As a local guide, we are dedicated to helping in sharing knowledge and exploring the world to make an impact on our community. One of the best ways to make an impact is by highlighting sustainable & eco friendly :recycling_symbol: practices in our reviews.

Have you ever looked for a hotel that aligns with sustainability & eco friendliness :recycling_symbol:? Now Google Maps makes it easier to find such hotels which are committed to Sustainability.


How can you find sustainable hotels & review them?

  1. Look for Eco-Certified hotels

While searching for hotels, keep an eye for “leaf shaped icons” with Eco-certified below the name of the hotel. This indicates the hotel has third party eco-certification.

  1. Explore Sustainability Attributes
