Le migliori recensioni!
Leggiamo ogni recensione e apprezziamo sinceramente tutti i tipi di feedback. Quelli positivi sollevano il nostro spirito e quelli critici ci aiutano a crescere.
Detto questo, abbiamo deciso di non rispondere individualmente a ogni singola recensione. Scegliamo invece di concentrare il nostro tempo e le nostre energie sul miglioramento effettivo delle cose qui all'ostello.
We know that nowadays, people often expect businesses to reply to every review - partly to show they care, and partly to boost visibility online. And we do care, deeply. But replying to every single comment just so it looks like we care feels inauthentic to us. We’re a very human bunch, and we love connecting in real ways. We’d rather keep things real than turn reviews into a checkbox exercise.
Sappiamo anche che le recensioni sono profondamente personali e soggettive. Per favore leggili con questo in mente e prendi ciò che ti è utile per decidere se Balmers è il posto giusto per il tuo soggiorno.
On a more personal note: getting a negative review, especially when it’s rooted in a lack of communication, can be really disheartening. Il nostro team è sempre presente e disponibile per una chiacchierata di persona e puoi anche contattarci tramite e-mail, telefono o WhatsApp se qualcosa non va durante il tuo soggiorno. Preferiremmo di gran lunga provare a sistemare le cose in tempo reale piuttosto che leggerle più tardi quando è troppo tardi per aiutare.
Tutti qui a Balmers si preoccupano sinceramente di ciò che facciamo. Vogliamo che il tempo trascorso con noi diventi parte del tipo di ricordi "buoni, migliori, sorprendenti" che porterai a casa.

Home is where the hostel kitchen is. ❤️
One of our favorite parts of summer at Balmers is watching the communal kitchen come alive in the evenings. Tonight, we’re swapping out standard backpacker pasta for a true Swiss masterpiece: homemade fondue! 🫕✨

🇨🇭…and it’s only 30 minutes from interlaken! definitely a slower and calmer pace in the region.
🌟definitely a good day trip from interlaken and glad we didnt skip this town while in the jungfrau region!
📍 Thun
One of the most underrated day trips in Switzerland. It has alpine views, a turquoise river, castle views, and a charming Old Town that feels straight out of a postcard.
📍 MUST VISIT SPOTS IN THUN
• Thun Castle
• Aare River walkways
• Obere Hauptgasse
• Lakefront promenade on Lake Thun
• Cute cafés + riverside restaurants throughout Old Town
🌟 Easy train access from Interlaken, Bern, or Lucerne.
🌟Visit in the morning before any tour groups arrive
🌟Walk both sides of the river for different views

If summer had a secret escape, it would probably look like Bachalpsee.
Turquoise water, alpine silence, and mountains reflecting like a mirror — the kind of place that makes you forget your phone for a minute and just exist✨

Checking into a hostel is never just about getting a bed—it’s about who you share the room, the kitchen, and the stories with. 🌍✨ Thanks @travelerargentina for this picture.
From cooking chaotic group dinners to swapping hiking tips over a beer, hostel life is where strangers become lifelong friends in less than 24 hours. Here’s to the late-night chats, the early-morning mountain callings, and the global family you didn`t know you needed.
📍 Your Interlaken home base since day one. 🇨🇭

Finding that perfect daily balance. 🧘♂️🌊
A chilly evening dip, a warm sunset, and absolute quiet. Sometimes the best itinerary for a Swiss summer day is simply having no itinerary at all. Just you, the water, and the peaks. 🌲🌅

Right foot blue, left hand yellow, and any remaining dignity out the window. 🎲👀
Just a standard evening at Balmers, breaking the ice the only way we know how: total, uncoordinated chaos. It turns out "left" and "right" get significantly harder to balance after a local beer. 🇨🇭🍻

Not the first activity that comes to mind in spring, but probably the most exciting one at this time of year! Imagine having the canyon all to yourself and your friend - smaller groups, less waiting, more action. No gear, no experience, no equipment, and no transportation needed - everything is provided. All you have to do is meet us in Interlaken and bring a towel.

Mirror-calm water and the glow of the Swiss Alps. 🏔️✨
There is no better way to experience Lake Brienz than from a kayak. We’ve teamed up with the legends at @hightidekayak to get you out on the turquoise water for the ultimate sunset session. It’s peaceful, it’s magical, and it’s a perspective of Interlaken you’ll never forget. 🛶🌅

Welcome to Lauterbrunnen — where water writes the soundtrack of the Alps🇨🇭
In this hidden Swiss valley, summer doesn’t just look beautiful… it sounds magical. Rivers whisper through the landscape, waterfalls fall like slow-motion poetry, and every corner feels alive with nature’s rhythm.
🎧 Turn up the volume. Let the water take you there.

Flying over the Swiss Alps on the Grindelwald First Glider was one of the most thrilling adventures of my trip to Switzerland. The ride gives you panoramic views of the Jungfrau region, snow-capped mountains, and lush alpine valleys. It’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and scenery. If you’re looking for unique things to do in Grindelwald, this experience should be at the top of your Switzerland bucket list.
