What a review score is actually made of

Two hotels with nearly identical scores can be measured on completely different platform baskets, on reviews of different ages, from different guest mixes. The blended number hides all three. Comparing fairly means comparing per platform and per segment, and saying so when the gap is smaller than the noise.

This guide is short on purpose — it grows as the reputation research does, rather than being padded with articles that are really about something else.
