Over half a million responses to the hotel.info “value-for-money-index” calculated guest evaluations of 3 and 4 star hotels on a regular basis. Guests evaluated the hotels for value for money on a scale of 0 to 10. The total number of hotel.info guest evaluations is currently more than 500,000 with more than 1,000 new ones added daily.

hotel.info has recently completed a comparative analysis of its own data of value for money in 3 and 4 star hotels taken from the evaluations of more than 500,000 guests which showed that although hotel guests judge the value for money of Beijing hotels to be the best globally, Bournemouth’s ratings topped this in Great Britain category.

Bournemouth scored the highest points for British hotels, a remarkable 8.21 out of 10, which is higher than Beijing’s 8.15. However with a score of 5.52, Birmingham has the worst overall score behind the lowest scoring international destination, Madrid, with 6.87.

Mark Smith, Head of Tourism says; “This survey shows people what we have known all along, that Bournemouth hotels provide exceptional value for money in the quality of accommodation and service they provide. Our hotels are always improving and this is evident in the amount they invest in the town, with several undergoing large refurbishments recently. This study further reinforces Bournemouth’s position as the UK’s leading resort and is a great credit to the excellent management and staff.

“This news highlights the good work being done in the industry, but there are more innovative developments enduring Bournemouth maintains its position. As a resort,

Bournemouth also provides value for money through free events such as the Kid’s Free Fun Festival, the More Bus Bournemouth Air Festival and the surf reef – a free-to-use watersports facility. The beach is Bournemouth’s prime asset, which is free to use, and Kidzone is also a free service for families to use to keep children safe if they wander away from their parents.”
