Research method

Areas are selected around useful transport anchors. Public price tendency labels require at least eight comparable properties in an area across six date groups under the Version 5.7 method.

No price tendency is published without a compliant dated sample. Location, transport and booking decisions remain useful without pretending that an area is permanently cheap.

Comparison scenario: Two adults, two nights, one standard private double or twin room, room-only and refundable where available. Add every foreseeable mandatory charge, airport access and location-driven daily transport.
