How to Scrape Fliggy (飞猪) Hotel Reviews (2026 Guide)
Fliggy (飞猪) is Alibaba's travel platform, and its hotels hold one of the largest pools of Chinese-traveler feedback anywhere - popular properties carry tens of thousands of reviews. Almost none of it reaches Western analytics tools. This guide covers what you can extract, why building your own scraper is harder than it looks, and the fastest way to get clean, structured Fliggy review data.
Why scrape Fliggy reviews?
- Reputation monitoring - track your hotel's Fliggy rating and fresh reviews over time.
- Competitor benchmarking - pull every hotel in a city and compare ratings and sentiment.
- Chinese-traveler intelligence - understand what mainland guests praise and complain about.
- AI & RAG - build a review dataset for sentiment models and travel assistants.
What data can you get?
Per review: a 1-5 rating, the original review text, the guest's check-in date and room type, the reviewer's province and level, photo count, reply threads, aspect tags, and an LLM-ready markdownContent block. Per hotel: the aggregate rating, positive and negative review counts, and a ready-made sentiment aspect-tag summary with mention counts (like 服务热心: 680), plus star, address, phone and facilities.
Why building your own breaks
Fliggy's hotel pages are gated behind the app, its review data sits behind a signed mobile API, and its search endpoints require a login. Rolling your own means reverse-engineering the signing, handling pagination that silently caps, and keeping up with anti-bot changes. Most teams spend weeks and still miss the bulk of the corpus.
