- Aia (8/5): -
- Levin (10/5): einfach perfekt zum entspannen und wohlfühlen. - das frühstück war sehr gut! es gab sogar birchermüesli und sehr gutes Brot!
Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und gastfreundlich!
Ich konnte ein Standuppadle auslehnen, was sehr viel spass machte!
Die Unterkunft ist gut ereichbar über den Strandweg (alles entlang des Wassers laufen). Und die Unterkunft liegt direkt am See!
- Yakov Gadi (3/5): - את שקט

- imad (10/5): -
- Nian (8/5): - 早餐是我最满意的,非常丰盛,有鸡蛋、法棍切片、各类果酱、牛奶、咖啡、燕麦、火腿,口味不错。附近加油站有一个杂货店,可以买一点比较基础的食材。靠近湖边所以很安静。房间还是挺干净的。 淋浴间略小,基本放不了个人换洗的衣服。由于住的十四人大通铺,每个床之间的间距比较小。不过好在我入住的时候满打满算只住了一半数量的住客,大家中间能隔开一张床,否则会很尴尬。位置也离火车站有一点远,走路十五分钟,公交两站。

- 03 (10/5): 好极了,10/10推荐 - 一切都很好,看着位置、设施和卫生就会面露微笑,确实非常惊喜!完全可以住更久。提供晚餐,也很方便。我住的房间里还有无门的单独小房间,虽然整体光线显得阴暗,但体验非常接近独居,很满意,睡得很好。
- CHERNG JIUN (9/5): Nice hostel - Staff very kindly No
- Jessa (7/5): -
- Slepicka (10/5): - I like everything except that we couldn't sleep well because somebody snoring the whole night.
- Abraham (10/5): - Great hostel. Awesome complementary breakfast. Comfortable atmosphere. Rooms up top felt cozy and cabin like
- Mon (4/5): -
- Ergün (10/5): - Perfekte Lage, freundliches Personal, alles sauber, modern und gemütlich. Flexibel und unkompliziert.
- Aleksander92 (10/5): Top Lage mit Top Ausblick!!! - Top Lage am See!!! Einfach vor der Tür gehen und hinten im Privatgarten gleich Zugang zum See und mit Blick auf die Berge.
Mein Zimmer war im Dachgeschoss (Dachschrägen und Quer-und Stützbalken sind zu sehen), aber dies wurde sehr toll umgebaut. In 2 Reihen......die Matratzen lagen direkt auf dem Boden. Bequeme Betten und das ohne Latenrost oder ähnliches!!! Es waren Plätze um die 20 Betten, aber es waren höchstens nur 5 Personen im Zimmer. Genug Raum und Ruhe zu anderen.
Kein Straßenlärm, dank dem Eisenbahnschienen auf dem Damm!!!
Bushaltestelle in 100m zu erreichen!!!
Wer in Brienz übernachtet ist dort richtig :-) Direkt vor der Tür fährt die Bahn längs.....aber weniger schlimm da es nur kurz laut wird und nachts auch keine Bahn mehr fährt!!!
Zum Bahnhof sind es ca 1km zu gehen, in knapp 10 min zu erreichen!!! Mit viel Gepäck muss dann weit getragen/gezogen werden.
Auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten oder Bankautomaten sind erst am Bahnhof!!!

- Gintvile (10/5): - Very clean, amazing place and view, everythink you need you can find. We slept in shared room and that was the best hostel where I stayied
Very good breakfast
Highly recommended. -
- Frank Otieno (9/5): -
- Anılcan Ay (10/5): - Her şey harikaydı. bir aile işletmesi. mükemmel bir deniz manzarsı ve çocuklu aileler içinde harika bir konaklama noktasıydı. Tatlı bir köyün hemen girişince ve kano kiralama gibi hizmetleri de var. denize açıldık eşimle harika bir atmosper vardı ve kahvaltısı oldukça yeterli ve tazeydi.
- Hiroshi (9/5): - スタッフの方がとても親切に対応してくれました。
清潔、設備も充実していて快適に滞在することができました。
裏庭に出てすぐブリエンツ湖にアクセスでき、最高のロケーションでした。
朝食も美味しかったです。 特にありません。
- Coco77 (10/5): - Excellent location on the lake.
Staff was very good and so was food, excellent breakfast
- Craig (10/5): - Omg the location is amazing, and it has it's own beach front where we had a fire and absorbed the views
- Andreas (9/5): -

