Pros +
- 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!
- 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.
Cons -
- 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.
- No coffee or tea in the room.
- 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.

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.

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.
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 !
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.
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!
Very attentive and hospitable staff. The breakfast was very satisfying and the location with the views was outstanding.
Breakfast was good. One very happy Egyptian employee. Young lady at reception friendly as well. Room was excellent (the suite in this cas
Rest of crew not too friendly. Was not even clear Who the owner was. Seems not to show interest in his place. Allthough almost no guest in hotel, no pick-up was offered woensdag arriving with all the luggage. Dinner obviously expensive (no surprise though). No own parking spot/not Ny arrangement.. no clear instruction.. additionally to be pand for.
Room and spa
Unfriendly staff, slow service, no athmosphere in restaurant , restaurant closed at 9pm, fireplace unused, no bar
What is not to like. Staff was incredible friendly. We had our big Bernese mountain dog with us and it was very dog friendly. Food and location is 10/10!
A nice lounge area for after dinner drinks.
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)
nothing- is a great place
Spa and direct access to hiking trails and the telecabine to go to the top of Rinderberg.
The room was a lot less nice than I expected. No light and not cozy at all.
Sauna, friendly staff, food, location
Shower drainage was very poor. It made the bathroom floor all wet.
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).
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.
Fantastic location! All the staffmembers were very efficient and friendly. Great views, very quiet.
EVERYTHING IS JUST AMAZING. The photos you see here can’t explain to you how beautiful this place is. Just book it you will not regret it. It’s mentioned that the check in time is super early but the lady left the keys hidden so we could check in at any time (we arrived at 1 am). There’s only one thing: at night, you have the road blocked by an electric fence, we stopped there in the middle of the night, no light at all, trying to figure how to pass this electric fence. It’s easier than it seems, you just run your car through it and it’s ok! Such an Amazing place with AMAZING STAFF!!!
Absolutely nothing.
