represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on TripAdvisor’s website.
“Our
hotels strive to provide a memorable guest experience; receiving this honour
is evidence that their hard work and commitment to excellence is translating

When
selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary
algorithm to determine the honourees that takes into account reviews ratings.
Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least
four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include
a business’ tenure and popularity ranking on the site.
“TripAdvisor
is pleased to honour exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent
excellence,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business.
“The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments
around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those
who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want
to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor
travellers a great customer experience.”
