10 hotels you must put on your bucket list

October 6, 2015

Each year, Trip Advisor names their list of the world's top hotels based on ratings from travelers like you. It's the "Peoples Choice" award for travel. Just 25 hotels out of 890,000 properties reviewed on the site are chosen for this coveted award. To be eligible, a hotel must have been open at least two years. In addition, judges for the travel site look for properties with "remarkable service, quality and value ratings." At Musafir.com, we're proud to represent 10 of this year's winners, including Trip Advisor's pick for best in the world, Gli Lankanfushi in the Maldive Islands. Congratulations to our winning partner hotels.
