Six categories carry fixed weights in our scoring model. Applying the same weights everywhere is what makes one property's score meaningful against another's.

Assessed on floor plan clarity, lounge provision, game variety, air quality, and crowding at peak times.

20%High impact

Accommodation quality

We check noise transfer between rooms, bed and bath quality, room technology, and housekeeping reliability.

20%High impact

Service and hospitality

Check-in speed, concierge competence, language coverage, request handling, and recovery when something goes wrong.

15%Moderate impact

Restaurants and bars

We assess variety, kitchen reliability, the breakfast service, late-night options, and cellar depth.
