The long-awaited vacation is approaching. Perhaps you are planning to go on a trip with the whole family. Many tourists have a very important question: should you start booking a hotel and transfer yourself or should you entrust this task to an experienced tour operator?

In the first case, you can save a lot, and in the second, you can entrust professionals with the selection of a place to stay for the duration of your vacation, but here you often run the risk of getting a "pig in a poke" in the form of a voucher with incomprehensible abbreviations and designations of numbers.

Sometimes, not understanding what type of room you have been sold leads to unpleasant surprises upon arrival at the resort.

In this article, Kidpassage will help you understand the most common terms associated with the star rating of hotels, and also show you how to determine the room categories in hotels by abbreviations.

Hotel categories by stars

To begin with, let's figure out how the star rating of hotels is determined. Typically, this is a conventional term used to refer to the level of service that a hotel can provide.

The Star System is the European hotel qualification system introduced by the World Tourism Organization. According to its policy, hotels are divided into five categories: from 1 to 5 stars. The system is widely used in,, China, Brazil, in most European and other countries of the world.

And the countries of Asia also have this classification, but the stars here are greatly overestimated in comparison with similar European hotels.

Here, hotel owners often assign stars to themselves. In addition, hoteliers sometimes practice understating hotel categories in order to avoid higher taxes.

According to the European system, it was believed that the maximum number of hotel stars could be 5. But relatively recently, new categories of hotels have appeared: 6 and even 7 stars. Let's determine how many stars hotels have.

Uncategorized hotels

This is the cheapest place to stay. In the worst case, it can be a barrack-type room with many beds. Hostels also belong to this category.

Most likely, here you will have to sleep next to strangers. Occasionally, however, this list includes hotels with a fairly high level of service, but the lack of stars in this case is due to the reluctance of the administration to spend time and money to assign the hotel an international category.

1 and 2 star hotels

This type of hotel is similar to a large hostel, with rooms no more than 8-10 m2. Conveniences are likely to be located on the floor (their number is determined based on one bathroom for five rooms).

The rooms have a minimum of furniture. There are no swimming pools, restaurants, parking lots on the territory. In some cases, a bar or canteen may be open.

If they change bed linen, then no more than once a week. This is the cheapest accommodation option for unpretentious tourists who plan to spend most of their time outside the hotel.

3 stars

Hotels in this category have larger rooms and a higher level of service. There must be refrigerators, minibars, and bathrooms. It is stipulated that bed linen and towels are changed every day. A hairdryer and iron are available upon request. On the territory, as a rule, there is a restaurant, parking, sometimes even a swimming pool.

4 stars

Rooms are from 14 m2. The level of service and comfort in such hotels is higher. The bathroom must have toiletries: soap, shampoo, shower gel, which are changed every day.

There is a safe, table, wardrobe, TV, air conditioning. Linen change and cleaning are also carried out every day. The territory (when it comes to resort hotels) is a whole complex where there are parking lots, saunas, swimming pools, tennis courts, restaurants and cafes, and a separate infrastructure for children. In hotels of the category "4 stars" the service of delivery of food to the room is provided.

5 stars

The rooms are larger. There must be at least four restaurants with different cuisines on the territory. Visitors have a number of privileges, they can use the infrastructure for free.

6-7 stars

A very high class of hotels, where one day of stay can cost from several thousand dollars. For this money, you will receive both the royal apartments and round-the-clock service with the services of a personal chef, driver, butler. There are no more than a dozen hotels of this class in the world.

Classification of rooms in hotels in Turkey

Along with hotels that are rated from 1 to 5 stars, many have club hotels (Holliday Villages) or tourist villages all over the place.

This is a kind of separate "caste". For their designation, the abbreviations HV1 or HV2 are used. Accommodation of guests takes place in cottages or bungalows. Such boarding houses are distinguished by a large territory with many trees, flowers and other vegetation.

HV1 - corresponds to hotels with 4-5 stars, but the apartments are not very large in size. HV2 - corresponds to hotels with 3-4 stars.

More recently, this region has appeared an additional class of hotels, which is designated by the letter "S", which means "special".

For the most part, such boarding houses are located in historical places (for example, they can often be found on the list) and correspond to 4-5 stars. They differ in small rooms, few staff, small restaurant and no pool.

Hotel classification in Greece

In some cities and in certain ones, their own classification of hotels has been preserved, which is indicated by Latin letters: L, A, B, C, D, E.

On the facade, along with the stars familiar to Europeans, there will be letters:

De Luxe or L - corresponds to 5 stars;
A - corresponds to 4 stars;
B - corresponds to 3 stars;
С - corresponds to 2 stars;
D, E - corresponds to 1 star.

Explanation of the category of rooms in hotels

If you are booking a room and at the same time comfort, the view from the window and the type of accommodation are very important for you, then you should figure out what abbreviations and expressions mean, which are usually called categories of rooms in a hotel.

