Google Hotels Scraper

Extract complete hotel and vacation rental data from Google Hotels at scale. Get property names, rates, star ratings, guest reviews, amenities, GPS coordinates, images, check-in/out times, phone numbers, and 25+ data fields for any destination worldwide — with full support for dates, guest counts, filters, localization, and property-level detail lookups.

Why This Scraper?

• Two modes in one actor — Search by location (e.g., "hotels in Paris") for browsable results, or pass property tokens to pull full details for specific hotels you already care about
• 25+ data fields per property — Name, rate per night, total stay cost, star class, overall rating, review count, amenity list, full address, GPS coordinates, contact phone, check-in/out times, image gallery, deals, eco-certification, and more
• Human-readable filters — Pick amenities (Free Wi-Fi, Pool, Pet-friendly, EV charger…) and property types (Resorts, Boutique hotels, Hostels…) from a dropdown — no hunting down numeric IDs in Google's internal documentation
• Vacation rentals mode — Flip one toggle to search houses, villas, cabins, cottages, and apartments instead of hotels, with dedicated rental-type filters
• Full localization — 40+ countries, 19 languages, and 21 currencies so prices and property text match the market you're targeting
• Batch input — Feed an array of search queries or an array of property tokens and run them all in a single job
• Clean numeric pricing — ratePerNight and totalRate come back as { extracted: number, currency: "USD" } objects, ready to sort, compare, and load into a spreadsheet
• Transparent, pay-per-page pricing — $0.02 per search page with no per-result surprises

Tips for Best Results

• Be specific in queries — "hotels in Paris 1st arrondissement" returns tighter, more relevant results than "hotels in Paris"
• Always set dates — Rates and availability only appear when check-in and check-out are provided, and they drive Google's price sorting
• Match currency to destination — Prices in the native currency are cleaner (no FX rounding artifacts). Use currency: "EUR" for European hotels, "JPY" for Japan, etc.
• Stack filters thoughtfully — Combining stars, amenities, and property type can over-constrain a market. Start broad, then filter
• First page is richest — Page 1 returns the fullest property cards. If you need deep coverage, set maxPages higher, but expect lighter detail on subsequent pages — then pass propertyToken back in a second run for complete detail
• Vacation rentals are separate — Hotels and vacation rentals come from two different modes on Google. If you need both, run two jobs
• Children require ages — If children > 0, childrenAges must list exactly that many comma-separated integers (0–17), or Google rejects the request

Pricing

$0.02 per search page — transparent, predictable, pay only for what you fetch.

Pages	Estimated Cost
10	$0.20
100	$2.00
1,000	$20.00
10,000	$200.00

Each search query fetches maxPages pages (default 1). Each page typically returns ~18–20 properties. Property-token detail lookups count as one page each. Platform fees (compute, proxy, storage) depend on your Apify plan and are additional.
