How We Rate
Official hotel classifications largely describe what a property provides. SWISS RATED evaluates how well the experience actually works. Every published review is based on a first-hand stay by a member of our review team and scored against one consistent framework.
Room
Layout, condition, furniture, lighting, storage and functionality.
Sleep
Mattress, pillows, temperature control, blackout and noise.
Service
Professionalism, speed, consistency and problem resolution.
Cleanliness
Room condition and housekeeping execution.
Location
Convenience, surroundings, accessibility and destination relevance.
Design
Architecture, interiors, atmosphere and coherence.
Food
Breakfast quality, restaurants and in-room dining where experienced.
Amenities
Pools, gyms, spas and facilities relative to the property's category.
Value
How convincingly the actual experience justifies the price and positioning.
The overall SWISS RATED Score is calculated automatically from category scores. Editorial override is possible, and category scores are always preserved.
Swiss Rated Stars are our proprietary five-star editorial system. They reflect the independent SWISS RATED editorial assessment and are entirely separate from official hotel classifications.
A five-star hotel does not automatically receive five Swiss Rated Stars.
