On the easyjetwebsitethehotelisdescribed as 4 star but the manager in reply to reviews states 3 star Therefore I phoned easyjet and changed the booking to another hotel with better reviews. This cost £400 even though prices on website are very similar. Is there anything I can do to claim back the extra money?
If you'd gathered actual evidence that the hotel was officially rated lower than presented by EasyJet Holidays (something more definitive than a manager's comment on a review site!), then you could have taken this up with them and requested a (free) move to a hotel of the standard you'd paid for, based on quantifiable measures, but if you chose to believe reviews and rebooked yourself then there's no comeback now....
TUI use 'T' ratings.
This is what Jet2 say about their accommodation ratings:How we grade accommodation: All the accommodation featured on our website and in our brochure has been carefully chosen to ensure that you are able to get the very best out of your holiday.I'd be surprised if Easyjet were any different.
Although the local authorities in each country set standards for official hotel star/quality ratings, we know standards can vary between hotel and apartment accommodation of the same official rating in different countries and even in the same country which does not give you a consistent way of comparing accommodation standards.
To help you choose your holiday, therefore, with hotels and apartments we feature our own star ratings to give you a general guide and to help you compare.
Our ratings are based on our knowledge and customer feedback of the facilities, food and service available at the accommodation, as well as the characteristic differences between accommodation types such as apartments and hotels. Our ratings are set using a scale of 2 stars through to 5 stars and represent a range from basic, good value, no-frills accommodation to above average, more comfortable accommodation with a wide range of facilities.0 -
Tour operators often use their own hotel ratings which won't necessarily match the rating on the hotel website.
