Google Hotels Prices Scraper

Hotel names, nightly "from" prices, ratings, review counts, star class and amenities from Google Hotels for any destination and any dates. Pay only for hotels delivered. No login, no browser, no API key.

Tired of hotel scrapers that fail more than half the time? This one reads Google's own results page over a plain connection, so it does not break when a booking site changes its layout, and every run ends with a status line that says exactly what came back and why.

What you get

One row per hotel:

Field	Example
destination	London
name	Premier Inn London Tolworth hotel
price, price_text, currency	44, "$44", USD
rating, reviews	4.1, 1292
stars	3
amenities	["Free Wi-Fi", "Free parking"]
hotel_id, url	Google Hotels entity id and link
check_in, check_out, nights	2026-11-10, 2026-11-11, 1
found_via	the search wording that found it
scraped_at	run time

Plus one free SUMMARY row per destination (hotels delivered, requested, available, searches used, and a reason when nothing came back).

Use cases

• Rate monitoring: schedule a daily run for your own hotel and its competitors and chart the "from" price.
• Market scans: 200 hotels per city with ratings and star class for a destination study.
• Deal finding: run the same dates across ten cities and sort by price.
• Lead lists for hotel suppliers: names, star class and review counts of every hotel in a town.
• Travel content: "best 4 star hotels in Lisbon" tables with live prices.

How to use it

1. Type your destinations, one per line (cities, areas, landmarks or a pasted Google Hotels link).
2. Pick check-in and check-out, or leave them empty for the coming weekend. Relative values such as "7 days" mean that far ahead. A pasted link keeps its own dates, so those rows carry no date fields.
3. Set how many hotels you want per destination (up to 200).
4. Start the run. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

How many hotels and what it costs

Google shows 18 hotels per search page. To get more, the scraper runs several differently worded searches for the same destination (star classes, budget, luxury, areas, airports) and merges the results. In testing, ten wordings for London returned 136 unique hotels.

Hotels delivered	Cost
100	about $0.40
1,000	about $4.00
10,000	about $40

Price: a small fee per run plus a fee per hotel delivered. Hotels are counted once per destination even when several searches find them. Destinations that return nothing are free.

Tips for bigger runs

• Keep "Hotels per destination" at 40 to 60 for a quick price check; raise it to 200 for a full market scan.
• Run many destinations in one go: they are fetched in parallel.
• For a monthly price series, schedule the actor and pass fixed dates so runs compare like with like.

If something looks wrong

Status line says	What it means	What to do
Input problem: Add at least one destination	The destinations field was empty	Add a city or paste a Google Hotels link
Input problem: Check-out must be after check-in	Dates were reversed	Swap them
Google showed a consent page instead of results	Google asked for cookie consent on that exit	Run again; if it repeats, choose the RESIDENTIAL proxy group
Google refused the request with a captcha	Too many requests from one exit	Run again later or choose the RESIDENTIAL proxy group
Fewer hotels than asked because the extra search wordings stopped finding new hotels	Our 20 search wordings found all they could for that destination	Nothing to do; the SUMMARY row shows how many were available
Fewer hotels than asked because Google refused the later searches	Google blocked part way through a destination	Run again later for the rest, or choose the RESIDENTIAL proxy group
A pasted link gave one page only	Links are fetched exactly as pasted, no fan-out	Type the destination name instead to get more than 18
Prices are in USD, I wanted GBP	Google prices in the currency it picks for the request	Convert with the currency field; the raw text is kept in price_text

Frequently asked questions

Does it return the total stay price or the nightly price? The nightly "from" price Google shows on the results card, for the dates you gave.

Can I get room types or the booking site behind each price? Not in this version. The row carries the Google Hotels link where those are listed.

Does it work for vacation rentals? Google mixes some rentals into hotel results; they appear when Google shows them.

Is it legal? It reads publicly visible search results without logging in, and it stores no personal data.
