Evaluation criteria

The hotel and accommodation ratings refer exclusively to the usability of the facilities for guests with disabilities, with the following aspects being considered in order of importance:

  • Access to the room and adjoining bathroom
  • Access to the holiday accommodation (parking spaces and access routes to the accommodation)
  • Access to the dining room or restaurant
  • Access to other meeting places and the wellness area

Important note on hotel ratings

The team at ‘South Tyrol for All’ always strives to develop objective rating criteria and hotel ratings. However, there is still a small subjective component in the assessment of hotel accessibility, as the needs of people with disabilities vary greatly.

For this reason, we recommend that our users always look at the numerous photos and technical data sheets in addition to the hotel ratings we have assigned. This is the best way to get a very accurate picture of each holiday accommodation.
