Two hotels from Turkey entered into the Expedia Insiders\u2019s Select List. Hotels are listed based on quality and value, where the ranking is determined primarily by Expedia customer reviews.<\/p>\n
expedia-logoEvery year more than 500,000 reviews are submitted, verified and analysed to compile the Insider\u2019s Select list. Witt \u0130stanbul Suites and Hillside Su in Antalya are the two hotels from Turkey at the 2011 list.<\/p>\n
The Insiders\u2019 Select program debuted in 2007. This year, Expedia made the requirements more rigorous; the company required more reviews per property and higher scores per review to make the list. The 2011 winners are the top 500 hotels globally, out of the more than 135,000 properties offered on Expedia sites internationally. Hotels that made the 2011 list received an average review score of 4.7 and a 98.2% recommendation rate.<\/p>\n
Three components are considered when ranking a hotel:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Customer Reviews: Reviews are the most powerful testament to the quality of a hotel. Travelers submit reviews after completing a stay at a given hotel. Expedia verifies that each review is legitimate. The company has a comprehensive method of ferreting out fake reviews. More than 500,000 hotel reviews were analyzed over the past year.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Market Manager Input: Expedia employs hundreds of market managers in cities across the globe. These market managers work closely with Expedia\u2019s hotel partners to maximize the value the hotels get from Expedia\u2019s global online travel marketplace [and to maximize the value that hotels offer to Expedia\u2019s consumer base].<\/p>\n
\u2022 Value Rating: Expedia compares each property\u2019s average daily rates to those of similar properties, to assess the hotel\u2019s relative value. This makes it easy for busy travelers to identify hotels that deliver an excellent experience at a comparatively good value. Hotels that routinely exceed customer expectations \u2013 in their customer service, amenities, competitive pricing and more \u2013 see that emphasis reflected in their rankings.<\/p>\n
Expedia Turkey Market Management Director Marilena Zagana added, \u201cInsider Select scores are primarily determined by our customers. Every year, hundreds of thousands of travelers take the time to share their experiences with Expedia and with one another. The 2011 Insiders\u2019 Select List reflects that collective wisdom. We hope to see more and more hotels from Turkey at the list every year.<\/p>\n
