Booking.com Hotels Scraper

Scrape hotel listings from Booking.com search results. Provide a destination, check-in/out dates, and number of guests to get hotel names, prices, ratings, review counts, room types, cancellation policies, and location data as a clean, structured dataset.

What it does

Given a destination city and date range, the actor searches Booking.com and returns all hotel listings from the search results page. Each record includes the hotel's name, URL, address, star rating, review score, nightly price, room type, and cancellation policy.

The actor uses a real Chromium browser (Playwright) to automatically solve Booking.com's AWS WAF JavaScript challenge and extract data after the page renders.

Use cases

• Travel analytics and competitor pricing research
• Hotel availability monitoring and rate tracking
• Business travel planning datasets
• Academic travel and hospitality research
• Destination popularity and pricing trend analysis
