Was not warned about that hill lol. Make sure to arrive when the bus is still running to avoid the hike.

Beautiful view in the back garden. Clean facilities and generous breakfast.

The female dorms were a little small, no space to store luggage in the room but we made do. Bunks moved a lot and were squeaky (I had a top bunk)

Great spot, easy access to the bus or a 15 minute walk to the centre of town. Breakfast in the morning was great. Dorms had a kitchen and toilets /showers were clean. Had to share toilets /showers with males which was fine.

The electric plug isn’t available around each bed

The view

It would be nice if each bunk had a power outlet for charging. The bunk beds are a bit unstable, and even a slight movement disturbs others. Located on a hillside, it's recommended to take the bus.

Great view. Friendly staff. Very clean.

Not the hostel's responsibility but some other dorm users put their alarm at 4.30AM to pack their stuff, waking up everyone in the room 😅 The blanket is too warm for summer. The bus 122 is handy but it only runs until 6.44PM. If you miss it, you will have to walk along a steep path.

Simple breakfast that was more than enough to get going for the day: several types of bread, jams, spreads, fruits, hams, cheese, coffee and tea. The group bathrooms were clean and the shower was working well. The lounge/guest room was comfy. The dorm room had enough space.

The bunk beds in the dorm are quite basic but fine

Clean, welcoming hostel with nice communal spaces

The lower bunk bed is practically on the floor. It was hard to get up. There is just one ceiling light in the room. I wish there were individual lights at each bed. The room we stayed in (2nd floor) was extremely hot at night with windows closed (the outside temp was ~20 Celsius so not that hot). We did not want to let the bugs in, so we kept the windows closed, and did not expect the insulation to be working so well :/ The next night we left the windows a bit open and it was much cooler.

Location is good. About 15 minutes to walk to the train station and coop. There is a 122 bus stop right at the hostel. The yard, ping pong table, hammocks, the view are all pretty amazing. My kids loved the owner's dog. Breakfast was good also.

Walls were a bit thin so we could hear some noise from the corridor, but it was generally fine. As others have noted, it is located up a very steep hill, so the bus is a good option if you prefer not to walk.

Nice hostel in a beautiful location - very green and quiet with lovely mountain views. The rooms were simple but had everything we needed, bathrooms were clean and breakfast was nice. Staff were friend, communication was clear and overall we had a great say - a really good budget option in Grindelwald if you don't mind the walk/bus.

The noise from other guests as the walk through the hostel for shared bathroom and shared toilet. Do you own bed and bring the bag up and down stairs.

Very well situated, shared kitchen, breakfast provided and 10 mins to the train station via bus 122 and the bus stop is just infront of the hostel. Clean toilet, bathroom though shared and clean room. The view from Naturfreunde Hostel is very nice

"Mattresses" are really bad.

Great breakfast. Cool garden to relax and enjoy the stunning view in front of the north face.

Dorm beds old and shaky frames. Two toilets for two dorms (>10 people) is a bit little. Recommendation to change dorm bed frames, add personal plugs and add a curtain to each bed for privacy and to protect from the light

The friendly staff, nice common spaces and beautiful view. Luggage storage.

The walls were very thin and people woke us up late at night and early in the morning

Views, cleanliness, breakfast and staff!

We asked if we can check in earlier They replied that yes we can. When we came then nobody was there and we got no help. So we wasted about 2 hours to wait. Noone came. If you promise them please keep promises as well!

Nice place

There was no air conditioning or a fan for the summer months.

The hostel was very clean and well layed out. The hostel also provides free bus travel to get to and from grindelwald town which is only a short 5 minute journey.

Clean, quiet, good view, friendly staff But the only problem is we went there by train and arrive hostel by bus but the bus go to the hostel finish at 6pm so if you have many baggage it’ll be a bit difficult but if not it would be a perfect place to stay because it not to far from the gare but you have to go uphill to the hostel And the bus stop is right in front of the hostel

everything is good!

Dog is sooo cute!

The place was friendly and informal, perfect for the many hikers who stayed there. The views from the garden were beautiful. It's easy to get to with a bus from the centre of Grindelwald that is regular and frequent and stops right outside. Dinner was a barbecue, and breakfast was included in the price. My room was small, but functional and the guesthouse requirement to make and strip my own bed was expected. I loved staying there.

Stayed in July 2025

The beds are very squeaky and don’t seem very stable. Bathroom facilities weren’t very clean and toilets ran out of toilet paper quickly. Not very secure - anyone could walk in as the front door was not locked and the rooms were not lockable. The host was a little unfriendly.

The outdoor area is really great and has a lovely view. The bus stops right outside, which is convenient (at least until it stops running in the early evening). Mattress was comfortable.

The lower bunk bed could be higher.

The room was relatively new and the shower and toilet facilities were clean.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was very comfortable and the facilities (shower etc) were all clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and treated us to a delicious home-cooked meal. The location is beautiful - having a beer in the sun in the garden looking up to the mountains was a particular highlight. I'd highly recommend!

The bedding was unusual in that you were expected to cover the sheets with material they provided so as to keep the bedding clean

Fantastic breakfast. NIce location and convenient to transport
