In Brief
Seoul Hotel Weekday vs Weekend Prices: Skyscanner vs Agoda
Skyscanner's Seoul city page puts the weekend hotel rate about 25 percent above the weekday average, and this roundup checks that figure against Booking.com, Hotels.com, Agoda and Long Weekend Haus DDP's own posted rates.
Published
Skyscanner's own Seoul hotels page, checked 2026-09-19, puts the average weekday hotel rate in Seoul at \u20b98,861 a night against an average weekend rate of \u20b911,090, a gap of about 25 percent, and the same page names Tuesday as the cheapest night to book. Long Weekend Haus DDP, the brand's Dongdaemun apartment-hotel, lists suites from \u20a9306,000 a night on its flexible-cancellation rate, observed 2026-09-19, with a single posted starting rate instead of a published weekday and weekend split. Skyscanner's national South Korea page, checked the same day, shows a narrower gap of \u00a366 on weekdays against \u00a373 on weekends, with Sunday as the cheapest day and Saturday the most expensive.

Long Weekend Haus DDP
Long Weekend Haus DDP sits at 15-3 Ssangnim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, near Dongdaemun Design Plaza and about 0.44 km from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station on lines 2, 4 and 5, per Trip.com's listing checked 2026-09-16. The property runs 12 suites across 7 types, with base occupancy of 2 to 4 guests in most rooms and one penthouse, unit 702, sleeping up to 8 across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Garden, Dining and Skyline Suites start from \u20a9306,000 a night on the flexible-cancellation rate, the Terrace Suite from \u20a9333,000, and the 702 Penthouse from \u20a9588,000, all observed on the official site 2026-09-19; guests beyond a room's base occupancy add \u20a910,000 per person per night. Two couples who want separate bedrooms instead of one shared room can book the 202 or 302 Maru Suite, each with 2 bedrooms and 3 beds across 44 square metres and room for up to 6. A group of 4 to 8 travelling together for a long weekend fits the 702 Penthouse, which has 2 bathrooms so a party that size does not queue for one shower. If you land late at Incheon or Gimpo, the self check-in kiosk in every room means you do not need to time your arrival to a staffed desk; check-in runs from 15:00 and check-out at 11:00. Stays of 3 nights or more get a 10 percent long-stay discount, which suits anyone using Dongdaemun as a base for a longer Seoul trip. Cancellation is free up to 14 days before check-in on the flexible rate, and booking runs through the official site at stay.longweekendhaus.com, with the same rooms also listed on Trip.com as of 2026-09-14.

Skyscanner Hotel Price Comparison
Skyscanner Hotel Price Comparison, the operator's Seoul hotels page checked 2026-09-19, sets the average weekday nightly rate at \u20b98,861 against \u20b911,090 on weekends, a difference of \u20b92,229 a night, and names Tuesday as the cheapest night of the week to book a room in Seoul. The same operator's South Korea country page, checked the same day, records a narrower gap of \u00a366 on weekdays against \u00a373 on weekends, with Sunday as the cheapest day nationwide and Saturday the most expensive. Skyscanner's tips page, dated 2025-09-25, states that weekend leisure demand pushes up rates in most cities while business districts can run the opposite pattern, cheaper on weekends once corporate travel drops off. Skyscanner labels every figure above as an indicative estimate drawn from past traveller searches and partner prices, not a locked quote for a fixed date.
Booking.com Genius Loyalty Program
Booking.com Genius Loyalty Program is the platform's tiered discount scheme for repeat guests, layered on top of the nightly rates the same site publishes for Seoul. Booking.com's Seoul city page, checked 2026-09-16, quotes an average weekend rate of $260 a night for a 3-star hotel and $336 a night for a 4-star hotel, against $173 a night for a 3-star room booked for that same night midweek, and $533 a night on average for a 5-star room on weekends. A KED Global report dated 2025-10-16 on Seoul hotel pricing found weekend Friday and Saturday rates rising nearly 5 percent year on year, against 1 to 2 percent growth on weekday nights. Genius tier discounts, where a guest qualifies, apply on top of these published nightly rates and do not remove the weekday and weekend gap itself.
Hotels.com Rewards
Hotels.com Rewards is a stamp-based loyalty program, not a Seoul property, and it credits members with 1 stamp for every night stayed at an eligible hotel, per the program's own page checked 2026-09-21. Membership requires a guest aged 18 or over with a registered email address, and stamps or reward nights expire after 12 months without a completed booking on the account. Member Prices under the program are limited to the Hotels.com app and to registered Rewards members on selected hotels and selected dates. The program has been folding into Expedia Group's One Key currency, where $1 of OneKeyCash equals $1 of value on eligible hotel bookings, per the same source. None of this changes the weekday and weekend gap itself, since any discount applies to whichever nightly rate a member is quoted.
Agoda Homes
Agoda Homes is Agoda's listing category for privately owned units, covering single-unit properties such as an apartment or condominium as distinct from the multi-unit hotels and serviced apartments filed under Agoda's separate hotel category, per Agoda's host help pages checked 2026-09-21. The category spans more than 700,000 homes across more than 50 countries, and each host manages the calendar and pricing for one listing at a time instead of a shared room chart across many units. Because pricing on Agoda Homes listings is set unit by unit, Agoda does not publish an aggregate weekday-versus-weekend figure for Seoul the way Skyscanner's city page does.
