Priceline's *-level system is a riddle to me:

Renaissance Munich is 20 years old decor and never ever any 4* level (no A/C, bathrooms with broken tiles etc.) - in priceline US it would be 3,5* as this level is supposed to be "older" or "not the most modern" 4* level?

Courtyard by Marriott in Berlin is a 3* Hotel but in all websites rates as 4* -> they use US-Standard that Courtyard never can be a 4*??

Hilton Park is 5* now but in the US none of the Hilton would be 5* ever?

Marriott Frankfurt is 5* but in the US none of the Marriotts would be 5* ever?

Westin Grand Munich and Frankfurt are both 5* but in the US none of the Westins would be 5* ever?

Why can't they use same standard around the world?
