The Roomza Report, Week of October 5

Where things stand

• Evolved. Roomza Creator. It launched in August with saved rooms and a way to add a room. This week it opened to applicants, with a rebuilt home and a way in from your trips and your reviews.
• New. Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, bookable.
• Evolved. Room scores on the hotel page. A room shows one score, the same on the hotel page as on its own page.
• Evolved. Room readings. Wi-Fi, noise, and hot water now sit in one card you can read at a glance.
• Holding steady. Exact-room booking under its own name, room checks in search, and the score filter, one week in.
• Holding steady. Myrtle Beach, the About page, the rebuilt review flow, and one room one type, two weeks in.
• Holding steady. Featured hotels rotating daily.
• Holding steady. The price check, the rate calendar, and the landmark search, four weeks in.
• Holding steady. Room cards in Claude and ChatGPT.
• Holding steady. The live booking rail, nine weeks in.

Shipped

• Roomza Creator, open. Apply, get verified, and add the rooms you stay in. Earn from bookings of the exact room you added. The Creator page is rebuilt from the ground up, and Creator now has a place in the menu and on the home page.
• Earn from your trips. Before a stay, your trip page shows how to earn from it. After checkout, it asks you to add the room you got. Post a review, and if you are not a creator yet, the thank-you screen asks you in.
• Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. Now bookable on Roomza. Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Downtown Pioneer Square is bookable again too.
• One room, one score. The best rooms on a hotel page show the same score as the room's own page. The number you see is the number you get.
• Room readings in one card. Wi-Fi speed, noise, and how fast the hot water runs sit in one card, each with a plain verdict. Open it for the detail: what the Wi-Fi is good for, where the noise falls between library and street, spot checks, the TV, and photos.
• A new screen when you post a review. A check mark, a thank-you, and one card with your score, what your review did for the room, and the guarantee. In the app, it sits clear of the phone's status bar.

Improved

• A new share image for Creator. Share the Creator page and the preview says what it is at a glance.
• Read first, sign in later. The Creator pages no longer open with a sign-in pop-up, so you can read the whole thing first.

Last week the room became the product. This week the guests who know a room best can put it on Roomza. See you next Sunday.
