How this is measured

Nights measured ahead in Southampton: 84, from 13 November 2026 to 4 February 2027; each with at least 30 places showing a price.

  • Up to 208 places checked per night; a place with no price that night (sold out or closed) is counted but carries no price.
  • Prices in USD, as shown on the day each night was read; nights read on 7 November 2026.
  • Events: public holidays from the country's statutory calendar, New Year's Eve by its date, and other events only with a source link (an event found automatically also needs high confidence) and only where their night asked at least +15% against other nights of its kind.
  • Other nights of its kind: the median of the other measured nights of the same kind (Monday to Thursday, or Friday to Sunday) within 7 days either side, where at least 3 were measured.
  • Left out as broken reads: nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle, and differences above +150%.
  • A multi-day event stands on its first night, with its last day in brackets; the figures are that first night's.
  • The difference belongs to the night: an event beside a night is context, never a claim about why the night asked what it did.
  • Asking prices seen while searching for one night: not prices paid, and not a forecast.
