AAA

The AAA Diamond Program is designed primarily for traditional, professionally managed lodging properties with consistent service and operational standards. As a result, vacation rentals—including those listed on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO—are generally not evaluated or designated within the Diamond Program. These types of rentals typically lack the standardized staffing, amenities, and operating procedures that AAA inspections assess. Travelers considering vacation rentals should rely on platform reviews, host ratings, and other third‑party resources, as AAA Diamond designations do not apply. AAA’s focus remains on hotels, resorts, bed and breakfasts, and similar professionally managed accommodations that can be evaluated consistently across properties and markets.
