Same link text goes to different places
Why it matters
If two links say "Details" but go to different pages, people who navigate by link list cannot tell which is which.
How to fix it
Make the text unique, or add hidden context that differs. If they genuinely go to the same place, use the same address.
<a href="/rooms/single/">Single room details</a>
<a href="/rooms/double/">Double room details</a>Read the W3C guidance: Understanding 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context).
