Guest Reviews

• Jeroen (8/5): - Prima plek om te verblijven mits je het niet erg vind om badkamer en keuken te delen.
• constance (6/5): - The hostel is in a good location. Easy walk downhill to the ferry. Hostel also has a restaurant close to the ferry. Food there was very good and reasonable. The breakfast was very basic. The hostel needs to replace its towels and sheets.
• Jan (4/5): - The view from the balcony was really great. Unfortunately the place is supposed to be maintained by the guests themselves and as a result it's not really maintained. It's not the best idea when the place is shared by multiple guests. The kitchen was really dirty and the bathroom as well. So our stay was a bit disappointing.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Esperaba más del lugar … uno de los accesos cortados por obras y no me dijeron nada. Baño compartido para todas las habitaciones - pregunté antes pero tampoco me respondieron - lo mejor de todo es la vista al Lago y una huésped que conocimos súper maja.
• Mathias (2/5): Nicht empfehlenswert. - Nach dem wir die Räumlichkeiten gesehen haben sind wir (1 Erw. + 2 Kinder) weg und haben uns eine Alternativübernachtung gesucht. The Outdoor Reatreat- der Eingangsbereich mega dreckig und es stank sehr. Auch wenn es draussen Kühe gibt, muss man eine Location, die man vermietet, einfach sauber halten! Das ist NO GO und die Unterkunft können wir definitiv nicht empfehlen. Wir schließen uns allen Bewertungen an, die was ähnliches berichten. Wie die positiven Bewertungen zustande kommen ist sehr fraglich. Im Wohnzimmer waren ca. 8 (!) Computer vorhanden, was für uns abschreckend wirkte. Das Bad hätten wir mit noch 4 anderen Personen + der Inhaber teilen müssen. 1 Bad/WC für 8 Personen? Handtücher worden angeboten. Nur die Aussicht aus dem Wohnzimmerbalkon war sehr schön. Zahlung nur Paypal oder Bar, was auch ungewöhnlich ist. Uns wurde auch keine Quittung ausgestellt. Unsere Fazit- das Geld ist viel besser in einem Hotel investiert, wo sauber, vertrauenswürdig und angenehm ist. Und Hotels.de müssen bitte ab und an die Angebote überprüfen.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Not so happy....Thought I paid for the whole house - The location was amazing, even though the road to the house is up the hill, on top of a mountain and very narrow. 2 cars cannot pass each other when the road is at 4000 ft elevation. The listing was wrong. Since travelling with family and kids, I wanted the whole house and that's how I reserved it. 3-days before my check-in, I was informed that the house is shared and I will have to share even the bathroom with other people. This was not what I paid for. So basically I paid for the whole house, but I ended up getting a single room and shared kitchen/bathroom. House was clean, undoubtedly. It has a country setup So outside wasn't clean much. Parking was an issue for me. The actual parking where I was told to park, was very narrow for my vehicle (mid-sized SUV) and there were no barriers around it (since it was in the high mountain). I was scared to park there at dark, thinking that if I miss the spot, I will fall straight 5000 ft down. So I decided to park in front of the garage (which I was told not to park).
• Carmem M (10/5): Maravilhoso - Estadia incrível me senti em casa, o anfitrião foi maravilhoso, atencioso, o local é um sonho de lindo com vista para os Alpes suíços, algo deslumbrante. Td na casa funciona harmonicamente, e os utensílios são de primeira. Amei !!!!
• Verified traveler (6/5): A local experience - The photos are accurate and we stayed in the room on the top floor, facing the lake with an amazing view and a spacious terrace. Fair warning to those who are sensitive to noises...there is a pond right below so you can hear the flowing water all night long and might be woken by ducks. The large room was ready with sufficient mattresses but not the right amount of pillows nor duvets. The property owner is helpful, contactable and responsive.
• Arlin (10/5): - The hosts were angels. I staid here right after my grandpa's passing and I felt at home in a strange land.
• Bruno (8/5): - Eine Unterkunft mit allem, was es braucht und vor allem mit einer sehr schönen Aussicht vom Balkon aus.
