It can feel risky traveling somewhere new. Will it live up to your expectations? Will it be worth it?

Booking.com has come up with a short list of solid choices as part of its 14th annual Traveler Review Awards.

The online travel agency combed more than 370 million verified customer reviews for destinations that "consistently deliver outstanding hospitality and service."

One standout is Fredericksburg, Texas, which Booking.com described as blending "small-town hospitality with a rich cultural heritage," outdoor adventures, farm-to-table dining and other charms in Texas Hill Country.

It was the only destination named among both the "Best Cities for Traveler Hospitality" in America and the world.
