Does a higher price mean a better hotel?

Mostly yes, but the relationship is logarithmic. Rating doesn't rise with price, it rises with every doubling of price: going from $100 to $200 buys you about as much extra quality as going from $400 to $800. On raw dollars the correlation is ~0; on log price it's 0.41.

Median rating by nightly price

Even $50 price bins, median rating per bin. The curve flattens fast: most of the quality gain happens before ~$400. Hover a bar for the hotel count and the middle-50% rating range, which stays wide in every bin, so price predicts the typical hotel, not any specific one.

Region definitions

Primary regions come from Nomads.com's continent mapping, minus the catch-all 'Asia' card (split into South East / East / South / Central Asia below). Other sub-regions (Southern Europe, Western Europe, Caribbean) are overlaid on top of their parent — a country appears in both its parent and its sub-region card, so sub-region totals don't subtract from the parent.
