## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Booking.com Hotel Reviews Scraper

Pull **guest reviews** for a single property into structured rows: scores, pros/cons, stay context, and reviewer metadata—so you can use them in spreadsheets, dashboards, or support without copying from the site.

### Who it’s for

- **Guest experience & operations** teams who need a snapshot of what guests say about one hotel.  
- **Revenue & brand** stakeholders tracking sentiment and recurring themes for a property.  
- **Agencies** reporting on a client or competitor listing.

### What you can do with it

- **Read many reviews at once** for a known property ID.  
- **Choose how many reviews** to collect so runs stay predictable.  
- **Optionally sort** (when you already know a valid sort option from your Booking workflow) and **language** for the response.

### How it works (in plain terms)

You provide the **hotel (property) ID** from your usual Booking data flow (for example after a hotel search). The tool **pages through review results** until it reaches your **maximum number of rows** or there are no more reviews on the next page.

### Input

| Field | Required | What it means |
|-------|----------|----------------|
| **Hotel ID** (`hotel_id`) | Yes | The property identifier (same as in search results for that hotel). |
| **Maximum results** (`maxResults`) | No | Upper limit on how many reviews to collect across pages (default **100**). |
| **Sort option** (`sort_option_id`) | No | How reviews are ordered (e.g. most relevant or by date), when your workflow supplies a valid value. |
| **Language** (`languagecode`) | No | Response language (e.g. `en-us`). |

### Output

- **One row per review** per page, until your cap or the end of results.  
- **Identity & timing**: review and property IDs, review **date**, review **language**, and guest **country** when present.  
- **Ratings & summary**: overall **score** (`average_score`), short **title**, and flags such as moderation or anonymous-style fields when the platform returns them.  
- **Verbatim feedback**: **pros** and **cons** (plus translated fields when empty or filled), and **hotel response** when the property has replied.  
- **Stay context**: **travel purpose**, **room name**, **check-in / check-out**, **nights**, and **room photo** links under `stayed_room_info` when available.  
- **Reviewer profile**: **name**, **avatar**, **group type** (e.g. friends, family), review counts, and helpful votes.  
- **Engagement**: **tags**, **reviewer-uploaded photos**, **helpful votes** on the review.  
- Every row adds **when that record was written** (`scrapedAt`) so you know which export run it came from.

Illustrative shape only: some reviews omit or shorten fields; image URLs are long and may expire.

### Good to know

- The **hotel ID** must match a real property; wrong IDs return empty or error responses.
- Review text and fields can vary by guest, language, and platform updates.
- Use data in line with Booking.com’s terms and the laws that apply to you.

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("powerai/booking-hotel-reviews-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
