One of the choices for a staycation at a hotel is a five-star hotel, because you want to have a fun and unforgettable experience. In choosing a hotel, the rating is usually used as a benchmark.
Even though quoting from The Sun's page, stars are more directed at the facilities offered by the hotel according to experts from Net Voucher Codes. So it does not refer to quality.
"Hotel ratings do not have a specific standard around the world. And, many are only an indicator of facilities, not referring to quality," he said.
It doesn't stop there, he also adds that the hotel rating given may not be genuine, aka exaggerated by certain parties.
"Tour package operators tend to be the most generous parties to give higher stars," he continued.
Check Photos and Guest Reviews
As an additional tip, Andi and Julian Benner-Price, owners of The 25 B&B do Torquay recommend that travelers see photos taken by guests. That's because it is considered honest compared to photos from the inn, which of course takes the best angle before being displayed.
In addition to knowing hotel services, you should also read guest reviews. The more reviews, the better the rating.
