A night we did not measure is absent from the table — we never show a zero in place of missing data.

Proof: how we know $229 is the median

The night of 12 December 2026. The places just below and just above the middle — sorted by price.

How we measure this

You cannot get a wrong number out of it. A night we could not measure stays empty — never zero, never smoothed, never estimated.

✓

Sold-out places are counted separately

A median over 30 places and a median over 208 places are not the same claim, which is why the count sits next to every figure.

✓

Events describe the night, not the cause

The percentage compares that night's median with the same weekdays around it — a weekend is 5–20% above midweek by itself. We publish the number and state plainly that we are not claiming the event caused it.

✓

A thin measurement is not published at all

A city-month needs at least 30 places and 15 measured nights before it gets a public page. Below that we say “not enough measured yet” rather than publish a shaky number.

✓

Every figure carries its date

“199 places answered · priced 14 Jun 2026.” That line is the most valuable sentence on the page, and it is sized like it.

What this page does not say

·

Not a channel manager

We cannot change anyone's price and never will. You set prices in your own extranet. We are a briefing, not a control panel.

·

Not a forecast

We never say “prices will rise”. We say what is being asked today for a future night. Nothing on screen is predicted.

·

Not a competitor list

You do not choose five rivals to track. We read the whole town, so the market is what it is, not what you selected.

·

Not transaction data

These are asking prices — what places want — not what rooms sold for. We say so on the page.
