hotel.info, the free online hotel reservation service with over 210,000 hotels worldwide, has investigated just how satisfied the customers who have used it to book rooms have been with the service provided by the hotel.
On the basis of over one million hotel ratings, hotel.info specifically analysed the value-for-money assessments submitted for 3 and 4 star hotels in order to calculate the guest satisfaction. Warini Munshi, Managing Director of hotel.info Ltd explains, “In contrast to a ranking based purely on price, which a range of portals already offer, we have concentrated on analysing the qualitative aspects of the hotels. After all, hotel guests do not use price alone to rate establishments – they want a high level of quality too.”
Here are the results of the analysis:
– International: Lisbon in top position, followed by Tokyo. European cities dominate the rankings.
– United Kingdom: Scottish hotels can compete on value for money, Belfast also appears in the ranking.

In the UK, hotel.info customers were particularly happy with the value for money offered by hotels in Bournemouth, which retained its top spot. However, hotels from other parts of the UK also provide good service at fair prices, not just those in England, as can be seen by the good ratings awarded by hotel guests to Glasgow (Scotland) and Belfast (Northern Ireland). The favourite tourist centre, London, only managed 14th position in the rankings. Hotel guests assessed the value for money offered by establishments in Oxford even more critically. With a rating of 5.65, the city was ranked far below the average UK rating of 6.64.
Guests are invited to assess the hotel that they have booked through hotel.info on a scale of 0 to 10 after they have checked out. Criteria such as room quality and staff friendliness can be judged in addition to the perceived value for money.
