Раньше был Букинг для аренды отелей, а теперь Островок и похожие сервисы. И там везде есть рейтинг от 0 до 10. Как я понимаю, на рейтинг сильно смотрят, когда принимают решение, какой отель взять. Ну я вот точно смотрю.
По пути туда в Петрозаводске мы останавливались в Piter Inn — крутой топовый отель за много денег. У него был ожидаемо высокий рейтинг, и он этот рейтинг оправдывает.
По пути обратно мы, как вы знаете, остановились нештатно. Крутые отели были заняты, и пришлось взять дешёвый. Он был ожидаемо убогонький по обстановке и оснащению, с низким рейтингом.
Однако, персонал в последнем отеле общался с нами очень вежливо и выполнил нестандартные просьбы, бельё было чистое, вообще никаких претензий у нас не возникло.
И я вот подумал: в рамках своей цены дешёвый отель тоже себя полностью оправдывает. Он просто существует в другом классе — дешёвые номера, чтобы быстро переночевать. Но внутри своего класса он справляется хорошо. Должен ли у него быть ниже рейтинг?
С одной стороны вроде да, ведь рейтинг используется для сравнения отелей между собой, и дешёвый точно проигрывает дорогому по всем параметрам, кроме цены. С другой стороны, если у нас рейтинговая шкала абсолютная, то как вообще награждать и продвигать хорошие вещи в более дешёвых классах? Тогда 9-10 будет только у супер дорогих, а что-то попроще — даже образцовое — упрется в потолок. В такси же в экономе у водителя может быть 5 звёзд, если машина чистая, а сам он аккуратно водит.

Trump Establishes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Former President Trump has signed an order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S., based on approximately 200,000 BTC confiscated by the government. This reserve will serve as a savings asset, not intended for sale, acting as a digital Fort Knox. Meanwhile, analysts indicate that governments may follow the U.S. lead, reducing the likelihood of Bitcoin bans from regulators. Post-announcement, Bitcoin saw a price drop from $91,000 to $85,000 but has since recovered to $88,000. No altcoins are currently included in the reserve plans. Full details here: Reuters
