UK Short-Let Guest Nights Surpass 100 Million in 2025

Demand for short-let accommodation in the UK increased in 2025, with guest nights booked through online platforms exceeding 100 million, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The total number of guest nights reached 100,911,620 last year, representing an 11.5% rise compared to the 90,507,070 guest nights recorded between January and December 2024.

Landlords operating short-let accommodation experienced growth in demand across every UK country and English region during 2025. The data highlights the continued popularity of short-term rentals booked via online platforms.

These figures may be of particular interest to letting agents and inventory clerks, as the increase in short-let bookings could impact property management workloads and inventory requirements across the sector.
