The Countries in the Middle East with the Best Guest Experience

In time for the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai we’re releasing our yearly report on the guest experience in hotels located in countries across the Middle East. More than 2.5 million online guest reviews over the past 12 months were analyzed for this report.

Cyprus still on top but losing ground

As in last year’s report, Cyprus is holding on to its #1 ranking among hotel customers. However, the country suffered a minor setback in guest experience ratings and other destinations are catching up quickly. When it comes to room quality and cleanliness Abu Dhabi already has the better offering.

3 destinations are leading the pack

The report also shows that most country’s guest experience continued to improve in 2016 and Early 2017. Hotels in Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar made the biggest advancements, with improvement rates between 2.8% and 3.3%.

Warren Buffett: “Really Successful People Say No To Almost Everything”

When I tell people that Warren Buffett follows the 5-Hour Rule and spends 80% of his time reading and thinking, they have an immediate and predictable reaction: “Well, he can do that because he’s Warren Buffett, one of the richest people in the world. I could never do that.” While this response may help people feel better about themselves, it certainly won’t make them smarter. Because the reality is: Buffett has spent most of his time reading and thinking since he was in grade school. Having more money or managing a large company doesn’t magically give you free time. Having free time is never the default. People don’t just fall into huge blocks of free time unless they retire. Rather, free time is the result of strategy. It’s the result of looking at time differently. Curious about Buffett’s unique strategies, I’ve read several books about him, read most of his annual letters to stockholders, and watched nearly all of his interviews. And make no mistake about it… behind Buffett’s jovia…

This Is Exactly How You Should Train Yourself To Be Smarter [Infographic]

Out of all the interventions we can do to make smarter decisions in our life and career, mastering the most useful and universal mental models is arguably the most important. Over the last few months, I’ve written about how many of the most successful self-made billionaire entrepreneurs like Ray Dalio, Elon Musk, and Charlie Munger swear by mental models… “Developing the habit of mastering the multiple models which underlie reality is the best thing you can do. “ — Charlie Munger “Those who understand more of them and understand them well [principles / mental models] know how to interact with the world more effectively than those who know fewer of them or know them less well. “ — Ray Dalio “It is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree — make sure you understand the fundamental principles, i.e. the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leav…

If you want to be massively successful, do NOT set ambitious goals, according to studies

The conventional model to having great success in your career is setting and ardently pursuing big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAGs), even if you have no idea how you’re going to achieve them when you start. Want to build a billion dollar company? Set the goal and work backward from long-term goals to medium-term goals to short-term goals to today’s to-do list. Then take action, measure your progress along the way, and constantly course correct so you’re always on the most direct path (that you’re aware of) toward your ultimate goal. Want to cure cancer? Set the goal and work backward. Measure your progress. Want to find the love of your life or be happy? Set the goal. Rinse and repeat. This goals model is so obvious in our culture, it goes without saying. It’s central to our collective success recipe. Goals give motivation, meaning, and focus when we feel lazy or distracted — at least so we’re told. However, recent research from the field of artificial intelligence is putting a nail in t…
