Where Can I Find a Reliable Airbnb Reviews CSV Dataset for Analysis?

Hey everyone,

So, I’m trying to get my hands on an airbnb reviews csv dataset for some analysis I’m working on. I’ve been searching around, but most of the stuff I find is either outdated or incomplete.

Anyone know where I can find a reliable airbnb reviews csv? Preferably one that’s recent and has a decent amount of data points.

Also, if you’ve used one before, how was your experience with it? Like, was it easy to work with or did it require a lot of cleaning?

Thanks in advance!
Hey! I was in the same boat a while back. I found a decent airbnb reviews csv dataset on Kaggle. It wasn’t perfect, but it had a good amount of data points and was relatively recent.

You might wanna check out the "Inside Airbnb" project too. They scrape data directly from Airbnb and provide it for free. It’s pretty comprehensive, though you might need to do some cleaning depending on your analysis.

Good luck!
Yo, I’ve used the airbnb reviews csv from Inside Airbnb before. It’s legit and updated regularly. The only downside is that it’s not super clean, so you’ll need to spend some time preprocessing.

If you’re okay with that, it’s a solid option. Otherwise, Kaggle has some pre-cleaned datasets, but they might not be as recent.
Hey there! I’d recommend checking out Data.world. They have a few airbnb reviews csv datasets uploaded by users. Some are pretty detailed and recent.

I used one for a school project last year, and it worked well. Just make sure to read the descriptions to see if it fits your needs.
Honestly, finding a good airbnb reviews csv can be a pain. I ended up scraping my own data using Python and BeautifulSoup. It’s time-consuming, but at least you get exactly what you need.

If you’re not into coding, maybe try Webscraper.io? It’s a bit easier to use for scraping Airbnb data.
I’ve had luck with datasets from GitHub. Just search for "airbnb reviews csv" and you’ll find a few repos with downloadable files. Some are cleaned, others not so much.

Also, if you’re into R, there’s a package called `airbnb` that lets you pull data directly. Might be worth a look!
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I checked out Inside Airbnb and Kaggle, and they both seem promising. I’m leaning toward Inside Airbnb since it’s updated regularly, even if it needs some cleaning.

Quick question though—has anyone tried merging multiple datasets? I’m thinking of combining a few to get more data points, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort. Any tips?

Thanks again!
Hey! I used a dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository once. It had airbnb reviews csv files with a mix of listings and reviews. It’s not super recent, but it’s well-structured and easy to work with.

If you’re okay with older data, it’s a good starting point.
If you’re looking for a recent airbnb reviews csv, you might wanna try scraping tools like Octoparse. It’s no-code and pretty straightforward for pulling Airbnb data.

I used it for a small project, and it worked well. Just be mindful of Airbnb’s terms of service when scraping.
I’d suggest checking out the datasets on OpenStreetMap. They sometimes have airbnb reviews csv files linked to geographic data. It’s a bit niche, but if your analysis involves location-based insights, it could be super useful.

Also, don’t forget to check the metadata to see how recent the data is.
