Tips for Best Results

Use Direct Accommodation URLs

• Direct Zoover accommodation URLs provide the most reliable results.

• Test with 20 results before increasing collection size.

Keep Output Focused

• Use multiple URLs when comparing accommodations.
• Review category scores are included only when Zoover provides them.

Configure Proxies for Production

• Keep the Apify Proxy enabled; it provides reliable access.
• Keep proxy settings enabled when collecting data from many pages.
• Retry later if Zoover temporarily limits access.

Does the scraper remove duplicate reviews?
