Did your city make the cut?
Airbnb’s annual hospitality index has been released, listing the regions in which hosts provide the most outstanding hospitality according to the five-star reviews received from guests after their stay.
In South Africa, a whopping nine out of the top ten regions were in the Western Cape.
And it was areas in the winelands that came out tops. Stellenbosch leads the way with 79% of reviewed trips getting a five-star rating, with the neighbouring town of Paarl, hot on its heels.
The only non-Western Cape City to crack the top ten, was the City of Gold, Johannesburg.
While other values such as cleanliness are obviously prized, it is of little value if guests don’t know the details necessary for a comfortable stay.
