Google Hotels Scraper

What is Google Hotels Scraper?

Google Hotels Scraper is a hotel data scraper that lets you extract hotel listings from Google Hotels for any city or place: the price Google displays, a numeric price, the usual rate when Google shows a deal, guest rating, review count, star class, coordinates, photo, and Google Maps and Google Hotels links. It's made for travel and hospitality analysts, revenue managers, travel startups and developers who need structured hotel price data without copying it by hand. Just type a place name such as Paris (or paste a Google Hotels search link), pick your dates and click Start: no coding, Google account or API key needed, and on the Apify Free plan each run returns up to 10 hotels.

What you can use it for:

• Hotel revenue management: check the displayed prices, ratings and star class of competing hotels nearby on the dates that matter to you.
• Hotel rate shopping across cities and dates: compare the one price Google displays per hotel across several cities, stay dates, guest counts or currencies in a single run.
• Hotel price monitoring: schedule the same search daily or weekly and compare the runs. Each run is a snapshot of what Google shows at that moment.
• Hotel market research: see how many hotels a place has, their star classes, price ranges and guest ratings.
• Maps and dashboards: every hotel comes with latitude and longitude, so you can map hotels and filter them by rating, review count or star class in a spreadsheet or BI tool.
• AI and data pipelines: send the structured JSON to LLMs, AI agents (MCP) or analytics pipelines.

What can Google Hotels Scraper do?

As a Google Hotels extractor, it reads the result pages of every search you add, page after page, until your limits or the end of the results.

• 🔍 Scrape by place name or link: one search per line, with as many lines as you need in one run.
• 📅 Choose the stay: check-in and check-out dates (1 to 30 nights), 1 to 9 adults, a three-letter currency, a language and the country Google Hotels is searched from.
• ⭐ Ratings and class: guest rating out of 5, review count, star class label and star number.
• ⚡ Live output: each hotel is saved the moment it is read, so the Output tab fills during the run and saved hotels are kept if the run stops early.
• 📦 Export Google Hotels data to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, with five ready-made table views.
• 🔌 Use it as a hotel data API: start runs via the Apify API, schedule and monitor them, and connect Make, Zapier, Google Sheets and more.
• 🛡️ Proxy handled for you: runs start without a proxy, and the Actor can switch to Apify Proxy on its own if Google blocks requests or requests keep failing after retries.

What data can Google Hotels Scraper extract?

Google Hotels Scraper lets you extract Google Hotels data for every hotel on the result pages of your search. Each hotel is one row with these fields:

🏨 Hotel name name	💲 Displayed price price
💲 Numeric price priceValue	💱 Currency code currency
🏷️ Usual rate when a deal is shown compareRate	⭐ Guest rating out of 5 rating
📝 Number of guest reviews reviewCount	⭐ Star class label hotelClass
⭐ Star class number (1 to 5) starRating	📍 Latitude latitude
📍 Longitude longitude	🆔 Google place ID placeId
📝 Short description hotelDescription	📸 Main photo URL imageUrl
🔗 Google Maps link googleMapsUrl	🔗 Google Hotels link googleHotelsUrl
📍 Search location location	📅 Check-in date checkInDate
📅 Check-out date checkOutDate	🕒 Collection time in UTC scrapedAt

What the price means: price is the price text Google Hotels displays for that hotel, for your dates, guests, country and currency. The output table labels it as the price per night. priceValue is the same figure as a number, without the currency symbol. The Actor doesn't add or remove taxes or fees, so whatever Google includes in its displayed figure is what you get. compareRate is the usual rate Google compares a deal against. The Actor calculates it from the deal percentage Google shows, on the same basis as price.

These Google Hotel prices are one displayed price per hotel, which makes this hotel price data easy to sort, chart and compare.

Note: Every row has all 20 fields. name, currency, latitude, longitude, googleHotelsUrl, location, checkInDate, checkOutDate and scrapedAt are always filled. The other fields are null when Google doesn't publish them for that hotel and stay, for example no price for your dates, no star class, or no deal (then compareRate is empty). googleMapsUrl is null when a hotel has no place ID. The dates and currency in each row are the ones Google actually priced, which can differ from your input if Google didn't apply a setting.

