Booking Pro Host Scraper

Find property managers and rental agencies on Booking.com — with emails, phone numbers, company names, and SIRET numbers.

Booking.com legally requires professional hosts to publish their business information on every property listing. This scraper collects that data at scale and exports a clean, deduplicated dataset ready for B2B outreach.

Tips & Best Practices

Start small. Set maxHotels: 50 on first run. Validate output, then scale.

Residential proxy required. Booking.com blocks datacenter IPs. Use Apify residential proxy.

Faster runs. 2048 MB memory → more concurrency (~10–12 tabs). Default 1024 MB → ~4–5 tabs.

One row per host. onlyUniqueProHost: true (default) avoids duplicate contacts for the same company.

Exclude known leads. Use excludeHostEmails to paste emails from previous runs — only new leads are returned. Case-insensitive.

MultiSearch (City & Search URL only). 18 variations merge to 1,400–1,660 uniques per search. Not available in Country mode.

---

Performance

Hotels	Time (estimate)	Memory
100	~1–2 min	1024 MB
500	~4–6 min	1024 MB
1000	~8–12 min	1024 MB
2000+	~15–25 min	2048 MB recommended

Phase 1 (city search): 8 parallel requests. Phase 2 (hotel pages): 12 concurrent by default. Navigation timeout: 15s. Results stream to Dataset in real time.

FAQ

Why are some emails empty?
Only professional hosts must publish contact data. Private individuals are exempt.

Works outside France?
Yes. Set apifyProxyCountry to your target market (DE, ES, IT, GB, etc.).

Search shows 1,600+ but I get ~930?
API caps at offset 1000. Enable multiSearch (City/Search URL) for 18 variations → 1,400–1,660. Or use Country mode (split by city).

Can I run on a schedule?
Yes. Use Apify Scheduler for recurring runs.

Dataset empty during run?
Results stream progressively. Refresh the Dataset tab to see new rows.
