# Finding the Best Place to Stay with Price per Review from Booking.com
**Discover** the **ideal accommodation** with a **Price/Review** analyzer for Booking.com using **web-scraping** technology through an intuitive **web-app**.
This application helps you identify the best value accommodations in your desired destination by calculating a **Price/Review Score** for each property available during your specified travel dates.
A **lower Price/Review Score** represents exceptional value—a property that offers **high-quality experiences** (as reflected in its reviews) at a **reasonable price point**.
