The introduction of a rating system provides Whistler visitors with consistent, reliable information on what to expect from a Whistler accommodation.
The accommodation rating system has been divided into distinct property categories to differentiate between Whistler's diverse accommodation types. Different criteria have been developed to establish ratings within each category. The property categories include: Hotels, Condominiums, Townhomes and Executive Homes.
There is also a rating for overall impression. Whistler specific criteria have been included such as proximity to slopes and proximity to village. Criteria have also been developed that is specific to the various property types such as front desk for condos. All properties are assessed based on the set criteria and rated on a scale of 2-5 using a "Peaks" system.
