Service and readiness of the staff to adress problems. Excellent view on the lake from the hotel.

One of the elevators was not accessible by wheelchair. Therefore also some of the hotel's facilities could not be used (e.g. the restaurant).

Overall: Very satisfied and hoping to return there in the future.  (107869660)

quiet, friendly, private rooms. lake views. breakfast muesli delicious.

the table at breakfast next to window was unstable becuase the floor wasn't flat. pool out of order due to flood but this was well explained. need more of the blue gismos to let people in car park. residents need to hand them back quicker.

Overall: excellent  (107387761)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
