South Africa, March 2023 – An impressive 21 Southern Sun hotels across the group’s various brands have been rated higher than eight out of 10 in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards this year, as voted by world travellers on criteria that include remarkable quality, service and value.

Southern Sun’s ongoing commitment to creating exceptional experiences at distinctive destinations across South Africa, from luxury getaways and business trips to memorable family escapes and indulgent romantic stays, has resulted in this meaningful recognition. To be awarded in 2023, accommodation providers were required to have an average review score of 8.0 (out of 10) or higher based on at least three reviews, as of November 30, 2022.

These acknowledgements reflect not only the high standards throughout the leading hotel group’s various brands but also their consistency in delivering on the brand promise of creating exceptional experiences for guests. Many of the group’s hotels that earned Booking.com Traveller Review Awards last year have once again achieved favourable reviews this year, with the following hotels appearing on the top honours list in 2023.

Southern Sun’s chief executive, Marcel von Aulock commented, “The Booking.com Traveller Review Awards are a direct reflection of our guests’ experiences, and we place great value on achieving these results. We pride ourselves on consistently delivering the highest standards, and we thank our guests for continuing to choose to stay with us.”
