How far above an ordinary night
In Busan, 14 of the 84 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +131%, on Thursday 31 December 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 13 | 15% |
| +15% to +29% | 1 | 1% |
| 0% to +14% | 26 | 31% |
| Below 0% | 44 | 52% |
| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
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.
The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)
In Busan, the most expensive weekend measured is Friday 25 December 2026 and Saturday 26 December 2026: medians of $148 and $140, $288 summed.
| Friday | Saturday | Friday median | Saturday median | Sum of the two medians |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 December 2026 | 26 December 2026 | $148 | $140 | $288 |
| 1 January 2027 | 2 January 2027 | $128 | $122 | $250 |

| 29 January 2027 | 30 January 2027 | $79 | $104 | $183 |
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.
Stretches of high prices
In Busan, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 24 December 2026 to 26 December 2026 (3 nights), peaking at $148 on Friday 25 December 2026.
| From | To | Nights | Highest median | Largest difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 December 2026 | 26 December 2026 | 3 | $148 | +76% |
| 19 November 2026 | 21 November 2026 | 3 | $132 | +55% |
A run needs at least two consecutive measured nights; a night not measured or not compared ends it.
Events and holidays on measured nights
In Busan, published events and holidays on measured nights: 2; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Friday 25 December 2026 (Christmas Day): +46%, a median of $148.
| Night | Event or holiday | Median asking price | Difference | Rank among the 84 nights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 25 December 2026 | Christmas Day | $148 | +46% | 2 of 84 |
| Friday 1 January 2027 | New Year's Day | $128 | +5% | 5 of 84 |
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.
