Activity Rating

Questions

Before you apply.

Anything not answered here, ask the rating team.

How is the annual fee worked out?

By plan. Each activity pays one annual fee, whatever its size: USD 500 on Basic and USD 600 on Enhanced.

What is the difference between Basic and Enhanced?

Enhanced includes everything in Basic, and adds: Online training for staff (2 staff); 6-months marketing promotions (IG, FB, X, LinkedIn); Onboarding Consultation Call (60-min strategy session).

What does renewal cost?

Renewals are priced 15% below the rate card.

Does all of our food have to be Halal?

No. Bronze asks for Halal-certified meals or snacks, from a vending machine at least, and Gold for a food outlet with a Halal-certified section. No level requires all food and beverage to be Halal.

Does a Crescent Rating endorse the activity as a whole?

No. The assessment covers the availability and quality of Muslim-specific facilities and services only, such as prayer space and Halal food. It is not an endorsement of the establishment beyond them.

How do we apply?

Tell the rating team about the activity through the enquiry form and they will open the application with you. We then audit the activity and accredit it at the level the standard supports, and the annual fee falls due once the level is settled.

How long does accreditation take?

Typically two to three weeks from application to accreditation, depending mostly on how complete the application is and how soon the audit can be scheduled.

How long is a Crescent Rating valid?

A Crescent Rating is valid for one year, and is renewed annually.

Can we move up a level before renewal?

Yes. Ask the rating team for a reassessment once the requirements holding your level down are in place. A reassessment carries a fee, based on what needs to be re-evaluated.

Disclaimer. The scope of our evaluation is strictly limited to the availability and quality of Muslim-specific facilities and services offered by the establishments. This includes, but is not limited to, prayer rooms, Halal food options, ablution facilities, and any other amenities designed to cater to the needs of Muslim individuals. Our assessment does not extend to, nor should it be interpreted as, an endorsement or approval of the establishment's broader perspectives or philosophies. Our focus is exclusively on the facilities provided to Muslim travelers, ensuring they can observe their religious duties and preferences comfortably within the establishment's premises.
