How far above an ordinary night

In Amsterdam, 10 of the 93 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +90%, on Wednesday 30 December 2026.

Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.

A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.

An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.
