Kurzurlaub.de Scraper — German Short-Break Hotel Deals (No Login)

Scrape short-break hotel package deals from kurzurlaub.de, one of Germany's largest short-break/weekend-trip booking platforms operated by Super Urlaub GmbH — deal price, duration, occupancy, board basis, and the hotel's address, star rating, and aggregate review score.

What is Kurzurlaub.de?

Kurzurlaub.de specializes in short "Kurzurlaub" (short-break) hotel packages across Germany — 2-5 night arrangements bundling accommodation with extras like spa access, half-board, or local attraction tickets. It covers thousands of hotels across every German state, from city breaks in Hamburg or München to wellness stays in the Allgäu.

• Rate monitoring — Track how a hotel or region prices its short-break packages over time
• Market research — Compare package prices, durations, and board types across German destinations
• Competitive benchmarking — See how independent hotels and regional chains price against each other in the same state or city
• Lead generation — Build a directory of bookable hotels by region with contact-relevant address and rating data

What data does Kurzurlaub.de Scraper extract?

• Deal title, total package price (EUR), duration in nights, and adult/child occupancy
• Board-basis code (e.g. VM = Vollpension/full board) and the site's own category tags (e.g. "Wellnessurlaub", "Familienurlaub")
• Hotel name, street address, postal code, city, region, state (Bundesland), and GPS coordinates
• Official star rating and the hotel's aggregate review rating (with the scale documented — see note below)
• Amenities list (payment methods, family features, accessibility, wellness facilities, ...)
• Hotel's general price range and primary image URL

How to scrape Kurzurlaub.de data

Field	Type	Description
location	String (optional)	A German Bundesland (e.g. "Bayern", "Hamburg", "Sachsen") or city name (e.g. "München", "Köln"). Defaults to "Bayern".
maxResults	Integer	Maximum deals to return (default: 30)
proxyConfiguration	Object	Apify proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL (Germany) recommended, though this site has no anti-bot protection.

How location resolution works: only 10 of the 16 German Bundesländer have a dedicated state-level browse page on kurzurlaub.de (verified live 2026-08-05) — Bayern, Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Hessen, Niedersachsen, Saarland, Sachsen, and Thüringen. Baden-Württemberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Sachsen-Anhalt, and Schleswig-Holstein return 404 on that URL pattern — a real gap in the site's own navigation, not a bug in this actor. Any other location value is resolved as a city-level page instead (ort-kurzurlaub-{slug}.html), which works for most German cities and towns.

How it works internally: kurzurlaub.de disallows /suche.html (its search form) in robots.txt and has no visible pagination or AJAX search endpoint on its browse pages, so this actor walks the site's own browse hierarchy instead. A state page lists ~10 recommended deals directly plus links to its child city pages; the actor visits child city pages (up to 8) to collect enough unique deals to satisfy maxResults, deduplicating by the site's internal deal ID. Each deal is then fetched from its own detail page, where all data is embedded as structured JSON — a Hotel JSON-LD block, a BreadcrumbList JSON-LD block for the location hierarchy, and a window.itemPool JavaScript object carrying the actual package fields (price, duration, occupancy). No anti-bot protection was found on this site (plain HTTP requests return clean 200 responses on every URL pattern tested), so no Bright Data or browser rendering is required.

Output

Each result is one hotel deal:

Field	Type	Example
dealId	String	"201634"
dealTitle	String	"Zu kurz aber schön! im Allgäu"
url	String	Full deal detail page URL
price	Number	155
currency	String	"EUR"
duration	Integer	1 (nights)
numAdults	Integer	2
numChildren	Integer	0
contractType	String	"VM" (Vollpension/full board)
categoryTags	Array	["arrangement", "Aktivurlaub", "Singlereisen", "Wochenendreisen", "Wellnessurlaub"]
hotelName	String	"Best Western Plus Hotel Füssen"
starRating	Integer	4
streetAddress	String	"Augsburger Strasse 18"
postalCode	String	"87629"
city	String	"Füssen"
region	String	"Allgäu"
state	String	"Bayern"
country	String	"Deutschland"
latitude / longitude	Number	47.57194946 / 10.70186913
priceRangeRaw	String	"49,00 EUR - 312,50 EUR"
priceRangeMin / priceRangeMax	Number	49 / 312.5
aggregateRatingValue	Number	5.4
aggregateRatingCount	Integer	842
aggregateRatingWorst / aggregateRatingBest	Number	1 / 6
aggregateRatingScale	String	"1-6"
amenities	Array	["American Express", "Frühstück", "Fitness-Center", ...]
imageUrl	String	Primary hotel image URL
scrapedAt	String	ISO 8601 timestamp

Important — the rating scale is not the usual 1-5. kurzurlaub.de uses a German hotel-review-portal style scale where bestRating is 6, not 5 or 10. aggregateRatingScale documents the exact scale for every record ("1-6") — never assume a standard 5-star normalization when consuming this field.

Cost estimate

Priced per result on Apify's Pay-Per-Event model (see the actor's pricing tab for current numbers). This is a plain HTTP scrape with no anti-bot bypass required, so cost per run stays low — roughly one request per browse page visited plus one request per deal returned. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run will undercount what the run actually costs.

Limitations

• location resolves against kurzurlaub.de's own browse hierarchy — 6 of the 16 German states have no dedicated state-level page on the site itself (see "How location resolution works" above) and must be queried by city name instead.
• aggregateRatingValue uses kurzurlaub.de's 1-6 scale, not a standard 1-5 or 1-10 scale — see the note under Output above.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change if kurzurlaub.de updates its page structure.
• Respect kurzurlaub.de's terms of service and use responsibly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Bright Data key or residential proxy? No. kurzurlaub.de has no anti-bot protection (verified live, 2026-08-05) — plain Apify proxies work fine.

Can I scrape a specific city instead of a whole state? Yes — pass the city name as location (e.g. "München", "Dresden", "Oberstdorf"). Most German towns and cities resolve to their own browse page.

Why do some German states return fewer results than others? State page coverage varies by how much inventory kurzurlaub.de carries there. Bayern (Bavaria) has the most cities and deals; smaller states may return fewer unique deals even at a high maxResults.

What does contractType mean? The site's internal board-basis code — most commonly VM (Vollpension/full board). Other codes reflect the specific meal plan bundled into that package.
