A night's figure is the median asking price of one star rating's places that night (3 or more priced); a row's figure is the median of those nights, and its range the middle half of them.
The step from one star rating to the next
The widest gap between neighbouring star ratings in Cusco: 4★ to 5★, +$313 a night (+403%).
| Step | Median asking price | Difference | Difference % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1★ → 2★ | $37 → $48 | +$11 | +29% |
| 2★ → 3★ | $48 → $60 | +$12 | +26% |
| 3★ → 4★ | $60 → $78 | +$18 | +30% |
| 4★ → 5★ | $78 → $391 | +$313 | +403% |
Each step compares the medians in the table above. Star ratings differ in size, location and type of place, so a step is a gap between two groups of places, not the price of a star.
Guest score and asking price
In Cusco, places with a guest score of 9 or more asked a median $70 a night, against $27 at places scored under 8 (+161%), over 71 and 71 measured nights.
| Guest score | Median asking price | Half the nights between | Places | Nights measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 or more | $70 | $69 – $76 | 142 | 71 |
| Under 8 | $27 | $27 – $28 | 19 | 71 |
Places scored 8 to 9 sit out, so no place is in both rows. This compares two groups of places; it does not show that a score moves a price.
Guest scores in Cusco
Places with a guest score in Cusco: 320; scored 9 or more: 155 (48%); average score 8.9/10 over 126913 reviews.
| Guest score | Places | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 9–10 | 155 | 48% |
| 8–9 | 139 | 43% |
| 7–8 | 24 | 8% |
| 6–7 | 1 | 0% |
| ‹6 | 1 | 0% |
Every place seen in the town counts here, whether or not it showed a price on these nights. Star ratings and guest scores are the hotel sites' own: a star rating is often set by the place itself, a guest score comes from its reviews.
Well rated at or under the median price
For the night of 13 December 2026 in Cusco, 39 of 197 priced places had a guest score of 9 or more and asked no more than that night's median, $58.