At the stage of choosing, you should decide what is especially important for you: the landscape that opens from the window, an extra bed, or you want to live in a big fun company. Or maybe all the parameters combined?

When booking a hotel, the purpose, duration of your trip, as well as the length of your stay in the hotel play a major role.

For example, if you are going to spend only a few days in any country or city, then it is quite enough to order a standard room type. But if you are planning a longer trip, then you should pay attention to the apartments with an increased level of comfort.

Below is the decoding of designations that indicate the features of hotel rooms.

Hotel room categories by size and composition

Apartment- apartments. At its core, it is an apartment with several rooms and a kitchen.
Balcony- the room has a balcony.
Connected rooms- means there are adjoining rooms.
Business- numbers intended for work. There are office equipment and the Internet.
BDR, BDRM (bedroom)- the room has a bedroom.
De luxe- a room with a more chic interior, usually consisting of several rooms.
Duplex- it is assumed that the apartment consists of two floors. Perfect for a large company or a family with children.
Family room- usually such a room is larger than a standard one, it is most in demand among married couples with children.
Family studio- two-room family suite.
Honeymoon room- room for newlyweds.
President- the most luxurious apartments of the boarding house. The presidential apartment consists of several rooms, a living room, an office, and there are at least two bathrooms.
STD (standard)- a one-room suite, most often with an entrance hall, a bathroom and a balcony.
Studio- a room where the living room is combined with the kitchen.
Superior- superior room, which differs in size. The superior room type has the same basic features as the standard, but it has a higher quality finish, design, it can be furnished with more refined furniture and modern technology. The view from the window usually opens onto the sea, garden or other attractive objects.

If you are traveling with children, then it is best to choose Apartment or Family studio, as they provide additional sleeping places, and sometimes even separate rooms for children. In the apartments, you can prepare your own meals in the kitchen.

It may not be very convenient with children in standard rooms due to their small area and the difficulty of installing an extra bed or folding bed.

Types of hotel accommodation by location

Rooms can be classified by type of accommodation, as well as location within the complex. This classification is indicated by a letter abbreviation. Let's take a look at some of them:

BGL, BG (Bungalow)- bungalow. As a rule, a one- or two-story separate building.
Cabana- bungalows on the beach or by the pool.
Chale- an annex or a separate small house.
Cottage- a cottage.
Executive Floor- an entire floor with a high level of service.
HV (Holiday Village)- a club hotel where guests live in bungalows or cottages.
MB (Main Building)- the main building of the hotel.
Villa- villa.

For boarding houses located in seaside resorts, the classification is relative to the coastline. The first coastal line - the hotel is located directly on the beach and has access to its own beach.

Second coastline - to the beach you have to go across the road, promenade or the territory of neighboring hotel complexes.

Classification of rooms in hotels by view from the window

It is also customary to classify rooms by their view from the window. It is quite simple to figure it out: the first letter indicates where the windows are facing, and the second, the letter "V" (view), is the view. Be sure to pay attention to this when booking.

Abbreviation	Full title	Description of the view from the window
ROH	Run of the house	The view from the window is not specified
Gv	Garden View	The windows overlook the garden
CV	City view	The city is visible from the windows
IV	Inside View	The windows overlook the courtyard of the hotel

SV	Sea view	From the windows you can see the sea
SSV	Sea side view	Windows are directed towards the sea
OV	Ocean view	From the windows you can see the ocean

Room types by number of people

In addition, there is a classification of hotel apartments according to the number of people who can live in the room. There are the following types of hotel accommodation:

Abbreviation	Full title	Accommodation type description
SGL	Single	Single occupancy
DBL	Double, double twin	Double occupancy. This type of accommodation provides one double bed or two separate ones.
TRPL	Triple	Triple occupancy. Usually it is a double room with an extra fold-out bed or sofa. Perfect for a family traveling with a child.
QDPL	Quadruple	Quadruple accommodation. Great for a family of two parents and two children.
Apt	Apartment	A room in which there are from 2 to 5 main rooms. Assumes accommodation for 4 to 10 guests.

When accommodating with children, you will be offered combined accommodation options. As a rule, these are one- or two-room suites, such as Standard, Family Room or Apartment:

Abbreviation	Full title	Accommodation type description
SGL + CHD	Single + child	Single room for an adult and a child
SGL + 2 CHD	Single +2 children	Single room for an adult and two children
DBL + CHD	Double + child	Double room for two adults and a child up to 12 years old
DBL + 2 CHD	Double + 2 children	Double room for two adults and two children up to 12 years old
DBL + 2 CHD (2-5)	Double + 2 children	Double room for 2 adults and 2 children from 2 to 5 years old
DBL + EXB + CHD	Double + extra bed + child	Room for three adults and a child, with the provision of an extra bed
TRPL + 2 CHLD	Triple +2 children	Room for three adults and two children
4 AD + 1 CHD (2-5)	Quadriple + child (2-5)	Room for four adults and a child from 2 to 5 years old

If the voucher or hotel reservation says "extra bed", then always specify what this means in a particular case. After all, it can be a bed, a sofa, a folding bed or even a simple mattress.

