Hotels appearing on the list are predominantly chosen by the website's users as they are ranked according to the scores given in reviews. Those that do make the grade benefit from increased marketing by Expedia.
Seamus MacCormaic, senior director of market management in the UK, said it was good to see an increasing number of UK properties making it on to the list this year.
“Travellers have an increasingly voracious appetite for online reviews and they have become critically important to their purchasing decisions," he said. "Delivering a superior guest experience is more crucial than ever before and our research shows reviews drive increased demand as well as the ability to charge a higher price per room - and that’s when hotels really benefit."
