Olery’s report measures overall guest satisfaction, analyzing aspects of tourists’ accommodation experiences, including service, location, cleanliness, room quality and value for money.

In Qatar, hotel rooms were rated highly, receiving a score of 8.9 out of 9, which places the country at the top of the list, regionally. The country also received high marks in the rankings of cuisine (8.9), service (8.9) and facilities (8.5).

Its accommodation options were popular among a variety of travelers, including families, business travelers, and couples.

“The Olery report and the guests who have stayed in Qatar’s hotels have recognized that the industry’s top selling points are providing quality facilities, professional service, and authentic experiences,” said Al Ibrahim. “These elements continue to be our priority as we work with our partners to build new and diverse tourism and hospitality products, as outlined in the Next Chapter of the Qatar National Tourism Sector Strategy.”
