Stop Juggling Multiple Review APIs — Get Booking.com, Yelp, and Google Maps Reviews in One Call

Building a travel app that shows hotel or restaurant reviews? You probably know the pain: each review platform has its own API, its own auth flow, its own response format. Normalizing data from Booking.com, Yelp, and Google Maps into something usable takes days of integration work.

The Multi-Platform Travel Reviews API solves this by consolidating reviews from all three platforms into a single, unified endpoint. One request, one response format, reviews from everywhere.

What It Does

Send a place name and location, and the API returns aggregated reviews and ratings from Booking.com, Yelp, and Google Maps. You can also filter by platform if you only need data from specific sources.

Key features:

  • Unified response format across all platforms
  • Filter by platform — request only Booking.com, only Yelp, or any combination
  • Works for hotels and restaurants — covers the two biggest travel review categories
  • No multi-API key management — one subscription covers all sources

Quick Example

Here's how to pull reviews for a hotel in New York:

const response = await fetch(
  'https://tripadvisor-reviews-production.up.railway.app/api/reviews?' +
  new URLSearchParams({
    place_name: 'The Plaza Hotel',
    location: 'New York, NY',
    platforms: 'booking,yelp,google'
  }),
  {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY',
      'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'multi-travel-reviews-api.p.rapidapi.com'
    }
  }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The response includes normalized review objects with ratings, review text, source platform, and metadata — ready to render in your UI without any transformation.

Use Cases

  • Travel comparison apps — show side-by-side ratings from multiple sources
  • Hotel booking platforms — enrich listings with real guest reviews
  • Restaurant discovery tools — aggregate ratings to give users the full picture
  • Market research — analyze sentiment and ratings across platforms at scale

Why Not Scrape It Yourself?

Scraping review sites is fragile, legally gray, and breaks constantly. This API handles the data collection, normalization, and uptime so you can focus on building your product.

Try It Out

The API is live on RapidAPI with a free tier to get started. Hit the endpoint, inspect the response, and see how fast you can integrate multi-platform reviews into your project.
