In Reply to: Star/Melati Rating etc posted by Mic on Thursday, 18. May 2006 at 14:01 Bali Time:
hear what your saying, I've check the websites (shocked at what is considered as 3 star!!!)I've stayed at Barong & Bounty & I wouldn't consider them in the same star rating.Barong is budget but that's my personnal opinion.
Travel companies should maybe re-evaluate star ratings & classify them as budget/moderate/superior etc to give travellers a better understanding as to what to expect. Star ratings do vary around the world.
Nothing worst than checking into a hotel that doesn't meet up to your expectation, I've had a few of those....
