Traveloka CleanAccommodation

High Hygiene Standard for Comfortable Stay

Cleanliness has always been a must instead of an option in the hospitality industry. With the rising development of COVID-19, we understand that it is of the utmost importance to stay at accommodations with the high hygiene standard.

Introducing CleanAccommodation

To ensure you have the most comfortable stay, we help you identify accommodations that follow hygiene protocols recommended by the government and World Health Organization with a CleanAccommodation badge.

CleanAccommodation badge is given to accommodations that either:

have passed hygiene standards set by the government and have obtained hygiene certification such as CHSE from Indonesia Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, SGClean from the Singapore Government, SHA certificate from Thailand Government, and CAO certificate from the Philippines Department of Tourism.

have complied with the generally accepted hygiene standard recommended by the government and World Health Organization with detailed proof.

To ensure hygiene and safe environment for everyone, the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy launched an initiative for Indonesia's tourist establishment to implement cleanliness, health, safety, and environment (CHSE) protocol.

Traveloka, along with accommodation partners, supports the compliance of the CHSE-based protocols through the CleanAccommodation. Only accommodations that have obtained CHSE certification from the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy will be given the CleanAccommodation badge across Traveloka platforms.

Here is the summary of the cleanliness and hygiene standards criteria applied, as follows:

It is mandatory for accommodation staffs to wear personal protective equipment during every interaction: among staffs, with guests, and during the housekeeping and maintenance of the rooms and common areas of the hotel;
It is mandatory to utilize a contactless thermometer to regularly monitor the health condition of everyone within the accommodation;
It is mandatory to uphold cleanliness and hygiene standard in providing service for guests through a cleanliness protocol during the preparation and serving of foods and beverages, the use of disinfectant for common areas and rooms, and the cleaning and maintenance of common facilities;

SHA certification: The Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) Project.

The Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) certification is an official certification to ensure confidence in the sanitation and safety standards of Thailand's tourism with the purpose of minimizing further transmission risk of COVID-19. This project is a result of collaboration between the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the Ministry of Public Health, the Department of Disease Control, the Department of Health and the Department of Health Service Support, as well as other government bodies and private sector organizations involved in the tourism industry. Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) awards SHA certificates with official serial number to complying companies and establishments, which could be revoked if they fail to consistently comply with SHA standards.

Hotels with SHA certification have followed a series of checklists that need to be fulfilled in order to obtain the certification. The inspection and certification procedures are executed by various boards, associations, and federations. Upon confirmed compliance, hotels will receive SHA certification. SHA standards committee will then conduct random checks for quality assurance purposes.

To access the complete checklist of the criterias used in SHA certification, check SHA Thailand website.

The standards used as a reference in self-assessment by our accommodation partners are extracted with adjustment from several guiding criteria published by the World Health Organization (WHO), limitedly circulated among parties within the tourism industry. The complete criteria are accessible here.
In ensuring the compliance of the new cleanliness and hygiene standard among accommodation partners, an assessment method is taking place -in this case, a self-assessment method.

Traveloka is not a certifying body or a surveyor and the compliance of cleanliness and hygiene standard is fully reliant on the declaration of the accommodation partners. Declared items are limited only to the items available on the explanation page of the program.
Changes may apply to the cleanliness and hygiene standard based on the development of standards published by relevant and competent organizations such as, but not limited to, the WHO.
