How does our family 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, using an algorithm custom made for families. This algorithm follows a set of rules to sort, select and remove accommodations. Among them are:
- The accommodation must be a popular choice among families, calculated using standard deviation.
- The user review rating from families should not fall below a certain threshold.
- The hotel must have reviews. However, if new hotels appear, we may mark them as ‘Up & Coming’.
- Locations are spread across the city based on family activities and points of interest.
- Hotels offering family rooms is not a must but affects ranking.
- Other factors affecting our ranking include facilities such as pools, play areas, water activities, and other family-friendly amenities.
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.
