Accessibility Statement
1. Introduction
The Best Western Hotel Favorit is committed to making its website and mobile applications accessible in accordance with legal requirements. The accessibility requirements result from the Accessibility Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz, BFSG), in particular from § 14 BFSG in conjunction with § 3 para. 1 BFSG, as well as the underlying Ordinance to the Accessibility Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz, BFSGV). The specific technical measures are based on the guidelines of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 with conformity levels A and AA. This accessibility statement applies to the website hotel-favorit.de.
2. State of accessibility
This website is partially accessible, as not all requirements are fully met.
3. Non-accessible content
a) Technical barriers:
- Wrong or missing HTML structure: The page structure sometimes uses heading levels without a preceding logical order . This makes navigation within the content difficult, especially for users of assistive technologies. We will fix this.
- Some content, such as embedded maps (Google Maps) or image galleries, is opened on our website in so-called „lightboxes“. These interactive windows are currently not fully accessible. We are working on making these functions accessible in the future. As a transitional solution, we also provide all content (e.g. addresses, directions, captions) in text form or send these on request.
b) Content barriers:
- PDF and Office documents not accessible (missing tags, poor structure, non-accessible tables).
- Language mix on the website: Some sections contain English terms without the language being correctly marked up in the code.
c) Unreasonable burden:
According to Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, an exception due to unreasonable burden may be invoked for certain content. Despite our efforts, it is currently not possible for us to offer the following content completely accessible:
- Older PDF documents and Office files:
Many PDF documents and Word files published before June 26, 2025 are not accessible. These documents sometimes contain missing structures, insufficient alternative texts for images or complex tables, which cannot be revised at short notice without additional resources.
New documents will be provided in an accessible format if possible.
If you require a specific document in an accessible version, please contact us.
