“Last room” lines

On a median night in Johannesburg, 48% of the places with a price showed the site's “last room” line, up to 61% on 16 November 2026 (84 nights where the line was read).

The site's own line for one room left, not a count of rooms: it can be marketing.

  • A place counts as showing no bookable room when the one-night search returned it without a price: sold out, closed, held to a minimum stay, or left without one by a short read.
  • Only the places we track in Johannesburg are counted, not every place in town; a share is of the places checked that night.
  • Prices in USD: asking prices seen in a one-night search, not prices paid.

Source: asking prices for one night, read from public search results on the scan date; not prices paid, and not a forecast. How we measure →
