Points: Crucial for visibility

The main criterion for ranking and displaying organic hotel listings in search results is the points score. In the standard sorting, listings with higher scores are displayed first . Points are awarded for completeness, reviews, booking of premium packages, 100% organic content, and corresponding proof (certificate). The criteria are detailed below:

completeness

The more complete an organic hotel listing is, the more points it receives. If all data and descriptions are filled out accurately and images are included, the listing receives 100 points . (It also receives the "Completeness Award" .) Listings that are incomplete receive correspondingly fewer points.

Number of ratings

Every review adds value for the visitor and therefore also for the listing. Up to 100 points can be collected through reviews, with the first review earning the most points and each subsequent review increasing the value further.

Premium booking

This is the turbo boost for organic hotels . Premium listings receive an additional 200 points on top of those already earned through completeness and reviews. This guarantees that your listing will appear above all others in the search results, even those without premium status and bonus points.

All details regarding premium booking can be found here.

Bonus points for organic content

Hotels with at least 20% organic content receive bonus points (at least 20% = 20 points, at least 50% = 50 points, at least 90% = 90 points, 100% = 100 points). Organic hotels with 100% organic content, verified by certificate , receive an additional 30 bonus points .

Nevertheless, full control for visitors

The default sorting is by points. However, visitors can switch to… at any time if needed.

• Sorted by ratings (the best-rated organic hotels are at the top)
• Sorted by number of ratings
• Newest entries first

Naturally, the number of points or a premium booking has absolutely no influence on the visitor rating of the organic hotel listings. Ratings are based solely on visitor feedback and cannot be manipulated. It is not possible to buy an improved rating, and no rating that complies with our guidelines can be deleted upon request!
