What is a Forbes inspector?

Forbes Inspectors are anonymous professionals employed by Forbes Travel Guide to evaluate hotels, restaurants, and spas around the world. Their main responsibility is to assess properties using a rigorous set of standards related to service, facilities, and overall guest experience. Inspectors visit properties unannounced, experiencing them as typical guests to ensure unbiased and accurate evaluations. Their findings contribute to Forbes Travel Guide's prestigious star ratings, which are recognized globally as a mark of excellence in hospitality.
