The ancient town of Hoi An made the top-10 in Agoda’s recently released Travel Smart study which identified destinations with the World’s best hotels.
The rankings are based on data collected from nearly 7 million customers who submitted reviews for hotels after their stays.
“In addition to their written remarks, they score hotels on a scale of 0 to 10 in six categories. A hotel’s total review score is an average of those numbers,” according to the site.
