The sixteen traveller archetypes.

Every quiz result lands on one of these. They are not personality verdicts — just a shorthand for how someone wants to travel now, drawn from the answers you give.

How we score this

Every answer feeds a spread of traits rather than a single label, and no one question can decide your result.

  1. 01

    Every answer counts a little

    Each question adds small amounts to several traits — curiosity, pace, sociability, appetite for beauty and so on. Traits are measured by more than one question, so a single answer can nudge your profile but never dominate it. The colour question is a good example: it colours your result, it doesn't decide it.

  2. 02

    Traits become a traveller type

    Your trait scores are compared against all sixteen traveller types. Each type is defined by the traits it leans towards — and, where it matters, the ones it leans away from. The closest weighted fit becomes your type, provided the traits that define it are genuinely present in your answers.

  3. 03

    Places are scored the same way

    Every place carries its own trait profile. A match percentage blends three things: how closely the place matches your traits, how well it meets the practical needs you told us about, and the care and sense of place in the property itself. Personality fit carries the most weight — and when a place meets every practical requirement, more of the score shifts to personality.

    What the percentage means

    85% and above is an exceptional match, 70% and above a strong one, 55% and above worth a look. Scores are relative to the collection, not the whole world of hotels — a lower number means a place is less you, not that it isn't lovely.
