## Pricing

from $2.20 / 1,000 hotels

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Google Hotels Scraper – Prices, Ratings & Deals by Date

> By **TubeText Labs** – see all our tools at the end of this page.

Get hotel prices from **Google Hotels** for any destination and dates: the nightly and total price in your currency, Google's deal note ("23% less than usual"), star class, rating and review count, location, website and nearby places. Built for travel startups, revenue managers, price-comparison sites, travel agents and researchers who need fresh hotel rates in bulk – no login, no browser, pay only per hotel.

### What you get for every hotel

- 💲 **Prices for your dates** – lowest nightly price (rounded and exact), total for the stay, and Google's deal note vs. the usual price; `priceIncludesTaxesAndFees` tells you whether taxes and fees are included
- 🌍 **Any currency** – USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY and 20 more
- ⭐ **Quality** – star class, Google rating, review count and the 5★→1★ review distribution
- 📍 **Location** – latitude/longitude, nearby places with travel times (airport, landmarks, transit), Google Maps and Google Hotels links
- 🏨 **Details** – short description, hotel website, check-in/check-out times, photo
- 🔢 **Ranking** – the hotel's position in Google's results and the total number of results for your search
- 🏷️ **Prices per booking site** (optional, `includeBookingOffers`) – every vendor Google shows for the hotel (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Hotels.com, the official site…) with nightly and total price, room types and an ad flag, cheapest first, plus `cheapestVendor`. In our Lisbon test each hotel had 9–28 booking sites.
- 📅 **Price calendar** (optional) – paste hotels' `googleHotelsUrl` into `calendarHotelUrls` and get one row per check-in date for up to 90 days (stays of 1–30 nights): the lowest nightly price, which site has it, and all vendor prices. Ideal for "when is this hotel cheapest?"

### Input example

```json
{
  "locations": ["Austin, TX", "Paris", "Times Square, New York"],
  "checkInDate": "2026-11-20",
  "checkOutDate": "2026-11-22",
  "adults": 2,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "maxHotelsPerLocation": 40
}
```

If you leave out `maxHotelsPerLocation` (for example when calling the API), **40 hotels per destination** are returned.

Destinations can be cities, neighbourhoods, landmarks or free-text searches (`resorts in Cancun`). Plain place names are searched as "hotels in …". Add the city to landmarks (`Times Square, New York`) – if Google returns hotels spread over a large area, rows are marked `locationAmbiguous`.

### Output example

Real output (shortened), Austin, TX, Nov 20–22 2026, 2 adults, USD:

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "rank": 1,
  "name": "Fairmont Austin",
  "hotelClass": 4,
  "rating": 4.6,
  "reviewCount": 7423,
  "ratingDistribution": [{"stars": 5, "percent": 79, "count": 5766}, {"stars": 4, "percent": 12, "count": 896}],
  "pricePerNight": 346,
  "pricePerNightExact": 346.40625,
  "priceText": "$346",
  "totalPriceText": "$693",
  "priceNote": "23% less than usual",
  "currency": "USD",
  "checkIn": "2026-11-20",
  "checkOut": "2026-11-22",
  "nights": 2,
  "adults": 2,
  "description": "Polished property featuring multiple bars & restaurants, plus a rooftop pool & a spa.",
  "latitude": 30.2620061,
  "longitude": -97.7381056,
  "checkInTime": "3:00 PM",
  "checkOutTime": "11:00 AM",
  "website": "https://www.fairmont.com/austin/…",
  "nearby": [{"place": "Texas Capitol", "travelTime": "6 min"}, {"place": "Austin-Bergstrom International Airport", "travelTime": "20 min, 43 min"}],
  "googleHotelsUrl": "https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/entity/…",
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps?ftid=0x8644b5a8ffd3a7ff:0xb0b0d9e21a520391",
  "totalResultsForSearch": 10849
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per event:

- **$3.00 per 1,000 hotels with a price** (cheaper on higher Apify plans: down to $2.20).
- **+$2.00 per 1,000 hotels** when you turn on prices per booking site, charged only when offers are delivered.
- **$3.00 per 1,000 calendar dates with a price**; dates without rates are free.
- Hotels without a rate for your dates (sold out / no offers) are still listed, **for free**. Failed searches are free too.

Examples: 40 hotels in each of 10 cities = 400 hotels ≈ **$1.20** (≈ $2.00 with booking-site prices); a 90-day price calendar for 5 hotels = up to 450 dates ≈ **$1.35**.

### Tips

- **Duplicate destinations**: `Paris` and `paris` count as the same search (case and extra spaces are ignored), so you're not charged twice.
- **Price monitoring**: schedule a daily run with fixed dates and compare `pricePerNight` per `id` over time.
- **Rate parity / revenue management**: run your hotel's city with your competitors' dates and compare.
- **More results**: Google returns 20 hotels per page and at most about 420 hotels per search, even when it reports thousands of results. For more, split a big city into neighbourhoods (`Shinjuku, Tokyo`, `Shibuya, Tokyo`). Duplicates are removed within each destination, so a hotel can appear under two overlapping destinations.
- **Integrations**: n8n, Make, Zapier or the Apify API → Google Sheets, Airtable or your database.

### FAQ

**Which price is it?** The lowest nightly price Google Hotels shows for your dates and guests, plus the total for the stay. Results are fetched as Google shows them to US visitors, where prices include taxes and fees – check `priceIncludesTaxesAndFees` on each row. People browsing from other countries may see different rates.

**Why is a hotel's price empty?** Google shows no rate for those dates (sold out or no partner offers). The hotel is still listed with its details – and you are not charged for it.

**Is this legal?** The Actor only reads the public Google Hotels search page, without logging in, and collects no personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Google's terms.

**Can I cap what a run costs?** Yes – set *Maximum cost per run* in the run options. The run stops cleanly when the next item would go over it: you are never charged more, and you get a clear "stopped at your limit" status message.

**Can I compare Booking.com, Expedia and the hotel's own site?** Yes – turn on *Prices per booking site*. Each hotel gets a `bookingOffers` list with every vendor Google Hotels shows, so you can spot rate-parity gaps or the cheapest place to book.

**What happens if a big run hits the time limit?** It stops cleanly shortly before the limit: everything finished so far is delivered, the run ends as succeeded, and the status message says how many items weren't started. Raise the run timeout, or run again with the inputs that were not started.

**Are my dates respected?** Yes – every row repeats the `checkIn`, `checkOut` and `nights` it was priced for, so you can verify that each price belongs to the dates you asked for.

# Actor input Schema

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Cities, areas or free-text searches, one per line: 'Austin, TX', 'Paris', 'hotels near Times Square', 'resorts in Cancun'. Plain place names are searched as 'hotels in <place>'.

## `checkInDate` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Empty = 14 days from today.

## `checkOutDate` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Empty = 2 nights after check-in.

## `adults` (type: `integer`):

Number of adult guests.

## `currency` (type: `string`):

## `maxHotelsPerLocation` (type: `integer`):

Google shows 20 hotels per page in its default ranking.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

## `includeBookingOffers` (type: `boolean`):

For each hotel with a price, also open its Google hotel page and list every booking site's price (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, the hotel's own site…), cheapest first, with room types and whether the listing is an ad. Slower; billed as an extra 'booking-offers' event per hotel that has offers.

## `calendarHotelUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional. Google hotel page links (the 'googleHotelsUrl' field of a search result, google.com/travel/hotels/entity/…). For each, prices are checked for every check-in date from 'Check-in date' over 'Calendar days' - one row per date with the lowest price and every booking site's price.
