“The hotels with the best food scores aren’t necessarily always the hotels with the highest TrustScores for overall guest satisfaction. That’s why we thought this was interesting for travelers to food destinations: we believe food lovers want to know where to stay so that they can have the very best overall dining experience on vacation,“ says Alan Young, TrustYou’s Senior Vice President of Marketing & Strategic Partnerships.
TrustYou’s food scores are calculated using a proprietary algorithm that analyzes sentiments about hotel food from online travel reviews across hundreds of online travel review sites. Scores of 87-100 are “Excellent.”
