# Stays and dining evaluation

## Hotel score

| Factor | Weight |
| --- | ---: |
| Location for this route | 30% |
| Room and property quality | 20% |
| Total price and included value | 20% |
| Match to desired trip feel | 15% |
| Cancellation flexibility | 10% |
| Practical drawbacks | 5% |

Use the score to discipline judgment, not replace it. State why a lower-scoring property may fit a specific priority better.

## Dining evidence

Prioritize current official sites, current booking pages, local editorial sources, and recent reviews with concrete details. Check opening days against the itinerary. Distinguish verified dietary procedures from menu labels or reviewer anecdotes. Provide cost ranges with alcohol, tax, service, and gratuity assumptions.
