How should you read Expedia’s score?
The fullest self-serve toolset of the pure OTAs, and like every OTA, silent on the loyalty your booking just voided.
A score is the floor Expedia will put its name to, what you can plan on before you book. It does not grade the execution at any one property on the night; use it to set expectations, then verify the specific location.
