Grading Luxembourg has a wide range of hotels, more than half of which are classified according to the Benelux system. Standard of accommodation is indicated by a row of 3-pointed stars from the highest (5 stars) to the minimum (1 star). However, membership of this scheme is voluntary and there may be first-class hotels which do not have a classification. Benelux star ratings comply with the following criteria: 5-star (H5): Luxury hotels. There are four establishments in this category; 4-star (H4): First-class hotels; 80 per cent of rooms have a private bath. Other amenities include night reception and room service. Around 15 per cent of graded hotels in Luxembourg belong to this category. There are 48 in this grouping; 3-star (H3): Around 50 per cent of rooms have a private bath.
