How does our budget hotel selection work in practice? To assist us, we have an editorial staff and several skilled programmers. By collecting and analyzing large amounts of information, we provide our editors with an initial list of hotels that seem to be the most attractive and popular for people traveling on a budget, using an algorithm custom made for users looking for the best stays at their destination. This algorithm follows a set of rules to sort, select and remove accommodations. Among them are:
- Hotels should be in the right price range.
- The user review rating should not fall below a certain threshold.
- The hotel must have reviews. However, if new hotels appear, we may mark them as ‘Up & Coming’.
- Hotel may contain features most important for budget travelers. This could be things like room showers, own room, attractive lobby and the right location.
In the next step, our editors review the selection and may add, remove, or re-order hotels as needed. They also keep an eye on what is particularly interesting for families at this destination, ensuring these factors are reflected in the hotel selection.
