Through the filter

We read reviews on Hostelworld, Booking.com, and Google Maps and flag two things right on the cards: bed-bug reports, and reviews that read bought or incentivized. The bed-bug detector is the Punk AI Language Model, a small in-house classifier.

No bed bug reports found in Canada
Article Climbing Hostels: Crag Bases, Real Walls, and Pool Toys Climbing hostels sorted from guest reviews — crag bases, serious walls, and pool-side gimmicks.
