Price Insights for Bungalow Hotel
- Lowest Price Period: Late October through mid-December and early January — many nights priced in the $188–$260 range (lowest single night $188.10 on 2026-12-06). November shows many $214 nights and October has many $237–$269 nights, so those months are the cheapest overall.
- Potential Savings: Up to ~80% between the absolute peak and the absolute low (example: 2026-08-14 at $966 vs 2026-12-06 at $188 = $778 savings, ~80%). More typical savings: summer peak nights (~$600–$700) vs November/December average (~$214–$260) yields ~$350–$450 per night (≈50–70% savings). Shifting a summer booking by a few days can save 30–50% (e.g., 2026-08-14 $966 vs 2026-08-12 $571 = $395, ~41%).
- Average Rate: Estimated average nightly rate across the provided dates ≈ $370/night. That is roughly 40–50% below summer-peak average (~$600–$650) and about 75% above the lowest off-season nights (~$188–$260).
- Booking Tip: Favor midweek stays in late Oct–Dec or early Jan for the best rates. Avoid mid-August and other summer weekends/holiday spikes. Use +/-3 day date flexibility and set price alerts. If traveling in peak season, book early (60–90 days out) and consider non‑refundable fares for lower prices; for off‑season you can often wait for last-minute deals but lock-in sub-$250 nights when they appear.
