Counted, not asserted

What time is hotel check-in?

3:00 PM is the check-in time at 50.4% of hotels.

18,525 of 36,730 hotels that state a time — so it is right slightly more often than a coin toss, and wrong the rest of the time.

It depends where you are

The half that is not 3:00 PM is not scatter. Every Balinese town we hold sits at 2:00 PM; London, Tokyo, Paris and New York sit at 3:00 PM. Each row below names the number of hotels it was counted from.

Counted from the properties we sell, on 2026-08-16. Only hotels that state a time are counted — 67.7% of the estate does. A city needs at least 30 hotels stating a time before it appears here, because a share without a sample size is not a fact. Times are each property’s stated policy, not a guarantee of early access.
