AAA Tourism owns and manages, on behalf of Australia's Auto Clubs (RACV, NRMA etc), Australia's official STAR Rating Scheme which provides consistent STAR Ratings for approximately 10,000 accommodation properties located throughout Australia.

STAR Ratings play an important role in the Australian tourism industry's commitment to deliver quality visitor experiences. AAA Tourism has developed this Scheme into one of the world's leading accommodation quality certification schemes. Over 500 criteria are used to assess a property and determine its Rating between one and five STARS.

Most Budget Motels properties have star ratings with the option of placing the star rating on the listing in their motel webpage.
