To put your mind at ease, it is always recommended to book with a star graded establishment.
The TGCSA's (Tourism Grading Council of South Africa) star grading is an independent assessment of what guests can expect to find at an accommodation provider. It's based on the overall quality, but also takes into account the services and facilities you'd expect to find at that particular star graded establishment.
The higher the star rating the better you will say, but do you really know what to expect in each category? To familiarise yourself with the difference between Lodges, B&B, Guest House etc. and the requirements for each star grading, please read this link, categories and grading criteria.
By the way, the grading has to be renewed on a yearly basis to be allowed to advertise accordingly. If in doubt, ask your establishment for the latest grading certificate or check it on the TGCSA's website
