How we choose
We check what properties claim against their own websites and the region’s own portals, and we also name what argues against booking — ongoing refurbishment, say, or childcare that only starts at age three. A ranking from one to five rarely helps with hotels, because needs differ too much. So we match each property to a need instead.
Transparency notice: this article contains advertising links to Booking.com. If you book through them we receive a small commission — the price stays exactly the same for you.
