Such uneccessary waste of time.. all they could do is just optimize a bit.
My math:
:D = 10 = 8 - 10
:) = 7.5 = 6 - 8
:| = 5,0 = 4 - 6
:( = 2,5 = 1 - 3 (but most of them will probably score 1)
Is it really better? Perhaps "fairer" yes.
As I stated before it wasn’t really the emoji problem. The main reason was 7,5 score that hosts felt was unjust / too low. But took 10s for granted.
The fact is that with new system we’ll receive more 8s and 9s instead of 10s (also in categories).
I quite believe that once the categories will be changed to 1 - 10 the scores will be lower comparing to emojis, specially for the properties that in general receive top scores. Those 10s that you all received with emojis, with the new system would most likely be rated 8 - 10. Just another indicator why emojis perform better.
Also your overall score is 9,6. Why did you want to change it in the first place? Obviously the old system was working in your favour.
The subcategories are also going to be scored from 1 - 10 (so they say), which I think it will bring more "lower" scores comparing to emojis.
We must take into consideration that those 10s were given with the emoji system. Meaning if subcategories would be set to 1 - 10, it's more likely that some of those categories could be rated 8 - 10.
I think this is just another indicator why emojis performs better. And the reason why we should expect more 8s and 9s instead of 10s.
The old review system was changed because hosts couldn't accept the score 7,5, and felt it was too low or unjust, but took 10s for granted. That's how I saw it.
A message of apology? For what? For listening to the majority of hosts that wanted a new review system? Get of your high horse.
Oh, and I was basicly the only one defending the previous review system, when all other hosts wanted 1 - 10 system.
You need to contact your account manager or Booking.com support.
This is partner help, you must call Booking.com support.
That's really a lot of paper. Fortunately I don't require printed bookings.
Recently I was irritated by AirBnB, because they issue an invoice (for the commission) on two A4 pages for each booking . On the second page there is only one printed line, everything would easily fit in one page.. The pdf is not downloadable It's just a print option. At least Booking.com issue a monthly commission invoice. One printed paper per month basicly.
