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 Japan
Article Best Social Hostels: The Ones Where Guests Wrote a Story Instead of a Star Rating The host who stayed through your stitches, the bacon sandwiches, the guy who loves Ricky Martin — hostels people write stories about.
