This Floating Hotel Boasts 100% Perfect Guest Reviews

S easoned travelers know the drill. A hotel 's star rating doesn't really make the experience, nor does its advertised luxury level. Sometimes, a hotel may seem great on paper, but when it comes to the customer service experienced by your average tourist, it's not always as great as expected.

But some hotels around the globe are as excellent as they seem. They're rare, but they exist, and one of them is located in Scotland's Edinburgh.

Before you go look at the map to figure out where it is, you should know that ground maps won't work. Fingal , a luxury floating hotel, is actually a yacht situated on Edinburgh's waterfront. Thanks to a series of renovations, this former lighthouse tender can house guests in one of its 22 cabins while maintaining its historical charm.

The hotel boasts a perfect 10 out of 10 when it comes to its guest rating on Hotels.com, and a quick trip through the hotel's reviews will quickly explain why.

"We can't rate the Fingal highly enough, 5 stars doesn't do it justice," reads one recent review. "From the moment you step on board every member of staff helps to give you a unique experience that you will never forget. Your are welcome to explore the whole boat and a member of staff will even accompany you and give you a wonderful explanation of the history of the Fingal. It's the little personal touches and the amazing customer service that just makes it so extra special."

"Perfect Somewheres 2024 recognizes the hotel industry's creme de la creme," Expedia Group's SVP of Global Communications Lauri Metrose said in a statement. "Most programs use only reviews, or focus solely on luxury—our new awards program spotlights hotels that craft extraordinary experiences and elevate the travel journey for our guests, regardless of the number of stars."
