To be listed in Hotels, an accommodation must meet our Accommodation listing guidelines AND meet all of the following criteria:

• A front desk is open and staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• Check-in hours can have a start time, but should not have a designated end time
• Daily housekeeping is included in the room price
• Private bathroom for each unit
• Must not require guests to stay more than 3 nights

In selected countries, some specially-designated accommodations are displayed with Hotels. These accommodations are editorially selected and not available by request. Currently, these include Onsen Hotel, Onsen Ryokan and Ryokan, all in Japan.
