Booking.com, which was founded back in the year 1996, in Amsterdam, is now one of the world’s largest booking platforms. It is available in a total of forty- three different languages, with twenty- nine million accommodation entries listed on it. A significant chunk of this is occupied by holiday homes. As travelers these days have far more accommodation choices, Booking.com decided to come up with its own ratings system for holiday homes, something that was missing till now. While the star classification for hotels is well known, this is a novel move. With this, the global scale will be easier to understand. The quality rating system will use business analytics to break down data from across four- hundred odd factors, before coming up with the points. The countries that have in the preliminary round done best as holiday home hosts are – the USA, Italy, France, Greece and Spain. These holiday homes are most frequented by travelers from the UAE, China, Australia, Saudi Arabia and the UK.
