Google Hotels Deals & Nightly Rates Scraper

What is Google Hotels Deals Scraper?

Google Hotels Deals Scraper searches Google Travel Hotels for a destination and flags real deals — not just raw nightly rates. Each row compares the Google price to Google's usual price signal (% below usual) and, when visible, the lowest OTA price on the listing (Expedia and similar). No Google Hotels API key required.

What can Google Hotels Deals Scraper do?

• 🏨 Hotel search by city or URL — destination name or full Google Travel hotels link
• 🏷️ Deal detection — isDeal, dealReason, discount %, and estimated baseline price
• 💱 OTA spread — Google vs lowest visible OTA price when Google embeds partner rates
• 📅 Stay dates — check-in / check-out on each offer (from URL or input)
• 🔗 Public booking links — Google Travel entity URLs only
• ⚡ Fast city search — one destination or hotels URL, no browser and no API key
• 📦 Export — JSON, CSV, Excel via Apify dataset

FAQ

Does Google have a hotel deals page like Flights Deals?

No dedicated /travel/hotels/deals URL. This Actor reads search results where Google marks properties with deal badges and partner prices.

Why is otaSpread sometimes null?

Google only embeds OTA comparison prices on some listings. Discount-based deals still set isDeal when the % threshold is met.
