When you’re planning a holiday and browsing for places to stay, it’s likely that one of the first places you look is Airbnb

Whether you’re on a tight budget and just want a simple room, or you’re getting a group together for a lavish weekend getaway in a gorgeous country house, there’ll be an Airbnb that matches your destination preferences, budget and taste. 

And excitingly, the platform has just made browsing for truly standout properties even easier with the launch of their ‘guest favourites’ collection. Guest favourites were selected for their great reviews and reliability – making them the most-loved homes on the rental platform.

With everything from a sequestered chalet to a tropical forest apartment, here are just 10 of the 2 million ‘guest favourites’ available to book on Airbnb.

Secluded chalet in the woods, Canada

This is the place to go when you really need to switch off. Secluded is no understatement, given that this chalet does not come with wifi. Now that’s what we call tranquil.
