    We come to Zweisimmen every winter (holiday house) and I always wanted to stay in this hotel (half way up the mountain). We booked a room with a view (!) for 4 nights in Summer. It was a pleasure. Good breakfast and dinner was fine as well.

    Breakfast buffet was already a bit scarce even though I was not that late. The value was very good for me depending on the booking time and that it was not fully occupied but i think In the winter it might be a different story. The road to the place could have a small sign explicitly stating that Hotel guests are allowed to use the private road through the cow fields.

    Great location with very nice spa, good restaurant and good value (in my case). Rooms are very nice and cozy. Spa was very relaxing (not busy). Great views.

    nothing- is a great place

    Fantastic outdoor wood fired hot tub- perfect for a soak after a day hiking or skiing. the breakfast is very nice and lots of fresh local produce. Very friendly hosts- our room was splendid and it felt in the middle of the meadows and lulled to ship by the gentle cling cling of cow bells. Easy reachable by cablecar or car (summer only)

    Water was very expensive. We had to drink from the bathroom tab. There was only one staff at the reception during checkout hours so it was pretty slow.

    Spa seemed nice. Friendly staff. An interesting & special experience when going there through gondola. Nice place to take a short walk around. View is pretty cool. Breakfast was nice (the scrambled eggs was a bit salty).

    That I did not have the chance to visit the spa area, or sample some of the wines. What a pity.

    The rooms (2) were quiet, very clean and well-equipped. Breakfast was great. The restaurant provided extremely tasty food from the local suppliers. The range of wines was impressive. The garden area with the beautiful range of flowers and the relaxing sun area was quite unique. The spa area was a great addition and the proximity of the gondola (cable car) to the hotel connected the town of Zweisimmen, the hotel Rinderberg and the mountain top. The view from the balcony was breathtaking.

    Dinner was very disappointing, staff were a bit brusque and the food was poor. Had to send meat back because it was over-cooked and the second try arrived in the same state. Spoiled the evening for us, and it wasn't cheap. Although we mentioned our disappointment to the restaurant staff and then mentioned it again at check-out, nothing was offered to compensate us. pretty poor customer service.

    What an amazing location! You are really up in the hills, makes you feel like you're Heidi or the family von trapp from the Sound of Music. Rooms are quite small but well laid out. Loved the outside hot-tubs heated by wood fires!

    Reviews didn’t mention that the drive up at night is a long drive on a narrow alpine road . We arrived approximately at 9 pm and the front door to the reception was locked and not lit up . There should be an intercom and lighting at the front entrance for guests arriving late.

    Breakfast was very good . Accommodation were clean and beautifully designed. Staff were very helpful.

    We have booked superior double room, should be with good mountain view. However we got a quadruple room on 1st floor (the lowest floor) with a lot of insects coming to our room at night. Staff said the hotel is fully booked, but not correct as we saw only few customers. Breakfast room is full of insects and fly. Unbelievable.

    Environment is good as it is near to the top of the mountain.

    Two VERY minor things that could be improved on: yes, like other reviews stated there were flies. They were a bit annoying but didn’t detract from our experience. Second, the room could use some hooks in the bathroom for wet towels. There was nowhere to hang them. These things would not keep me away.

    We enjoyed every thing about our stay at Rinderberg Lodge. The train to Zweisimmen had beautiful views. It was fun to ride the gondola up to the hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful—the perfect mix of modern and mountain, wood and concrete. We were offered lemon water and prosecco upon arrival as the first guests of the summer season. The staff were wonderful from arrival onward. The facilities are spotless. The views are gorgeous. We didn’t make use of the sauna because it was very hot the afternoon we arrived, so can’t comment on that. However, the garden outside the restaurant deck is a beautiful place to sit and explore. Since we had been traveling with backpacks we were mostly interested in a respite and relaxation rather than adventure and hiking, but the opportunities are here. I enjoyed hanging out with some cows (love the cowbells) on the other side of the fence. Our dinners were delicious. The chef adapted a dinner dish to be dairy-free and gluten-free for me. GF and DF together has been difficult in Switzerland, but here it was easy (limited but good choices). At breakfast there were excellent packaged gluten-free rolls, fruit, fresh bread, sliced meats, and pastries. I’m going to look for the GF bread in stores it was that good. I had sent a note to the hotel about my food intolerances in advance. There is oat milk alternative here. I would 100% stay here again. I wish we had another night!
