with this accommodation type topping the list yet again, making up nearly 40% of
the award-winning properties globally in 2020. Similarly, for a third
consecutive year, four out of the five top-awarded accommodation types are
alternative accommodation options: Apartments (380,936), hotels (179,869), guest
houses (94,162), holiday homes (82,241), and B&Bs (75,875).

While hotels came in as the second most-awarded accommodation type yet again,
three quarters (75%) of all the winning properties are homes, apartments and
other unique places to stay, including everything from boats and igloos to
homestays and country houses. With recent research by Booking.com surveying over
22,000 travelers revealing that nearly two fifths (39%) of global travelers
would prefer to stay in a holiday home or apartment over a hotel, Booking.com is
proud to offer so many unique places to stay that provide superior hospitality.

Paphos Airport, Cyprus (11); Cairns Airport, Australia (11); Budapest Airport,
Hungary (11); and Coolangatta Gold Coast Airport, Australia (11).

Airport taxis, which are available in over 750 destinations globally, are being
recognized for their outstanding service for the first time ever as well, with
2,114 drivers across 27 providers winning Traveller Review Awards. As 2020
