WHAT IS THE CLASSIFICATION OF FURNISHED TOURISM ACCOMMODATIONS?

What is the classification of furnished tourist accommodation ?

The classification of furnished tourist accommodation, like the classification of other tourist accommodation, aims to indicate to the customer a level of comfort and service.

 

The classification has 5 categories ranging from 1 to 5 stars, it is voluntary and is valid for 5 years.

 

The classification grid contains 133 criteria divided into 3 main chapters:

  • Equipment
  • Customer Services
  • Accessibility and sustainable development

(Arrêté du 24 novembre 2021 modifiant l’arrêté du 2 août 2010 fixant les normes et la procédure de classement des meublés de tourisme)

Why get your property classified ? 

Classification is not compulsory but offers several advantages:

  1. More favourable taxation
    Under the micro-BIC tax regime, income received in 2026 benefits from a 50% flat-rate allowance, with an annual threshold of €83,600 for classified furnished holiday rentals. For unclassified furnished holiday rentals, the allowance is 30%, with a threshold of €15,000.
  2. Adapted social security contributions
    Social security contributions are payable when annual rental income exceeds €23,000. Owners of classified furnished holiday rentals who qualify for the micro-social scheme benefit from a rate of 6% on total rental income, excluding the vocational training contribution.
  3. Potentially reduced tourist tax
    Classification allows a rate based on the number of stars to be applied per taxable person per night, instead of a rate proportional to the accommodation price. Depending on local rates and the price of the stay, this calculation can be more advantageous.
  4. A possible exemption from CFE
    An exemption from the business premises tax (cotisation foncière des entreprises — CFE) may apply, unless the local authorities decide otherwise.
  5. An official quality benchmark
    Awarded following an inspection visit and valid for 5 years, the 1-to-5-star classification assesses facilities and services against a national assessment framework. It helps showcase your accommodation and informs travellers about its level of comfort.
  6. The option to accept Chèques-Vacances
    Classification allows you to apply for ANCV registration, subject to the other eligibility requirements. Registration is free; fees apply when redeeming Chèques-Vacances holiday vouchers.
