For hotels

KidTrip ranks family hotels by a transparent Kid-Friendliness Score. If something on your listing is wrong or out of date, tell us here and we'll fix it โ€” free, and without a sales call.

How we research a hotel

  1. 1We shortlist

    For each launch city we build a list of resorts and hotels that plausibly work for families โ€” brands with real children's programmes plus the highest family-rated independents, spread across price points.

  2. 2We publish what your website says โ€” clearly labelled

    Your published pages give us pools, rooms, dining and your kids' club description. Until someone at the property confirms the childcare details, the listing is labelled 'from hotel website โ€” unconfirmed' and its childcare score is capped at 60 out of 100.

  3. 3We email you five questions

    Ages, hours, supervision and check-in, cost and booking window, and above all whether parents may leave. One written reply lifts the cap, adds a 'hotel confirmed' badge and stamps the listing with the date.

  4. 4We re-check yearly

    Programmes get cut, ages change, seasonal clubs close. Anything older than a year is re-verified or the score drops.

Rules that keep the score honest

  • Adults-only pools and spas never count towards children's water facilities.
  • An unstaffed playroom is never counted as childcare, however nice it is.
  • Babysitting referral lists are recorded, but score far below on-site staffed care.
  • Nothing a hotel pays for โ€” including booking commission โ€” can change a score.
  • A claim we read on a website is never shown as verified until you confirm it.

The full weighting is public on our how we score page.

The five questions that drive the score

Childcare is the heaviest single factor in the Kid-Friendliness Score, so these answers matter most. Answer what you can โ€” anything you leave blank stays as it is.

1. Can parents leave children in your care, or must an adult stay?

Listings are free and we never charge hotels. Nothing you send here can raise or lower a score by itself โ€” it only corrects the facts the score is calculated from.
