we enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel for 4 nights, very friendly staff, peaceful place with gorgeous view of the mountains, we had a car to travel around and was close to everywhere, 5 min to Brienze lake, 18 min to intarlaken and less than an hour drive to Luzern, bern, lauterbrunen, grinderwald. Spacious and very clean rooms, house keeping everyday, good breakfast.

This was probably one of the best stays in Switzerland and France. We booked for only one night, Andreas and Jules were so courteous that felt like staying additional night had our itinerary provided that opportunity. Rooms are well maintained and breakfast was fresh and service like family

Great little hotel in small Swiss village. Location is only 25 minute drive to Interlaken for all activities. View is amazing from all rooms. Only concerns were that wifi was very slow and breakfast did not have any cooked items (eggs, sausage, etc.). Other than that I would definitely stay here again!

At checkin, we were greeted by Sharon who has a "bubbly"personality. Check in was quick and efficient. The chalet room was clean and had a beautiful mountain & distant waterfall view. At breakfast we were greeted by lovely Ivona, who is so very nice and sweet. Breakfast was a delicious buffet. The township is quiet and quaint. The property is also a 10 minute walk from the Ballenberg Swiss Open Air Museum.

Great place, people - avoid during heatwave

We really enjoyed staying here. The only issue we had was that our room was incredibly hot. We did visit during the heatwave. It was a very small air-conditioner in the room. It was not up to the task.

I wish I had an option for a zero-star rating for this hotel. They provided us with a broken folding bed for my five-year-old son. The dinner buffet was set up for another group party. Actually, the food was leftover. I say this is terrible.

Good to stay for chalet experience. Walkable but a bit far from Brienz lake and lake trail from the hotel side is not that pretty. Better to drive to Iseltwald. Service quality varies by who you meet the staff. The lady who had leggy hair at reception looks very negative keeping said No, we can’t, we don’t whenever I asked, which I was serviced on the other day. She took away my a little good stay experience and memory during the stay. Other than her, everyone was so kind and full of hospitality.
