How the Top Farm Award works
The Top Farm Award from bauernhofurlaub.info annually recognizes the most popular and best-rated holiday farms in German-speaking countries. The award is based on an independent scoring model based on guest reviews and user interest.
150,000 reviews analyzed
We evaluate reviews on bauernhofurlaub.info, Google and Facebook – fairly and comparable.
Search interest counts
Searches for your farm and page views on bauernhofurlaub.info also contribute to the ranking.
Fair formula
We use the Bayesian Average so that many real reviews count more than a few outliers.
The rating is composed of 65% review scores, 25% user behavior, and 10% community surveys. This creates a balanced, transparent ranking – updated every year.
Reviews, search behavior and fairness
The award is based on approximately 150,000 reviews on bauernhofurlaub.info, Google, and Facebook. We also consider search interest (e.g., page views) and a community survey.
To fairly weight the data, we use the so-called Bayesian Average – this favors quality over quantity and outliers do not distort the result.
Independence guaranteed
No. Ranking placement cannot be purchased. The award is given solely based on objective data – regardless of whether a farm is a premium entry or not.
These factors count
- Ratings (number and average)
- Guest search behavior (e.g. profile views)
- Voices from the community survey
- Low number of negative reviews
- Long-term popularity and activity

The award-winning farms receive the official “Top Farm” seal, are prominently featured on the platform, and are promoted via newsletters, social media, and the press.
