HolidayCheck Hotel Reviews Scraper

Extracts the full guest review history for any hotel listed on HolidayCheck (holidaycheck.de, .at, or .ch) — just give it the hotel page link.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, and no API key needed — works on public hotel pages only.
• Returns every guest review up to your chosen limit, not just the first page: review title, the guest's own recommendation, travel date, party type, room type, tour operator, and whether the stay was a verified booking.
• Includes HolidayCheck's structured detail you can't get from a plain review list: per-topic sentiment with the exact quotes behind it (location, parking, food, cleanliness, service…) and the guest's individual answers to HolidayCheck's rating questionnaire.
• Each hotel also gets a summary row with the star rating, average score, recommendation rate, address and contact details, plus the full rating histogram and traveller-type/season/age-group breakdowns.
• Stable JSON that drops straight into a spreadsheet, database, or analysis pipeline.
• Every hotel you submit gets at least one output row — including a clear diagnostic reason on the rare rows that couldn't be fetched, so nothing silently disappears from your results.

How it works

1. You give the actor one or more HolidayCheck hotel page links (or bare hotel IDs).
2. For each hotel, it reads the hotel profile and then pages through that hotel's review history until it reaches your limit or runs out of reviews.
3. Results are streamed to your dataset as they finish, with automatic retries when HolidayCheck is temporarily unresponsive.
4. You export the finished dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel straight from the Apify Console — no scrapers, browsers, or blocks to babysit.

Input

{
  "hotelUrls": [
    "https://www.holidaycheck.de/hr/bewertungen-centrovital-hotel-berlin/454268e5-f1bb-304e-a92d-d4c994ae43c6"
  ],
  "maxReviewsPerHotel": 300,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

Field	Type	Description
hotelUrls	array of strings	HolidayCheck hotel page URLs (.de, .at or .ch). Both the reviews tab (/hr/...) and the hotel-info tab (/hi/...) work, and a bare hotel ID such as 454268e5-f1bb-304e-a92d-d4c994ae43c6 is also accepted.
maxReviewsPerHotel	integer	Stop after this many reviews per hotel. HolidayCheck serves 10 reviews per page, so a hotel with 1,000+ reviews needs 100+ page reads — hence the default cap. Set to 0 to fetch every review. Default 300.
maxConcurrency	integer	How many hotels to process at the same time. Default 3.
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings. Off by default; Residential is recommended for large production runs.

Output

Each hotel produces one summary row plus one review row per guest review. Real examples from a live run:

When the input isn't a recognisable HolidayCheck hotel link, the actor still emits one row for that input with a clear reason:

{
  "_input": "https://example.com/nope",
  "_source": "none",
  "_scrapedAt": "2026-08-10T18:14:28Z",
  "recordType": "ERROR",
  "_error": "invalid_input",
  "_errorDetail": "Expected a holidaycheck.de/.at/.ch hotel URL containing a hotel UUID (e.g. https://www.holidaycheck.de/hr/bewertungen-<slug>/<uuid>) or a bare hotel UUID."
}

Field	Type	Description
_input	string	The hotel URL or ID you submitted.
_source	string	Which internal strategy produced this row. "none" on a failed row.
_scrapedAt	string	UTC timestamp of when this row was produced.
recordType	string	"SUMMARY", "REVIEW", or "ERROR".
totalReviewCount	integer	How many reviews this hotel has in total (summary row).
reviewFacets	object	Rating histogram plus season / traveller-type / age-group / room-type breakdowns (summary row).
id	string	HolidayCheck's stable ID for this review — safe to de-duplicate on.
title	string	The review headline written by the guest.
recommendation	boolean	Whether the guest recommends the hotel.
proofedReservation	boolean	Whether HolidayCheck verified the stay against a real booking.
travelDate / entryDate	integer	When the guest travelled / posted, as Unix milliseconds.
topics	array	Per-topic sentiment (1, 0, -1) with the exact quotes from the review that produced it.
contributions	object	The guest's individual answers to HolidayCheck's rating questionnaire, keyed by question.
mediaList	array	Photos the guest uploaded with the review.
_error	string	Present only on rows that couldn't be fetched, e.g. invalid_input, fetch_failed.
_errorDetail	string	Human-readable detail for the error, present only alongside _error.
(all other fields)	—	On a successful row, every field HolidayCheck publishes for that hotel/review is passed through unchanged.

Notes / limits

• HolidayCheck is a German-language site: review text, titles, and topic names come back in German (the review's own language is reported in originalLocale).
• Reviews are served 10 per page, so a hotel with 1,000+ reviews is a long run. Keep maxReviewsPerHotel at a sensible cap unless you really need the whole history.
• Reviewer names are first names only — that is all HolidayCheck publishes.
• The same hotel ID works on all three country sites (.de/.at/.ch) and returns the same reviews; the actor keeps whichever host you submitted.
• A partial_* error row means pagination stopped partway through a hotel after already returning some real reviews — you still get what was fetched, plus a diagnostic explaining why it stopped early.
