Those ratings are fake anyway. You can score it a 1 (actually the lowest option is 2.5) due to nearby noise making it impossible to sleep. But they'll also ask you to rate the cleanliness, service, and location(??) and suddenly your terrible stay is a 6.0 rating.

- splonk 4y agoI rant about the 2.5-10 scale on every Booking thread. It's not totally fake but it's very deceptive. When I had access to a large amount of rating data, the median rating on Booking was 8.1. If you can filter for business travelers (not sure if the UI allows this, but the data might still be in the page), that drops down to mid 7s.
