What we measured

On 14 November 2026 we queried VervTrip’s hotel catalogue for London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and New York. We counted records with a non-empty hotel URL slug, an exact city slug and the matching country code. Each record counts once within its city. This is a snapshot of our catalogue, not a census of all hotels or an availability check for particular dates.

How to read the comparison

The table reports catalogue records, records with a stored star classification from 3 through 4 inclusive, and records with no classification or a zero value. The middle group includes half-star values. Stored classifications are not guest review scores and are not independently standardised across countries. A large catalogue gives more entries to investigate, not proof of lower prices or better hotels.

What the results can help you decide

Use these counts to understand the breadth of the catalogue before searching, not to pick a destination solely on quantity. A property without a classification is not necessarily low quality: read its facilities, room details and guest information. If a precise location or accessibility feature matters, those checks should come before star labels. Compare actual quotes for your dates before treating any catalogue property as an available deal.

Limits and reproducibility

The source is VervTrip’s own catalogue, extracted at the timestamp below using a database-only read. Records may include accommodation other than conventional hotels, and multiple records may refer to the same physical property. We did not independently deduplicate addresses, inspect hotels, test photo accuracy or measure prices. City-boundary conventions and catalogue coverage differ. This snapshot is not automatically refreshed and should not be interpreted as a current inventory promise.
