TOP HOTEL RATINGS

Hotel Ratings System Explained


 
Our Golden Key system rates each hotel property on its décor, service, amenities and ambience. The ratings scale ranges from one key (the basics) to five keys (pure luxury).

Our hotel ratings system lets you know exactly what you can expect from a hotel, ensuring that the hotel you book is one you will enjoy.
