A process for preparing polyol, wherein, in a first process stage, a diol is prepared by a process comprising: (1-i) adding alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide onto an H-functional starter substance in the presence of a catalyst to obtain polyethercarbonate polyol and a cyclic carbonate, (1-ii) separating the cyclic carbonate from the resulting reaction mixture from step (1-i), (1-iii) hydrolyzing the cyclic carbonate separated from step (1-ii) to carbon dioxide and diol, and (1-iv) optionally purifying the diol resulting from step (1-iii) by distillation.
