Reviews of Rinderberg Lodge 3 stars

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

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.

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!

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.

Wellness Sauna/Outdoor wood fired hot tubs

Beautiful location, the little road to go up offers such a stunning view. Quiet and peaceful with a nice forest-valley view from the Sauna and hot tub. Very charming place! I loved the room as well, will definitely come back!

Location, Style.

No coffee or tea in the room.

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.

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.

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.

The Spa, the sun terrace, the comfort of the beds

The staff at the reception was not friendly and breakfast is serves at 8 o‘clock! Too late for a place where people leave early to go hiking.

The service is was excellent.Mr. Hassan really makes us feel welcome and comfortable.

The hot tubs

Everything, the location and the attention to details. The planting and also the tasteful interior. The wellness is extraordinary, on a terrasse,overlooking the view !

Absolutely everything was great

We took the gondola (5 min walk from the station) from Zweisimmen to the lodge. It was really easy and comfortable. The accommodation surpasses our expectations. We stayed here in July, and the views were breathtaking. The spa/wellness centre was amazing. The rooms were fresh, clean, and they had everything you needed.

Since the lodge is far from any shops or supermarkets, we would like to have a fridge in the room

The chalet accommodation experience was simply perfect. When we woke up in the morning, we listened to the bells of the cows grazing around on our balcony. It was a peaceful stay. The breakfast was delicious. The staff was very warm and helpful. It was a place where I would like to stay longer.

It has amazing view.

The location is amazing! If you don't have a car, make sure the cable car is functional, because the lodge is up the mountain from the village and there's no way to get up there on your own, except with the cable car. The spa & sauna make a relaxing retreat after a hike up the mountain. The cows are close to the lodge and their bells make a beautiful symphony.

Nothing!

I love this place
