According to TripAdvisor’s website, “The TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice award winners for 2005 were determined by a combination of TripAdvisor’s Popularity Index and traveler ratings of specific attributes. TripAdvisor’s Popularity Index is a proprietary algorithm that determines traveler satisfaction based on a variety of sources, including TripAdvisor hotel reviews and travel articles and opinions found throughout the web. TripAdvisor recently added ratings to the hotel review process, allowing travelers to “grade” hotels based on a variety of attributes, including cleanliness, value and suitability for specific types of travelers.”
