Join the VisitEngland Guest Accommodation Scheme
Full membership
This involves an overnight assessment testing all services, resulting in a star rating if the criteria is met. When you apply to join the scheme, you’ll be inspected and rated by a professional assessor who will visit overnight as a mystery guest. The following morning the inspector will discuss their visit and give you constructive feedback.
As well as your establishment having a page on RatedTrips.com, you'll have access to VisitEngland logos and a range of signage, and marketing benefits.
Accreditation-only membership
This level of VisitEngland membership has been designed to provide accommodation businesses with a robust and dependable method to demonstrate that they are operating in a safe, clean and legal way. Initially launched in 2010, the scheme has been regularly revisited to ensure it covers the latest legislation.
VisitEngland works with destinations and local assessment organisations to offer this accreditation scheme on a local level. However, if a business is in an area without a local scheme, they can apply to VisitEngland directly.
Entry Level Accreditation offers reassurance that the accommodation is safe, clean and legal, but does not include a star rating or quality accreditation, which are available through one of VisitEngland’s range of quality assessment schemes.
