Answers written from today’s numbers, not a help page from 2019.
How much of the market does Expedia cover?
43% of it: 3,540 hotels with a current Expedia price out of 8,198 hotels priced by any site on 17 September 2026, spread over 12 cities.
How often is Expedia the cheapest?
In 7% of its contests: of the 36,707 contests on 17 September 2026 where Expedia and at least one other site quoted the same stay, it matched the lowest price 2,643 times. That places it 13th of the 26 sites with a track record; Trip.com leads at 66%.
How does Expedia's price compare with the market?
Measured against the median site for the same stay on the same day, over 36,707 contests: Expedia's price typically sits within 1% of the median site quoting the same stay — it is the market, neither a discounter nor a premium.
In which city does Expedia win most?
Its best city is Vienna, where it was the cheapest in 15% of 3,314 contests. Its weakest is Barcelona, at 4%. Cities with fewer than 100 contests are not counted.
How is a "contest" counted?
A contest is one stay on one scrape day where Expedia and at least one other site quoted the same hotel, dates and guests. Expedia "wins" when it matched the lowest price — ties count for everyone tied. "Against the market" is its distance from the median site in each contest, then the median of those distances. Room types are not reported by the sources, so a very large gap can be a different room rather than a lower price.
When were these prices last checked?
The figures on this page come from the collection run of 17 September 2026; the most recent check of any hotel was on 17 September 2026. A price is what the site quoted at that moment, and it can move before you get there — the seller's page has the final say.
Where do I actually book?
StayScope does not sell rooms. Every price links to the site that quoted it — a booking site or the hotel's own — and the booking happens there, at that site's terms.
