Answers written from today’s numbers, not a help page from 2019.
How much of the market does Trip.com cover?
17% of it: 1,411 hotels with a current Trip.com price out of 8,198 hotels priced by any site on 17 September 2026, spread over 20 cities.
How often is Trip.com the cheapest?
In 66% of its contests: of the 4,183 contests on 17 September 2026 where Trip.com and at least one other site quoted the same stay, it matched the lowest price 2,778 times. That makes it first of the 26 sites with a track record.
How does Trip.com's price compare with the market?
Measured against the median site for the same stay on the same day, over 4,183 contests: Trip.com's price typically sits 5% below the median site quoting the same stay — it undercuts the market more often than not.
In which city does Trip.com win most?
Its best city is Madrid, where it was the cheapest in 97% of 103 contests. Its weakest is Budapest, at 3%. Cities with fewer than 100 contests are not counted.
How is a "contest" counted?
A contest is one stay on one scrape day where Trip.com and at least one other site quoted the same hotel, dates and guests. Trip.com "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?
Prices are read from the latest completed collection, dated 17 September 2026 (the newest observation anywhere is from 17 September 2026). StayScope shows what each site quoted then, not a live feed, so the seller's own page can differ by the time you open it.
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.
