I am completely satisfied with Routperfect. The website was very helpful for planning our trip. The choice of hotels was very good. I have been recommending Routperfect to my friends. If anything was not exactly they way I planned, it was mostly on me. I should have paid more attention to offered hotels. For example a four star hotel in Perugia was wonderful, but 20 minutes walk to the city center was a drawback. I am looking forward to using Routperfect for my next vacation.

We had a perfect trip! The planning process went well and is very easy to do and the suggested hotels - mostly based on TripAdvisor reviews - were good. There is nothing I'm not satisfied with and would highly recommend your platform to others.
