Don’t let the five stars fool you: The world’s worst luxury hotels (PHOTOS)

Not all luxury hotels are created equal, even if they have five sparkling stars attached to their name.

A new report from the high-end travel website Compare My Jet has revealed the world’s worst-reviewed luxury hotels, and you’ll definitely want to keep them off your list if you’re planning a trip any time soon.

The hotels were judged based on the number of guest complaints — “poor” or “terrible” reviews on CN Traveler and TripAdvisor. In its research, Compare My Jet determined that the most common complaints at luxury hotels revolved around issues with access to hot water and room service.

These are the top 10 luxury five-star hotels with the most customer complaints, listed from worst to, well, less worse.
