VietnamTravel.org, a travel guide, announced that Cham Villas in the southeastern costal city of Phan Thiet tops its list of “Vietnam’s Finest Hotels” for 2009.

The list was drawn up after an extensive survey of 16,000 hotel reviews.

It was followed by Hanoi Elegance Boutique Hotel, Novotel Nha Trang, and Park Hyatt Saigon.

For the ranking, VietnamTravel.org collected hotel reviews from major websites like Yahoo Travel, Tripadvisor, Booking.com, and Agoda.com.

Hotels with more than 10 reviews were then ranked on their overall score, as were six major tourist destinations that have consistently received great customer feedback.

In addition to the Top 30 listings, the Vietnam Travel website now provides a clear breakdown of how each of the 347 hotels listed on the website has scored, allowing travelers to the country to quickly and easily compare hotels and make a decision on where to stay.
