Answers written from today’s numbers, not a help page from 2019.
How much of the market does Priceline cover?
49% of it: 3,981 hotels with a current Priceline price out of 8,198 hotels priced by any site on 17 September 2026, spread over 20 cities.
How often is Priceline the cheapest?
In 9% of its contests: of the 36,969 contests on 17 September 2026 where Priceline and at least one other site quoted the same stay, it matched the lowest price 3,142 times. That places it 11th of the 26 sites with a track record; Trip.com leads at 66%.
How does Priceline's price compare with the market?
Measured against the median site for the same stay on the same day, over 36,969 contests: Priceline'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 Priceline win most?
Its best city is Ljubljana, where it was the cheapest in 24% of 106 contests. Its weakest is Budapest, at 1%. Cities with fewer than 100 contests are not counted.
How is a "contest" counted?
A contest is one stay on one scrape day where Priceline and at least one other site quoted the same hotel, dates and guests. Priceline "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.
How up to date are these prices?
As of 17 September 2026: every figure here is a quote read from the site on that collection day, the latest of which was 17 September 2026. Nothing is live — a site can have moved since — so treat the numbers as the state of the market at collection, and the seller's page as the price.
Does StayScope sell rooms?
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.
