Travel To Iceland - Secret Resorts in Germany - A Checklist to Find Them - Part 4 of 4

Final Issue with the German Hotel Classification and the overall checklist

Here we go:-) to cut a long story short,

German Hotel Classification

It's masterminded by the German Hotel and Restaurant Association (DEHOGA). A quite good indicator to select and find Secret Resorts in Germany is our German Hotel Classification.

This is why the hotel rating does not mirror subjective aspects. Individual evaluations are emotional and subjective. Their assessment is based exclusively on objective criteria. 1996 they established their classification "code".

And you specifically can use this system as one more criteria on selecting and finding the Secret Resorts of your dreams.

Given by the DEHOGA, on that plate you see immediately how many Stars this hotel has. Mostly close to their entrance, each hotel classified by the DEHOGA has a signal outside their hotel. They categorize hotels in a 5-Star segment.

See it however as a short message about quality standards of that hotel.

Okay, but they should not have a plate less than 3-Stars? You will however also find Secret Resorts with a 3-Star plate outside. Whereby a Wellness Hotel with 5 Stars might be a Secret Resort, the range goes from 1 to 5 Stars.

Because they assign to have "their own" classification code, in Germany however are some TOP-hotels without this plate. Good.

As I already told you this is only "one more" indicator for your selection, anyway.

For more details about our German Hotel Classification go to their official website at http://www.hotelsterne.de/uk/ and browse through their descriptions.

Simply print this page out and check each point. With that checklist handy you surely will find the Wellness Hotel of your dreams. Finally we can go now to the overall checklist of how to find Secrets Resorts in Germany, so.
