At ChallawaRiver Homes, we believe every stay should be more than just a visit—it should be an experience that lingers in the heart long after check-out. We are beyond thrilled to share that Booking.com has recognized this dedication with the prestigious Traveller Review Award!

This award is not just a badge of honor; it’s a reflection of the countless smiles, thoughtful gestures, and exceptional moments we’ve shared with our wonderful guests. But what exactly does this award mean, and why should it matter to you?
Let’s take you on a journey to discover why this recognition is so special—and why booking with us guarantees an award-winning experience.
What Is the Traveller Review Award?
The Traveller Review Award is an annual recognition presented by Booking.com, one of the world’s leading online travel platforms. These awards celebrate the top-rated hospitality providers around the globe—hotels, serviced apartments, vacation homes, and more—based entirely on genuine guest reviews.
Unlike other industry awards that might be influenced by marketing campaigns or expert panels, the Traveller Review Award is rooted in the real experiences of travelers just like you. Whether it’s a family enjoying a weekend getaway, a business traveler seeking comfort after a long day, or a couple celebrating a special occasion, these reviews tell authentic stories of satisfaction, warmth, and hospitality.
Simply put, the award reflects properties that consistently deliver outstanding guest experiences—where service goes beyond the ordinary, and every detail matters.
How Are the Traveller Review Awards Given?
So, how does a property like ChallawaRiver Homes earn such an esteemed recognition? The process is refreshingly straightforward—and that’s what makes it so meaningful.
Booking.com evaluates guest reviews collected throughout the year. These reviews cover key aspects of a guest’s stay, such as:
- Cleanliness: How spotless and well-maintained the property is.
- Comfort: The quality of the rooms, beds, and overall amenities.
- Location: Convenience, accessibility, and surroundings.
- Facilities: Availability of essential and extra amenities.
- Staff: Friendliness, professionalism, and attentiveness of the team.
- Value for Money: Whether guests feel they got their money’s worth.
- Free Wi-Fi: The reliability and speed of internet services.
To qualify, properties must maintain a high average review score based on consistent, positive feedback. This means our recognition is not based on a single great review but on a pattern of excellence—month after month, guest after guest.
