That's exactly the point A more expensive hotel should have a much higher rating that matches the increase in cost but none of them do, often worse ratings
One big issue with this analysis: People take the price into account when leaving their rating. An 8 at a motel is quite different than an 8 at a $3k/night ultra-luxury resort. So I don't think the metric of rating points per dollar has any meaning.

Agreed, and I can prove that luxury hotels are mathematically literally very bad value For the amount of "more" money you pay for this luxury, you should be getting way way way more than you actually get (as measured by ratings) Aman should have an average rating of 9.5 but in reality barely hits an 8 on average, so they simply cannot produce the "luxury" experiences they are trying to market and brand themselves for It's essentially all smoke and mirrors, and reflects my experiences completely, you pay 10x more and get either 0.5x-1.5x more (eg many times 2x worse, sometimes a bit better) not 10x better! Other luxury chains are slightly better but none of them even get close to a 9 rating with the famous Ritz-Carlton being especially bad: its average rating is a 7.68 for a median price of $549/night, terrible! Real value can be found with Okura, Minor, Melia and even Marriott. Okura is interesting because well known as luxurious but median only $143/night So as I always say, luxury is mostly a scam, it doesn't exist and you're best off spending much less for much better value (and often better experiences too) Source: my new site stats page http://hotelist.com/stats
I’m a travel snob and used to stay at these hotels. But prices have become absurd—often $3k/night for a basic room. What’s worse, these resorts insulate you from the place you’re visiting. Find a locally-owned boutique and save your money for experiences outside the property.

View quoted postI now use my new site http://Hotelist.com to find hotels when I travel and I quickly realized smaller privately owned boutique hotels are generally a way better experience than big hotel chains Chains have to pay franchise fees and there's no responsibility when something goes wrong, the hotel owner doesn't really care because they just paid for the chain name/logo so it's their responsibility, while the actual chain also doesn't care because they have so many hotels, why would they? Having an issue in a small boutique hotel is an actual issue for a hotel owner because they actually care about their product, it's their life's work usually Also since they don't pay a franchise fee (which adds up to a lot), you get more value for your $$$ So I've added a Boutique hotel filter, so you can find those independently owned hotels and have better stays! And support local business too 😊

Opening a window is a nice idea but these days (?) almost everywhere is loud and you'll wake up from stuff to also slowly destroy your sleep Most people also sleep WAY too hot around 23°C/73°F but don't realize it, because that's a good temperature for a living room in the day, but way too hot for good sleep. Most studies show the ideal bedroom temperature is around 15-18°C / 59-65°F. Above that your body will not enter deep sleep meaning 8 hours of sleep in a hot bedeoom might just be 5 hours of actual sleep (I see people from warm countries consistently not accept this, so my rebuttal is: if you sleep so well, why is your GDP so low). The fix is installing a powerful AC, not blasting it in your direction (that's bad for your nose), and cleaning it re...
🌡️ Update: 100% sleep score with bathroom fan on to keep CO2 low It sucks CO2 out of the room and creates a low pressure field that brings in new fresh air from outside the room Last time 100% sleep was in an Airbnb in Brazil we stayed which was a house built in 1970s mostly

A guy jokingly tweeted “olaf scholz you bastard what the hell is this” in frustration because Fortnite was stuck at 3% download. As a result, German authorities investigated him for committing a criminal offence (insulting a politician, §188 StGB) and forced him to delete it.

In a way I think the top tech companies have just vacuumed up all the top talent worldwide for such great salaries + equity (for $500K to millions $ per year) And the top tech companies also have built such a great talent acquisition funnel that everyone else in the world who isn't working for top tech is either 1) already rich and retired, 2) a founder already or 3) just not good enough

No I don't think so People travel to experience other cultures, but if the place you travel to isn't that culture anymore then what are you traveling to? Globalism is good and I don't like nationalism, but I do like preserving cultures So for a neigborhood (or city) to be healthy it needs mostly locals, some foreigners, some tourists That's a healthy mix
@levelsio “Majority locals”: is this a pro nationalist and anti-globalization argument?

Another thing I learnt is I always hated tourist areas for good reason, especially after living in Amsterdam for almost a decade as a Dutch person and we'd generally avoid the center because it was such a tourist dump, and very few things that the foreigners there did had much to do with the things we as Dutch people did which presumably is what they came here for, Dutch culture right? Realizing that's the same in most countries I liked to travel and try find the somewhat local areas outside the tourist zones, I just wanted to live like a local (as pretentious as that sounds) 10 years ago that was fun and I still try to! What I never realized that yes the tourist areas are a net negative and as you see in the Europe of 2026, they easily turn into unliveable areas of criminals, junkies, drug cartels and generally low-lifes you don't wanna be near Why? Because if a neighborhood slowly becomes only tourists and not locals, the businesses change to only cater for tourists, the quality goes down because tourists are transient and businesses won't care if their customers have a bad experience, they have a fresh supply of tourists on Thursday and Friday they can rip off Essentially the soul of a city dies in tourist districts, and with it any care and love to maintain the area's upkeep, and then you get shady people setting up shop there It's a rotten ecosystem of tourists who think they are experiencing something local while not and the lowest tier bottom feeders of society preying on them to make money by ripping them off or as you see now just robbing them, it's a net negative A good neighborhood is a healthy mix of majority locals, some foreigners and some tourists, once that % goes off balance, things go to shit fast as you can see in parts of Barcelona and other European cities How to enforce that though I am not sure either One thing I know is that the hipster (I guess now called trendy/artsy/cool, yellow on Hoodmaps) areas are usually a nice balance of tha...

View quoted postDepending how you measure the crime area in Barcelona's center is even bigger though, but it's more pickpocketing in the Gothic Quarter than violent crime, but still... What you see is European cities are starting to mirror cities in the United States now: ask any American and of course you avoid the downtown, it's always crime, drugs and poverty Historically this was NOT the case in Europe! Downtown areas in European capitals were historical and beautiful, now they're overrun by crime and starting to be no-go zones

The crime data is quite granular and I added it to most cities on Hoodmaps Nice if you're planning a trip or walking around a city, you can open it on your phone, it gets your GPS and you see where not to go

The biggest alpha leak of 2026 is that you can tokenmax $10k/mo with OpenClaw/Hermes + GBrain and get the AI that everyone will have in 2028 for $100/mo, but you can get it now, and that is the biggest single unlock you can have vs your competition
