TripAdvisor Reviews Scraper

Scrape TripAdvisor reviews, ratings, photos, Q&A & AI review summaries

Pull reviews in bulk from any TripAdvisor hotel, restaurant, or attraction. Every review comes with the full text, star rating, category subratings, photos, trip type, and reviewer details. Optionally add the Questions and Answers section (with answers) and TripAdvisor's AI review summary.

$1 per 1,000 results. No per-run fee. No proxy or browser setup needed.

Works with any TripAdvisor domain: .com, .co.uk, .in, .de, and the rest.

Why this scraper?

• 💸 $1 per 1,000 results, flat, with no per-run fee and no monthly minimum.

• ⭐ Category subratings on every review where TripAdvisor has them: Value, Rooms, Location, Cleanliness, Service, Sleep Quality.
• 📸 Review photos included, at full resolution, not just the text.
• ❓ Questions and Answers with the actual answers, which no other TripAdvisor scraper returns.
• 🤖 AI review summary per place: an overall summary plus a per-attribute breakdown with quoted review snippets.
• 🎯 Filter before you scrape by star rating, month posted, and language, so you only pay for the reviews you want.
• 🌍 Every TripAdvisor country and language, hotels, restaurants, and attractions alike.

TripAdvisor reviews scraper vs. the official Content API

What you care about	Official Content API	This scraper
Reviews per place	Only 5, most recent	All of them
Photos per place	5	All on each review
Q&A and answers	Not available	Yes
AI review summary	Not available	Yes
Approval / registration	Required, B2C apps only	None
Commercial data analysis	Not allowed	Your call

Use cases

• 📊 Sentiment analysis: Pull thousands of reviews with subratings for NLP or LLM pipelines.
• 🛡️ Reputation monitoring: Track ratings, complaints, and owner responses for a property or a whole portfolio.
• 🔍 Competitive analysis: Benchmark a hotel or restaurant against rivals by rating, subrating, and trip type.
• 🧭 Travel research: See what guests consistently praise or complain about before you book or list.
• 🤖 AI training data: Build review corpora and ready-made summaries for model training.
• ❓ Traveler intent: Mine the Q&A section for the questions real travelers ask about a place.

Limitations

• AI summary exists only for some places. TripAdvisor generates it for popular locations; for others this row is simply absent.
• Sort is most recent or detailed. There is no highest-rated or lowest-rated sort; use the rating filter to slice by stars instead.
• Public data only. The scraper sees what a logged-out visitor sees; no private or account-gated content.
• No email addresses. TripAdvisor reviews do not expose reviewer emails.
• Very large single-place pulls take time. Thousands of reviews from one place can take a few minutes.

Can I use it with the Apify API?
