These unique and fun ‘Booking.yeah’ accommodations  show how every traveller differs in what makes their stay truly memorable, and were determined by digging into the wealth of travel insights provided by Booking.com reviewers. This selection of accolades highlights the incredible breadth and diversity of the reviews, which includes Best View, Best Freebies, Best Towel Origami, Best Infinity Pool and Best Cocktails.
 
Whether it’s a ‘Singapore Sling’ or a ‘Rhubarbara Streisand’ that tickles your taste buds, the Booking’s Best Awards, as voted by over 40 million reviewers in 2014, will tell you where to stay to sample the best cocktails the world’s accommodation can offer. Similarly, if it’s a breath-taking view that drives your stay options, then Booking’s Best will help you find the perfect location to take in the most spectacular sights from the comfort of your own accommodation.
 
“The Awards provide a strong indication of the quality accommodation options available on Booking.com across India and around the world,” said Booking.com Regional Director Stephen Thresh. “We encourage people to continue to provide guest reviews on Booking.com to accurately reflect their experiences and share this with us as we are then able to leverage the insights gained from each experience and identify what makes a property unique and what makes a guest’s stay extra special.”
