How are Hotels Rating?

By Fiona Gray


There are certain groups of people who travel on a frequent basis. For example, retirees like to take holidays to countries and resorts they dreamed of visiting in their working life. Many professionals to are required to travel to meet clients and to attend more formal business meetings. Accommodation is, of course, a crucial element of any holiday and the good news is that thanks to the industry being as competitive as it is, there are more and more features being made available for prospective guests.

There are a range of types of hotels such as budget, luxury, airport and convention. However, they are more importantly classified by their star rating. The criteria for this star rating includes customer service, location, facilities and cost. Commercial hotels tend to be located in the heart of the city due to the type of the customers they are. They are more expensive as they like to travel in comfort and so are willing to pay more.

These categories then determine the rating of the hotel. The rating system was devised and evolved by various countries to help customers decide on what kind of hotel and service they want. They are made official by private agencies or governments., depending on the country.

All travellers have a good idea of what a 5* hotel typically entails and if they can afford it, will more than likely opt for the comfort it provides. Taking a quick study on what the other four stars generally offers will make life easier for you when seeking appropriate accommodation too, however.

Having knowledge of what features and facilities a prospective hotel has is always an advantage and limits any 'surprises'. It also cuts out a lot of research time. The star rating gives you a good idea of what to expect.