What data can't Google Hotels Scraper extract?

• Guest review texts (you get the rating and the review count)
• Amenities
• Prices from each booking site or room-level rates: you get the one price Google displays per hotel
• The total price of the whole stay (you get the displayed price, labeled per night in the output)
• Phone numbers, emails, websites or street addresses
• Price history or price alerts: each run is a snapshot (schedule runs to build your own history)
• Details from single-hotel pages (single-hotel links are not supported)
• Flights or other travel data (for flight fares, see Google Flights Prices API)

How to scrape Google Hotels prices

Here's how to scrape hotel data from Google Hotels within a few minutes. This hotel price scraper runs in Apify Console, so you don't need to write code.

1. Create a free Apify account using your email.
2. Open Google Hotels Scraper.
3. Fill in the input form:
   • In Google Hotels URLs or places, type a city or area such as Paris, one per line. That's all most people need.
   • Optional: paste a Google Hotels search link instead. To get one, open Google Hotels in your browser, search for a city or area, and copy the address from your browser's address bar. Links to a single hotel don't work.
   • Set Check-in date, Check-out date, Adults and Currency.
   • Set Country code (countryCode, default us): the two-letter country Google Hotels is searched from, for example gb or de. Prices and availability can differ by country, so pick the country whose prices you want to see.
4. Click Start. Hotels appear in the Output tab while the run is going.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

Want to scrape hotel prices for several cities at once? Add one place per line. Each line becomes its own Google Hotels search with the same dates, guests and currency.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Hotels?

Google Hotels Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay for the hotels saved to your dataset, a tiny start fee per run, and the Apify platform usage of your run.

Event	Price
💲 Result (one hotel saved to the dataset)	$2.75 per 1,000 results ($0.00275 per hotel) on the Free plan (lower on paid plans, see below)
🚀 Actor start	A tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run at the default memory

Apify plan	Price per hotel	Price per 1,000 hotels
Free	$0.00275	$2.75
Starter	$0.00225	$2.25
Scale	$0.002	$2.00
Business and higher	$0.0015	$1.50

Paid Apify plans get a lower price per hotel. The plan discount applies to that price only. The start fee is the same on every plan, and platform usage is billed at your Apify plan's own rates.

About the start fee: it's priced at $0.00005 per GB of memory the run is given. GB (gigabyte) is the amount of computer memory the run uses, and the default is 1 GB, so a run costs $0.00005 to start. You don't need to change the memory setting.

Apify platform usage (the computing resources your run uses) is paid by you on top of the event prices. It depends on the run, so there's no fixed number for it. You can see it on the run's detail page in Apify Console. We recommend a small test run first (one place, default maxResults of 10) to see the real total, then scale up.

Example result costs at the Free plan price (the start fee and platform usage come on top):

Hotels saved	Result cost
10	$0.0275
40 (the input example below: 2 searches × 20 hotels; needs a paid plan, so the real cost is lower, see the plan table above)	$0.11
100	$0.275
1,000	$2.75

On paid plans, use the prices in the plan table above. See the pricing tab for the current events.

What counts as a charged result:

• Every saved hotel is charged, even when some fields are empty (for example, no price shown for your dates).
• Duplicates are removed only within one search. The same hotel can be saved and charged again when another search returns it, for example Paris plus a Paris link with other dates or another currency.
• Identical input lines (same place, dates, adults and currency) run only once.
• Searches that return no hotels add no result charges.

Is scraping Google Hotels free?

You can try it for free. The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit, which pays for both the event charges above and the platform usage of your runs.

Separately, the Actor itself limits Free plan runs: each run saves up to 10 hotels in total across all searches. This cap applies per run, no matter how much credit you have left. When the cap is reached, the run stops and still finishes with a success status. The run log always shows the free plan's 10-hotel limit and how many hotels the run used. When you ask for more than 10 hotels per search (or set maxResults to 0), the status message at the top of the run also adds a "Free plan: up to 10 hotels per run" note. Paid plans don't have this cap; your maxResults, the page limit and your spend limit still apply.

Google Hotels Scraper input

To run Google Hotels Scraper, you only need one or more place names or Google Hotels links in urls. Every other field has a default, so you can start with a single line.

