Booking.com recently acknowledged certain accommodation partners that demonstrated exceptional service standards across 220 countries.

Elite Havens was recognised in this highly acclaimed list with 9 of our exceptional properties being awarded a Traveller Review Award from Booking.com in 2021, for guest stays and reviews during 2020. These properties are at destinations ranging from Indonesia and Thailand to Japan and Sri Lanka.

The Traveller Review Award is given to Booking.com partners who have consistently received a review score between eight and ten from guests, with at least three reviews received before 1 December 2020. It recognises key partners like Elite Havens, for their commitment to exceptional hospitality and service.

Being selected as winners in the Awards’ ninth year serves as a strong testament to Elite Havens’ commitment and resilience, managing to offer exceptional travel experiences across Asia in a year of immense challenges for the hospitality industry. “This means a lot to us at Elite Havens. Our promise to our guests is an exceptional experience and memories that last a lifetime. This feedback makes us happy and gives us the energy to keep raising our performance bar to continue to meet and exceed expectations,” says Maya Rigg, CEO of Elite Havens.

“As trips became fewer and further between, each and every trip meant more to travellers than ever before, and it has become even more important to celebrate the outstanding service that the Traveller Review Award winners displayed during a year like no other,” says Arjan Dijk, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer for Booking.com.
