Tag Archives: Zoover Awards 2010

This year again, the Zoover Awards 2010 rewards the best hotels, camping, bed and breakfasts, chalets, pensions, country houses, holiday homes, holiday villages, villas, bungalows, apartments and aparthotels.

In order to list the best accommodations, Zoover has picked the accommodations that received the best ratings and reviews by travellers and tourists from 16 European countries over the past 12 months.

The soaring development of traveller reviews reflects perfectly the growing awareness of the customers, more and more demanding when it comes to their holidays. Thanks to the power of web 2.0, accommodation owners can no longer ignore the needs and opinion of its customers and many take increasingly in account the reviews in order to improve their services, for the full benefit of their clients and of their reputation.

Still, there is much room for improvement, especially for the accommodations that collected negative reviews or that close their eyes on traveller feedbacks. With the Zoover Awards, we at Zoover want to reward the best rated hotels by European travellers, but also encourage all accommodation owners to care about traveller reviews. And of course, Zoover Awards will help everybody to pick the perfect holidays by avoiding bad surprises, because with Zoover: “you could have known”!

Gold for Tuscany

Tuscany wins the gold medal, as it’s the area with the highest number of accommodations reviewed with an average rating 8.5 and more out of 10.0. A special mention to:

• The Hotel Mediterraneo in Montecatini Terme with 8.6 rating and 46 reviews
• The Camping Le Pianacce in Castagneto Carducci with 127 reviews and rate 8.2 and
• The Country Residence Belmonte in Montaione with 28 reviews and rating 9.1

Next to Tuscany follows the regions of Trentino and Southern Tirol with 65 accommodations awarded among the best ones in Italy and Lombardy with 32 accommodations. And since we recently came back from the Island of Elba, we wanted to highlight also the Camping Valle Santa Maria in Capoliveri !

The worst accommodations in Italy

Before revealing the names of the less attractive accommodations, according to travellers, we must underline that in Italy, the “worst” are not “that bad”. While in some countries, some hotels have an average rating below 2.0 (out of 10), the worst hotels in our Belpaese scored at least 2.5 !

So here comes the top 5 worst accommodations in Italy:

• The Camping Il Gineprino in Marina di Bibbona (Tuscany) with 29 reviews and rating 4.9
• The Holiday Park Belvedere Pineta in Grado (Friuli) with 133 reviews and rating 5.5
• The Camping Dei Fiori in Pietra Ligure (Liguria) with 34 reviews and rating 5.9
• The Holiday Park Mare Si in Follonica (Tuscany) with 20 reviews and rating 5.9
• The Grand Hotel Puccini in Milan with 11 reviews and rating 5.5

Please note that the Zoover Awards 2010 rewards all the facilities reviewed by travellers from over 16 European countries with a minimum average score of 7.5, calculated from a minimum of 5 reviews given in 2009 (from January, 1st until December, 31st ).
