1. Accommodation Recommendations Curated From Leading Media Outlets

2. INTRODUCTION Travellers’ expectations are continually changing. With millennials mainly driving this change, the way customers find and book accommodations has shifted as well. According to a recent survey, U.S. adults unexpectedly find giants such as Tripadvisor, Google or Trivago trustworthy sources, however the majority of travellers looking for hotel reviews are looking someplace else. Alert to new trends, Recommended Room, an up and coming accommodation recommendations platform is upping their game by now covering over 80 of the most popular locations from around the world and expanding their leading sources for reviews curation to include The Telegraph, CNN, CN Travel, The New York Times, The Guardian and more.

4. How does Recommended Room work The platform functions by bringing together recommendations from across the most trusted sources at a global level, specifically travel and tourism experts collaborating with top tier media outlets, and matching them with customer reviews. This aggregation of data enables Recommended Room to make an optimal selection of which hotels, B&Bs and hostels are featured on their website. The accommodations are then listed accompanied by photographs, price and the reviews and the booking process is made via Booking.com. The site also does regular round ups of recommendations per city. The platform has been growing in popularity due to its versatility and special concept. According to the company, they have recorded a substantial number of users in the past couple of years.

5. Succeeding from the underdog position Recommended Room was born out of a need to stand out from other travel platforms where reviews can be fake or inaccurate. It equally saves travellers time by compiling data from various sources and having it in one place. “The internet can be a rather confusing place to navigate with overflowing information and every single place claiming to be the best, the cheapest, the most authentic and so on. At the same time we are seeing the rise of paid advertising which can sometimes be misleading. Our goal is to make the selection and booking of an accommodation as seamless as possible and ensure every customer can make an informed decision they will not regret.” said a Recommended Room spokesperson.

6. Why Making Informed Holiday Choices is No Longer a Time Consuming Process When arranging a holiday or any other type of travel abroad, people now have more options open to them than ever before. They can scour the internet for the best hotels, flights, prices and locations, rather than in the old pre-internet days where no such research methods existed, and booking a trip often required a leap of faith. But with this greater breadth of research, where every minute detail can be checked and measured against alternatives, comes an almost overwhelming level of information. There is always one more website to check, or another location to investigate – before long, the budding holidaymaker has spent more time researching their holiday than they will spend actually experiencing it.

7. RecommendedRoomis a website that aims to simplify this process, by aggregating recommendations on a wide range of overseas accommodation. There are six major cities currently front and centre on their website, Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Rome, Paris and New York.
