five-star or five star ??

... This is a beautiful five star / five-star hotel....

I know both forms are being used, (but I've never seen people write "ice cream". ) but which is more correct?

And is there any rules for using hypen??

Thanks in advance!!

I'll hyphenate it like "five-star" to lessen confusion such as below described. Compare two sentences. (1) There are five star hotels.
