tähtiluokituksella

Tähtiluokitus refers to a system used in Finland to classify hotels and other accommodation establishments. It is a voluntary system administered by the Finnish Hospitality Association (SMY) and is designed to provide consumers with clear and comparable information about the quality and services offered by different establishments. The classification system uses a star rating from one to five, with five stars representing the highest level of quality and services.

The criteria for each star rating are based on a comprehensive set of requirements covering various aspects of the accommodation. These include the physical condition of the building, the size and amenities of rooms, the availability and quality of services such as reception, breakfast, and dining, as well as facilities like Wi-Fi, parking, and accessibility. Higher star ratings require a greater number of services and a higher standard of amenities and facilities.

For example, a one-star hotel might offer basic accommodation with limited services, while a five-star hotel is expected to provide luxurious rooms, a wide range of high-quality services, excellent dining options, and exceptional customer service. The classification system aims to ensure a consistent standard across the industry and helps travelers make informed choices based on their expectations and budget. The Finnish Hospitality Association conducts regular inspections to ensure that establishments maintain their star rating.
