Abstract This study has the following specific objectives: to analyse the associations between the characteristics of the accommodation, its evaluation by the customers (rating) and the price; to analyse the associations between the occupancy of the accommodation, its rating and the price. A partnership was established with a company that operates short-term accommodation, so data was collected from Airbnb, regarding all the accommodation located in two municipalities of the Algarve, having been identified 210 accommodations. As a first contribution, the results validate the existence of an association between the characteristics of the accommodation and its rating, in the following sense: accommodations of the type of villa with swimming pool, managed by Superhosts, which do not allow pets, and which require longer stays, have a higher rating. Secondly, the results validate the existence of an association between the characteristics of the accommodation and the price, in the following sense: the accommodation of the type of villa with swimming pool, with greater capacity, and which requires longer stays, charges higher prices. Thirdly, there is empirical evidence of an association between accommodation rating and occupancy. As a fourth contribution, there is empirical evidence of an association between price and occupancy.
