For best-in-class quality you can trust

As a guest, it means we've done the hard work for you. We've taken the hit-and-miss out of choosing. If it's on Plum Guide, you can expect consistent, high quality standards.

​

The 150 criteria of the Plum Test range include 'measurable' criteria like WiFi speed and decibel levels in the bedroom, as well as soft 'feel' criteria like the design aesthetic and the sociability of the space. These criteria represent Plum Guide's “Science Behind The Perfect Stay”. Search your perfect destination

How did we develop it? By interviewing expert psychologists, designers, hoteliers, architects and of course, regular travellers. It all started with one simple question: what makes a perfect stay?

The world's most meticulous home test

To win the Plum Award, homes must pass all 4 stages of The Plum Test, culminating in a personal home visit from an independent Home Critic.

How does it work?

1. Every time we launch a new destination, we create a database of all the homes available.

2. We then systematically review every home, and shortlist the ones with great design, with great reviews, in great locations.

3. After a host interview, the top contenders are nominated for the Plum Award. These are our up and coming homes.

4. To win the Plum Award, a home needs to complete two final stages: it must delight a Plum Guide guest, and it must pass the Plum Home Test, conducted by an independent Home Critic.