Some additional designations that are used when classifying the accommodation of guests in a hotel:

ExB (extra bed) - the possibility of providing an extra bed.
ADL is an adult. Usually, an adult is considered to be a person over 12 years old.
CH - child 6-12 years old.
ch - child under 6 years old.
inf (infant) - an infant, a child under two years old.

If you go on vacation with your child, while his age requires more comfortable conditions, then when choosing a home, you need to take into account some aspects.

Be sure to pay attention to:

how the hotel is located in relation to the sea, station, center. What transfer options does it have in case you need to get to the train station, airport or hospital;
what rooms the hotel offers and is it possible to put an extra bed;
what amenities are in the rooms;
is there a children's menu in the restaurant, is there a children's animation, a children's club, babysitting services;
what is the area near the hotel, are there any rides for children and other entertainments;
what is the beach near the hotel. For a holiday with children, it is desirable that the beach is sandy, with a convenient entry into the water;
what kind of pool is on the territory of the hotel. It is desirable that it be heated;
what additional services are there (for example, laundry, dry cleaning, babysitting);
is there a medical center or doctor nearby;
how noisy it gets in the evenings.

As a rule, hotels with 4 stars and higher correspond well to the points described above.

When accommodating with children, it is important to know some of the rules that are set by the hotels themselves. For example, the most important detail is the cost of accommodation with children, which must be clarified on the hotel booking website.

Usually children under two years of age are considered "infants" and will not be charged for them. Children from 2 to 5 years old can also check in for free if no extra bed is installed.

If the child is over five years old and requires an extra bed or sofa, then the fee is about half the cost for an adult tourist. Children over 12 years old are considered adults and will have to be charged the full price for them.

Hello friends! 🙂 When can a person need hotel accommodation? Think only on vacation? But no. It happens that even in your city there is a need to rent a hotel room. It happens. ... We will not delve into the details, the reasons are different for everyone.

Hotel room with a view of the courtyard

What is the greatest value of a hotel room?

So, what guests value in hotel accommodation - it all depends on the purpose for which they came to a particular city or country. Different people have different priorities:

View from windows- for vacationers intending to lead an imposing lifestyle, to be not only on the beach, but also to enjoy the comfort inside the premises.
total area- important for families with children.
Number of rooms- business people prefer the presence of a bedroom, as well as a separate room such as a study.
Floor- it is important for someone to be on the upper tiers of the building, someone prefers a low location.

We do not talk about such moments as the level of service and the quality of everything that is inside, since it depends on the level of the hotel itself, that is, how many stars it has been assigned.

Since we need to learn more about the Standard Room Land View category (as mentioned above, this type of accommodation means that hotel guests will contemplate its nearby views), let's try to guess what might be in your field of vision if you go out onto the balcony ...

View of the surroundings from the room located on the 8th floor

Standard Room Land View - standard room with a view of the hotel's surroundings

With a little thought, you will say - so in the vicinity of the hotel there can be both the sea and the ocean. There are so many wonderful hotels located right on the coast.

The 5-star level does not imply this type of accommodation, so you will not only have a view of the prosaic area, but also the level of hotel service below 5 stars. Don't be alarmed, this is a very decent quality, just not a luxury.

By the way, we are talking about a Standard room with a view of the surroundings, but there may be other types of rooms with local landscapes from the windows:

Deluxe room land view - improved deluxe;
Family room land view - family;
Promo room land view - promo category number;
Single Room Land View - a single room with an overview of the surroundings, etc.

Who needs a home with a view of the surrounding area?

Let's go back to the beginning of our story and remember that a hotel may be needed not only by a vacationer, but also by a business traveler who, for example, came to a business forum. Whether he will be confused by the view of the surroundings - of course not. ... He will only spend the night in the room and put himself in order.

Now about vacationers - housing of this type is definitely more budgetary. ... The reasons are as follows:

The hotel will be located far from the sea.
From the window you will see a road, ordinary buildings or just a field.
Parking lot or dumpsters may be caught.
Perhaps you will see the courtyard and outbuildings of the hotel.

Pros of the Standard Room Land View

The positive aspects include the fact that rooms of this type are mainly located in the main building, all the necessary infrastructure of the hotel is practically nearby.

Direct view of the surroundings and lateral sea view

By the way, the surroundings are also different:

you can observe the well-groomed, pleasant-looking hotel territory with an abundance of greenery and flowering plants;
if you're lucky, the Land View may be with a direct view of the hotel territory and the side of the sea;
and if you are even more lucky, the room will be quiet, since the surroundings will be calm.

That's all. Comfort for you both on a business trip and on vacation. Always be healthy! 🙂
