Google Hotels Rate Comparison Scraper

Find out what every booking site charges for the same hotel room-night. For each hotel you get 17–25 quotes side by side — Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Trip.com, Klook, the hotel's own site and more — with the price, whether taxes are included, whether cancellation is free, and the direct booking link for each one.

Why use this actor

• Rate parity in one row. The cheapest quote, the dearest quote and the spread between them are calculated for you, so you can see instantly which site is undercutting the others.
• Every booking site at once, instead of running one scraper per travel site.
• Google's own price verdict — "GREAT PRICE", or "18% less than usual" — alongside the rating, review count, star class and amenities.
• Direct booking links for each quote, so a price can be verified or handed to a customer.
• No account, no login and no API key. Nothing to manage and no browsers to run.
• Automatic retries and clear failure records: if a hotel can't be read, you get a row saying so rather than a silently missing hotel.

How it works

1. You give the actor a destination query (hotels in Singapore) or the IDs of hotels you already care about.
2. The actor reads Google's public hotel pages and collects each hotel's details plus every booking-site quote shown for it.
3. Results stream into your dataset — ready to download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or to load straight into a database.

Run it on a schedule and you have a daily rate-parity feed for your own hotels or your competitors'.

Limits worth knowing before you run it

These are properties of the source, not of the actor, and each one is reported in the data rather than hidden:

• The currency follows your proxy country, and cannot be requested. Google ignores every currency parameter on these pages. Choose a proxy country matching the currency you want; every record tells you the currency it actually came back in.
• The stay window is Google's default (tonight, one night) and cannot be chosen. Every record carries stayWindow so you always know which dates a price refers to. For a rate history, run the actor on a daily schedule — that is what this data shape is for.
• A search returns about 21 hotels and has no further pages. To cover a city, run several narrower queries (by district or by hotel name) rather than expecting deeper pagination.
• Not every hotel has many quotes. A large property returns 17–25; a small one may return one or none, in which case you get an explicit record saying so.
• Paid placements are kept separate. The ads on a hotel's page are quotes for other hotels, so they only ever appear under mode: "sponsored" and never inside rates — mixing them in would quietly corrupt any parity analysis.
