Rating = Stars
The classification of furnished tourist accommodation is assessed by an independent auditor. Using a control grid defined by the State bringing together 112 criteria, the auditor inspects and then submits at the end of his visit his decision to classify your furnished accommodation from 1 to 5 stars. Today, the star rating of tourist accommodation concerns hotels, campsites, residential leisure parks, tourist residences, holiday villages and furnished tourist accommodation.
An important and universal landmark, the stars are recognized by everyone. All classified accommodation is thus evaluated according to the following three main axes:
- equipment,
- the services offered in the establishments,
- best practices in terms of respect for the environment and welcoming customers with disabilities.
The classification is valid for 5 years, it is assigned impartially, by trained auditors, working for approved or accredited inspection bodies. The classification process is clear and takes place according to a strict and identical procedure throughout France, regardless of the type of tourist accommodation.

Labels = Ears, sun, keys…
It is not necessary to have a star rating to obtain a quality label. Obtaining a label can be complementary to a star ranking.
The label allows, for accommodations that obtain it, highlighting a strong and distinctive image. The visual cues are different for everyone (corns for gîtes de France, key for clevacances, etc.). Membership of a label allows you to join a network, whose services vary depending on the label. Training, access to forums, legal aid, reservation systems, etc. are all services offered by the labels.
A label has its own evaluation grid, its commitment charter, its own means of control, some labels also offer promotion and reservation tools the use of which is reserved for members. Before starting a labeling process, be aware that the prices are defined by each label, they are generally composed of membership in the administrative structure of the label (association, federation, etc.), an annual contribution, and a control and follow-up visit price. The validity period of the label also varies.
