Star rating principles of tourist hotels

The star rating obtained by the hotel shows that all the buildings, facilities, equipment and services of the hotel are at the same level. Tourist hotels are composed of several buildings with different building grades or facilities and equipment standards, and the star rating agencies of tourist hotels should assess the star rating according to the actual standards of each building. After star rating, buildings with different star ratings cannot continue to use the same hotel name. Otherwise, the star rating agencies of tourist hotels shall not reply or withdraw the star marks and certificates.

After the hotel obtains the star rating, if the building specifications, facilities, equipment and service items change due to renovation, and the original facilities, equipment, service functions or items are suspended or cancelled, resulting in the failure to meet the original star rating standards, it shall be reported to the star rating agency of the original tourist hotel for review or re-evaluation. Otherwise, the star rating agency of the original tourist hotel should take back the star certificate and logo of the hotel.

Some hotels with outstanding characteristics or highly personalized characteristics can apply for star rating directly to the national tourist hotel star rating agency if their own conditions are different from the provisions of this standard. The national tourist hotel star rating agencies should arrange assessment inspection within one month after receiving the application, give star recognition according to the inspection and evaluation results, and issue corresponding star certificates and signs.
