I find it hard to see the advantage of scraping reviews versus just looking at the actual score.

Score is rigged, description does not match reality, negative reviews are deleted.
AI is perfect to answer questions like:
- is there a big table on pictures (proper workspace)
- is there a direct sea view
- any mentions of drain issues...

Only if you know what to ask.
You'll miss all the things you didn't ask about -- good and bad.

I find that the only thing that works with Airnbnb is just to read all the reviews after excluding anything that isn't close to a 5.0 rating. Some kinds of negative comments in reviews can safely be ignored (e.g. the people who rented an apartment in the middle of downtown and were surprised that it's noisy), but almost any substantial negative comment in any review should be a red flag, no matter how many positive reviews there are.
