Hotels.com Scraping: Extract Hotel Rates at Scale

Residential proxies with proper rotation work best, though premium datacenter proxies can succeed for lower-volume scraping operations. Use for hotel rate monitoring, price comparison across destinations, and availability tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of proxies work best for Hotels.com scraping?

Residential proxies provide the highest success rates for Hotels.com due to their Perimeter-X protection. However, premium datacenter proxies with browser fingerprint rotation can also work for lower-volume scraping. Rotate IPs every 5-10 requests to avoid detection.

How often does Hotels.com update its pricing data?

Hotels.com pricing updates in real-time based on availability and demand. For competitive monitoring, scraping every 4-6 hours captures meaningful price changes while avoiding excessive requests that trigger rate limiting.

Can I scrape Hotels.com reviews and ratings?

Yes, guest reviews and ratings are accessible through scraping. Reviews are paginated and may require JavaScript rendering. Use headless browsers with residential proxies for best results when extracting review data.

Does Hotels.com block datacenter IPs?

Hotels.com's Perimeter-X protection does flag many datacenter IP ranges. If using datacenter proxies, choose premium providers with clean IP reputation and implement realistic browser headers and timing patterns.

How do I handle Hotels.com's dynamic pricing pages?

Hotels.com loads pricing dynamically via JavaScript. Use headless browsers like Playwright or Puppeteer with stealth plugins. Wait for price elements to render completely before extracting data, and randomize your interaction patterns.
