How Travel & hospitality sites land

Every page we read gets a score out of 100, the number at the top of its report (how scoring works). Each row is a range of scores. Where too few sites score in the lowest ranges, they are joined into one row.

Not enough sites yet There are not enough sites yet to split them by score.
