Guest Favorite Tag = Quick Decision-Making
A badge on the card helps users instantly identify high-rated, reliable listings, reducing cognitive load and supporting quicker decisions without needing to dive into every detail page.

Realistic 3D Icons for Navigation Boost Engagement
The use of isometric, realistic icons adds a friendly, tactile visual appeal. It gives the app a more polished and delightful look without overwhelming the interface.

Clarification Tag Removes Mental Friction
A small yet powerful tag, "Prices include all fees" eliminates hidden-cost anxiety, one of the biggest frustrations in travel platforms.

Search Bar Is the Real Hero
Placed right at the top, the minimal and prominent search bar reflects a deep understanding of user behavior, since search is the primary action users want to take.

Total Price Over Price/Night
Showing the total price for the stay instead of “per night” means users don’t have to do math, which creates a smoother, more intuitive booking experience.
