Google Hotels Scraper - Live Room Prices by Date

Get Google Hotels prices for your own dates, one row per hotel: type a destination search like hotels in Lisbon, add your check-in and check-out, and each row comes back with the nightly price, the stay total, the guest rating, review count, hotel class, a photo and the Google listing link.

Google does not sell rooms. Hotels and booking sites feed in their rates for one specific stay, which is why a price on that page belongs to a set of dates rather than to the hotel. So the dates do real work here.

The size of it, before you plan around it: a search returns one page of Google's results, which has measured at roughly twenty hotels. It is not a way to list every hotel in a city.

🔍 What Google Hotels Scraper does

You search the way you would in Google itself: hotels in Lisbon,

family hotels near Disneyland Paris

Dates matter more than anything else here. Leave checkIn and checkOut empty and Google prices a stay of its own choosing, so what you get back is not comparable to anything. Set them and the prices belong to your itinerary.

Every page is checked before you pay for it. Google's page says which place, which stay and which guests it priced. If that is not what you asked for, the search is refused with a note and nothing is charged.

propertyToken is the field to key on. It is Google's stable id for the property, so tracking one hotel's price across runs survives a name being reformatted.

📋 What data you get from each Google Hotels listing

▶️ How to scrape Google Hotels prices

1. Open Google Hotels Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Put your destinations into Hotel searches, replacing the example. Ten at most.
3. Fill in Check-in date and Check-out date. Prices mean little without them.
4. Add Children's ages if kids are coming, pick a Currency if you want one, then click Start.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the Apify API.

Run it with no searches and you get one labelled sample row so you can see the shape. That row is not charged.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Google Hotels prices?

$3.50 per 1,000 hotels, which is $0.0035 a row. The same rate on every Apify plan, no volume tiers. On the free plan, the $5 Apify gives you each month covers about 1,400 hotels.

The same hotel matching two of your searches is delivered and charged once.

Not charged: the sample row, every diagnostic row, a search that comes back empty, a search where Google could not place your destination or priced a different stay, and places your minRating leaves out.

🧾 Reading the output

Check destinationCheck before you trust a batch. When Google's page carries no heading there is nothing to compare against, so those rows come through as unverified and are delivered and charged. The default table view hides that field, along with price, totalPrice, searchQuery and the dates, so read the dataset as JSON or export it.

💡 What people use it for

• Watching a handful of hotels' nightly rates for one set of dates, keyed on propertyToken.
• Pricing a family trip: two adults and the kids' ages, for the dates the school holidays allow.
• Pulling rating, review count and class for a shortlist without opening twenty tabs.
• Building a weekly price series for a city break, by running the same searches on the same dates.

A trip priced end to end, in three runs:

1. Run this with your dates and minRating at 4, and keep the hotels whose totalPrice fits.
2. Put the name of each one you kept, with the city, into Google Maps Reviews Scraper and read what guests said lately.
3. Price the flights in Skyscanner Flights Scraper with a route whose date is your checkInDate and returnDate your checkOutDate.

🚧 What it does not do

• One page of results per search. Measured at roughly twenty hotels. maxItemsPerQuery trims that page, it cannot go deeper, so a broad city search will not return every hotel in the city.
• Only the first 10 searches are used. Extras past that are dropped without a message.
• minRating trims the page, it does not dig deeper. At 4.5 expect about a third of the page. A place whose row has no rating is left out as well, and some holiday rentals come back that way.
• Big parties and far-off dates get fewer prices. Google only shows a price where it has a room: in our tests, two adults with six children got a price at 2 of 20 hotels, and a stay a year out at 3 of 20. Rows without a price are still delivered and charged.
• Prices move, constantly. A rate read this morning may be gone this afternoon. Anything price-tracking needs repeat runs.
• vendor is often empty, because Google does not always name the booking site on the results page.
• No dates means no comparable prices. Google prices its own default stay, and that default is not stable between runs.

🧭 Which travel scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Google account or an API key to scrape Google Hotels?

No. There is nothing to sign in to.

Why is the total more than the nightly price times the nights?

The total is the whole stay with taxes and fees, and the nightly price leaves them out. In our tests it ran up to a quarter higher.

Why did a search return nothing?

Most likely Google could not place the destination, so the run returned a DESTINATION_NOT_FOUND note instead of hotels from somewhere else. Narrow the name and try again.

Can I track one hotel's price over time?

Yes. Save propertyToken and run the same dates on a schedule.

Can I get more than one page of hotels per search?

No. Split the city into several searches instead, like a district or a landmark per search.

Can I call it from code or connect it to an AI assistant?

Yes. The API tab has ready-made code for Python, JavaScript and the command line. For Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client, connect https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dami_studio/google-hotels-scraper. Either way the run happens on your Apify account at the same price.

Is scraping Google Hotels legal?

These are public listings and public prices. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the search, the dates and the run ID. The errorCode on the diagnostic row usually names the problem on its own.
