Establishments offering accommodation assessed by the AA are rated under a set of common quality standards agreed by the AA and the UK tourist authorities (Visit Britain, Visit Scotland and Visit Wales).

The common standards make types of accommodation easy to understand and give you confidence that establishments can meet the standards you require.

Accommodation is assessed under three broad categories: Hotel, Guest Accommodation and Budget Hotel.

Hotel and guest accommodation are divided into sub-categories or designators that provide more information about the type of establishment.

AA inspectors annually award Rosettes to restaurants for the quality of their food. Most Star-rated hotels have their own restaurants and we also inspect these. Not all receive an AA Rosette award, but they will generally serve enjoyable food of a reasonable standard. One rosette refers to excellent restaurants that stand out in their local area. The food is prepared with care, understanding and skill, using good-quality ingredients.
