Same hotels. Different order.
Flip the ranking and the list rearranges. The platform pushes gloss to the top; with us, what real guests confirmed rises instead.
What the Reality Index is built from
Four signals that are hard to game. Each is visible on the hotel card — we don’t hide the formula.
Guest reviews
The score and volume of reviews from real guests. Few reviews — too early to judge, and we flag that honestly.
Live photos
Shots from guests, not from a press kit. Real confirmations — a higher index.
Rating evenness
How stable the category scores are. A dip in one is a reason to look closer.
Review tone
The emotional colour of what people write. A warm tone is a good sign.
