This Actor scrapes accommodation listings from both Booking.com and Airbnb, compares them based on your specific criteria, and returns the best results in a single, unified dataset.

Its primary goal is to help you find the best value for money by normalizing prices, converting currencies, and scoring listings according to your preferences (e.g., price, rating, distance to center).

How It Works

The Actor searches both platforms simultaneously using your specified parameters (dates, location, guests). It then processes the results to ensure they are directly comparable:

1. Standardizes Data: Maps different data structures from Booking and Airbnb into a common format.
2. Normalizes Prices: Calculates the total price for the full stay and converts all prices to your preferred currency using real-time exchange rates.
3. Scores Results: Assigns a score to each listing based on your chosen priority (e.g., "Balanced", "Price", "Rating"), allowing you to easily identify the best offers.

Key Features

Unified Comparison

Instead of browsing two separate websites, you get a combined list of accommodations. The Actor standardizes data from both platforms so you can directly compare a hotel on Booking.com with an apartment on Airbnb.

Smart Scoring System

The Actor doesn't just list results; it ranks them. You can choose a scoring priority to highlight the offers that match your needs:

• Balanced: Considers price and rating equally to find the best overall value.
• Price: Prioritizes the lowest total cost.
• Rating: Prioritizes the highest guest reviews.
• Free Cancellation: Prioritizes listings that offer flexible cancellation policies.

Accurate Pricing & Currency Conversion

• Total Cost: It calculates the total price for the entire stay, ensuring you compare the final amount you will pay, not just a nightly rate.
• Currency Normalization: If a listing is displayed in a local currency (e.g., EUR) but you requested another (e.g., USD), the Actor automatically converts the price using current exchange rates.
