There are many beautiful destinations around the Black Forest that attract both local and foreign tourists, including Bad Wildbad, Calw, Freiburg, Titisee-Neustadt and Triberg. They all have their own charm, but before you can explore, you first need to book accommodation. Since the selection of accommodation is good all year round, the only question that remains is how to make a good decision when booking. Our tips provide the answer.
Determine type of accommodation
Just because most accommodations are are hotels, that doesn't mean you don't have other options. In addition to the classic hotels, there is a variety of other accommodation options, including holiday homes, holiday apartments and guesthouses. Even a holiday on a farm is possible. The best type of accommodation depends on your personal preferences. Holiday homes, for example, are more suitable for holidaymakers who value privacy and want to take care of basic things themselves, while hotels are suitable for everyone who is looking for a high level of comfort and good service. A farm holiday, on the other hand, is ideal for families with children.
Check equipment

Please take your time to look at the images provided. If there are only a few pictures available, this is often an indicator of simple or even inadequate equipment. Let's take the bathroom as an example. Good bathroom equipment includes, among other things functional and beautiful sink, as it also occupies a relevant place in everyday life when traveling.

Compare prices

A vacation is a vacation and you should feel completely comfortable.
Read guest reviews
