Berlin, 18 September 2023 – ehotel®, the leading hotel booking platform specialising in business customers, has once again demonstrated its excellence. In the prestigious Handelsblatt ranking of “Best Online Portals”, ehotel® was awarded first place in the “Hotel Booking/Comparison” category.
The award was presented in cooperation with the ranking agency ServiceValue and the Handelsblatt. At a time when online portals are having an ever-greater influence on consumers’ daily lives, ehotel® has proven that it is at the forefront when it comes to offering users an outstanding booking experience. The Handelsblatt conducted a comprehensive consumer survey, evaluating more than 39,000 customer reviews of 297 online portals across 26 categories. The result: ehotel® secured the coveted first place in the “Hotel Booking/Comparison” category.
Claus Dethloff, Managing Director of ServiceValue, emphasised that portals with simple user navigation are particularly successful in this ranking. “Many of the portals listed higher up are comparatively simple in design,” he said. “The consumer needs a piece of information or performs a single action – and that’s it.”
ehotel® is proud to receive this award and would like to thank its customers warmly for their trust and support. This recognition underscores the high level of customer focus and the personalised services that ehotel® offers its business customers.
