In total, 32 hotels which are spread all over the globe will be presented with the HolidayCheck Gold Award.

“The winners of the newly initiated HolidayCheck Gold Award managed to excite holidaymakers through the years with their permanent high quality standard”, said Georg Ziegler, Director Content at HolidayCheck, adding that the hotels’ ability to understand their guests’ needs and to perfectly meet them, deserves an additional prize.

“The Gold Award serves as especially valuable information for other travelers – in these hotels they can absolutely be sure to make a good choice for the greatest time of the year”, Ziegler said.

HolidayCheck Award process
There are strict rules in place for presenting the Award: to even come into consideration for this sought-after accolade, a hotel must have collected at least 50 reviews from its guests during a period of twelve months (December 1, 2015, until November 30, 2016). In addition, the accommodations must have been recommended by at least 90% of its former guests.

Another tough hurdle that the hotels have to face are the HolidayCheck “Suns”, which holidaymakers use when reviewing hotel details like the room, location, surroundings, service, and restaurant facilities. The scale ranges from a minimum of 1 (poor) to a maximum of 6 (very good); potential Award hotels must have achieved at least 5 “Suns”.
