Travelife Accommodation Sustainability Certification Standard Reviews

Travelife is committed to providing a robust and reliable accommodation certification that helps accommodations providers independently verify their sustainability credentials in areas that are important to consumers and travel companies, and in ways that have real-world impacts on environmental and social performance.

The exact process differs for each review depending on the purpose and scope. Please visit the Travelife Certification Requirements section of this page for more information.

We began certifying against the revised Travelife Accommodation Certification Standard Version 3.0  in January 2024. In September 2025 we made small amendments to the indicators in order to incorporate some standard ISO terminology, but this did not in anyway change the meaning of any part of the Standard or how compliance is assessed. That means that from 19th September 2025 we are certifying against the Travelife Accommodation Certification Standard Version 3.1.

The version we use on a day-to-day basis to carry out certification activities is called the Travelife Certification Requirements. We made some small changes to the Travelife Certification Requirements in spring 2026 to clarify and consolidate some of the requirements. These changes are reflected in the Travelife Certification Requirements Version 1.1 which is used for all inspection audits (certification attempts) that start after 30th June 2026. Inspections audits that start before 1st July 2026 are carried out using Version 1.0.

You can view the Travelife Certification Requirements here and you will find that we are using a transition version which shows Version 1.0 whilst also reflecting the changes in Version 1.1. From 1st July 2027, this transition version will be removed from circulation so that only the Travelife Certification Requirements Version 1.1 will be available. This timeframe allows for properties working on post-audit improvements related to Version 1.0 to still find all the information they need on our website. All post-audit improvements related to Version 1.0 should be fully resolved before 1st July 2027.

It is important to remember that these changes did not result in any changes to the actual Travelife Standard so we will continue to use the Travelife Accommodation Sustainability Certification Standard Version 1.1 both before, during and after this transition period.

The Travelife Accommodation Sustainability Standard Version 3.1 is next due for a formal review in 2029.
