The opinions in Google of the clients of the rural hotels of Catalonia
This is the classification method we have devised. The list is drawn up based on two criteria:
⇒ That the rural houses have a minimum rating of 4 stars (out of 5) in the Google system.
⇒ That the rural accommodations have a number of different evaluations greater than 75.
Then, we combine both parameters with a simple formula, et voilà! We can now extract a list that has the objectivity of hundreds of clients from the rural houses themselves.
