Holidaycheck.de Hotels Scraper

What does HolidayCheck Hotels Scraper do?

HolidayCheck Hotels Scraper extracts hotel listings from HolidayCheck (holidaycheck.de), Germany's leading travel review and booking platform. Give the Actor one or more HolidayCheck destination hotel URLs and it collects structured records for every hotel on those listing pages, including hotel identity, destination hierarchy, review scores, star ratings, pricing context, travel details, and offer metadata.

The Actor turns browsing a destination into a repeatable dataset. Instead of copying hotels from a browser, you paste a HolidayCheck URL, choose how many results you want, and download clean JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML rows for research, monitoring, and analytics.

Why use HolidayCheck Hotels Scraper?

• Reliable hotel datasets - Collect hundreds of hotel records from HolidayCheck destination pages without manual copy-paste.
• Automation-ready output - Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or push them into Google Sheets, webhooks, Make, or Zapier.
• Review and price context - Each record includes review ratings, recommendation rates, pricing, travel dates, and destination details that make the dataset useful on its own.
• Package and hotel-only searches - The Actor preserves the search mode already encoded in your HolidayCheck URL, so package and hotel-only listings stay accurate.
• Schedule and monitor - Run the Actor on demand or schedule repeat runs to track hotel supply and review signals for the same destinations over time.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
urls	Array	Yes	-	One or more HolidayCheck URLs. Direct /dh/ hotel listing URLs are preferred; destination pages (/urlaub/, /ferien/, or short URLs such as /alpen) are resolved automatically.
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of hotels to collect across all provided URLs.
max_pages	Integer	No	3	Safety cap for how many result pages to request per URL. Each page contains up to 12 hotels.
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	{"useApifyProxy": false}	Proxy mode. Use Apify Residential or your own residential proxy for reliable access. See the Proxy Configuration section below.

Proxy Configuration

HolidayCheck restricts automated traffic, and datacenter IPs or repeated requests are often blocked with an error page instead of hotel data. Light testing from your own connection usually works, but a residential proxy is the reliable way to keep production and scheduled runs smooth.

Mode	When to use
None (default)	Quick local testing or small one-off runs from your own connection.
Apify Residential	Recommended for production, scheduled, and large runs. Residential IPs look like real visitors, so blocks are rare.
Custom residential	Bring your own residential or ISP proxy pool.

The recommended setup uses Apify Residential proxy:

{
  "urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.holidaycheck.de/dh/hotels-afrika/7de062f4-676c-3e2b-ad4a-12fd69afbeb6?duration=7&rooms=a-a&travelkind=package"
    }
  ],
  "results_wanted": 20,
  "max_pages": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

To use your own proxy pool, set proxyConfiguration.proxyUrls to a list of proxy server URLs.

How proxy handling works

• Stable IP per destination - Each destination is processed through one consistent proxy connection, so the whole run for that destination looks like a single visitor session.
• Automatic recovery on blocks - If a request is blocked or rate limited, the Actor retries with a fresh proxy connection and refreshes the page context automatically. Runs recover on their own.
• No extra setup - Enable the proxy mode in the input and the Actor manages IP rotation and retries for you.

  "max_pages": 2
}

Hotel-only search context

Tips for Best Results

• Prefer direct hotel listing URLs - Use /dh/ destination hotel URLs when possible. They preserve the exact search context already configured on HolidayCheck.
• Keep result size practical - Start with results_wanted: 20 for a quick validation run, then increase max_pages only when you need deeper pagination.
• Use search-specific URLs - If you care about a specific travel context, use a URL that already contains the right dates and travel mode. The Actor keeps that context when collecting offer details.
• Use a residential proxy for production runs - HolidayCheck restricts automated traffic, so use Apify Residential or your own residential proxy when running scheduled or large jobs.
• Check for missing fields - HolidayCheck does not return every field for every hotel or search context. Missing fields usually reflect what the source page publishes, not an Actor failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export HolidayCheck data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded in CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other supported formats.

Do I need a proxy to run this Actor?

A residential proxy is strongly recommended for reliable results. HolidayCheck restricts automated traffic and blocks datacenter IPs. The Actor runs without a proxy for light testing, but production and scheduled runs should use Apify Residential proxy or your own residential proxy pool.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. You can schedule the Actor in Apify Console to refresh data hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval.

Which HolidayCheck URLs work best?

Direct /dh/ destination hotel listing URLs work best. Destination pages under /urlaub/ and /ferien/, and short destination URLs such as /alpen, are also supported and are resolved to the matching hotel listing automatically.

Can I use more than one URL in a single run?

Yes. Add multiple HolidayCheck URLs to urls, and the Actor will process them in order until it reaches the requested result limit.

Does the Actor support package and hotel-only searches?

Yes. The Actor keeps the search mode that is already encoded in the provided URL, so both package and hotelonly listings are collected correctly.

Why do some records contain more fields than others?

HolidayCheck does not return the same data for every hotel and every search context. Empty values are removed instead of being returned as null.

Is this Actor suitable for non-technical users?

Yes. The Actor can be run from Apify Console with form-based inputs, and the output can be downloaded without writing code.

Is it legal to scrape HolidayCheck?

Scraping public web data can be legal, but you are responsible for complying with applicable laws, website terms, and privacy rules.
