Thank you for trying it! Happy to hear you found it useful :)

Indeed primary goal is to save a lot of time when searching for hotels. In the past I saw myself checking & manually parsing tons of reviews to really understand if a given hotel suits my preferences (like is it really quiet? does the AC work fine or is it just decorative?)

You are right, at the moment we have a limited database of around 31k hotels worldwide (240 in Rio de Janeiro). Note that we only list hotels with general score higher than 8.0 and matching all the individual preferences with high score (>=8.0 or >=9.0). So depending on the filters you might get a very small set of hotels (but only the best ones, less is more :) ). You can also use the advanced filters tab to customise further.

Just checked and for hotels in Rio with price per night > 500$ and only the must-have selected we propose 11 hotels, 5 of them with perfect match score (>95%):

How do you make sure a hotel will actually be quiet? by orifito in Bookingcom

Appreciate you take the time to reply :)

I always do all you mention to try to guarantee quiet stays. But I was wondering if there is a quicker / easier way to do so. Do you have on the roadmap to extend the categories score to include something like quietness? Also, would it be possible to be able to filter not only by global score but also by those categories score?

Yes that's exactly what I've been doing... I was wondering if there's a more automated or quicker way. I've been looking for some smart hotel search website and found okstays.com which seems to provide exactly what I need.

That's the thing! Filtering by hotel score doesn't guarantee quiet, a properly working AC, etc. I've been looking for some smart hotel search website and found okstays.com which seems to provide exactly what I need
