Hey, very good idea and nice execution. I like that it finds my location, even without asking or requesting permission. Extra points for having a track prices option. I have a couple of suggestions/recommendations if I may: - Put a Bortle filter so that hotels on specific (dark) areas can be selected. I understand this is a bit difficult but it would make an even better filtering option. - Localize it, give us an option to see prices in different/local currency. Currently it's only visible in USD. - I can see the Affiliate ID from Booking, perhaps it would be better to mention this somewhere to avoid complaints from users. - Perhaps add a popup/permission notification for accessing location (see previous point as well). - Put an info/about page so that you can give more info and also take some credit for your work.

> - Perhaps add a popup/permission notification for accessing location (see previous point as well). Is the site using the location from the browser or just IP location? (My location was 240Km (150 miles) away from my home.) I want to suggest also permalinks.

  Probably just IP location given that it doesn't ask for any location access (unless you click on the button to center the map around your position)

  My ISP connects to the greater internet in minneapolis even though I'm in iowa, and that's where the map centered on for me initially. Usually means they are just doing geo off the IP.

  It must be IP because the browser can't access GeoLocation without asking.

  Guess what, literally every web site you visit can do this based on IP geolocation. If you're really concerned about this, use a VPN.

    Then why do websites ever ask for location permission?
