Ostrovok.ru Hotel Search Scraper: Extract Hotel Listings & Rates

---

What Is Ostrovok.ru?

Ostrovok.ru is one of Russia's largest online travel agencies (OTAs), offering hotel and accommodation bookings across Russia and the CIS region. Its search results pages aggregate rich property data including pricing, ratings, amenities, and availability — making it a valuable source for competitive analysis, market research, and travel tech applications.

Manually collecting this data across hundreds of search pages is impractical. The Ostrovok.ru Hotel Search Scraper automates extraction from search result URLs, returning structured records ready for analysis.

---

Overview

The Ostrovok Hotel Scraper is built for anyone working with Russian hospitality market data:

• Travel analysts monitoring hotel supply and pricing by city or region
• OTA developers aggregating inventory data from Russian platforms
• Revenue managers benchmarking competitors' rates and star ratings
• Researchers studying accommodation density, metro proximity, and geo-distribution

The scraper handles paginated search URLs, respects item limits, and continues gracefully through URL failures — making it reliable for large-scale runs.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts a simple JSON configuration:

{
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "urls": [
    "https://ostrovok.ru/hotel/russia/moscow/?q=2395&dates=30.05.2026-31.05.2026&guests=2&search=yes&page=2"
  ]
}

Field Descriptions

Field	Type	Description
urls	array of strings	Search result page URLs from Ostrovok.ru. Each URL should be a hotel listing/search page. You can add multiple URLs one by one or paste a bulk list. Example format includes destination, dates, guest count, and page number as query parameters.
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum number of hotel records to extract per URL. Default: 20. Set higher (e.g., 200) for full-page collection.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. Recommended: true for multi-URL batches.

Tip: To collect multiple pages, add each paginated URL separately (e.g., &page=1, &page=2, ...). Include your desired check-in/check-out dates and guest count directly in the URL as Ostrovok encodes these into the search query.

How to Use

1. Build your search URL — Go to Ostrovok.ru, search for your target city/dates/guests, then copy the results page URL.
2. Configure input — Paste one or more URLs into the urls array. Adjust max_items_per_url based on how many results you expect per page (typically up to 20–30 per page on Ostrovok).
3. Enable failure tolerance — Set ignore_url_failures: true for multi-URL runs.
4. Run and export — Start the scraper and download results as JSON or CSV.

Best practices:

• Include explicit pagination in URLs (&page=1, &page=2) rather than relying on automatic pagination.
• Always include dates and guest count in the URL — Ostrovok requires these parameters to return rate data.
• For city-wide collection, vary the q parameter across neighborhoods or districts.

Common issues:

• No rates returned → check that dates and guest count are present in the URL.
• Empty results → verify the URL returns results in a regular browser session first.
