Have you ever looked at a hotel and noticed it said it is a "three star" or maybe a "four diamond" hotel but the reviews say it is 4.5 stars and wondered how the eff did the hotel get that rating? Welcome to the confusing world of hotel rankings! In this episode we go over what a hotel ranking is and look at the two most popular ones - AAA / CAA Diamond and Forbes Stars. I do go over how the rankings vary from country to country, what each level means, as well as how I go about booking a hotel. If you book hotels for yourself then you will not want to miss this episode!
