FAQ

How do you decide which hotels count as "Downtown Dubai"?

We match each hotel's verified GPS coordinates against a lat/long boundary drawn from Downtown Dubai's real map extent, rather than relying on a neighborhood field in our data that isn't populated yet. Any hotel we track in Dubai whose coordinates fall inside that boundary is included.

Does this list include every hotel in Downtown Dubai?

It includes every hotel in our Dubai database with verified coordinates inside the Downtown Dubai boundary. As we track more hotels and confirm more coordinates, this list updates automatically.

How is the Trust Rating calculated?
