Guides
The platform pages, actually read.
Six of them. Three read what Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com actually say about your photos, quoted with the date I checked. Two dig into the photos themselves: why rooms come out dark, and where AI editing crosses a line. The last one is the set that started the app: 1,468 frames from a friend's three-day shoot of seven Phi Phi resorts. Pick whichever matches the mess you're in.
