Hotel rating in Chile

Chile has an official hotel rating system. The classification authority is the National Tourism Board. The classification of hotels in Chile is not mandatory and only about 20% of hotels in Chile use the official rating system, representing around 35% of the total room capacity. All hotels in Chile can apply to be classified.

The clasification system is based on star rating, where 5 star is the highest. The main criteria reffered to for classification are: availability of services, e.g. restaurant facilities, meeting rooms, recreational and parking. At present it is not part of the criteria to evaluate quality of service, infrastructure or minimum requirements. The local hotel association and national tourism administration are working on a plan to review the current classification system to include the mentioned aspects.

Since so limited number of hotels in Chile at present are rated, tourist in many cases have to rely on the hotels own clasiffication or the classifications made by the travel agencies.
