Pros:

Absolutely loved it! A dreamy little village cottage—rustic, vintage, charming, yet incredibly clean. The host cleaned daily and everything was spotless. Such a beautiful, cozy place! 🏡✨

Cons:

Unfortunately, the beds are quite cramped and uncomfortable, especially the top bunk with very little space. Otherwise, the location is great, spotless, peaceful, quiet, and feels like home.

Best place in Switzerland
Pros:

Honestly the best property I’ve probably every stayed in. Does not feel like a hostel nor a hotel but more like home. The kitchen is amazing alongside with the lounge where I made a lot of new friends. Shower and bath are on point and the bed themselves perfect.

Pros:

Alles war perfekt. Es war einfach zu finden, die Besitzerin hat schnell und klar geantwortet, Parkplätze hat es immer. Die Betten waren weich, alles war sauber. Es hatte viele Ausstattungen, die man nutzen konnte: komplette Küche, TV, Bücher, Prospekte etc. Die lage ist mitten im Dorf, man kommt gut in alle Richtungen. Kann ich jedem empfehlen, der Treppen laufen kann.

Zentral und hübsch
Pros:

Nähe zu den Wanderwegen, im Dorfkern, Restaurant in der Nähe. Hübsch eingerichtet.

Cons:

Es gab keinen Host. Kästchen mit Schlüsselcode. Im Schlafsaal sucht sich jeder ein Bett aus. Wer unten schlafen möchte muss früh dran sein.