- Hui (5/5): Won't recommend the giant dorm. Get a smaller shared dorm Might be better - Common area. Next to the lake. Great break and good dining area. Staff was nice and live onsite We got the 20beds dorm or sth. It was very hard to sleep as several people came around 1am and it kept waking me up.
Quite far from train station by walking.
- Jsm (6/5): Bonita ubicación y poco más - Ubicación muy bonita. El frigorífico de la cocina es muy muy muy pequeño y no puedes dejar nada de comida. La cocina no tiene nada para cocinar solo un microondas.
- Frank (8/5): War eine Zwischenstation zum Übernachten, man konnte sie da gut erholen. - Für Jugendherberge sehr gutes Frühstückbuffet, sehr schöner Aufenthaltsraum mit Blick auf dem See und den hohen Bergen, sehr netter Gastgeber.
- Sia (8/5): - Tolle Lage direkt am See, freundliches Personal, gutes Frühstück,
der einzige Minuspunkt ist die Sauberkeit der Schlafplätze.
- Tuğçe (5/5): -
- Elif (6/5): So so - Konumu çok güzel Ahşap hostel, odalara çıkıp inerken çok ses oluyor
- Amelie (7/5): - La situation géographique sur la ligne de train Lucerne Interlaken et à proximité de belles randonnées et d'un petit village charmant en bord d'eau. Le prix en comparaison des autres hébergements en Suisse avec petit déjeuner inclus Peu de flexibilité pour les horaires check-in et Checkout, des solutions de bagagerie nécessitant de la monnaie Suisses, une fausse réservation en dortoir de 6 pour laquelle l'annonce demande de préciser notre sexe pour finalement avoir un matelas posé sur le sol d'un grenier au milieu de 15 autres, sans aucune séparation d'avec les voisins inconnus ni solution de rangement adaptées aux valises ou sac de voyage, cela impose proximité, absence totale d'intimité, partage de peu d'installation sanitaire et un rythme collectif d'horaire de couché et de levé... Par conséquent cela devient chère pour le rapport qualité/prix

- Eduardo Rocha (6/5): -
- Aurèle (7/5): Très bel endroit au bord du lac, avec un grand dortoir de type cabane (14 lits côte à côte) et d’autres plus petits, pro - Au bord du lac, belle maison avec super jardin (été), propre, calme Dortoir de type cabane avec 14 lits côte a côte
- Myriam (9/5): -
- Anish Krishnan (8/5): -
- Olha (7/5): - Хостел на берегу прекрасного озера с бирюзовой водой. Персонал был очень полезен и приветливый. Было немного грязно в уборных. Соседи шумели и ходили всю ночь. Поэтому поспать не удалось. Но это хостел, поэтому я понимаю.
- Abhishek (10/5): if you are on a budget travel, this may be a great solution. - It's in a walking distance from Brienz station, breakfast is covered and is a buffet, it's managed by one of the best people i have come across. Being a hostel you pay way lesser and it's good to see some rules that exist so everyone can co exist. Hard to pick as you have to be mindful for what you may need to pay. Towels are available on rent. It may be important to rent as there is no way to dry your own towel after use.
- Bhuti (9/5): -
- Corinne (10/5): Inoubliable ❤️❤️❤️ - Nous avons tout aimé ❤️❤️❤️ magnifique endroit, accueil chaleureux, petit déjeuner royal, nous y avons passé un séjour extraordinaire ❤️❤️❤️ nous y reviendrons 🥰🥰🥰 un grand merci à tous ce séjour inoubliable ❤️❤️❤️
- Muella (5/5): - Die Lage am See ist wirklich schön.
Ich konnte nicht frühstücken, da ich früh weg musste. Ich bekam ein Lunchpaket. Meine Pläne haben sich geändert und ich fragte nach einer Rückerstattung auf Kulanz für eine Nacht (oder zumindest Teilrückerstattung). Schade, dass das leider nicht möglich war.
Ich habe bezahlt für etwas, das ich nicht genutzt habe!
- iwona (8/5): polecam ten obiekt - ze stacji 10 min pieszo , czysto schludnie dość duże pokoje , w kuchni tylko czajnik , ale za to rano doskonałe śniadanie ,typu bufet można jeść do syta , kawa ,herbata ,wędliny ,sery czy jogurt do tego płatki i mleko dla chętnych .Mało szafek z kluczami a w pokoju tylko półki ale są też szafki na zewnątrz tylko trzeba mieć swoją kłódkę . nic
- Mahira Hussain (6/5): good view and location but a lot needs to be done about the management - the brekfast was average / the location is great we werea grup of7 muslim friends travelling/ we ordered dinner and we wanted a vegetarian meal , multiplle enquiries were made regarding the pizza which was served ,and the staff assured us that it was a vegetarian pizza/ but when we were servedit contained bacon in it. and therewas one careless apology from the manager.
the bathroom ws blockedand floodedand was in no condition to be used/ and when we tried to get it sorted the managersaid it is not his job to clean the bathroom.

