About IKFT
What We Do
What is IKFT?
IKFT was established to simplify how parents locate hotels that are genuinely welcoming for children — focused on comfort, play, rest, and memories. The service employs structured IKFT Kidmetrix™ checks based on publicly available information.
What We Do
We scan publicly available information to award IKFT Recognized™ status to hotels and resorts. Our structured reviews cover over 215,000 3★, 4★, and 5★ hotels and resorts across 27 countries.
Who It's For
Parents, guardians, and grandparents planning family travel. Anyone who wants clear, independent, structured guidance — not just a checkbox — when choosing a hotel for their family.
Excellence in Every Detail
IKFT Kidmetrix™
IKFT Kidmetrix™ features evaluation from playroom setup to the overall family welcome for genuine experiences.
"A generic checkbox can't confirm the practical, real-world details that make a stay truly work for children."
IKFT Recognized™
Four Tiers of Recognition
