amenities in washrooms, etc. Private baths for all BB rooms is a requirement for a 3 star and
higher rating. Three star properties offer above average facilities and services.
This rating indicates exceptional quality in all areas of facilities and services offering
superior quality throughout the property in areas of guestrooms, bath and common areas. The

Remember, in order to be in a position to be licensed, a property must obtain the “1” star
level in areas of facility requirements (clean, comfortable accommodations). Properties
which do not obtain this level cannot be licensed. Properties that meet the minimum
licensing requirement may request a full rating evaluation and have the opportunity to
achieve between 1 and 5 stars.
