Get your MICE hotel Crescent Ratedagainst the CrescentRating Standard for MICE Hotels.
An independent audit of the event side of a hotel that is already Crescent Rated — a prayer room delegates can reach between sessions, Halal-certified event catering, and a water-friendly washroom on the meeting floor — and a Crescent Rating that tells event organizers what the hotel can host.

How is the annual fee worked out?
By plan. Each MICE hotel pays one annual fee, whatever its size: USD 400 on Basic and USD 500 on Enhanced.
What is the difference between Basic and Enhanced?
Enhanced includes everything in Basic, and adds: Online training for event staff (2 staff); 6-months marketing promotions (IG, FB, X, LinkedIn).
What does renewal cost?
Renewals are priced 15% below the rate card.
Does a Crescent Rating endorse the MICE hotel 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 MICE hotel through the enquiry form and they will open the application with you. We then audit the MICE hotel 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.
