A DORSET cinema has been recognised with a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

The Plaza Cinema in Dorchester announced the news today.

The achievement celebrates hospitality businesses that have earned great traveller reviews on TripAdvisor over the past year. 

Chris McDonald, Manager of the Plaza Cinema said: “ We are delighted to have received this award.  It reflects the effort of all of us at the Plaza and our attention to really good customer service.  We are especially grateful to our customers who have taken the time to comment on TripAdviser”.

"With the Certificate of Excellence, TripAdvisor honours hospitality businesses that have consistently received strong praise and ratings from travellers”, said Heather Leisman, Vice President of Industry Marketing, TripAdvisor.

“This recognition helps travellers identify and book properties that regularly deliver great service. TripAdvisor is proud to play this integral role in helping travellers feel more confident in their booking decisions.”

The Certificate of Excellence accounts for the quality, quantity and recency of reviews submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period.