• Waltraud (8/5): - Die Offenheit des Gastgebers ist angenehm bemerkenswert. Das Haus liegt weit weg vom schrecklichen Strassenlärm am See und der Blick über den See und in die Berge birgt magische Kräfte!! Die Einrichtung ist sehr ansprechend und geschmackvoll. Die vielen Benutzeranweisungen verunsichern ein wenig. Man hat unterschwellig das Gefühl, stets etwas falsch machen zu können. Im Ganzen dennoch: Sehr empfehlenswert!!!!
• Laurent (8/5): - Die Lage ist sehr schön
• Carmen (10/5): Danke - Es war wunderschön! Ein ganz herzlicher Gastgeber mit open mind.
• Kathrin (6/5): - Aussicht Super, Bett Tiptop 👍 WC war sehr schmutzig, wir mussten zuerst putzen ❗️ Allgemeine Sauberkeit ❗️ Wir wollten Getränke in den Kühlschrank stellen… ein penetranter Gestank vom Käse kam uns entgegen
• Claire (8/5): - Amazing but basic place to stay with jaw dropping views! Fantastic value.
• Sonja (10/5): - Es war sehr schön, sauberkeit und das Schlafzimmer die Aussicht einfach alles super wir gehen sehr gerne wieder dort hin
• Verified traveler (4/5): not worth the money - Cannot recommend this accommodation, even though it was refurbished: payment only over Paypal or deposited cash, no credit-card on site, no debit-card, no Twint, not even a bank transfer (landlord not present) Our room: window facing cow stable (smelly, noisy), packed with matrasses bot no memory-foam as stated in the description, very little space on desk, had to replace the bedsheets for the next persons. Shared kitchen: no towels, only four chairs, terrible smell in the fridge (leading us to avoid using it), nice appliances, not very clean. dozens of instructions everywhere – we felt dumb and not very welcome. not worth 160.- for one night
• Bianca (8/5): - Es ist eine private Wohung; in dieser hat man ein separates Zimmer. Das Badezimmer und die Küche teilt man mit dem Vermieter selbst. Gleich nebenan dem Haus befindet sich ein Bauernhof. Daher ist es für Allergiker, die auf Stroh / Heu allergisch reagieren, nicht so geeignet. Ich habe es selber gespürt und wir sind leider abends schon wieder abgereist. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und auch die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und schön.
• Bettyblue (8/5): - Perdu dans la montagne Vue imprenable Odeurs, bruits et mouches de la ferme en face pas top.
• Federico (10/5): - Una casa molto accogliente ( non sembra un ostello!) dove tutto è in ordine e in armonia con l'ambiente circostante. Gerhardt è semplicemente meraviglioso, il suo spirito ospitale unito alla lunga esperienza nella ristorazione ha fatto sì che il mio soggiorno (e quello delle persone in casa) sia stato memorabile. Ci ha addirittura preparato la cena gratis, e restando poi a chiacchierare davanti a del buon vino (offerto anche quello). La vista sul lago Ageri è meravigliosa, e dalla terrazza si può godere dell'alba grazie all'ampia visuale. Da provare!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Der Preis ist in Oberägeri unschlagbar, da die anderen Übernachtungsmöglichkeit 100+ sind.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr Haus
• Frederic (10/5): Séjour très agréable. - Hôte très accueillant. Séjour très agréable. Chambre spacieuse et confortable.
• Yannick (10/5): Beautiful - Perfect location, beautiful view, nice welcome
• Steven (10/5): Thank you! - Our stay was great. Very relaxing and picturesque. We did some hiking and some local style eating. Siggy made great recommendations for places to see. The town and surrounding area are quiet which is what we were looking for. We recommend.
• Libby (10/5): - You can't find a more beautiful view from the house! Especially if you're in the room on the top floor. It's a down to earth environment so don't expect luxury. But for us, it was luxury being so close to the mountains, seeing the view at all times, and getting fresh eggs/milk in the mornings. Siggi is a lovely host, we highly recommend staying here!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Cheap for switzerland - Nice view, off the beaten path, clean except mould in window frames, didn't feel to welcome and controlled
• Verified traveler (6/5): - It is not a hotel, it is a room in a flat with shared bathroom, although there was no body in the flat during our stay. Too many instruction stickers about doing this and do not do that! We did not see the owner and felt like big brother house! Strong smell from next door cow barn! Nice view from the living room balcony.
