Review signal lab

HostelPunk

some bloke ivan got sick of reading reviews so he made this legend of an app

We chew through review noise so you can spot the social ones, the sketchy ones, and the weirdly fake ones.

  • Vibe mathSocial fun from review signals, not brochure stars
  • Bug radarLast-30-day reports count loudest
  • Language mixReview languages vs city baseline
  • Sus filterPlant reviews and astroturf get sniffed out
