Unveiling the World’s Best-Reviewed Hotels
Expedia.ca has released the Expedia 2014 Insiders’ Select rankings, an annual crowd-sourced list of the world’s best-reviewed hotels.
The Insiders’ Select list recognizes the top-ranked hotels available worldwide on Expedia.ca as judged by nearly two million annual verified guest reviews and in-house experts. Hotels that consistently deliver value, in the form of competitive pricing, pristine amenities and superior customer service, will see that commitment rewarded in their ranking.
The exclusive 2014 list designates only 650 hotels as Insiders’ Select properties, from among the more than 290,000 bookable properties available on Expedia, Inc. web sites worldwide. Vancouver-based L’Hermitage Hotel makes the top 25, coming in at number 23. In the top spot is Lakehouse Hotel and Resort, a four-star property in San Marcos, followed closely by Blue Karma Resort in Seminyak, Bali. Last year, Mexico dominated the top 10 with six properties, but this year, the United States takes that honour with six listed in the top 10.
