We love sustainability!
„Nothing is more powerful than an idea at the right time.“

We recognized early that green travel is much more than just a trend and that the future viability of tourism can only be guaranteed with sustainable development.
Holidaymakers and business guests will find individual and environmentally friendly hotels on our booking platform. All hotels have been awarded sustainability certificates that are recognized internationally and by InfraCert - Institute for Sustainable Development in the Hotel Industry.
In addition to travel booking, we also give tips for a sustainable lifestyle, provide information about new trends and encourage exciting time outs whether in the city or in the countryside.
We combine the desire to travel comfortably with a sustainable lifestyle.
We make an important contribution to environmental and climate protection and inspire people to think and act in an innovative, environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner.
Our guiding principle
The number of guests with a pronounced focus on sustainability continues to rise and ecological and sustainable management becomes a central task for the future of the hotel industry.
Sustainable tourism should not limit the desire to travel, but offers the chance to travel in a more conscious and at the same time eventful and healthier way. Many travelers face the challenge of finding accommodations that actually meet the most important sustainability criteria.
We offer guests a large selection of really sustainable hotels and at the same time we want to encourage other hoteliers and restaurateurs to increase their awareness of shared responsibility for environmentally friendly and socially responsible tourism.
We combine our passion for travel with modern, future-oriented and ecological corporate management.
Our mission
We want to inform and inspire people to consciously shape their travel behavior and lifestyle and to change it sustainably.
We are convinced that sustainable life and sustainable travel can be fun. In fact, it is often beneficial to health and does not have to result in loss of comfort and higher costs. We want to convey this to the travelers and encourage them to pay attention to resourcefulness and resource protection even on vacation.
Worth seeing travel destinations, a large selection of comfortable hotels with a diverse ambience, attractive offers combined with true sustainability should make guests want to go green and encourage them to choose more sustainable alternatives when planning their holiday and business trips. We do not want to teach or mission, we want to inform and inspire!
We are committed to the environment and strive for constant quality improvement while maintaining our naturalness and uniqueness.
Our values
„The most purposeful way to a peaceful coexistence is that of humanity.“

It is our concern to adapt these standards to the latest findings and to constantly check them
We live sustainability with joy and commitment!
Active, environmentally conscious and climate-friendly management is self-evident for us. Here, we see ourselves as a role model and we benefit from a large network of sustainable partners and innovative know-how.
With our team, the hoteliers, our partners and the public, we strive for a transparent and continuous sustainability dialogue.
We align our own operating processes to the principles of sustainability and have already taken the following measures:
-
We work almost paperless
-
Our office is PET free
-
We drive a hybrid company car with a solar roof
-
Our print products are produced carbon neutral
-
We compensate for the CO2 emissions of our website with our partner
-
We purchase green electricity
-
We communicate our sustainability concept across all channels
-
With a balanced scorecard, we develop our sustainability every year and keep putting our tasks to the test
Our sustainable commitment
We plant trees
We not only preach sustainability, we are also actively committed to environmental protection. Together with our partner Klimapatenschaft GmbH, which annually calls for a large-scale tree planting campaign, the GreenLine team plants 10,000 deciduous trees each year together with some hoteliers and other participants to enrich the groundwater.
We support social projects
In addition to protecting the environment, social commitment is also very important to us. We want to counteract social inequality and do something good for others. So we also actively support the Paddel Kids e.V., which run non-profit holiday camps and also offer children from socially disadvantaged families the opportunity to spend a wonderful holiday in nature.
„We have to reach for the stars if we want to reach the clouds.“
The primary goal of our entrepreneurial thinking and acting is a secure and successful future. We would like to continue to grow, increase our level of awareness, expand our partner network while maintaining and further improving our quality standard.
We increase the attractiveness of the represented hotels, provide impulses for compatible and gentle tourism and encourage sustainable travel. We support society in reducing its CO2 emissions without foregoing an eventful or relaxing vacation.
We create greater awareness of the ecological, economic and cultural effects of travel and at the same time are committed to the continuous improvement of travel options in accordance with the principles of sustainable tourism.
