Review history 347 dated reviews · 2016-01 → 2026-09
Monthly average (1–5)Smoothed trend
Review counts: 347 Google
What the trend suggests
Possible review removal2016-02 – 2017-0375% confidence
14-month gap with rating stable at 5.0 (delta +0.00) suggests reviews were removed or suppressed rather than a property closure followed by renovation. The hotel appears to have continued operating during this period with sporadic reviews resuming in 2017, consistent with review platform changes or moderation rather than physical closure.
Issue resolved2019-01 – 2026-0980% confidence
Early reviews (2019-Q1 to 2019-Q2) mention specific amenities (sauna, Jacuzzi, outdoor hot tub) as standout features. Post-2022 reviews after the new Berghaus building opened focus overwhelmingly on modern apartment design, wellness facilities, and hospitality rather than equipment novelty. The shift from emphasizing 'equipment' to 'experience' and 'atmosphere' suggests initial facility limitations were resolved by the 2022 renovation/expansion, eliminating a prior competitive disadvantage.
Possible recovery2022-01 – 2026-0985% confidence
Sustained recovery beginning 2022-01 (5.0 average, 4 reviews) through 2026-09 (5.0 average, 2 reviews), with review volume stabilizing at 4–26 reviews/month by late 2024–2026. Ratings remain consistently at 5.0 (with minor dips to 4.6–4.92 in isolated months), establishing a 4+ year plateau of high performance and customer satisfaction. This follows the 2022 property opening and reflects successful operational integration and guest loyalty.

Book the geführte Wanderung (guided hike) with Andi — he's a professional mountain guide who customizes tours and shares deep regional knowledge
