Are these live hotel prices?
No. This is a snapshot collected on August 12, 2026. Use it to understand the market, not as a quote for a specific room.
How we measure this
These figures come from 16,444 nightly price observations across 129 properties over 193 nights, taken from public availability on Agoda on a single scan date. A price is the lowest available room at a property on that night, in US dollars, before taxes and fees. Sold-out nights are excluded from medians and counted separately. A property needs at least 30 observed nights before it appears in the table. Prices move — treat this as a snapshot, not a live quote.
