Fixes (all Booking actors)
search queries for property names (e.g. Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh) returning the property's city listing without the property itself for every sortBy other than Booking.com's default. Property names are now searched the same way Booking.com does it, so the matched property is returned first again regardless of sortBy, followed by properties nearby (set maxItems to 1 to get just the matched property). The property is searched by its Booking.com name, so queries that differ from it (e.g. ホテルニューオータニ東京) also resolve to the property instead of its city.search queries that Booking.com's destination autocomplete cannot match (e.g. property names combined with a wrong city, typos, or landmarks in other scripts) returning no results. Booking.com removed its SearchPlaces geocoding API; such queries are now passed as free text to the properties search API, which resolves them itself, the same way Booking.com does for unmatched destinations. Queries Booking.com cannot resolve at all still finish with a No destination found for location warning.Fixes (all Booking actors)
search queries for property names (e.g. Hilton Riyadh) failing with Failed to extract destination. Booking.com's destination autocomplete now returns these as hotel destinations, which are now supported (also in startUrls with dest_type=hotel). As on Booking.com itself, the matched property is returned first, followed by other properties in its city.search queries that Booking.com's autocomplete cannot resolve at all crashing with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'searchPlaces'). Booking.com no longer serves the fallback SearchPlaces API, so such runs now finish with a No destination found for location warning instead of failing the request.Features ('booking-scraper')
minimumNights (the minimum length of stay Booking.com requires for the scraped check-in date) and minimumNightsByDate (the same requirement per check-in date, covering the requested stay) to the properties. Both come with the Scrape hotel surroundings & room offerings add-on, as they are extracted from the same API call.Features (all Booking actors)
startUrls without the www. subdomain (e.g. https://booking.com/hotel/cz/jeromehouse.en-gb.html), which are now normalized to the canonical https://www.booking.com/... URL before scraping instead of being rejected as invalidBreaking changes ('booking-scraper')
privacyLevel from roomOfferings.roomDetail.property.roomsDetails[], since Booking.com no longer returns this field there and it was causing the room offerings extraction to fail. The privacy classification is still available under roomOfferings.roomDetail.highlightsForAllRooms[].roomHighlights[].privacyLevel.Features ('booking-scraper')
hasGeniusDiscount and geniusDiscountText to each room rate plan (rooms[].options[]), so it is possible to identify which specific rate plans are eligible for the Booking.com Genius discountBreaking changes ('booking-scraper')
bedTypes[].beds field now returns a single pre-joined string instead of separate entries. Multiple beds that always coexist are joined with " AND " (e.g. "1 king bed AND 1 sofa bed"); selectable alternatives are joined with " OR " (e.g. "2 single beds OR 1 large double bed"). Previously each bed option was a separate element in the array.Features ('booking-scraper')
