Hotel Class Explained
Standard

Good, basic amenities, well kept and often characterful. Hotels are often small,
centrally located and offer a personal experience. Bathrooms are en-suite (unless
specified).
Home Stays
As far as we are aware, there are no * ratings awarded for home stays as yet. As
the title suggests, you will actually be a guest in someone’s home. We often use
home stays when trekking and visiting minority tribal villages, allowing our guests
to really experience life in these more remote destinations. We also feature a handful
of city centre home stays. The standard of facilities varies depending on location.
Why don't we use the more recognisable * rating?
Quite simply because there is a huge disparity between grading systems in each country.
There is no international governing body and this leads to a vast difference in
each * category from one country to the next.
