"The home was clean and did a few views of the lake through some small windows. The picture of there Hot tub situated on a what looks like a gravel terrace is completely false. We never even stepped into the tub (it was clean) because it sits low on a terraced yard and when you stood at the hot tub you could not even see the lake. It was actually behind the RR tracks which were not shown in the picture. We enjoyed our stay in Interlaken and exploring al the spectacular beauty but the property is definitely NOT as described. Again, a nice place but not as described which made it expensive for what we got."

Lake Lodge Hostel

Lake Lodge Hostel

8/10 Good
"We Miamians were unprepared for just how hot it would be in Iseltwald in early July in a heatwave. There was no AC (which is our natural state in the 305) and it took some getting used to but we survived. We came by car and parking was good. The road leading to the hostel (which was more like a driveway) was quite narrow and we were unprepared for it. We would soon learn that narrow streets are common in Europe and everyone is much more courteous that what we are accustomed to. Biggest issue was some sort of party nearby (on a Friday night, to be fair) that was quite noisy until past 3:00 am. It would have been fine with us but we had to check out the next day. It looks like we brought Miami vibes and weather to Switzerland when we went. Oh well."

Lake and Mountain View Chalet,Fireplace and Garden

10/10 Excellent
"The location is amazing! We were so happy to get away from crowded spaces part way through our vacation. The property is located on a small ski resort and as suggested by the host, it would be best to arrive during daylight hours. The drive up the hill is narrow at times and winding but manageable. The property is located near some great hiking trails and really close to a cute restaurant that has the best soft serve ice cream I've ever had. The hosts were wonderful and really attentive. The only negative was that the space was a bit small for 3 adults but we would stay here again. I already miss having my morning coffee outside in the quiet looking at the mountains."
