What You Need to Know About Hotel Ratings

Hotel ratings differ in different countries. What consists of a five-star hotel rating here in the U.S. is not the same in Italy for example. In America, the most trustworthy sources of hotel ratings are Forbes and AAA. With Forbes, hotels have to meet specific criteria such as greeting guests curbside within a minute and offering tasting samples to guests who order wine by the glass in order to get the highest rating. In Italy, all it takes is a 24-hour reception desk, receptionists that speak three languages and double rooms to get a five-star hotel rating.

Before you book a hotel room, verify where their rating comes from and take that into consideration before you call the accommodation your home away from home. Is the source a privately-owned company? Is it a hotel booking site like Orbitz or Priceline that have their own rating system that are not even published on their sites? Is it from user-generated sites that rely on feedback and reviews. Is it based on the government-run ratings system which is mostly for European hotels with sometimes ratings based on features like air conditioning versus quality.
