This distinction recognises establishments that consistently receive excellent reviews and maintain a score between 4 and 5 throughout the year. The digital platform uses a proprietary algorithm that assesses the quality, quantity, and recency of the reviews and opinions submitted by users over a 12-month period, as well as the popularity rating of the destination. In this way, users can share their experiences and assess their stay, serving as a guide for future customers.
This distinction recognises the effort made by RIU hotel staff on a daily basis to provide good service, always focusing on achieving customer satisfaction.
