Let your guests speak for you

• Entries for the 2018 Boutique Hotel Guest experience Awards (The BoHos), are coming in thick and fast! We've been delighted to the response to date and have already received entries from 17 different countries. The BoHos are well on their way to becoming an established highlight in the industry calendar!

If you are thinking of entering but are feeling slightly swamped in the run up to the festive period, don't despair - the registration and entry process only takes a few minutes via a simple online form.

The BoHos reward the boutique, lifestyle and hybrid hotels who provide the very best in guest experiences. The BoHos are unique in that the winners are decided, not by judges, but by the hotels' guests, using a combination of aggregated verified guest feedback from review sites and booking engines worldwide, and direct guest feedback via questionnaires. Each have a 50 per cent weighting in a hotel's overall score to give a true picture of the guest experience provided.

Once entries for the 2018 awards have been finalised (the entry period closes on January 19th), a three-month period of data collection will commence, where each property's verified online reviews and direct feedback from guests will be collected and handed over to impartial academics at Glion Institute of Higher Education, who will then independently collate, assess and analyse the data, and decide upon the results.

There is no cost to enter the BoHos so don't miss the opportunity to get your property's name up in lights!

The 2018 BoHos will be presented at a gala ceremony in London on May 21, on the first evening of the 2018 Boutique and Lifestyle Hotel Summit. Click here to enter the awards and here to buy tickets for the Summit and the BoHos ceremony.
