Classification of Accommodation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All lodging facilities in Iceland have the opportunity to be
classified. The classification in voluntary and is divided into five
categories, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 stars, and is by no means an
allembracing assessment of the quality of the accommodation in
question.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is solely based on factors which can be objectively measured. The
grading consists of more than 100 different items. The Icelandic
Tourist Board is in charge of the classification. Look for the
blue-red sign placed near the entrance which indicates the present
classification of the facility.
While hotels and guesthouses are not obligated to apply for a star
ranking, some hotels have not applied for classifications or are in
the process of applying.
