How to choose the Star Rating that is right for you
   
         
  Quite simply, the more stars, the higher the overall level of quality you can expect to find. Establishments at higher rating levels also have to meet some additional requirements for facilities.
All properties have to meet an extensive list of minimum requirements before they can be considered for a Star rating. From there, increased levels of quality apply. For instance, you'll find acceptable quality at One Star, good to very good quality at Three Star and exceptional quality at Five Star.		    
         
 
All Star-rated properties will provide the following before they can be considered for a Star rating:
   
         
 
  • High standard of cleanliness throughout
  • Pricing and conditions of booking made clear
  • Local information to help you make the best of your stay
  • Comfortable accommodation with a range of furniture to meet your needs
  • Colour television (where signal is available) at no extra charge
  • Kitchen equipment to meet all essential requirements
