How to Get Booking.com Hotel Prices and Guest Reviews Through an API

To get Booking.com hotel prices programmatically, use Scavio's Booking.com API. POST /api/v1/booking/search with a destination and stay dates returns the city's properties priced for that stay (up to 25 per page, with review score, stars and cancellation terms); /api/v1/booking/hotel returns every room's rate plans with taxes itemised; and /api/v1/booking/reviews returns the score breakdown and the latest guest reviews. Each call costs 1 credit, about $0.002 on the Growth plan billed yearly, and needs no Booking.com partner account.

Booking.com's own Demand API is reserved for Managed Affiliate Partners under a signed contract, and its Guest Review API is for properties reading their own reviews, so neither is a route for reading the market. Everything below was captured from the live API on October 27, 2026.

Step 1: Search a destination for a stay

curl -s https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/booking/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"destination": "New York", "checkin": "2027-01-12", "checkout": "2027-01-13", "adults": 2, "currency": "USD", "min_review_score": "8", "sort_by": "price_low"}'

This returned 25 properties from 321 matches, cheapest first, with the stay echoed back: checkin 2027-01-12, nights 1, adults 2, currency USD, dest_id 20088325 and applied_filters ["review_score=80"]. One row, as captured (image URLs and empty fields trimmed):

{
  "pos": 3,
  "hotel_id": 48356,
  "name": "Hotel Mimosa",
  "url": "https://www.booking.com/hotel/us/mayor.html",
  "district": "Lower Manhattan",
  "address": "79 Division Street",
  "star_rating": 3,
  "review_score": 8.5,
  "review_score_word": "Very Good",
  "review_count": 1105,
  "price": 112.03,
  "price_formatted": "US$112.03",
  "currency": "USD",
  "charges_info": "+US$20 taxes",
  "room_name": "Superior Queen Room",
  "free_cancellation": true,
  "free_cancellation_until": "2027-01-10T05:00:00Z",
  "is_sold_out": false,
  "sponsored": false
}

charges_info tells you this price is before tax, sponsored lets you drop paid placements from a ranking, and page fetches the next 25. min_price and max_price filter per night, and stars, free_cancellation and breakfast_included narrow the set further. Send checkin and checkout together: Booking ignores a lone check-in date and prices dates of its own choosing.

Step 2: Get a hotel's rate plans with taxes

Pass the url from a search row, with the same stay:

curl -s https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/booking/hotel \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"hotel": "https://www.booking.com/hotel/us/edison-triumph-group.html", "checkin": "2027-01-12", "checkout": "2027-01-13", "adults": 2, "currency": "USD"}'

For Hotel Edison Times Square this returned 22 room types and 30 rate offers in 3.3 s, plus facilities, house rules, fine print, meal options and 80 images. The first room's two offers, as captured (per-night fields trimmed):

{
  "name": "Signature 1 Queen Bed",
  "size_m2": 20.9,
  "max_persons": 2,
  "offers": [
    {
      "price": 158.26,
      "price_with_charges": 185.1,
      "excluded_charges_total": 26.84,
      "cancellation_type": "non_refundable",
      "meal_plan": "breakfast",
      "excluded_charges": [
        { "name": "14.75 % TAX", "type": "TAX", "amount": 23.34 },
        { "name": "City tax", "type": "City tax", "amount": 3.5 }
      ]
    },
    {
      "price": 166.01,
      "price_with_charges": 194,
      "excluded_charges_total": 27.99,
      "cancellation_type": "free_cancellation",
      "meal_plan": "breakfast"
    }
  ]
}

Free cancellation cost $8.90 more here, all in. Compare hotels on price_with_charges, not price: some properties show taxes included and some do not, and our search call priced The Mayfair at $258.63 for November 10 while its hotel call added $37.43 of taxes, $296.06 in all.

Step 3: Price the same hotel across dates

A rate calendar is the same hotel call with different dates. We ran it for six New York hotels on five one-night stays, 30 calls in all:

A sold-out night comes back with is_sold_out: true, a null price_from and room types with no offers, which is a data point in itself. The chart and what it means for rate shopping are in the best Booking.com hotel price APIs.

Step 4: Read the guest reviews

curl -s https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/booking/reviews \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"hotel": "https://www.booking.com/hotel/us/pod-times-square.html"}'

The response, as captured and trimmed to the first entries of each list:

{
  "hotel_id": 2377260,
  "name": "Pod Times Square",
  "score": 8.6,
  "total_count": 16439,
  "count": 10,
  "subscores": [
    { "name": "hotel_location", "label": "Location", "score": 9.5, "review_count": 16175 },
    { "name": "hotel_value", "label": "Value for money", "score": 8.4, "review_count": 16180 }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "review_count": 2853,
    "cons": [
      {
        "text": "Value For Money: Affordable rates for the area, though some guests report hidden fees and high deposits.",
        "mentions": 832,
        "sentiment": "MIXED"
      }
    ]
  },
  "reviews": [
    {
      "title": "Confortable and great price",
      "positive": "It has a great location and is close to so many things",
      "negative": "There was a lot of construction going on the area which I know is not their fault",
      "score": 10,
      "reviewed_at": "2026-10-27T01:02:43.000Z",
      "guest_country": "us",
      "customer_type": "YOUNG_COUPLE",
      "trip_purpose": "LEISURE",
      "room_name": "Full Pod"
    }
  ]
}

Booking asks guests what they liked and what they did not as separate questions, so positive and negative arrive pre-split, which is better input for sentiment analysis than one blended paragraph. subscores covers staff, facilities, cleanliness, comfort, value, location and, where rated, breakfast and Wi-Fi. There is no paging: each call returns the 10 latest reviews.

All three endpoints
