## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

# README

## Ostrovok.ru Reviews Scraper: Extract Hotel Reviews at Scale

---

### What Is Ostrovok.ru?

Ostrovok.ru is one of Russia's largest online hotel booking platforms, hosting detailed guest reviews across thousands of properties. These reviews contain valuable signals — ratings, traveller profiles, trip types, and management replies — that are difficult to collect manually at scale. The **Ostrovok.ru Reviews Scraper** automates this process, delivering clean, structured review data ready for analysis.

---

### Overview

The **Ostrovok Reviews Scraper** targets hotel detail pages on Ostrovok.ru and extracts paginated guest review data. It is built for:

- **Hotel managers** monitoring guest sentiment and competitor reputation
- **Data analysts** building hospitality review datasets
- **OTA researchers** studying review patterns across Russian travel platforms
- **Reputation management teams** tracking response rates and ratings over time

The scraper supports sorting options, pagination control, and bulk URL input — making it suitable for both single-property audits and large-scale data collection.

---

### Input Format

```json
{
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "urls": [
    "https://ostrovok.ru/hotel/russia/moscow/mid10000400/katyusha_hotel_3/?dates=30.05.2026-31.05.2026&guests=2&room=s-4f915d87-11ee-51b9-bc8f-c2f48d903ca6&q=2395"
  ],
  "page": 2,
  "sort_by": "relevance_desc"
}
````

#### Field Reference

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `urls` | `array` | One or more Ostrovok.ru **hotel detail page** URLs. Paste individually or use Bulk edit. |
| `sort_by` | `string` | Sort order for reviews. Options: `relevance_desc` (Relevance), `date_desc` (Newest), `rate_desc` (Highest rating), `rate_asc` (Lowest rating) |
| `page` | `integer` | Page number to start scraping from. Default: `1`. Use `2`+ to skip early pages or resume a run. |
| `ignore_url_failures` | `boolean` | If `true`, failed URLs are skipped without stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs. Default: `true` |
| `max_items_per_url` | `integer` | Maximum reviews collected per URL. Default: `20`. Maximum recommended: `200`. |

> **Tip:** Include date and guest parameters in the URL (as shown above) to ensure the page loads correctly with available reviews. Use `sort_by: "date_desc"` for the most recent reviews, or `rate_asc` to surface critical feedback first.

### Output Format

#### Sample Record (Annotated)

```json
{
  "id": 1754286,
  "review_type": "ost",
  "review_date": "2025-08-28 09:23:23.417476+00",
  "order_context": {
    "adult_num": 2,
    "author_name": "Vladimir",
    "author_room": "Двухместный номер Стандарт (двуспальная кровать) (в главном здании)",
    "author_residency": "en-ru",
    "bedding_types": [
      "double"
    ],
    "check_in": "2025-08-24 00:00:00+00",
    "check_out": "2025-08-27 00:00:00+00"
  },
  "detailed": {
    "cleanness": 10,
    "location": 10,
    "price": 10,
    "services": 10,
    "room": 10,
    "meal": 10
  },
  "traveller_type": "couple",
  "trip_type": "leisure",
  "wifi_quality": null,
  "rating": 10,
  "reply": {
    "text": ""
  },
  "from_url": "https://ostrovok.ru/hotel/search/v1/site/reviews?page=2&page_size=10&lang=en&sort=relevance_desc&hotel=katyusha_hotel_3"
}
```

Each review returns a flat record with the following fields:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `ID` | Unique identifier for the review |
| `Review Type` | Classification of the review (e.g., verified stay, anonymous) |
| `Review Date` | Date the review was submitted |
| `Order Context` | Booking context associated with the review (e.g., room type, booking channel) |
| `Detailed` | Full review text, typically split into pros/cons or a general comment |
| `Traveller Type` | Profile of the reviewer (e.g., solo, couple, family, business) |
| `Trip Type` | Purpose of the trip (e.g., leisure, business) |
| `Wifi Quality` | Reviewer's rating or comment on wifi specifically |
| `Rating` | Overall numerical score given by the reviewer |
| `Reply` | Hotel management's response to the review, if present |

***

### How to Use

1. **Get the hotel URL** — Open the target hotel page on Ostrovok.ru. Copy the full URL including date and guest parameters.
2. **Set your sort order** — Choose `date_desc` for recent reviews or `rate_asc` to prioritize negative feedback.
3. **Configure pagination** — Set `page: 1` to start from the beginning, or a higher number to resume from a specific page.
4. **Set item limit** — Use `max_items_per_url: 200` for comprehensive coverage per property.
5. **Run and export** — Download results as JSON or CSV for use in spreadsheets, dashboards, or NLP pipelines.

**Common issues:**

- If reviews don't load, ensure the URL includes valid `dates` and `guests` query parameters.
- Set `ignore_url_failures: true` when processing multiple hotels to avoid interruptions.
- Reviews may vary by session — using consistent date parameters improves reproducibility.

***

### Use Cases & Business Value

- **Sentiment analysis:** Feed `Detailed` and `Rating` fields into NLP models to classify guest satisfaction trends
- **Reputation benchmarking:** Compare ratings and reply rates across competitor hotels
- **Operational insights:** Use `Wifi Quality` and `Traveller Type` to identify specific friction points by guest segment
- **Response monitoring:** Track whether and how quickly hotels reply via the `Reply` field

***
