Ahead of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, we have analysed over 1,200 accommodation listings on Booking.com & Airbnb to determine how much higher accommodation prices are during the festival compared to the week before and after.
According to the results of the analysis:
- A 5-night Cheltenham stay (10th of March to 15th of March 2025) on Booking.com costs on average £3,287.91, which is 204.15% more than the week before the festival.
- A 5-night Cheltenham stay on Airbnb costs on average £1,717.36, which is 191.44% more the week before the festival.
- When Booking.com & Airbnb data are combined together, an average 5-nights Cheltenham stay costs £2,502.63 which is 199.66% more than the week prior.
