After analyzing 20 million authentic reviews from guests who have stayed in hotels around the world, the company Hotels.com announced the winners of its program "Loved by Guests Awards 2016".

She added that every winning hotel will receive a framed award for a window display, which can be placed on their premises. Hoteliers will also be able to display their grade ratings on social and digital platforms by downloading special mini-applications.
