1. Which three things does the guide say a good lodging comparison weighs?
   • Star rating, brand loyalty and room size
   • Photos, amenities list and check-in time
   • Total cost, the quality signal in reviews, and location fit
   • Host response time, decor and view
2. What does the guide say a US Federal Trade Commission rule aimed at hidden lodging fees requires sellers to do?
   • Show the total price upfront
   • Ban all cleaning fees
   • Cap resort fees at a fixed amount
   • Refund any booking cancelled within 48 hours

   • Paste checkout breakdowns into the chat
   • Ask for totals per night and per stay
   • Ask the AI to list its assumptions
   • Ask the AI to guess fees it cannot see
4. Why might a property rated 4.3 suit you better than one rated 4.7, according to the guide?
   • Lower ratings always mean lower prices
   • The 4.3 may have consistent complaints about one fixable issue, while the 4.7 has scattered serious problems
   • Higher-rated properties are usually fake
   • Ratings above 4.5 are not allowed on major platforms
5. What does the guide describe as the classic vacation rental scam pattern?
   • A listing with too many reviews
   • A host who replies too quickly
   • Stolen photos, an unusually low price, and pressure to pay by wire transfer, gift cards or an outside link
   • A listing that charges a cleaning fee
6. Why does the guide suggest asking the AI to quote the specific review lines behind each conclusion?
   • So you can check its conclusions against the original reviews
   • So the summary is longer and more detailed
   • So the platform can verify the reviewer
   • So the AI can translate the reviews
7. Which review pattern does the technical section call a common sign of manipulation?
   • Long reviews that mention both pros and cons
   • Reviews written in several languages
   • Reviews that include photos from guests
   • Clusters of short, similar five-star reviews posted close together
8. Why does the guide say a nonrefundable rate can be a false saving?
   • Nonrefundable rates always include hidden taxes
   • If your plans are uncertain, you may lose the whole amount
   • Nonrefundable bookings cannot earn reviews
   • Hotels give nonrefundable guests the worst rooms
