Thanks for the bug report.

We have an algorithm that looks at a large number of factors (number of reviews, each reviewer's unique denotation system, number of hotels in a destination, sentiment, etc) and calculates the number.

We'll be growing, don't worry. Today is day two. :)

What do you mean?

Yeah, that's so weird! We've heard that from a few people. We're currently looking into it. Neither of us can find any history of the domain being used for anything adult or porn related. So strange.

Our designer was someone that my co-founder had worked with before. And thanks for the tip about price sorting.

We don't list any hotels with a score lower than 60, which means every hotel is a quality hotel.

Thanks for the feedback. We're definitely still working on perfecting the search, so this is helpful.

My co-founder and I actually met at a hackathon a few years ago and worked on an early version of the site. It's very exciting to finally launch!

My co-founder Andrew is a lawyer-turned-developer. I'm a former tech journalist (Laptop Mag, The Verge).
