "maxResults": 30}
```

The agent gets back one structured row per hotel.

### ❓ FAQ

**How much does it cost?**
You pay per hotel, with a higher price per hotel when booking-site prices are on. See the **Pricing** tab for the rates on your plan; the $5 of free usage every Apify account gets each month lets you try it for free.

**How many hotels can I get for one location?**
Every hotel Google lists for the place, read page by page to the end - often around a hundred for a big city, fewer for a small town. Use **Max results** to cap a run.

**Can I choose my dates, guests and currency?**
Yes. Set the check-in and check-out dates, the number of adults, and the currency, and the prices match your search. Leave the dates empty to use Google's defaults.

**Do I need a Google account or login?**
No. The Actor only reads public, logged-out data.

**What if a place has no hotels?**
The run finishes successfully with no rows for that location, and the run report says so.

**Is scraping Google Hotels legal?**
Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but how you use the data is your responsibility - follow the applicable laws and terms. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

**Something isn't working.**
Open the **Issues** tab on the Actor page and describe the problem; include the input you used.
