The Five Pillars

How we read a homestay.

Every property is scored across five dimensions distilled from thousands of guest reviews. No single pillar tells the whole story - together they do.

Shelter

Rooms, cleanliness, warmth, and how well the place is actually kept.

Water

Hot water reliability, supply, and plumbing that works when you need it.

Hearth

Food, hospitality, and the warmth of your hosts.

Path

Road access and the last-mile - arriving with luggage in hand.

View

What you actually see from your window at first light.

The Process

Discover, read, score.

A rolling window of the last 24 months of guest reviews, capped at 500 per property. Fresh signal, no marketing noise.
