Hotels

Hotels in Bhutan are rated according to a National 5 Star rating System. All Tour Operators are required to provide their guests with a minimum of 3 Star accommodations so you can be assured of your comfort. Most hotels provide their guests with Television, Room Service, Fitness Centers, Spas and Wi-Fi. However the exact services available will vary from hotel to hotel.

In order to ensure that all visitors to Bhutan receive high quality accommodations and services we have initiated a 5-Star Rating System that classifies the various hotels and resorts operating in the country. The system is referred to as the ‘Hotel Star System’ and it ranks the accommodations on a scale of 1-5 stars based on an exhaustive set of criteria.

Based on this rating system, establishments are classified into:

1. Farm-stays
2. Home-stays
3. Resorts
4. Hotels
5. Guesthouses

Guest Houses

There are various Guesthouses located around Bhutan. They are graded on the same scale as hotels. The exact services available can vary among Guesthouses.
