The first thing you normally see when you turn off to an establishment is the name sign and sometimes a few stars draped in the colours of our national flag. This gives you confidence that this establishment is remarkable and compile to curtain regulation, but do you really know what the stars mean and what you can expect from this establishment.
Haven’t we seen it so many times that some guests actually expect more from an establishment than what it is graded for, or sometimes are capable to provide? It is very important to know exactly what you can expect from an establishment by knowing its grading, since it will make the stay much more pleasant for you and the management of the establishment.
