An fáth a bhfuil líne curtha trí phraghsanna áirithe

Good news! You’re being offered a great deal. We only cross out a price when the one being offered is at least 10% lower than usual for a particular night. Who doesn’t love knowing they’re on to a good thing?

Types of discounts

• Weekly or monthly discount: Hosts sometimes offer discounts on the nightly price for stays that are 7 nights or longer.
• Early bird discount: Hosts can offer a discount on the nightly price when guests book a certain number of days prior to their trip. For example, a Host might set a 15% discount for stays booked at least 2 months in advance.
• Price drop: Hosts lower their price for specific dates that they choose.
• Non-refundable discount: Places may offer a discount when you choose to book with the non-refundable option.

How we calculate discounts for price drops

We track all Host’s prices over time and then work out the median price over the previous 60 days. If a Host drops their price by 10% or more below the median for a particular date, we highlight the saving by crossing out the original price.

How we find the median price

Let’s say you search for a night in June. We can see that over the last 60 days, the Host has changed the price for that night on 4 different occasions. We calculate the median price for this night by adding the middle 2 prices together, and dividing them by 2.

Price 1: $90
Price 2: $100
Price 3: $125
Price 4: $140

Median price: ($100 + $125) / 2 = $112.50

Next, we compare this median price to the current price of the night you searched for. If the current price is at least 10% less than the median ($112.50 in this example), we show you the median price crossed out, next to the discounted price.

Ex: $112.50 $100
