​ Understanding Hotel Star Ratings
 

Hotel star ratings are a globally recognized system used to indicate a hotel's quality, cleanliness, amenities, and overall standards. The scale ranges from one to five stars, with one star representing the most basic accommodations and five stars offering the highest level of luxury. Here's a quick overview of what each rating typically entails:

​

• One-Star: Basic, no-frills hotels with minimal amenities and services. Ideal for travelers looking for simple, budget-friendly accommodations.

• Two-Star: Budget-friendly hotels with a few more amenities and services than one-star properties, offering a slightly more comfortable experience.

• Three-Star: Hotels with a nice lobby and common areas.  They sometimes have fitness centers, pools, and additional services. These accommodations are more comfortable and offer conveniences like those found in brands such as Holiday Inn or Best Western.

• Four-Star: Offering more luxurious amenities such as spas, concierges, and valet services. These properties are typically more upscale and provide additional comforts, like those seen in hotels such as Hyatt Regency or Marriott.

• Five-Star: The highest level of luxury, featuring personalized service, lavish rooms, and extensive amenities like fine dining, 24/7 concierge, and exceptional service. Examples include Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons.

Understanding these ratings helps customers make informed decisions and set expectations for the quality of the hotel experience.
