• Star ratings (new rating system): 4****, 3***, 2**, 1*

In terms of technical specifications, it should be noted that class A hotels correspond to 4****, B to 3***, C to 2**, and D and E to 1*. Until completion of the new rating system, some hotels will continue to feature the class-based designation, while others will display star ratings.

Traditional Guesthouses do not follow the new "star" rating system and remain in the old "class designation" one.
