All the hotels in the Expert opinion section are tested by our teams with a single aim, to offer you transparent and objective information, even if there can always be a touch of subjectivity, especially with regard to the decoration.
Tastes and colors…
How do we go about rating a tourist hotel?
It all depends first of all on the category in which it falls!
In France, starred hotels (from 3 to 5 stars in our selections) meet very specific specifications (240 points!) Established by Atout France, the national tourism development agency to which hoteliers apply before to be inspected by COFRAC (French Accreditation Committee).
Abroad, the conditions for awarding stars vary from country to country.
The award of stars is also the result of a voluntary process on the part of establishment owners.
A hotel can therefore correspond in its offer of services to a 4-star, without having them.
This is where the expertise of our journalists, experienced in the exercise takes all its value!
Whether it is a country inn, an urban boutique hotel with ten rooms, a family resort or a 5-star seaside resort, our Expert opinions are suitable for all the categories.
Like you, we are travelers, the disappointments you dread are the ones that interest us.
