Q. I am working on my term paper and I need to know the difference in hotel categories in Spain. It is difference between 5.4.3.2.1 stars hotels. A. European hotel ratings are designed to be objective and quantifiableâbased on, for instance, the number of languages the staff speaks, room size, and ventilation. This sometimes leads to surprising results. For example, the Parador de Granada, with its historic allure and stunning location in the Alhambra Gardens, is regularly ranked as one of the best hotels in Spain by T+L readers, but it receives only four stars, not five, under Spainâs rating system, because it lacks conveniences such as an elevator and a swimming pool. Basically, stars in Europe denote minimum standards for facilities and services provided; more stars = more amenities. But wait. Each country uses its own criteria. Consequently, three stars in England is not quite the same as three stars in Spain. Worse: three stars in Barcelona is not the same as three st...

I would suggest some places we stayed, but we paid much more than the $ you speak o...

Q. For any given hotel, who decides how many stars they get? Is there a way to contribute to the rating process? What about reviews at websites like Fodor's? A. Unfortunately, there's no 'standard' that every guide/site/etc. uses -- each publication ranks properties however they see fit. So, theoretically, one organization may rank a hotel as a 5-star, but a different company may rank the same hotel as a 4-star, depending on their own system. However, you'll find that most companies use the following when determing how to rank a hotel: 1 star = Economy 2 stars = Value 3 stars = Quality 4 stars = Superior 5 stars = Exceptional Check this link over at Wikipedia for a good rundown of the ratings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_%28classification%29#General_meaning_of_hotel_rating_by_stars What is the difference between a diamond and star rating for a hotel?
