DTV classification - stars for holiday accommodation

The German Tourism Association (DTV) stars are not just symbols, but a promise of quality and reliability for holiday guests in Germany. Over 30,000 holiday accommodations across the country proudly bear the yellow, eight-pointed stars, which signal: This accommodation has been assessed and classified according to strict, nationwide criteria. The DTV classification covers various types of holiday accommodation, including holiday homes, holiday apartments, holiday rooms (with a maximum of nine beds) as well as unusual accommodation such as tiny houses, tree houses or houseboats. But before an accommodation receives stars, the minimum criteria must be met.

Advantages of DTV classification:

  • Quality guarantee for guests: The stars are not only decorative, but also serve as a reliable orientation for guests when booking. They give a clear signal about the quality standard of the accommodation based on an objective assessment.
  • Strengthen your online presence: The DTV stars are a synonym for tested quality, which strengthens the trust of potential guests. This advantage can also be used in online marketing, be it on your own website or in booking portals that cooperate with DTV. Your stars will automatically appear on these platforms, increasing the attractiveness of your property.
  • Personal advice: When it comes to classification, you benefit from the expertise of experienced tourism professionals from your region. They will provide you with expert advice and help you present your accommodation in the best possible way.
  • Membership in the Star Holiday Club: As a member of the Star Holiday Club, you will always be up to date. You will receive information on current trends, helpful tips on holiday rentals, a free sample rental agreement and can take part in an annual DTV webinar.

The DTV classification is therefore not just a seal of quality, but an investment in the future of your holiday accommodation. It provides guests with security, strengthens your online presence and provides access to a network of professionals to support and advise you.


Paws classification - dog friendly holiday accommodation

The Paw Classification quality seal, initiated by DTV, GLC Glücksburg Consulting AG and DeineTierwelt, is the first nationwide classification of dog-friendly holiday accommodation. In order to be awarded the paws, the accommodation must previously be classified with the DTV stars. This connection guarantees tested quality standards that guests and their four-legged companions can rely on. All award-winning holiday accommodations are presented on www.pfoten-classification.de and are valid for up to three years.
