Google Hotels Scraper — Prices by Dates, Ratings & Amenities

Get hotels and vacation rentals from Google Hotels for any location and your stay dates: nightly and total price in the currency you choose, rating and review count, hotel class, amenities, "less than usual" deals, free-cancellation flag and photos. Fast, server-side extraction — no browser, no login — so runs finish in seconds and cost a fraction of a cent per property.

Use cases

• Rate shopping & revenue management — see what Google shows travellers for your market and dates: prices, classes, deals.
• Travel apps & AI agents — "find hotels in Lisbon for Nov 20–22 under €150" as structured JSON.
• Market research — count properties by class, rating and price band across cities; track changes on a schedule.
• Lead lists — hotels with Google Hotels IDs and links for outreach or enrichment.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
queries	array of strings	—	What you would type into Google Hotels (hotels in Warsaw, Lisbon, 5-star hotels near Times Square) or a google.com/travel/search URL
maxItems	integer	20	Properties per query. Google renders ~20 per page; above that, query variants (by class, price, area) are searched automatically and merged

adults	integer	2	Recorded in the output; Google prices default to 2 adults
currency	string	USD	ISO 4217 code
country	string	us	Google gl country code for localization
expandQueries	boolean	true	Search variants when maxItems > 20

Field names are a stable contract: new fields may be added in minor versions; renames only in a major version (see Changelog). The run's key-value store record OUTPUT holds statistics (requests, blocks, Google's total count per query, reason_if_empty).

Pricing

Pay only for results: $2.00 per 1,000 properties. Platform usage is included — no compute bills, no proxy costs. A run that finds nothing costs (almost) nothing.

Discounts on paid Apify plans:

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 properties
Free plan	$2.00
Starter	$1.80
Scale	$1.60
Business	$1.40

Examples (Free plan price):

• one city, one date range (20 hotels) → $0.04
• 100 hotels with query expansion → $0.20
• 1,000 hotels across 10 cities → $2.00

Limitations

• Google Hotels renders one page (~20 properties) per query; maxItems above 20 is served through automatic query variants, which typically yield 60–120 unique properties per city.
• Per-partner offers (Booking.com, Expedia, …) and reviews text are not included in this version.
• hotel_class and rating are shown only when Google displays them for the property.

API & integrations

Run it from code — Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("vulcandata/google-hotels-scraper").call(run_input={"queries": ["hotels in Lisbon"], "checkIn": "2026-11-20", "checkOut": "2026-11-22", "currency": "EUR", "maxItems": 60})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

…or plain HTTP (returns the dataset items directly):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vulcandata~google-hotels-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"queries": ["hotels in Lisbon"], "checkIn": "2026-11-20", "checkOut": "2026-11-22", "currency": "EUR", "maxItems": 60}'

• No-code: connect to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack or webhooks from the actor's Integrations tab.
• Schedules: run daily/weekly from Schedules and get fresh data automatically.
• AI agents (MCP): add vulcandata/google-hotels-scraper to the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com) and let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor call it as a tool.
• Exports: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS — straight from the dataset.

FAQ

Is this legal? The actor reads the public Google Hotels search page — the same information any traveller sees. No login, no personal data.

Why ~20 results per query? Google renders one page of ~20 properties per search. Set maxItems above 20 and the actor runs query variants (by star class, budget, area) and merges unique properties — typically 60–120 per city.

Are prices for my exact dates? Yes. Dates and currency are passed to Google exactly as the Google Hotels date picker does; the output shows nightly and total price for the stay.

Can I monitor prices daily? Yes — schedule the actor with fixed dates and compare price.nightly between runs.

Do you include Booking.com / Expedia offers per hotel? Not in this version — the lowest price Google shows is included. Per-partner offers are on the roadmap.
