Airbnb deletes negative reviews so everything is always 4.7
Google Maps removes negative reviews in many countries as defamation so everything is always a 4.7
Booking sites want you to book so will also happily remove negative reviews for their hotels so everything is always a 4.7
I made a site called https://t.co/4p4dzTDVN6 (or https://t.co/A1nzVE5AlD whatever you prefer, I have both!)
It gets ratings from all booking platforms, normalizes them to show the actual score (eg a booking site where most hotels are always between 4 and 4.7 means you can normalize that to a 0 and 5)
It also uses AI vision models to rate hotels based on how they look
And it browses the internet for actual experiences (think blogs and Reddit posts) to get the real opinion about them outside reviews
And it's starting to work, I just stayed in this beautiful boutique apartment hotel called Woo Suites in Athens for $400/night. Clean, nice minimalist interior, working cold AC, central, excellent staff, great healthy breakfast, and we found it through Hotelist!
It's free, I don't make any money on it (actually I lose thousands per month on it to collect data via APIs and web scrapers) and there's no affiliate money bs like other booking sites (they will increase ranking of hotels if they pay sites a higher commission!)

Tell your friends please!!!!!! 🙏
@ErezDorado I’m with you.
I’m building strava, but for more life intentions than just becoming a runner, biker, swimmer.
Like what you’ve done.

It’s great for small business teams too - might start with that to get revenue for the social network.

What was your first startup?
Mine was a mobile app for monochrome Palm Pilots in 2002 that allowed cosmetologists to manage their clientele and history or haircuts on their mobile device (way before iPhone was invented) then sync with a wired cradle for reports on desktop. It was actually sweet, and had a lot of demand, but I was 20 and didn’t do what it would have taken to make it stick.
@cybrtrkguy Not yet, but it's only a matter of time. I've had two days with it and have had zero interventions - went through construction, hit brakes to avoid accident, swerved around towel in road, etc. that were all very impressive over v13.
Let’s Earn It will have a small teams edition that will enable project management (mobile & web) with the benefits of a native social feed of activities completed by everyone on the team (inspiration, encouragement, accountability).
Let’s Earn It… together.
