We were honored with the “Traveller Review Award 2026”

9.2 out of 10 points on the international booking platform Booking.com / A perfect score of 9.9 for location

 The “Strandhotel Zingst” has received the “Traveler Review Award 2026” from Booking.com. With an overall rating of 9.2 out of 10, this hotel on the Baltic Sea is among the highest-rated accommodations on the platform.

The “Strandhotel Zingst” scores in the top range of over 9 (out of a maximum of 10) points in six out of seven categories, with a perfect score of 9.9 for location. No wonder, since it’s just a two-minute walk from the Baltic Sea and the pier and right in the town center. So if you’re looking for a highly rated wellness hotel on the Baltic Sea, you’ll find everything your heart desires at the Strandhotel Zingst, complete with a pool and beach.

The service—and in particular, the friendliness—receives similarly high ratings (9.6). Facilities (9.4), cleanliness (9.5), comfort (9.5), and Wi-Fi (9.6) also receive top marks. The dining options featuring regional fish, the daily late-riser breakfast served until noon, and the spacious wellness area with an indoor and heated outdoor pool in the hotel garden are also regularly mentioned positively in the reviews.

Another highlight is the Coastal Barbecue in the hotel garden under the direction of Executive Chef Maik Gültzow, which has gained a large following even beyond the region.

“The award is based on over 372 million verified guest reviews submitted worldwide on Booking.com. In the fourteenth edition of the ‘Traveler Review Awards,’ a total of 1.81 million partners in 226 countries and regions were recognized. The 2026 ranking is based on the average of all guest reviews published on the website and in the app between December 1, 2022, and November 30, 2025. The final result was calculated on December 1, 2025.

““This latest recognition from our guests is a wonderful compliment to our more than 70 employees at our extraordinary destination. It’s a great motivator for us heading into the upcoming season,” says Kai Harmsen, director of the “Strandhotel Zingst,” with delight.

Guests are thus also recognizing the extensive renovation of all guest rooms and public areas in 2024, which has already earned the “Strandhotel Zingst” several awards—including, in 2025, its inclusion in the “Falstaff Guide”.
