Question 2

What is The Velvet Room's Trust Rating based on?

Accepted Answer

The Velvet Room has a Trust Rating of 66/100 and a Current Pulse of 68/100.

Current Pulse works differently — it applies a Bayesian adjustment that pulls properties with few recent reviews toward a neutral baseline rather than letting one or two ratings swing the score, then compares that adjusted figure to the previous snapshot to show whether The Velvet Room is trending up or down right now, independent of its long-term Trust Rating.
