I'm currently learning this selenium beginners course. In booking.com based on the tutorial, you can find the id of the element but now that the tutorial was posted several months ago perhaps the web developer made some changes and all I can find now is this line of code and the class="_962ef834c cbe47aa30e" is same as those other filter options too I find that not unique

<div data-filters-group="class" class="_962ef834c cbe47aa30e">

here's what I did

    def apply_star_rating(self):
    star_filtration_box = self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector(
        'div[data - filters - group = "class"]'
    )

You are using this css

div[data - filters - group = "class"]

you have extra spaces with -

Please try this CSS :

div[data-filters-group='class']

or XPath

//div[@data-filters-group='class']

Please check in the dev tools (Google chrome) if we have unique entry in HTML DOM or not.

Steps to check:

Press F12 in Chrome -> go to element section -> do a CTRL + F -> then paste the css/xpath and see, if your desired element is getting highlighted with 1/1 matching node.

Try the below XPath to see if at least the first of the filter fields get highlighted.

//*[@div data-filters-group="class"][1]
