Reviews of Chalet Elza

We were met at the station by the host, who collected us and our bags in his car and drove us to the chalet. He had a baggage carrier to carry our bags up the path to the door, and showed us around, explaining how to use the washing machine and sauna and where the various outdoor cushions were. The property was really nice, and as shown in the photos. The property is a 10 minute walk, slightly up hill and up steps, from the station, but therefore downhill after you've been out all day, and along the river. Really quiet and peaceful.

Perhaps a bedside table in the twin room would have been nice, but everything else is lovely.

I booked the Chalet Elza for a close friend and his family for a one week stay. They were driving in from Germany and were looking for accommodations that were close to Lauterbrunnen and included parking. I had read numerous reviews of the Chalet Elza and they all rated it excellent. From the time I booked it Dave reached out to me and answered all of my questions. The Chalet is only a 20 minute walk from Lauterbrunnen. It is easy to see that Dave and his wife Patricia have worked diligently to make sure that the chalet still retains its rustic charm but also has all the modern amenities. The facility includes a washer and dryer and also a sauna. Dave lives close which is always a plus these days with so many absentee owners. Even though I did not personally stay at the Chalet Elza, I toured it with Dave when we arrived in Lauterbrunnen. My friends are a husband and wife and 2 young children. They had nothing positive comments on their stay

Nothing negative to say. There is a short walk up the hill to the chalet but that is fairly common.

Everything was excellent. I loved the property. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were always nice, and they answered all our questions in a short time.

I have no complaints.

It was quiet - away from the busy town but close enough to be walkable.

I wish all the windows had screens because the flies were annoying.

The hosts were very helpful & accommodating. They helped us ferry our luggage over so that we can tour the town. The chalet was spacious & very welcoming. We had a great time there. Wished we could have stayed longer there.

Beautiful property, requires a short walk through an alpine meadow to access. Wonderful beds, well equipped kitchen and nice porch area.

The low doorways and raised thresholds were a challenge.

Great lcoation to LauterBrunnen, very clean, nice layout. Great cat - Wilson!

No breakfast provided

The main level ceilings are extremely low and a hazard for anyone over 5'10". My friend and I constantly hit our heads on the beams. The only bathroom is extremely small and uncomfortable to use. Ceiling height needs to be mentioned upfront in the listing.

Great location, well equipped and very attentive hosts.

Chalet Elza is the perfect spot. Away from downtown but a short walk ( 10-15 min) to the town centre. Dave was very friendly and responsive. Wonderful spot and has everything you need.

Ceilings are a little low if you are tall.

Chalet Elza has everything we need for a wonderful experience. Owner Dave was super helpful and friendly as well. We will definitely be back our next Switzerland trip! Of course, Wilson the resident cat was mighty cute! We felt extra safe with Wilson guarding us 😊!

Location is slightly out of the way.

A Truly Magical Stay at Chalet Elza! Our stay at Chalet Elza in Lauterbrunnen was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Dave, the host, who went above and beyond to make our experience smooth and memorable. He was extremely friendly, accommodating, and incredibly flexible—willing to pick us up and drop us off during both check-in and check-out, which made our travels so much easier. The chalet itself is stunning. Nestled in one of the most breathtaking valleys in the world, the view from the front of the property is absolutely jaw-dropping—straight out of a postcard. Every corner of the chalet was spotless, well-maintained, and felt safe and cozy. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into keeping the space neat, tidy, and welcoming. This stay was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t recommend Chalet Elza (and Dave!) enough. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Literally nothing. Our stay was perfect.

This Chalet is perfect in every way! 100% recommended. Location is great, it’s private! The host are amazing! I’ll will come back again whenever I’ll visit again!

Beautiful place, with a fireplace, grill, nice living room and spacious rooms. Really lovely place. The owner was very attentive and helpful, provided sledges, got us whatever we needed and advice on where to go, as well as drove us to town and back on check-in and out. The shower was a bit tight and ran out of hot water a few times, and it takes about 15 mins to get to town on a bit of a slippery path in winter.

It’s incredibly quiet place with a wood house of a dream - cozy beds with illustration, aromatic fireplace inside and outside the house, bbq place, big field for a private place spending. Manager Dave was so polite and friendly- all services he gave from heart. We felt cared for.

Maybe I have a lack of small children’s chair, in bath as mother of a small child. Also being pregnant we had some a need for taxi and food delivery as well.

Great location of the main road and a 10 minute walk to the centre of Lauterbrunnen. Great contact with the hosts who ensured our stay was perfect with great local tips! Would definitely recommend and go again.

Everything. The sauna. The two floors. The rusticity.

Risking early checkout.

The hosts Patricia and David were so lovely and helpful. They met us at the train station and took us to the chalet. The Chalet is only a short walk from town, but such a gorgeous walk along the river, we loved doing it. The chalet was everything we wanted for a traditional stay in Switzerland for our family of 4 adults. It was clean, well stocked in the kitchen, laundry and sauna access, comfy beds, an amazing view, indoor (very easy to light) and outdoor fire that we loved looking down the valley and easy access to the mountains. Could not fault this property or the owners. I would highly recommend, and would stay again if we return.

Nothing - everything was perfect.