Here's an example that searches New York (as a Google Hotels link) and Paris (as a place name) for 2 adults from 10 to 12 December 2026, in US dollars, with up to 20 hotels per search:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/New%20York",
    "Paris"
  ],
  "checkInDate": "2026-12-10",
  "checkOutDate": "2026-12-12",
  "adults": 2,
  "currency": "USD",
  "maxResults": 20
}

⚠️ On the Free plan, this example stops after 10 hotels overall, not 40. The 10 hotels are shared by all searches in the run, first come, first served, so they may not be spread evenly across your places, and one place may get all of them. For a fair comparison of several cities on the Free plan, run one place per run. The run still ends with a success status; the status message and the log show that the free plan limit was reached.

See the input tab for a full description of all fields.

Field	What it does	Default
urls	Place names or Google Hotels city/area search links, one per line (required)	none
checkInDate	First night, YYYY-MM-DD	empty = today + 30 days
checkOutDate	Day you leave, YYYY-MM-DD; must be after check-in; stays of up to 30 nights	empty = check-in + 2 nights
adults	Adult guests the prices are quoted for (1 to 9)	2
pastDatePolicy	What to do when check-in is today or earlier: shift, error or googleDefault	shift
currency	Three-letter currency code	USD
languageCode	Language of descriptions and labels, for example en, fr, de, es, pt-BR	en
countryCode	Two-letter country Google Hotels is searched from; prices and availability can differ by country	us
maxResults	Max hotels per search (0 to 10,000)	10
maxPagesPerLocation	Max result pages read per search (1 to 200)	10
requestTimeoutSecs	Seconds to wait for each request (5 to 120)	30
maxRetries	Retries for a failed or blocked request (0 to 10)	3
proxyConfiguration	Optional proxy to start the run on	no proxy

Google Hotels URLs or places (urls)

Each line is one search. You can type a place name or paste a Google Hotels search link for a city or area. To get a link, search for a city on Google Hotels and copy the address from your browser's address bar.

• ✅ Good: Paris, New York, https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/New%20York
• ❌ Bad: a link to a single hotel, or a link from another website. These lines are skipped with a warning in the log.

Values inside a pasted link: dates from a link are used only if the link has both a check-in and a check-out date; otherwise the form dates apply. Adults and currency in a link override the form values for that line.

The location field in the output shows your input place name, lightly tidied (for links, the place in the link). If Google resolves your place name to a different place, a warning is logged and the results are for the place Google picked.

⚠️ Identical lines (same place, dates, adults and currency) run only once. If no line is usable, the run fails.

Check-in and check-out dates (checkInDate, checkOutDate, pastDatePolicy)

If you leave the dates empty (also when you start the Actor through the API without dates), the stay is today + 30 days for 2 nights. A stay can be 1 to 30 nights, and check-out must be after check-in. Invalid form dates stop the run before any search starts; invalid dates inside a link only skip that line.

When the check-in date is today or earlier, Past dates handling (pastDatePolicy) decides what happens:

• shift (default): both dates move forward by one year at a time until the check-in date is in the future. The length of the stay stays the same.
• error: a past form date stops the run; a past date inside a link skips that line.
• googleDefault: Google picks its own dates, and each row shows the dates Google actually priced.

⚠️ Watch out for the default shift. If you enter a past date by mistake (for example, last year instead of this year), the run doesn't stop. It moves your stay forward by a year and only writes a warning in the log. Check checkInDate in the output rows, or set Past dates handling to Stop with an error (error) if you'd rather have the run refuse past dates.

A check-in date more than 330 days ahead only logs a warning, because Google may not show prices that far ahead.

• ✅ Good: "checkInDate": "2026-12-10" and "checkOutDate": "2026-12-12"
• ❌ Bad: a check-out date on or before the check-in date, or a stay longer than 30 nights

Max hotels per search (maxResults)

maxResults counts per search (per line), not per run. 0 means no hotel limit of your own; the page limit and the other limits still apply. A search stops at the page limit (maxPagesPerLocation, default 10, maximum 200; failed page loads count as pages), at the end of Google's results, at the Free plan cap, at your spend limit, when result pages keep failing to load, or when Google can't be reached.

