How the 'Customer Excellence Award' works 

When British Airways Holidays customers return from their holidays, this tour operator asks them to rate their experience at the hotel where they stayed, and rate it "on a five-star scale", and in several categories such as "location, service and value for money". Customers also "assign an overall quality score of five", BAH says. "Last year, we gathered more than 67,000 independent hotel reviews and we are extremely proud of our verified Feefo ratings," that operator adds.
