How far above an ordinary night
In Kolkata, 2 of the 84 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +20%, on Sunday 15 November 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 0 | 0% |
| +15% to +29% | 2 | 2% |
| 0% to +14% | 44 | 52% |
| Below 0% | 38 | 45% |
| 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.

| 8 January 2027 | 9 January 2027 | $33 | $34 | $67 |
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.
Events and holidays on measured nights
In Kolkata, published events and holidays on measured nights: 3; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Friday 25 December 2026 (Christmas): +10%, a median of $38.

| Tuesday 24 November 2026 | Guru Nanak's Birthday | $26 | -12% | 84 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.
