Booking dot com ahead of the game

Some important changes on BDC in the past couple of days.

You can now order search results by cleanliness:

Once you view a listing the various measures you carry out in the way of safety and cleaning are now listed:

When you click the link at the bottom, you then get full details:

While Airbnb has been busy issuing guides about how to clean, how not to be a racist etc, BDC have went away and done something that actually benefits hosts.

Good hosts. I imagine if there were a booking dot com hosts forum they will be complaining now about how unfair the cleanliness ratings are?

Good point, and if a host starts bitching about a feature like this, then you really want to know their listing, just so you can avoid it.

My default position on this forum is that all hosts are “good hosts”, until proved/shown to be otherwise.

I always choose highly ranked Airbnbs (I don’t use BDC yet) and have yet to get a bad one. But I read the defenses here of lower rankings. I wish Airbnb would let me search by ranking.

Which destination is this in your search please? How can there be any reviews on those parameters already or they leave the old with the new upgrades we had to choose. Mines (mine’s), Eastern Europe don’t show this option or I am missing something.

Destination is irrelevant, it is BDC globally.

Yes it does, therefore I’d say you’re missing something.

Sorry, what is BC globally, I have English (UK) set, same the currency. Tried Texas, tried everything I don’t see it. But, don’t want to insist, just, that is quite important info for me. Thanks.

That’s a shame, maybe you should complain.

Never complain, never explain, but will research and ask. Thank you for sharing and your answers.

Perhaps they are testing it out in limited markets? Or, if you always see it then they could have linked the feature to profiles …
