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 Kraków: 4★ to 5★, +312 zł a night (+78%).
| Step | Median asking price | Difference | Difference % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1★ → 2★ | 174 zł → 244 zł | +70 zł | +40% |
| 2★ → 3★ | 244 zł → 311 zł | +67 zł | +27% |
| 3★ → 4★ | 311 zł → 399 zł | +88 zł | +28% |
| 4★ → 5★ | 399 zł → 711 zł | +312 zł | +78% |
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 Kraków, places with a guest score of 9 or more asked a median 444 zł a night, against 225 zł at places scored under 8 (+98%), over 95 and 95 measured nights.
| Guest score | Median asking price | Half the nights between | Places | Nights measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 or more | 444 zł | 408 zł – 541 zł | 190 | 95 |
| Under 8 | 225 zł | 182 zł – 240 zł | 64 | 95 |
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 Kraków
Places with a guest score in Kraków: 669; scored 9 or more: 277 (41%); average score 8.7/10 over 747151 reviews.

| 8–9 | 299 | 45% |
| 7–8 | 60 | 9% |
| 6–7 | 21 | 3% |

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.
