Shocking fact: Budapest is no longer the leader in the Hungarian hotel industry

Turizmus.com reports that trivago, one of the most popular hotel search websites these days, has set up its annual list about the European and Hungarian cities that got the highest scores in the category of hotels. The results were made based on the evaluation of the hotels by more than 175 million customers.

Every year, trivago sets up its list about the best hotels in Europe, which shows how many points customers give to a hotel on a 0-to-10 rating scale. Based on the list, Hungary got the 13th rank among the European cities.

In spite of this, the visitors emphasized the great attitude and dedication of the Hungarian hotel owners towards the customers, and their professionalism as well. This is outstanding, as far as Europe is considered.

The 8.25 points reached by Hungary shows, however, a little setback compared to the result of last year with the 8.32 points, when Hungary was the 5th on the list with this score.

As far as the ranking of the Hungarian cities is concerned, it was undoubtedly a surprise that Makó became the 1st, while Budapest only got the 9th place on the list. Based on the feedbacks given by the visitors, it is in Makó where one can enjoy the best services of wellness hotels in the country. Furthermore, Makó stands out of the list with its 8.67 points, that is unbelievably high, and makes it also noteworthy among the European cities with its 13th rank.

As sokszínűvidék.24.hu reports, what might be shocking is that Budapest is only at the 9th place, while actually giving home to some incredible hotels.
