## Overall Validation Results

### Tested: 4 properties (20% of next 20)

**Accuracy Score: 75%**

| Result | Count | Percentage |
|--------|-------|------------|
| ✅ Exact Match | 3 | 75% |
| ⚠️ Missing Data | 1 | 25% |
| ❌ Incorrect Data | 0 | 0% |

### What's Working ✅

1. **Availability Detection** - 100% accurate (sold out vs available)
2. **Price Accuracy** - Matches live data within RON 0.50
3. **Sold Out Detection** - Correctly identifies unavailable properties
4. **Most Room Counts** - Majority match correctly

### What Needs Improvement ⚠️

1. **Room Extraction Completeness**
   - Some properties missing 1-2 room types
   - Issue: Scraper might timeout or fail to extract all rooms
   - Impact: Underreporting room availability

2. **Possible Causes**
   - JavaScript extraction regex not catching all room formats
   - Some rooms in different HTML sections
   - Timeout during page load (missing late-loading rooms)
   - Different room layouts on different properties

## Recommendations

### Immediate Actions

1. **Test the specific failing property:**
   ```bash
   php refetch_single_hotel.php 431651 2025-11-09 2025-11-11 2 2
   ```

2. **Check the saved HTML response:**
   ```bash
   # View the response file for this hotel
   cat responses/hotel_431651_checkin_2025-11-09_checkout_2025-11-11_pers_2.json
   ```

3. **Review extraction logs:**
   ```bash
   grep "431651" logs2/parallel_scraper_*.log | grep -E "Parsed|room"
   ```

### Long-term Improvements

1. **Enhanced Room Extraction**
   - Review regex patterns for room extraction
   - Add fallback methods for different HTML structures
   - Increase page load wait time for slow-loading properties

2. **Validation System**
   - Automated comparison: scraped data vs live Booking.com
   - Alert when room count discrepancies detected
   - Flag properties for manual review

3. **Re-fetch Failed Properties**
   - Automatically re-fetch properties with 0 rooms but available status
   - Retry logic for properties with suspected incomplete data

## Next Steps

1. ✅ Re-fetch All button - Working (re-fetches all 187 properties for date)
2. ✅ Booking.com links - Working (with fallback)
3. ⚠️ **Investigate Taxi Hostel** - Why 7 instead of 9 rooms?
4. ⚠️ **Spot check more properties** - Determine if this is systematic or isolated

## Database Query Used

```sql
-- Get next 20 properties
SELECT id, name, link, price_per_stay, total_rooms, is_sold_out 
FROM properties 
WHERE checkin = '2025-11-09' AND checkout = '2025-11-11' 
  AND DATE(query_date) = CURDATE() 
ORDER BY id 
LIMIT 20 OFFSET 5;

-- Check room details
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT room_name), COUNT(*) 
FROM room_details 
WHERE hotel_id = '431651' 
  AND checkin = '2025-11-09' 
  AND checkout = '2025-11-11' 
  AND DATE(query_date) = CURDATE();
```

## Conclusion

**Overall Data Quality: Good (75% exact match)**

- ✅ Availability tracking is 100% accurate
- ✅ Pricing data is accurate
- ✅ Most room counts match
- ⚠️ 25% of tested properties have incomplete room data (missing 1-2 rooms)

**Action Required:**
- Investigate room extraction logic
