Batumi hotels deprived of stars

Batumi hotels Era Palace and Neptune have had their global star certificates revoked. The organization which awards quality certificates has removed these hotels from 4 star hotels list because of complaints of guests and the inability of the management of the hotels to meet representatives of Global Star management.

The Neptune management conceded that it did not satisfy the demands of four star hotels, whereas Era Palace management did not agree with the decision.

Adjara's tourism department welcomed the entry of the global star rating system in the region last year. However hotel owners now complain that global star is charging a high price for inclusion in the list.
