Hotel Rating Trick: Upside Down Sticker Sparks Decimal Debate

A hotel flipped its Booking.com rating sticker upside down, turning an 8.6 into a seemingly stellar 9.8—or even a mysterious 86, depending on who’s looking. What began as a quirky detail spiraled into a lively discussion about cultural decimal notation, clever marketing, and whether this move is cheeky genius or outright deception. Curious reactions range from admiration for the ploy to debates about fairness, as users share laughs, frustrations, and global perspectives on dots vs. commas.