• ✅ Good: 20 for a quick test, or 0 together with a page limit that fits your budget
• ❌ Bad: expecting 0 to return every hotel listed for a city

⚠️ Every saved hotel is charged. Use maxResults to control your spend.

Currency (currency)

Use a three-letter code such as EUR or GBP. A code Google Hotels doesn't support falls back to USD, and a currency inside a pasted link overrides the form value for that line. Each row's currency field shows the currency actually used.

• ✅ Good: EUR
• ❌ Bad: EURO

Proxy (proxyConfiguration)

You don't need a proxy to start. The Actor can switch to Apify Proxy on its own if Google blocks requests or requests keep failing after retries. Choose a proxy (Apify Proxy or your own proxy URLs) only if you want the run to start on it.

Google Hotels Scraper output

Results are stored in a dataset in the Output or Storage tab. You can view them as a table or JSON, pick only the fields you need, and download them in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML. Five views help you focus: Overview, Prices & deals, Ratings & class, Location & links and All fields (every column). When at least one hotel is saved, the run also stores every saved hotel in one combined OUTPUT JSON file in the run's key-value store (the Storage tab), which is handy if you want a single file.

Run the same input for several places and you get a hotel pricing dataset with the same columns for every city and date.

JSON example

Results for the input example above. This is one hotel from the New York search. Its coordinates are on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River: Google's results for a place can include hotels just outside it, and the location field still shows your input place name, New York.

Google Hotels Scraper tips and advanced usage

How many hotels can Google Hotels Scraper return?

The number depends on how many hotels Google lists for the place and dates, your maxResults and maxPagesPerLocation, the Free plan cap of 10 hotels per run, your spend limit, and whether Google can be reached. The best way to know for your city is a quick test run with the default settings.

How to track hotel prices over time

Google Hotels Scraper has no built-in price history or alerts; each run is a snapshot of the prices Google shows at that moment. To track hotel prices over time, save your input as a task and schedule it daily or weekly. Every run creates a new dataset with scrapedAt, so you can line up runs in a spreadsheet or BI tool. Used this way, the Actor works as a simple hotel price tracking tool for the cities and dates you choose.

How to get faster or cheaper results

To keep your Google Hotels scraping costs low:

• Start with one or two places and the default maxResults of 10.
• Lower maxPagesPerLocation to cap how many result pages each search reads.
• Avoid overlapping searches (for example Paris plus a Paris link with other dates), because the same hotel saved in two searches is charged twice.
• Set a maximum cost per run in the run options. When the spend limit is reached, the run stops cleanly and keeps the hotels already saved.
• Leave proxyConfiguration on its default unless you have a reason to start on a proxy.

Known issues

• The same hotel can be saved and charged more than once if two different searches return it.
• Hotels with empty fields (for example, no price for your dates) are still saved and charged.
• If Google ignores a requested setting, the rows carry the dates and currency Google actually used, and a warning is logged.
• If the network can't reach Google after many failed requests, the run stops sending requests and keeps the hotels already saved. If nothing was saved, the run fails with "Google could not be reached".
• A run that finds no hotels finishes with the status "No hotels found. Check the place names, dates and currency." instead of failing.

What to do if the run fails with "Google could not be reached"

1. Run it again a bit later. The problem can be temporary, and the Actor already switches to Apify Proxy on its own when Google blocks requests.
2. If you set your own proxy URLs in proxyConfiguration, check that they work, or switch to Apify Proxy or the default (no proxy).
3. If it keeps failing, open an issue on the Issues tab and include your run link.

Integrations and API

Can I use Google Hotels Scraper as a Google Hotels API?

Yes. Through the Apify API, Google Hotels Scraper works like a Google Hotels search API: you send the input as JSON, start a run, and read the hotels back from the dataset. You can call it from any language. Use the apify-client NPM package for Node.js or the apify-client PyPI package for Python, and see the API tab for ready-to-use code.

API runs that leave out checkInDate and checkOutDate use today + 30 days for 2 nights, so send the dates you want.

