Two Irish hotels make it into top 100 hotels of the world list

Customer reviews of the Lake Hotel in Killarney and the River Lee Hotel in Cork helped rank the hotels on the Expedia list.

TWO IRISH HOTELS have made it into Expedia’s list of top hotels in the world. The Expedia Insiders’ Select list features the top 100 hotels and is completely independent of advertisers and partners.

The Lake Hotel in Killarney is ranked in the 50th place while The River Lee Hotel in Cork comes in at 75.

Expedia states that of the 205,000 hotels and resorts on Expedia, only 650 hotels are deemed eligible for the list.

Hotels deemed eligible were ranked with a numerical score. Only the top hotels with the highest scores were chosen for the Insiders’ Select list.

Customer reviews

To make the cut, hotels must have a minimum number of reviews (which they state they verify to be authentic) and a price comparison is made between nearby resorts that have a similar star rating and amenities.

Expedia stated they also rely on their expert reviewers to rank the top hotels.

The Expedia top 100 list comes out in the same week that the website Hotels.com published a survey that claimed that average prices for rooms in Ireland booked on their site had risen in the last six months.

The Irish Hotels Federation, however, says that those numbers are wrong and based on too small a sample size.
