According to TripAdvisor, the winners of the Travelers’ Choice Awards were selected based on reviews and ratings collected over a 12-month period.

The Best of the Best title recognises the “highest level of excellence in travel”.

Only less than 1% of the 8 million listings on the website are able to accomplish this distinguished milestone.
