Google Hotels Scraper for Python (no browser, no API key)

Search Google Hotels for any city, district or landmark and get clean JSON: price per night and total for your dates, star class, rating, review count and distribution, rating by aspect (service, location, cleanliness...), GPS, website, photos, check-in times and nearby places.

• No Selenium / Playwright - plain HTTPS requests, about 20 hotels per second
• Real dates, number of guests and any currency
• Automatic paging - hundreds or thousands of hotels per location
• Unrecognized locations raise a clear error instead of returning random hotels

Install

pip install curl_cffi
git clone https://github.com/janik4321sdfa/google-hotels-python
cd google-hotels-python

Command line

python -m google_hotels Prague 2026-11-12 --nights 2 --adults 2
python -m google_hotels "Manhattan, New York" 2026-12-18 --currency EUR --limit 200 --json

    80 USD/night  4.5 (1632 reviews)  4*  Royal Court Hotel
   180 USD/night  4.8 (1461 reviews)  4*  The Julius Prague
   ...

Python

from google_hotels import search

hotels = search("Prague", "2026-11-12", nights=2, adults=2, currency="EUR", limit=200)
best = [h for h in hotels if (h["rating"] or 0) >= 4.5 and (h["pricePerNight"] or 1e9) < 120]
for h in best:
    print(h["name"], h["pricePerNight"], h["rating"], h["latitude"], h["longitude"], h["website"])

How it works

Google Hotels keeps the search state (place, dates, guests, currency) in the ts URL parameter and the page cursor in qs - both are base64 protobuf messages built by hand in build_ts() / build_qs(). Results are parsed from the server-rendered ds:0 data block.

Running at scale (price monitoring, many cities)

For scheduled monitoring of many cities and dates without getting rate-limited or maintaining the parser, use the hosted version:
