HYGIENE now outranks price and location as the top criteria for travellers seeking accommodation, a survey from metasearch engine Skyscanner has found.

According to the 2,300 travellers surveyed, sanitation practices top the list of “extremely important” factors, outranking price and location, while nearly half will avoid shared amenities and common areas, and two-in-five will seek outdoor dining areas.
