Is Airbnb cheaper than a hotel in Lublin?

Hotels and apartments side by side

On a typical night in Lublin, the middle half of asking prices ran from 220 zł to 325 zł for hotels on Agoda and from 230 zł to 300 zł for Airbnb homes.

Each night's figure is the median (or quarter) of that night's asking prices for one night; each figure here is the median of those nights. The pooled row puts every asking price of a night into one list.

Friday and Saturday nights on each side

Friday and Saturday nights in Lublin against Monday to Thursday: +21% for hotels on Agoda and +30% for Airbnb homes.

Medians of the nightly medians; Sunday nights sit in neither group.

The gap in Lublin was widest in December 2026: 238 zł for Airbnb homes against 252 zł for hotels on Agoda, 6% less.

Each month is the median of its nightly medians over the nights read on both sides; the month links to its own page.

• Airbnb homes: the listings Airbnb's search showed with a price for one night for 2 guests, whole apartments, B&Bs and private rooms alike.

• A listing missing from a night's Airbnb search is unknown that night, not sold out.
