Google Hotels Scraper

Google Hotels Scraper: live prices for your own dates, by destination search

Google does not sell hotel rooms. Hotels and booking sites feed their rates in for one specific itinerary, which is why a price on that page belongs to a set of dates rather than to the hotel. So you give it plain searches like hotels in Barcelona, plus your check-in and check-out, and each row comes back priced for your stay.

The size of it, before you plan around it: a search returns one page of Google's results, which has measured at roughly twenty hotels. It is not a way to enumerate every hotel in a city.

🏨 What Google Hotels Scraper does

You search the way you would in Google itself: hotels in Lisbon, family hotels near Disneyland Paris. Each row carries the hotel name, the nightly price, the stay total, the currency, the star rating, the review count, the hotel class and type, a photo and a link to the Google listing.

Dates matter more than anything else here. Leave checkIn and checkOut empty and Google prices its own default stay, so what you get back is not comparable to anything. Set them and the prices belong to your itinerary.

Every page is checked before you pay for it. Google's page says which stay and which guests it priced. If that is not what you asked for, the search is refused and nothing is charged.

propertyToken is the field to key on. It is Google's stable identifier for the property, so tracking one hotel's price across runs survives a name being reformatted.

resolvedLocation is worth a glance. It is the destination Google says it searched. Ask for hotels near the Eiffel Tower and it reads Paris, which is right, but it is also how you catch a search that drifted.

📥 What you give it

{
  "searchQueries": ["hotels in Lisbon", "family hotels near Disneyland Paris"],
  "checkIn": "2027-05-14",
  "checkOut": "2027-05-16",
  "adults": 2,
  "childAges": [8],
  "country": "fr",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 50
}

Run it with no searches and you get one labelled sample row so you can see the shape. That row is not charged.

📤 What you get back

A real row from a recent run, with the long photo link cut short. This search was run without dates, which is why the date fields are empty:

{
  "ok": true,

  "searchQuery": "hotels in Barcelona",
  "name": "Hotel SB Diagonal Zero Barcelona",
  "vendor": null,
  "price": 102,
  "priceText": "US$102",
  "currency": "USD",

  "destinationCheck": "ok"
}

🧾 Reading the output

Check destinationCheck before you trust a batch. When Google's page carries no heading there is nothing to compare against, so those rows come through as unverified and are delivered and charged. The Overview table hides that field, along with price, totalPrice, searchQuery and the dates, so read the dataset as JSON or export it.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open Google Hotels Scraper and click Try for free. 2. Put your destinations into Hotel searches, replacing the example. Ten at most. 3. Fill in Check-in date and Check-out date. Prices are meaningless without them. 4. Add Children's ages if kids are coming, pick a Currency if you want one, then click Start. 5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the Apify API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$3.50 per 1,000 hotels, which is $0.0035 a row. The same rate on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

The same hotel matching two of your searches is delivered and charged once.

Not charged: the sample row, every diagnostic row, a search that comes back empty, a search where Google could not place your destination, and places your minRating leaves out.

💡 What people use it for

• Watching a handful of hotels' nightly rates for one set of dates, keyed on propertyToken.
• Pricing a family trip: two adults and the kids' ages, for the dates the school holidays allow.
• Pulling rating, review count and class for a shortlist without opening twenty tabs.
• Building a weekly price series for a city break, by running the same searches on the same dates.

🚧 What it does not do

• One page of results per search. Measured at roughly twenty hotels. maxItemsPerQuery trims

that page, it cannot go deeper, so a broad city search will not return every hotel in the city.

• Only the first 10 searches are used. Extras past that are dropped without a message.
• minRating trims the page, it does not dig deeper. Places below it are taken out of the one page

each search returns, so at 4.5 expect about a third of that page. A place whose row has no rating is left out as well, and some holiday rentals come back that way.

• Big parties and far-off dates get fewer prices. Google only shows a price where it has a room:

in our tests, two adults with six children got a price at 2 of 20 hotels, and a stay a year out at 3 of 20. Rows without a price are still delivered and charged.

• Prices move, constantly. A rate read this morning may be gone this afternoon. Anything

price-tracking needs repeat runs.

• vendor is often empty, because Google does not always name the booking site on the results

page.

• No dates means no comparable prices. Google prices its own default stay, and that default is

not stable between runs.

• Ratings are Google's, not a hotel's or a booking site's, so they will not line up with either.

🧭 Which Google scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Google account or an API key? No. Nothing to sign in to.

Why is the total more than the nightly price times the nights? The total is the whole stay with taxes and fees, and the nightly price leaves them out. In our tests it ran up to a quarter higher.

Why did a search return nothing? Most likely Google could not place the destination, so the run returned a DESTINATION_NOT_FOUND note instead of hotels from somewhere else. Narrow the name and try again.

Can I track one hotel over time? Yes. Save propertyToken and run the same dates on a schedule.

Can I get more than one page of hotels per search? No. Split the city into several searches instead, like a district or a landmark per query.

Is scraping Google Hotels legal? These are public listings and public prices. Apify's write-up on scraping and the law is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the search, the dates and the run ID. The errorCode on the diagnostic row usually names the problem on its own.
