How Our Search Works

We at Crovillas want to provide you with as transparent an overview as possible of how the order ("ranking") of the displayed holiday properties on our platform is determined. Below, we explain the essential criteria without specifying exact numerical weightings or calculation details.

1. Goals and Basic Principle

Our goal is to display the right holiday accommodations for you so that you can make an informed choice quickly and easily. Various aspects are incorporated into the evaluation (the "ranking") of an accommodation, ensuring that you receive the most representative and fair sorting possible.

2. Main Factors of the Ranking

1. Price Aspects
   • We consider the price, for example per night or per person, and compare it with other offers. A good price-performance ratio can positively influence the ranking.
2. Booking History
   • How often and in which periods has the property been booked? Accommodations that have been particularly in demand in recent months or enjoy consistent popularity may appear higher up.
3. Availability
   • The number of still available (bookable) days of a property also has an impact. An accommodation with many free days can be more attractive to travelers and is accordingly taken into account.
4. Capacity and Suitability
   • We check for how many people an accommodation is maximally designed. The search also considers whether an accommodation is suitable for the number of people you specified.
5. Reviews
   • Guest reviews and testimonials are included as a quality feature in the overall rating. Well-rated accommodations benefit from higher visibility.
6. Newly Listed Properties
   • New accommodations that have only been available on crovillas.com for a short time receive an additional bonus in the ranking for a limited time. This is to ensure that they are not placed lower from the outset just because they have little booking or review history.

3. No Paid Placements

We do not receive any special compensation from the respective providers for their accommodations to be preferentially treated in the ranking. Our ranking is based solely on the criteria mentioned above. Should this change in the future, we will make this transparent and clearly identifiable.

4. No Individual User Profiling

Our platform currently does not perform any personalized customization or profiling. This means that, for example, your individual browsing behavior, location data, or past booking activities are not used for different pricing or ranking designs. Only the number of people you specify and your travel time affect the visibility of accommodations, as we only want to display suitable offers.

5. Ongoing Review of the Algorithm

We regularly review our ranking methods to ensure a fair and transparent representation. Should there be any significant changes, we will adjust this information and inform you clearly and understandably.

We hope to provide you with a clear overview of the most important ranking criteria with this information and wish you much success in your accommodation search!
