How a hotel gets on the list

Solid evidence only

Rated by three or more of Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Google and Agoda, with a narrow margin. 21,366 hotels qualify this year.

Our score, not theirs

Every platform is rescaled against its own floor and weighed with a photo score and a reading of review text. How the score works.

Nobody pays

No hotel can buy a place, a category or a better score. The list recomputes whenever the scores do; this edition is dated 2 Oct 2026.

Winners may say so

Any hotel on the list may display its badge free of charge. Each winner's row links to its badge and the code to embed it.
