3. Choose your settings — optionally set max reviews per listing, sort order, date filter, and locale
4. Click Run — the Actor will start scraping and display results in real time
5. Download your data — export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or any Apify-supported format; or access it programmatically via the API

Output

The Actor produces a dataset where each item represents a single review:

Is it legal to scrape Airbnb reviews?

Yes — this Actor only extracts publicly available data. It does not scrape private messages, personal contact information, or any content that requires authentication. The Actor accesses reviews the same way any visitor browsing Airbnb without logging in would see them.

As with any web scraping, you should review Airbnb's Terms of Service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

Why use this Actor instead of alternatives?

• Drop-in compatible with the leading Airbnb review scraper's output schema — existing pipelines work without changes
• Automatic session recovery when Airbnb returns stale data — less common than you'd think, but devastating when it happens mid-run
• Same price as the most popular actor, no premium markup
• 60+ locales — not just English reviews

API usage

Trigger the Actor programmatically via the Apify API:

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('5CQJEP0S8Gf6kuI6d').call({
    startUrls: [{ url: 'https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12937' }],
    maxReviewsPerListing: 100,
    sortBy: 'most-recent',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('5CQJEP0S8Gf6kuI6d').call(run_input={
    'startUrls': [{'url': 'https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12937'}],
    'maxReviewsPerListing': 100,
    'sortBy': 'most-recent',
})
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items

cURL:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/5CQJEP0S8Gf6kuI6d/runs?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12937"}], "maxReviewsPerListing": 100}'

Scheduling for recurring review monitoring

Save your input and set it to run weekly via Apify Schedules. Common setups:

• Weekly competitor monitoring — sort by most-recent, limit to 25-50 reviews per listing, export to Google Sheets
• Monthly portfolio audit — batch all your listings, scrape full history, check sentiment trends
• Issue triage — after each run, filter by low ratings to surface guest complaints

Use webhooks to ping your Slack or dashboard when each run completes.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

$3 per 1,000 reviews on the Free plan. Higher Apify subscription tiers reduce this down to $2 per 1,000. With the Free plan's $5 monthly credit, ~1,600 reviews are free.

Can I scrape multiple listings at once?

Yes. Add as many URLs as you need in startUrls. They all run in a single batch.

Do I need an Airbnb account?

No. The Actor works without login, the same way anyone can read reviews on a public listing page.

How far back can I scrape?

As far back as the listing has reviews. Some listings have years of history.

Can I get sub-ratings (cleanliness, location, etc.)?

Currently only the overall star rating. Sub-ratings are not available in this version.

What happens if Airbnb blocks the scraper?

The Actor runs on Apify's infrastructure with built-in proxy rotation and automatic session recovery. If a session goes stale mid-run, it refreshes and retries automatically.
