This catalogue shows detailed criteria used to classify a hotel in each of the five star categories of the Hotelstars Union’s classification system.

Hotel classification systems have been questioned on some occasions due to the loss of credibility of stars as a quality standard and because they are sometimes subject to outdated criteria. In any case, this system allows reducing the adverse effects of asymmetric information, characterized in a market such as the hospitality industry.

This study aims, firstly, to determine whether hotel categories worldwide can be inferred from features that are not taken into account by the institutions in charge of assigning such categories

The present study aimed to understand the relationships between the various kinds of feedback received by hospitality operators. Information from guests, experts, and internal sources are often received, valued, and processed in various ways.
