I would highly recommend this hotel. The views of the snow topped mountains are amazing. Staff was great and the breakfast was perfect. We would stay here again on a future visit.

Breakfast was ok
There was no one to talk live. Have to call them for little things like iron. No iron, no tissues box, old carpet with smell. Night time chef was friendly but other young girl was who was managing everything was rude. I don’t recommend it if you want to use local transportation. You must have rent a car or personal vehicle to get there.

The property has a very good view of the mountains.. lots and lots of hiking trails, about 250 miles.. what we enjoyed most in our stay was the food! Mr. Bogda Constantine is the Cheff on site.. Amazing! Him and his wife were so wonderful together they bring value to this establishment! They were very attentive and sweet! Will definitely come back!

This hotel is amazing. The village is quiet. The views are stunning and the room decoration is fabulous. Also Bogdan is doing a great job in the kitchen. Tip: book a room with a jacuzzi at the deck.

Great place, communications not so good
The building and setting are absolutely lovely. The breakfast was good. However, on the night we stayed, the restaurant was closed. The owner did apologise for his oversight in not informing Hotels.com customers, but we could not understand why he could not either have made arrangements with other local places to provide cover or at least left a list of recommendations of places which would have been open. We could not find anywhere and had to miss out on an evening meal

A beautiful, quite and quaint spot
A great choice for a quiet, somewhat remote stay in the alps. Beautiful area with quaint rooms and shared bathroom on each level. Not a luxury spot but well worth the effort to visit and stay there - would recommend it!

Small chalet hotel up a winding mountain road. We were upgraded to a room with a private bath.The room had a beautiful view but...we had to tell the owner what time we were arriving so he could let us out n which put pressure on us to arrive on time. When we arrived he told us the restaurant was closed. The closest one was about 9km down that same winding road. Fortunately there was a small shop where we could buy buns, cheese etc. My question is when he emailed to ask our arrival time why didn’t he tell us then that the restaurant was closed we could have eaten before arriving at the hotel.

Small Swiss Village Horrors.
After visiting 88 countries and spent 100s and 100s of nights in hotel, this grumpy rude person running this hotel has to be one of the worst highlights of it all. I have made and paid reservation around 10:40PM to sleep a night here (only due to logistics), and as Im driving there I give him a call. He said "You dont come here, we are closed, you can not come"...but he picked up a landline, so I knew for a fact that he is in house. I asked him, as it is a pre-paid reservation, and Im a short drive away, could he at least please leave a key in a mailbox, he just said no, in the rudest way possible. Having zero concern whatsoever about where I am going to stay, or the fact that I have a VALID reservation to his hotel. Also, leaving a key behind for a late (AND PRE-PAID) reservation is perfectly common everywhere in the world.... I can only imagine how he must be with the guests who actually make it there.

Comfortable hotel with a great view.
Lovely quaint hotel in the middle of the mountains, we had a great view from our hotel room. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and I'd recommend. But just worth noting that it's not a fancy place but has all the basics for a comfortable stay.

Nice old hotel in quiet location
This is an excellent place to stay if you are a walker or skier. It is located in a quiet unspoiled valley but has a ski lift and a network of hiking trails close by. Could be used as a base for exploring the Interlaken and Jungfrau area if you don't mind driving 5 or 6 km down a windy road. Well worth it to avoid the tourist craziness in those parts.

Nice hotel with mountain views
Finding the hotel proved to be a bit of a hassle because on the building it says Hotel Baren but our booking from Expedia said Hotel Baeren located in Reichenbach. Also it's located in Kiental which is on the mountainside and not Reichenbach which is down in the valley. We arrived in the area by car at about 4:30pm after driving from Augsburg, Germany and drove by the hotel the first time until we realized we were lost. On the way back we stopped at the Hotel Baren and when we showed them the print out from Expedia they said the Hotel Baeren was down in the valley in Reichenbach. However, when we found the Hotel Baeren they didn't have our reservation and called the Hotel Baren who had our reservation so we had to drive back up the mountain to Kiental. As we had to be in Interlaken for a 6:00pm tour we quickly unpacked and just made our tour in time. The room was rustic with no soap or shampoo in the bathroom but the room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. The breakfast buffet which was included with the price of the room was good and the restaurant was open late for dinner. Having a grocery store across the street was also very convenient. If you stay at this hotel just be prepared to drive up a mountainside with a very narrow winding road. The pay back is the view of surrounding mountains and picturesque Swiss chalets with their flower boxes. It's about a 45 minute drive from Interlaken.

Good hotel to hike the Kiental Valley
Charming hotel in the Swiss Alps. The young woman who checked us in and waited tables in the restaurant was very nice and very helpful - I think this is a family run establishment. This is more of a ski hotel and it shows, but it was perfectly acceptable for our needs. It is not haute couture or grand in décor but I would stay here again as a beginning to hike the Kiental valley.

Ein sehr schönes Hotel in mitten der Berge mit toller Aussicht und privatem Whirpool. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker mit genügend Auswahl. Vor Ort gibt es zudem ein tägliches Gericht als Abendessen, dieses war sehr lecker. Der Check in funktioniert reibungslos. Ein wenig mehr Sichtschutz beim Whirlpool wäre schön. Zudem haben die Zimmer keinen Fernseher

En pärla i Kiental
Underbart historiskt litet hotell i Kiental. Vi bokade kort inpå men hade verkligen en toppen vistelse. När regnet kom låg vi i jacuzzin och blickade ut över bergstopparna. Här hade jag kunnat spendera nån vecka bara för att ladda batterierna!
