What is the international hotel star rating system?

You can find the star rating system at hotels across the world. Not all hotels have them, but if they do, you can generally stereotype a sense of how they will be. While stereotypes may be incorrect, the hotel star rating system is usually accurate. Further since there are numerous organizations and countries that manage their own system, it’s not entirely the same across the world, however, you’re likely to get a similar level of service.

The system goes one from one to five, with the latter usually being the most expensive. However, this can vary by location, time of year, and whether you can score that special deal. It’s often best to book as early as possible for the cheapest rate, regardless of the star rating. There are also half stars given, so a hotel could be a 0.5 star or a 4.5 star.

Basically as you go from one to five stars, the luxury goes up, as do the amenities and service. To compare it to a plane, and don’t take it literally, consider it like an economy seat, economy plus, business, first class and private jet. Here’s a breakdown:

★ – Basic rooms, private or shared bathroom, vending machine

★★ – Basic rooms, private bathroom, color TV, restaurant/bar on-site

★★★ – Multiple room types, color TV, restaurant, gym, business center

★★★★ – Multiple rooms and suites, restaurants/bars, gym, swimming pool, business center, concierge

★★★★★ – Most luxurious accommodations with all the above and more
