Why the German market

HolidayCheck is where German, Austrian and Swiss travellers actually write hotel reviews. If you are benchmarking a DACH property, or tracking a portfolio's reputation in German, this is the source that matters — and it is not covered by the English-language review platforms.

Use cases

• Hotel reputation monitoring — track score and new German-language reviews over time
• Competitive benchmarking — compare a property against its local set
• Portfolio tracking — sweep every hotel in a region or chain
• Market research — 900,000+ hotels with ratings, review volume and location
• Text analytics — clean German review text for sentiment and topic work

An honest note on review coverage

HolidayCheck publishes each hotel's most recent reviews on the page, typically around ten, alongside the hotel's total review count. This actor returns those, and sets reviewsTruncated: true with the real totalReviewCount whenever a hotel has more than were served.

For reputation monitoring — where recent reviews are the signal — that is the whole job. If you need complete historical archives of every review ever written, this actor is not that tool, and says so here rather than quietly handing you a partial set.

Requests are rate-limited to one per 700 ms per host. Discovery uses HolidayCheck's own published sitemaps rather than guessed URLs, and the actor reads only paths the site's robots.txt permits.
