Every year, Tripadvisor trawls through millions of reviews from its community of travellers to uncover the hotels and B&Bs that people raved about, those that go the extra mile and the places that make a holiday special.
And, 2020 was no different, even during a pandemic travellers continued to discover new places and share their advice with other holiday-goers, despite the significant disruption to the hospitality industry caused by coronavirus.
Ratings in the 'best romance hotel' were drawn from reviews by couples.

She said: "I'm really pleased but it's obviously not just us, it's the whole team, it's a big achievement and especially now that we're able to open properly from next week."
Ms Duttson, said while it had been a challenging time for businesses the team at The Norfolk Mead had tried to use the pandemic to carry out maintenance and updates.
She said she thought there were a number of factors that made the hotel a favourite for romantic getaways, including the range of rooms available to guests, the hotel's grounds and the restaurant.
"On the romance side of things, we have had quite a few engagements, each room is very different and we are not a standard boutique hotel," said Ms Duttson.
Hayley Coleman, a spokesperson for Tripadvisor said: "Now that staycations are back on in the UK and the ban on overseas travel is days away from lifting, Brits will want to start getting plans in motion for what could possibly be the most longed for the holiday of their life.
"This celebration of the best of the best hotels around the world should serve as the perfect guide for discovering places to stay that are fit for the trip of a lifetime.”
