  • 📊 Short-term rental analysts comparing competing stays in a destination.

  • 🧭 Hospitality researchers building review datasets for market studies.
  • 🤖 Automation teams feeding reviews into BI, CRM, or AI workflows.

Why use this actor?

  • Saves structured review rows instead of screenshots or copied text.
  • Includes listing context with every review for easy exports.
  • Supports multiple Airbnb URLs in one run.

Data quality notes

Airbnb may not expose every field for every review. For example, per-review star ratings, reviewer location, translated text, or host response can be missing. Missing fields are returned as null rather than invented.

Limitations

  • Supports public Airbnb room/listing pages only.
  • Does not access private account data.
  • Does not bypass login-only, CAPTCHA, or blocked pages.
  • Availability, prices, and booking calendars are outside this actor's scope.

Legality

Use Airbnb Reviews Scraper responsibly and only for data you are allowed to process.

This actor is intended for public web data. Review Airbnb's terms, privacy requirements, and applicable laws before using scraped data. Do not use the output for spam, harassment, or discriminatory decisions.

Support

Report bugs, wrong output, blocked runs, or missing fields from the Actor page. Include the Apify run ID or run URL, your input JSON, what you expected, what the Actor returned, and one reproducible public URL so the issue can be tested quickly.

Common questions

Questions and answers reused from the canonical actor README.

Can it scrape private reviews?

No. It only extracts publicly visible review data from public Airbnb listing pages.

Why are some fields null?

Airbnb does not expose every review attribute on every listing. The actor keeps the row and leaves unavailable values as null.

Can I scrape many listings at once?

Yes. Add multiple room URLs and set a reasonable per-listing review cap. For large batches, use smaller chunks.

What if a listing was removed?

Removed, private, or blocked listings may return an HTTP error. Check the run log for the affected URL.

Does it support API and MCP automation?

Yes. You can call the actor through the Apify API, schedule it, connect webhooks, or run it via Apify MCP.
