FunnelScope announces the first hotel awards based on user reviews! These awards leverage an innovative approach of aggregating millions of reviews from travel and review sites and scoring each review for key criteria and categories. The winning hotels by each category are listed below. Congratulations to the 2010 Reviewers’ Choice Hotel Award winners!
The Reviewers’ Choice Hotel Awards for U.S. hotels provide a unique and broad perspective by taking into account user experiences via millions of unbiased hotel reviews and distilling their implied ratings across numerous categories. These categories include: bed comfort, bathroom quality, beach hotels, service quality, business, access to entertainment, family-friendly, gym quality, pet-friendly, pool quality, romantic, overall value, and quality of views.
These days most of us rely on user reviews to help us make travel decisions. FunnelScope’s hotel search engine takes this a step further by quantifying user reviews into ratings that can be quickly and easily understood. FunnelScope’s unique semantic technology was used in scoring the reviews.
Millions of hotel reviews are posted online each year at multiple websites. It’s too much information to digest. In fact, it’s nearly impossible, not to mention a time waste, to find and read all the hotel reviews available. But online hotel reviews are a trusted and valuable source of information. They help people make their hotel booking decisions and often are a key factor that determines the quality of their trip.
Funnelscope solves the problem of being able to digest all that information!
Travelers have been waiting for someone smart to compile all that hotel review information on the web into an easily digestible format. Travelers only want to see reviews that help them find a hotel that meets their needs. FunnelScope is doing just that – simplifying hotel research to find the perfect hotel.
The awards are listed below by category. Congratulations to the hotels listed. They’ve won FunnelScope’s first annual Reviewers Choice awards! Las Vegas flights.
Consumers searching for the right hotel are also winners. Why? Because now they can use FunnelScope’s innovative hotel research engine to generate a personalized hotel list specific to their criteria and location (city or neighborhood).
