Why are 5 star hotels different in different countries?
Because the procedure for assigning stars to hotels is regulated by the hotel standard, issued back in 1989. Since then, the standard of living has increased greatly and those points of this standard that in the past could be classified as luxury are no longer so today. For this reason, a 5 * hotel can sometimes match the quality of service to hotels with fewer stars. Also, in a number of countries, the Ministry of Tourism can assign the star status based on national standards.
Late check out and early check in
If the hotel has low occupancy, "late checkout" is possible. At some hotels in The Netherlands, it is free until 14:00. Sometimes for an additional payment of 20-50% of the daily rate.
