Our Good Hotel Awards, also known as the Blue Ribbon for Great Getaways™, are awarded to those who excel in room quality, service, and value. We use customer feedback/votes and online reviews to ensure that our awards are based on merit and reflect the opinions of actual guests. Many awardees have become regular recipients by maintaining the same high standards² that earned them their first recognition.
We cannot guarantee that we score every Hotel, B & B, Guest House or Serviced Apartment, as many are opened and closed throughout the year. However, interested participants can apply for our prestigious Good Hotel Award, and you cast a vote for your favourite.
While all awards have subjective elements, we have delighted our readers and fans for over twenty years.
We are proud of the businesses recognised by the Good Hotel Awards and are grateful to our loyal supporters who have contributed to our success. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about us, our awards and the exceptional businesses we have honoured over the years.
We value your support and are excited to continue our celebration of diversity and excellence in the hospitality industry.
