@Steven65 To me that doesn't make it invalid, but it makes it useless. What one person considers a great location, because it's quiet, and remote, another will think is terrible because they were far from shopping.
Of course guests want to see some information on how other guests found the location, it's just that star rating it makes no sense, as it's so subjective. Far better for a guest to be prompted somewhere in the review process to write a couple lines about the location.Then it would be clear why they liked it or not.
If a host is unclear or misleading in their listing description about the location, that would fall under "Accuracy". We should only be rated on things we can actually address- like cleanliness, accuracy, communication. Location and Value are too subjective. What's fantastic for some is bad for others.
BTW, I'm very clear in my description as to the location and area of my place, how long a walk to downtown, etc. and I reinterate that in a message to the guest when they book. The only time I've gotten a 4* location rating was from a guest who specifically asked me how far my place was from where she was going to be taking a course. Which I answered accurately. She chose to book anyway, then didn't like that she had to walk the 20 minutes which I had told her clearly it required. Was that somehow my fault?
