The step from one star rating to the next
The widest gap between neighbouring star ratings in Ensenada: 4★ to 5★, +$72 a night (+45%).
| Step | Median asking price | Difference | Difference % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1★ → 2★ | $134 → $138 | +$4 | +3% |
| 2★ → 3★ | $138 → $141 | +$3 | +2% |

| 4★ → 5★ | $160 → $232 | +$72 | +45% |
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 Ensenada, places with a guest score of 9 or more asked a median $153 a night, against $158 at places scored under 8 (-3%), over 85 and 85 measured nights.

| 9 or more | $153 | $147 – $175 | 171 | 85 |
| Under 8 | $158 | $133 – $168 | 31 | 85 |
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.
