Jaipur tops India destinations in Trivago annual Reputation Ranking

By BW Hotelier Jaipur Hawamahal Four Indian cities, led by Jaipur, are in the Top 100 of the annual Reputation Ranking of a leading online hotel search site,-Trivago.co.uk. Jaipur ranks 29th in the global list led by Sanya,China. The other Indian cities in the Top 100 are-Bengaluru at No. 75, Mumbai at No. 85 and Delhi at No. 94. Singapore features lower than Delhi at No. 99 and London fails to make the cut. Clearly, tourism numbers are not in sync with this ranking of reputations because Delhi's popularity as a travel hub is way below London's or Singapore's. The list of 100 cities, which is published at the beginning of each year, ranks global destinations according to the reputation of their hotels. Each destination is given an index, which is based on over 140 million hotel reviews and ratings aggregated from over 200 booking sites worldwide. In order to make the comparison fair, only hotels with at least 60 reviews and cities with at least 130 hotels are included. Topping the list is Sanya, China has the most highly rated hotels in the world, with an index of 86.94 per cent. The city on Hainan Island has become a popular tourist destination in recent years, due to its tropical climate. The destination contains a large number of high rise resort hotels, which are typically praised for their value for money, excellent facilities, friendly service and beautiful location. Value for money seems to unite these destinations, with eight of the top ten boasting an average price per night of less than -100 during 2014. Hanoi, in second place, has an average price per night of just -39. This suggests good value plays a key role in determining hotel popularity, with guests more likely to rate a hotel favourably if they feel like a good deal has been achieved. Trivago.co.uk, compares rates from over 700,000 hotels on over 200 booking sites worldwide and claims to be the world’s largest online hotel search site.
