When planning a trip and choosing a hotel or resort most of us review websites and choose only those places that have high rankings or many stars. One question, though: Just what do those rankings or stars mean anyway? What are their standards? Is a 3-star the same regardless if we’re looking at Forbes or Michelin?
Well, the fact of the matter is that not all rankings are alike. In fact, no two rankings are the same. What matters to one reviewer may not mean anything to another. You may think that five-star ranking for a Miami Beach hotel will mean that they have a bunch of complimentary services, but it could simply mean that the hotel staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s an all-inclusive place.
So, how do we read between the lines? How do we make sure that what we want is what we get? Easy. Do your homework. “OK, but what should I be using for research?” you ask. Funny you should ask because in Look Beyond the Rank, we give you some helpful advice. Your selection is only a click away.
Bon voyage!
