Top Rated Hotels of the year

Germany's best-rated hotels – recognised by the PLUS X AWARD

Anyone booking a hotel today has long since stopped relying on stars alone – they rely on genuine experience. That is precisely where the PLUS X AWARD recognition “Top Rated Hotel 2026” comes in: the award goes exclusively to hotels that delight their guests lastingly and achieved the best ratings in their category.

The award is based on an independent survey by the German Institute for Product and Market Assessment (DIPMB). As part of the study, extensive customer surveys, existing online reviews and publicly available rating data were analysed and compared. The aim was to identify those hotels that are particularly convincing in the decisive areas from their guests' point of view: service quality, facilities, atmosphere, comfort, trust and the overall experience.

The recognition “Top Rated Hotel 2026” thus stands for genuine customer satisfaction rather than mere self-presentation. It is a clear signal of quality for travellers and at the same time a special recognition for hotels that meet the highest standards day after day and create exceptional guest experiences.

For years the PLUS X AWARD has been among the most renowned awards for quality, innovation and brand strength. With “Top Rated Hotel 2026” the award extends its standard of quality to the hotel industry – and recognises those houses that set new standards through outstanding ratings and excellent hospitality.
