The total number of guest nights in the last quarter (Q4) of 2025 increased by 10.9 percent compared with the same quarter of 2024, and by 30.2 percent compared with the last quarter of 2023. 

 Looking at the whole of 2025, guests spent a total of 951.6 million nights in short-stay accommodations booked online, indicating a 11.4 percent increase compared with 2024 and a 32.4 percent jump from 2023. 

 This information comes from monthly data on short-stay accommodation offered via online platforms. Eurostat recently published the data for the fourth quarter of 2025 at the national level and for the third quarter of 2025 at the regional level. 

While the EU recorded year-on-year growth of 10.9 percent in guest nights spent in Q4 2025, the pace varied across countries. Malta again posted the sharpest increase (+37.5 percent), followed by Cyprus (+30.1 percent) and Slovakia (+26.3 percent).

Double-digit growth was also recorded in Czechia (+18.1 percent), Romania (+17.7 percent), Ireland and Luxembourg (both +17.6 percent), Poland (+16.9 percent), Hungary (+15.6 percent), Slovenia (+14.8 percent), Lithuania and Germany (both +14.7 percent), Finland (+14 percent) and Latvia (+13.9 percent).

All EU Member States reported increases compared with Q4 2024. The broad-based nature of these gains underlines a strong and sustained expansion in short-stay accommodation across the EU, although the relative pace still differed between destinations.

The most popular regions for short-term rental accommodation booked via online platforms in the third quarter of 2025 were Jadranska Hrvatska (27.7 million nights) in Croatia, followed by Andalucia (19.5 million) in Spain, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (16.9 million) in France. 

 The 20 most popular tourist regions were all located in just six EU countries: six in France, five in Spain, four in Italy, three in Greece, and one in Portugal and Croatia.
