Eurostat experimental statistics
Eurostat platform demand
Annual city or greater-city totals reported by participating booking platforms and published by Eurostat as experimental statistics. Guest nights alone determine the Europe demand rank; the other figures are context. YoY is unadjusted for changes in platform participation. Guest nights are person-nights: a four-person party staying three nights contributes 12. None measures revenue, ADR, occupancy, legal suitability, or investment return.

A split by operator, not by platform — Inside Airbnb is the only short-term-rental supply source behind these figures. Occupancy is modeled from reviews in the trailing twelve months, never observed.
