The Wellness Stars quality seal stands for the highest quality standards in the wellness sector and was developed in 2003/2004 by Heilbäder und Kurorte Marketing GmbH Baden-Württemberg.

Strict certification and regular inspections ensure that hotels and resorts awarded the seal of approval meet guests' expectations and thus offer an all-round relaxing and restorative experience.
Guests can therefore rely on high-quality wellness facilities, professional treatments, attractive amenities, and excellent service when they choose a Wellness Stars hotel.

The Vier Jahreszeiten wellness hotel on Schluchsee in the Black Forest has been certified with 5 Wellness Stars for excellent comfort, professionalism, and the highest quality in its wellness areas.

For a perfect vacation Quality inspection
of Wellness Stars Hotels

Hotels awarded the Wellness Stars quality seal must meet strict requirements and are evaluated on the basis of around 400 different criteria, which are derived from customer expectations in market surveys. Authenticity, competence, and holistic offerings are just as much a part of the evaluation criteria as regionality and sustainability.

The assessment is carried out by a trained inspector who visits the hotel in person to evaluate its quality from a guest's perspective. In addition, the certified establishments are regularly inspected by independent testers from TÜV Rheinland as part of hotel mystery checks to ensure consistent quality.
