Property is amazing with beautiful views and beautiful owners who want to be sure, you are happy.Food is great. The only thing, is a little far from town. Not walkable you need a vehicle.
Property 💯 amazing!!!
We enjoyed the views in this small town. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue was the limited hours of operation of the public bus. The last bus from Interlaken departed at 7pm. We ended up paying $60 for taxi to return from Interlaken at one night.
We very much enjoyed our stay here. Very friendly staff. Comfortable room/bed. All was very clean. Breakfast was good. The bathroom needed to be remodeled, but functional, clean, plenty of hot water. I think it is in the owner's plan to redo the bathrooms soon. Location was good for Interlaken area, but in a quiet area instead of busy city. We would stay here again.
Our stay was wonderful at Gasthof Baren. We ate of the the best meals we had on our entire 2 week trip with the most hospitable treatment by our hosts. I would recommend anyone stay at this location, my only wish is that we stayed longer. Habkern is very sweet and I would recommend anyone stay in Habkern and take the bus into interlaken for day trips. The bus was very easy and convenient from the hotel.
Property was in a beautiful area in the country side. Staff was very attentive and they went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of.
The staff was amazing!! When we had to leave early to go to Jungfraujoch and had to miss breakfast, they packed a very generous breakfast with sandwiches, juice and fruit for us to have on our way. They even accommodated my gluten allergy. Tremendous people!
Quaint hotel, some rooms likely better than others
I think a positive stay at this hotel depends a lot on your room assignment and the other guests being respectful of the posted hours. Our room was directly next to the shared terrace, and we slept horribly. It was hot in the room with no fans, but guests were outside our window and in the apartment a story up until very late, and then others were outside early in the morning. We did open the windows for a few hours and that was more pleasant. Overall, it was a pleasant hotel but very sparse and small. My daughter opted to sleep on the floor over the bed as she was too tall. The owners were very kind and the village of Habkern is lovely.
We were surprised at our experience given all the other rave reviews, so we figured it was just the room we got that was not great.
Gasthof Barren provided us with a lovely getaway in a beautiful small village. The hosts could not have been nice and we loved being in the fresh mountain air. The breakfast and the restaurant provided us with delicious meals.
You need to stay at this hotel. It was our favourite hotel in Switzerland. 10 minutes up the mountain from interlaken. It is so peaceful and serene. The staff make you feel like family. The breakfast was amazing and the views. Just wow. The restaurant was fantastic and there is also an amazing bakery across the street. I could go on and on about this place. It’s magical. Stay here!!!
We lived there for three nights. My wife is very picky, but after the first night, she started liking this hotel. The lady and gentleman at the front desk are very helpful and nice. We will keep this memory forever,

Bathroom is too small. When showering water floods the floor. No electric outlet in the bathroom for hairdryer.
The accommodations and the views were superb but what made our stay extraordinary was the people! Karina, Christophe and the rest of their team were amazing

accommodations and restaurant are excellent, especially the food. The windows need screens- insects are getting in the room.
