Dating Program for Seniors "Hotel Romantik" Greenlit for Third Season

DR's popular dating program "Hotel Romantik" is set to return for a third season, with applications now open on the broadcaster's website. The show brings together 20 singles over the age of 60 who are seeking romantic connections.

Details regarding the hosts for the upcoming season remain unconfirmed, as does the filming location. However, DR has indicated that the new season will be set somewhere in Europe, following previous seasons filmed in Switzerland and Mallorca, Spain.

Despite the show's success, including multiple awards at the Reality Awards and Tvprisen for its first season, the hosts Sofie Linde and Joakim Ingversen have faced criticism. Some commentators and journalists have accused them of speaking condescendingly to the older participants, likening their tone to that used with toddlers. This criticism has been voiced by figures such as journalist Kirsten Jacobsen and editor Anna Libak.

However, participants from both the first and second seasons have largely refuted these claims. Lise-Lotte Bak, a participant from the first season, described the interactions as "naughty" rather than condescending. Several contestants from the second season also told Se og Hør that they did not feel spoken down to.