- sara (5/5): -
- Yassougrati (8/5): very Nice - the hostel is in front of the lake and has its own "beach", the staff is nice it can get noisy, and the matresses are not very confortable
- Rosalinda (8/5): -
- Prreeti (7/5): - The location of the property is excellent. 10/10 for that. Infrastructure is also good and latest. The morning breakfast was nice and had good options. The property is very near to the train station and easily accessible on foot. Toilet paper just kept on running out and had to use personal tissues because to ask the owner was more painful than using mine. The owner (male) will make sure to mark his name in the "Rudest people you have ever met so far in this life" list. God knows for what reason he is so rude and worked up but God Bless him. Property is 10/10 and his behaviour -10/10.
- Susanne (7/5): - Freundliche Mitarbeiter
Tolles Essen Kommunikation über Booking.com
- Svitlana (4/5): Не сподобалось! - Цей хостел спасає тільки розташування біля самого озера, краєвиди дійсно незабутні. Нас з сім’єю (1 жінка, і три чоловіка) оселили в загальному, змішаному номері. Приватність відсутня зовсім! Ніяких шторок чи перегородок. Пів ночі заселялися люди, аж до першої ночі.
Несподівано для нас були платні (оренда) рушників - 3 Франка за 1 шт. Кава від 4 Франка. Шафи в загальному номері закриваються тільки при наявності у вас 2 франка.
В туалетах часто немає туалетного паперу. Душові кабінки не чисті. Сніданок був дуже скромний.
- Timo (8/5): - Very friendly staff. They prepared glutenfree dinner and breakfast without an problem.
Locations is awesome, except from the train noises.
- Sanne (9/5): - De ligging van het hostel aan het meer. We hebben een hele dag gezwommen. Ook is het erg leuk dat er sups te huren zijn. Dit is het geld zeker waard. Nvt
Het was zoals verwacht
- sema (1/5): Berbat kabalar - Biz bileti 6 kişi sadece kadın odası olarak aldık. Fakat gittiğimizde bizi 16 kişilik karışık odaya verdiler. Biz kalmak istemedik ve başka otele gittik tekrar para ödeyerek . Bir yanlışlık olmuş 2. Gün için odanızı ayarlayalım dedilet fakat ikinci günde ayarlamadılar yine 16 kişilik odayı verdiler üstelik 6 kişilik yer bile yoktu. Bizde ayarlanmasını istedik ya da paramızın iadesini fakat çok kaba davranarak otelden ayrılmamız için baskı yaptılar. Biz yine başka otele gitmek zorunda kaldık. Parqmızın iadesini istiyoruz. Ayrıca inanılmaz kabalardı hiç yardımcı olmadılar hem yanlışlık olmuş dediler ve bize sattıkları odaları başkasınada sattılar Biz booking 6 kişilik sadece kadın olarqk oda almamıza rağmen gittiğimizde bizi 16 kişilik karışık odada konaklamak için zorladılar. Bir yanlışlık olmuş dediler.2. Gece düzeltelim dediler. Biz başka otele gittik ekstra para vererek. 2. Gün geldiğimizde yine 16 kişilik odayı verdiler üstelik 6 kişiden az yer vardı ve bir gece öncede başka kişilere satmışlar. Biz düzeltilmesini ve sadece kadın odasında kalmak istediğimizi söyledik. Bize beğenmezseniz gidin diyerek hem kovdu. Ücretimizi iade etmesini en azından bir gecesini vermesini istedik ama kaba bir şekilde bizi otelden attırmakla tehdit etti. Paramızın iadesini istiyoruz asla kimse kalmasın pis ve kabalar
- Young-hyun (8/5): - 정말 아름다운 브리엔츠 호수 앞에 있는 호스텔. 언제든 수영하러 호수로 갈 수 있는 위치라 좋았습니다. 그리고 공용공간이 너무 아름다워요. 정갈한 가구와 예쁜 인테리어! 테라스 공간도 좋고... 공용공간은 항상 청결했습니다. 말 그대로 유스호스텔이다보니 가족단위 여행객이 많은데.. 제 침대 위에 묵었던 남학생이 밤새 소리지르고 쿵쿵뛰어서 도저히 잘수가 없었어요.. 가족단위는 묶어서 방을 배정해줬다면 더 좋았을거같아요.
- Matej (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, modern, pleasant environment both inside and outside. Hostel is located in a peaceful area.
- Côté (10/5): -
- Sonja (6/5): Das Zimmer war nicht wie sonst Standard, aber der Rest war okay - Die Lage am See ist toll. Das Frühstück ist gut. Es gibt Bettwanzen und das Bett im Schlafsaal entpuppte sich als 12 Personen mix Schlafsaal. Es gibt keine Zimmer nur für Frauen.
- Elke (9/5): -
- Georgi (9/5): - The whole stay was great, and the staff is really friendly and helpful!!!! The breakfast was also really good. The location is also amazing - right next to the lake, and you can take a swim in it.

- Leqin (5/5): just so so - This hostel is in a great location, next to brienz, there is a lawn for leisure, suitable for families The room was dark and smelled bad.
- Réka (7/5): Jó helyen volt, kedves személyzet, viszont az ágyak kicsik, és kevés a konnektor. A reggeli nagyon jó volt! Konyha sajno - Jó helyen volt, kedves személyzet, viszont az ágyak kicsik, és kevés a konnektor. A reggeli nagyon jó volt! Konyha sajnos nincs, egy hűtőszekrény, mikró és egy vízforraló található összesen. Parkolás sajnos drága, benne lehetne az árban…