Google Hotels Python example

This short script runs the input above and prints each hotel:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "urls": ["https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/New%20York", "Paris"],
    "checkInDate": "2026-12-10",
    "checkOutDate": "2026-12-12",
    "adults": 2,
    "currency": "USD",
    "maxResults": 20,
}
run = client.actor("insights_data/google-hotels-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for hotel in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(hotel["name"], hotel["price"], hotel["rating"])

If your app needs a hotel price API of its own, you can run this from your backend on a schedule and serve the saved rows to your users.

Can I integrate Google Hotels Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Connect Google Hotels Scraper with other apps through Apify integrations: Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Airbyte, GitHub, LangChain and more. Use webhooks to trigger actions when a run finishes. For example, schedule a morning run for your city and send the new rows to Google Sheets, where your team checks the day's prices.

Can I use Google Hotels Scraper with AI agents (MCP)?

Yes. Connect Google Hotels Scraper to Claude and other AI assistants through the Apify MCP server. Open the MCP tab for setup steps. The agent fills in the input and reads the hotels back as JSON.

Google Hotels Scraper FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Hotels?

Google Hotels Scraper only reads public search results that anyone can see without logging in. Whether scraping hotel data is allowed for your project depends on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Respect personal data rules such as GDPR and take Google's Terms of Service into account. This is not legal advice; if you're unsure, ask a lawyer.

How does Google Hotels Scraper work?

It's a Google Hotels crawler that works like a visitor browsing Google Travel hotels, only faster. You add place names or search links and pick the stay. The Actor checks your input, turns every line into one search (skipping unusable or repeated lines), and opens the public Google Hotels results for each place with your dates, guests, currency, language and country. It reads the hotels on each results page, removes duplicates within the search, saves each hotel to the dataset right away, and moves on to the next page until your limits or the end of the results.

How is Google Hotels Scraper different from the Google Hotel Prices API?

They solve different problems. Google's Hotel APIs documentation describes Hotel Prices as documentation for sending hotel prices to Google. Google Hotels Scraper works in the other direction: it reads the public hotel results that Google Hotels shows.

	Google Hotels Scraper	Google's official Hotel Prices API
Direction	Reads public Google Hotels search results	Sends hotel prices to Google
What you get	Hotel rows with price, rating, star class, coordinates and links	Documented for sending hotel prices to Google
Who it's for	Anyone with an Apify account, no coding	Businesses that send hotel prices to Google

If you're looking for a hotel price comparison API that returns what travelers see in search results, this Actor is the closer fit. Keep in mind that it lines up the one displayed price per hotel, not the prices from each booking site.

Why scrape Google Hotels data?

Web scraping hotel prices saves you from checking Google Hotels by hand, city by city:

• Hotel price intelligence: see what Google displays for competing hotels on the dates you sell.
• Google Hotels price comparison: compare the displayed price of the same hotels across dates, cities, guest counts or currencies.
• Hotel rate comparison inside a market: rank the hotels of one place by price, rating and star class.
• Travel products: fill travel sites, apps or spreadsheets with up-to-date hotel listings.
• Research and reporting: support market reports and hotel revenue management decisions with real listings instead of manual checks.

Can I use Google Hotels Scraper as a hotel price tracker?

Yes, by scheduling runs. There is no built-in history or alert, so to track hotel prices you run the same input on a schedule and compare the datasets by scrapedAt. Over a few weeks, these scheduled runs give you your own Google Hotels price tracker for the places you care about.

Does Google Hotels Scraper return prices from each booking site?

No. You get the one price Google displays per hotel (price and priceValue), plus the usual rate in compareRate when Google shows a deal. Per-booking-site price lists and room-level rates are not included.

Why am I getting fewer results than expected?

• Check maxResults: it is per search, and the default is 10.
• On the Free plan, a run saves at most 10 hotels, shared across all searches.
• Raise maxPagesPerLocation if your searches stop at the page limit.
• Check the place names and dates. Google may list fewer hotels for some places or dates, and invalid lines are skipped with a warning in the log.
• Look for a warning that Google resolved your place name to a different place.
• Check whether the run hit your spend limit.

Can I paste a link to a single hotel?

No. This hotel scraper works with place names or search links for a city or area. Links to a single hotel are skipped with a message in the log.
