Holidaycheck.de Reviews Scraper

What does HolidayCheck Reviews Scraper do?

HolidayCheck Reviews Scraper collects structured hotel reviews from HolidayCheck.de, one of the largest German-speaking travel review platforms. Paste one or more HolidayCheck hotel review URLs, and the Actor returns a clean dataset with review headlines, full review text, structured ratings, traveler context, recommendation status, owner replies, topic summaries, and reviewer profile details. The output works for reputation monitoring, travel research, competitor benchmarking, and data enrichment without manual copy-paste.

Why use HolidayCheck Reviews Scraper?

• Structured review datasets - Get review text, ratings, travel dates, and reviewer context as clean fields instead of copying content by hand.
• Duplicate-safe and compact output - Duplicate reviews are filtered by review ID, and empty values are removed so exports stay tidy and analysis-ready.
• Filter-aware collection - Sort and topic filters already present in the review URL are respected automatically.
• Multiple hotels in one run - Add several HolidayCheck URLs and receive a single shared dataset with a fixed result cap.
• Automation-ready - Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, schedule repeat runs, and send data to spreadsheets, dashboards, or downstream pipelines.

Tips for Best Results

• Use direct /hr/ review URLs when possible because they can already contain the exact sort and filter combination you want.
• Start with results_wanted: 20 for quick validation, then increase max_pages when you need deeper review coverage.
• Combine several direct hotel or review URLs in one run when you want a single shared dataset. The Actor stops once it reaches the total results_wanted limit.
• Some reviews do not publish every field. The Actor keeps whatever structured data is available for each item.
• HolidayCheck blocks requests without proper routing. Leave the default residential proxy configuration enabled so runs succeed reliably.
• For heavier schedules or wider hotel coverage, keep the residential proxy enabled in proxyConfiguration.

• Webhooks - Push data into custom systems or pipelines.

Export Formats

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export the data to CSV or Excel?

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

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

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

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.

Which HolidayCheck URLs are supported?

Direct review and hotel pages work best. Supported paths are /hr/, /hi/, /ho/, /hdo/, /hm/, /ha/, and /wcf/hotelreview/contribution/ when they include a hotel ID.

Can I collect reviews from multiple hotels in one run?

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

Can I use filters that already exist in the review URL?

Yes. If your review URL already contains a sort or topic filter, the Actor keeps that behavior. The review_sort input can still override it.

Why do some reviews contain more fields than others?

HolidayCheck does not return the same contribution blocks or owner replies for every review. The Actor keeps whatever structured data is available for each item and removes empty fields.

Does the Actor collect duplicate reviews?

No. Duplicate reviews are skipped by review ID so each review appears once in the dataset.

Why do runs fail with HTTP 400 or 403?

HolidayCheck protects its pages and API with bot detection. Requests without a proxy, or routed through datacenter IPs, are typically blocked. Keep the default residential proxy configuration enabled in proxyConfiguration so requests come from residential IPs. If a run still fails, check that the input URL is a direct hotel review-style URL containing a hotel ID.

Is it legal to scrape HolidayCheck?

Scraping public web data may be legal, but you are responsible for complying with applicable laws, HolidayCheck terms, and privacy rules. Use collected data responsibly and at appropriate request volumes.
