Thanks, counted. Your vote moves the rating at the next update.
You already voted on that one. One vote per detail every 30 days keeps the ratings fair.
Each line is one specific claim about this hotel. Agree or disagree: every vote moves the rating from 0 to 100, and older votes count for less. A number appears only when the hotel's own website (or its brand standard) backs a claim, or once 5 people have voted; ratings from votes alone are marked Early until 20 votes. No reviews, no text. Ratings never change the score.
