By virtue of that, various of Muslim friendly hotel rating systems were established by several agencies as an additional value for more competitive service in tourism. What remains obscure, are those rating systems really fulfill Muslim tourists' needs and inherently holistic? Thus, this article aims to review past research regarding Muslim friendly hotel rating systems, are they meet Maqasid Syariah guidelines perfectly. This is qualitative research with content analysis design. All the data gained from literature review includes articles and documents about Muslim friendly hotel rating systems as well as interview session with a few informants related to tourism industry. The outcome indicates that all the rating's standards do not completely accomplish Syariah objectives in full filling Muslim tourists' needs. Protection of live and property are not the requisite elements in their inspections. It is opposites to the hotel's function as protection. The standards must adhere firmly to Maqasid Syariah principle to ensure a holistic Muslim friendly hotel rating remain.
