Auckland, 9 June 2015 – Thanks to reviews written by guests who have actually stayed in the properties, Hotels.com® has introduced a new program to recognise hotels that have achieved excellent to outstanding guest review ratings from customers around the world.

In the first phase of the program, Hotels.com has identified more than 6,400 boutique properties in 117 countries that have achieved an average guest review rating of 4.5 or higher* (out of 5). To determine the initial recipients, Hotels.com analysed its database of more than 15 million Genuine Guest Reviews, which are verified upon the completion of each guest’s stay.

“Our accommodation partners are invaluable assets to Hotels.com and we’re committed to recognising their hard work and dedication to provide guests with the best possible experience,” said Abhiram Chowdhry, Vice President and Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Hotels.com. “This program is also a testament to our customers who’ve contributed to the more than 15 million guest reviews that determined these top-performing properties.”

New Zealand garnered 84 awards with Queenstown coming out on top, securing ten awards, including two properties, Villa Del Lago and The Dairy Private Luxury Hotel, achieving a perfect score of five out five.

The USA received the most awards globally with 1,005, while the UK (730), Italy (701) and Canada (351) filled out the top four.
