What these numbers are, and what they are not
Each hotel sits in an area by the address its booking partner publishes, and every figure comes from the same reading that fills the rate on the hotel page: the nightly rate, the guest score and the review count. Rates move with season, demand and length of stay, so read them as a starting point rather than the price of a stay.
What you will not find here is a line about how an area feels. We can read what a room costs and how guests scored it, so we rank on that. We cannot read whether a street is quiet after dark, so we do not put a sentence about it next to numbers that were actually measured.
