About STR Barometer

What this site is

STR Barometer publishes indicators on short-term rentals in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Dublin and London: asking price per night, estimated nights booked, estimated gross revenue, the share of listings that are entire homes, seasonality, and a few structural findings. It is written for journalists, researchers and analysts who need a number they can check, explain and cite — not for selling anything.

Every figure comes from public files published by Inside Airbnb, an independent project, and is recomputed with one script for all cities. The full method is on the methodology page, the definitions are in the glossary, and the reuse terms and ready-made charts are in the press kit.

Who publishes it

The site is published by Hexuvium Services Limited, a company based in Dublin that manages short-term rentals for property owners. We work with these data every day, and publishing the method openly is the simplest way to make the numbers checkable by people who do not share our interests.

How independence is handled

• The same filters, thresholds and formulas apply to every city; no city is selected or left out to make a point.
• Cities and areas are shown only where the files contain enough active homes (see the thresholds on the methodology page). Thin segments are hidden rather than extrapolated.
• The publisher's own activity is mentioned on this page only. No page carries advertising, and no figure on the site is based on the publisher's own bookings.
• STR Barometer has no connection with Airbnb or with Inside Airbnb.

Questions and corrections

There is no separate press office. Questions about a figure, requests for a breakdown that is not on the site, and corrections all go to the publisher through the link above. When you write, please quote the page address and the figure concerned. A confirmed error is corrected on the page itself, and the methodology page describes what changed.
