Our hotel assessment standard

The things that make a good hotel stay.

Our assessors focus on six parts of the guest experience. Each category has minimum standards, so a serious failure in one area cannot simply be cancelled out by excellence elsewhere.

Welcome

Arrival, first impression, reception and the way the guest is received.

Service

Helpful, professional and attentive service throughout the stay.

Facilities

The facilities promised by the hotel, their condition, cleanliness and availability.

Bed

Cleanliness, comfort, linen and the immediate sleeping environment.

Sleep & Stay

Comfort, noise, temperature, room condition and the overall overnight experience.

Breakfast

Quality, presentation, choice, service and the finish to the stay.

The same standard applies whether a hotel applied or was selected by us.
