Hotel search with n8n
Live Booking.com rates with the filters the real site has (24 of them). Every property returns with a price, review score, room type, and a working booking link, so the agent can present a shortlist the user can act on immediately.
Free tier on RapidAPI. No card to try.
Step 1 · Connect
Install the community node
Settings → Community nodes → Install → n8n-nodes-flightpowers (v0.2.2 on npm). Add your RapidAPI key once as a credential; every workflow reuses it.
n8n-nodes-flightpowersBring your own RapidAPI key: every request is billed to your own subscription, never ours.
Step 2 · Ask it
The prompt
The job in plain words. In n8n you express it as the node configuration below instead of a prompt.
“Find me a hotel in Lisbon, October 9 to 12, 2 adults, review score 8+, free cancellation.”
Step 3 · Under the hood
What the node sends
The node issues this request against the same live API: real parameter names, exactly as the endpoint takes them.
// search_hotels
{
"destination": "Lisbon",
"checkin_date": "2026-10-09",
"checkout_date": "2026-10-12",
"adults": 2,
"filters": [
"review_score_8",
"free_cancellation"
]
}Step 4 · Read the response
Fields your logic reads
The response is flat JSON. These are the fields this recipe branches on, with what each one means.
namestringThe property name as listed on Booking.com.
price_stringstringThe total rate for the stay as Booking.com displays it: “US$2,434”.
review_scorenumberBooking.com guest score out of 10.
review_countnumberHow many reviews the score rests on: a 9.1 from 12 reviews is not a 9.1 from 1,200.
room_typestringWhich room the rate belongs to: compare like with like across markets.
linkstring (URL)A working Booking.com link to the property.
Questions, answered plainly
- Is my key billed to me?
- Yes. Your RapidAPI key lives in an n8n credential, the node sends it on every request, and usage meters against your own subscription on RapidAPI. There is no FlightPowers account and no second bill.
- Does this need a server of mine?
- Only your n8n instance, cloud or self-hosted. The node calls the API directly from wherever n8n runs; there is nothing of ours to deploy.
- What does it cost?
- The Booking.com Live API's free tier is 10 requests/month with a hard cap: enough to verify your key works, not to evaluate. The PRO plan is $10/month for 2,000 requests, and every plan includes every endpoint.
