The requirement to leave a deposit is rare. If the guest plans to live in the apartment, then he may be required to provide a security deposit.

This is necessary to compensate in the event that the client damaged the furniture or tried to move out without paying for additional services (SPA procedures, dinner at a restaurant, etc.)

The star rating standards were adopted in 1989 at the session of the World Tourism Organization, but since then the standard of living has increased and options previously classified as luxury have become commonplace. Therefore, 4-star hotels often catch up with 5-star hotels in terms of comfort. In some countries, in addition to the general ones, there are national standards for assigning stars that are advisory in nature.

On the official websites of hotels, the base price is most often offered, while in hotel booking systems (Hotels, Agoda, Booking, Expedia, etc.) there are almost always special offers and discounts. And since Hotelhunter finds and compares prices in all hotel booking systems at once, taking into account promotional and discount offers, prices here may be lower than on the official websites of hotels.
