How to read this page
Inside Airbnb does not publish a calendar of past bookings. The most robust way to read seasons in these files is to count reviews per month: a review follows a stay, usually within days. The index therefore describes how stays spread across the year, with a slight lag, and not the level of rates.
Two full years are added together to smooth out the effect of any one-off event. The index does not say how many nights are booked in a given month, but what share of yearly activity falls in that month.
