How does Starworks rank holiday homes, apartments & b&bs nationally?
To rank holiday homes, apartments & b&bs across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star holiday accommodation with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 499 highest-rated holiday homes, apartments & b&bs in Australia is 5.0 stars from a median of 20 reviews.
Where can I find the best holiday homes, apartments & b&bs in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for holiday homes, apartments & b&bs in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my holiday accommodation business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the holiday accommodation category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of holiday homes, apartments & b&bs in Australia lists the top 50 of the 499 highest-rated holiday homes, apartments & b&bs; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