• basir (10/5): extremely perfect - fantastic hotel, the owner friendly nice guy
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Vue magnifique, paisible, des canards dans le jardin. La region est belle. Unecrencontre interressante avec le logeur
• Verified traveler (6/5): Great view but... - The place has a great view. However, it is right next to a barn. It smells sooo bad. There are so many flies around and inside the house. The beds are comfortable. The owner is a neat freak. She wants you to wipe everything you use. Not as comfortable as you would like to get in a hotel.
• Joachim (10/5): Un pure moment de tranquilité - Super accueil, prix absolument compétitif, calme absolu, vue magnifique et imprenable, plongeante sur l’Aegerisee, super propre, malheureusement pas facilement accessible sans voiture, bonne odeur de campagne! Merci pour votre professionnalisme!!!
• Andy (2/5): Diese Hotel ist kein Hotel. - Es ist vom Besitzer oder Mieter eine von Ihm bewohnte Privatwohnung.Ausserhalb von Bus und Bahnverkehr.Die Aussicht ist sehr schön
• Verified traveler (10/5): Sehr abgelegen, der schönste Ort den ich kenne - Das Resort ist cool, Individualisten fühlen sich da wohl, aber wer Betreuung/Bemutterung wünscht, wird enttäuscht. Weiter so, danke
• Amit (6/5): Not what we expected!! - This is Not a hotel but more like a BNB and you will be sharing the unit with owner. The location is away from any restaurants or eating places so you have to take your food. Owner lets you use his kitchen but charges for cooking supplies. Our room wasn't even ready when we arrived and not clean. After our long train ride from Paris we wanted something ready a Where we can relax. Although owner wants no shoes in house, the floor in our room was dusty. The rooms don't have actual beds but mattresses that are on floor. More like a dorm setup. So if you are picky about privacy then don't go here. I won't recommend this place for more then 1 night. Owner does want everything paid right there and then when you use or buy anything. Seemed little odd to me as if I will leave without paying 50c for each egg. He also wants payment upfront and in Cash. I didn't expect to pay cash as it was not mentioned by Expedia or in the add. Owner is generally a nice guy and somewhat helpful. The views from the property is amazing and that is the best part of this property to experience country living in Switzerland. Too many flies in and around property which is a big nuisance while sleeping or being outside. This is because of a cow farm right across property. Neighbors don't seem very happy to see foreigners or other color people in their area. No one even said Hi or acknowledged even when we smiled and greeted. Pay little more and get a nicer hotel.
• Fedor (10/5): Life in quiet place - First of all this is view and clean (with passion). And it is very outdoor.
• Thejaswi M (8/5): Good - Location was good. Good a cottage. Had little issues with hot water. Other than that it was good.
• Verified traveler (8/5): friendly people and great views - big rooms, flexible. great views and relaxing place.
• Verified traveler (10/5): easy and comfortable - very friendly host!
• Rose Carmen (10/5): Best for adventure - It was amazing and the host really did his best to give us free ride going to the train station.. Amazing!
• GABRIEL (8/5): - Le négatif c'est qu'on ne dit pas tout sur l'internet , 1°/ on a mis le prix de la chambre à 29 euro et c'est tout alors qu'on arrivant sur place il y a le frais pour me récupérer de la station du bus jusqu'à la maison et ça coûte 20 euro l'aller et le retour plus le frais de train et bus à partir du Zurich en tout l’hôtel coûte plus de 100 euro quand même .
• Francis (2/5): Adresse pratiquement introuvable de nuit - Pas de possibilité de petit déjeuner,28 FS pour un nettoyage alors que la literie,à même le sol,était remplie de cheveux blonds (nous étions quatre bruns),premier accueil désagréable,serviettes de toilette grandes comme des mouchoirs (comment faire pour s'essuyer le dos?),situation en face d'une "ferme" qui s'avère être presque une usine et donc un bruit insupportable très tôt le matin!
• Ileana (8/5): - El lugar es hermoso, pero poco accesible para encontrar lugares para comer, sobretodo porque llegamos después de las ocho p.m. Tranquilo, relajante!!!!
