+ Service and rooms okay.A very nice lady at the reception radiates warmth! Bravo.For the rest: friendly MA.Unfortunately the beds were worn out. We had a tea maker and a refrigerator. We also had a balcony!- Choice of food wasn't for us, I still got my children's spaghetti, bravo! :)++ We really liked the sauna, swimming pools and Hatha yoga course. I can highly recommend yoga.+ Due to the location, hiking tours are suitable; these are signposted or you can use an outdoor app.- Only in Vöhl is there a supermarket for everyday items. There are one or two restaurants in Vöhl, but not that recommended and extremely overpriced.-> A visit to Edersee, Korbach or the castle is recommended. :D

If there is something to complain about then it is the long time between the 4 courses at dinner, up to 2 hours with children is simply too long! Then the drinks that aren’t charged aren’t necessarily helpful either 😉Everything else is great and highly recommended! We'll definitely come back.

We have been coming regularly for 15 years, most recently under the leadership of Ms. Freund. Now after three years we were there again for 5 nights.Rooms are getting older and older.Noticeably too few staff, so that many things that used to be standard no longer exist (service savings area, scope and type of applications). Room 417 had some minor damage or missing functions.Unfortunately, the personal and warm spirit of the Freund family and the staff at the time are completely missing.The outside saunas didn't work and were significantly cooler. It is unclear whether it is defective or reduced operation for cost reasons. In the Sals/Saline sauna, the salt stones above the heat source were missing.Exception: the food. We had the menu 5 times and were really excited!Unfortunately, like almost every hotel, the hotel has too many radio stations in the hotel and too high a radiation load, which makes most people happy without knowing their effect. The result is no real relaxation, lots of people constantly looking at their cell phones and harming themselves and others. Brave new world.We will take another look, but expect an increase again.

We went to the hotel for the day spa, including breakfast. The breakfast was fantastic and left nothing to be desired. Then we went to the spa. This is also nice and clean and we felt comfortable. The saunas are also very nice. However, there are a few small drawbacks. 10 euros for a borrowed bathrobe is quite a lot. The indoor pool is supposed to be 30 degrees, that may be true, but we think it's not enough for a spa. If you don't move, it will quickly get cold. I don't even want to talk about the much cooler all-season outdoor pool. Especially since there is no whirlpool for people like us who just want to lounge in the warm water in the spa and don't want to do any laps.What was really unpleasant was that the bar was closed. According to house guests, it wasn't just on that day either. So you had to walk through the entire hotel for a coffee and then sit in your bathrobe in the normal hotel restaurant among fully clothed dining guests. This is more than unworthy of a 4-star superior hotel, and I think there should be enough other solutions despite the lack of staff.Basically it was a successful day with a few blemishes.

We wanted to redeem a 200 euro voucher that we bought from the friend family at the time, but unfortunately this voucher was no longer accepted! This is of course very customer-unfriendly for such a well-known hotel! The employee on the phone politely pointed out to me that she was only passing on management's instructions and that unfortunately she couldn't do anything else. Very very disappointing...

A good hotel, but unfortunately the service, communication, facilities and cuisine did not meet the expectations suggested by the pictures and price. Beautifully landscaped.

I stayed with my granddaughters (7+10) for 2 nights. At the beginning of September at the Hotel Freund and we are completely thrilled. The receptionist welcomed us very friendly. The family room was a highlight, the sleeping accommodations were separated by a sliding door, separate shower and toilet, refrigerator, safe, huge balcony with a great view, lots of towels, bathrobes, spotlessly clean. A 20-minute massage per person was included. The 3 massages could easily be combined for me because the children didn't want a massage, so I spent a whole hour with Dr. Chang got it, which was great. The indoor pool could be used until 10 p.m., so we were able to have a lot of fun in it after the good evening buffet. Breakfast buffet varied, something for everyone. Very friendly staff. We booked a horse ride after breakfast on both days. The riding stable owner, Ms. Eckel, provided us with exactly the right horses for a fantastic ride into the terrain, just the 3 of us plus the riding instructor. The children were thrilled. Thanks to the sunny weather, we were also able to make extensive use of the outdoor pool. Another highlight was the bird of prey free flight show in the wildlife park at Edersee, about 30 minutes from the hotel. Good parking options at the hotel. The children immediately wanted to extend their stay.

The hotel in Oberorke is very nicely located, but is already a bit old, which you notice, for example, when you want to go out onto the terrace. The terrace door doesn't open well. The staff is very nice, but makes a lot of mistakes. Room service also leaves a lot to be desired. The swimming pool and sauna area are not cleaned properly. Everything is great. The kitchen could be better. The exterior facade has a lot of wood, and you can tell that it hasn't been painted in a long time. All in all, if the kitchen was improved and some things were repaired and painted this would be a top hotel

Nice hotel in a quiet location, unfortunately not handicapped accessible, there are elevators, but unfortunately they don't lead to the rooms or the spa or pool, you have to walk up stairs.The dinner took some getting used to. This hotel doesn't deserve 4 stars, at most 3. We won't be coming back

Very nice hotel in Oberorke with its own riding stable, a very large spa area with 6 saunas, swimming pool and an additional heated pool. The whole thing is located in a large, lovingly designed complex. Our half board included an excellent breakfast buffet and the 4 course menu was very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the only small drawback was the sometimes very poor internet. From here you can go on beautiful hikes or bike rides.

Quiet hotel and delicious food. Booked 4 days up and away + massages. 3 nights arrival and departure days makes 4. Okay, but then asking for another €25 for the sauna on the 4th day isn't that great. My massages were scheduled for the day of departure, at breakfast time and check out time. Wonderful relaxation and pure stress.There are thermal baths that are 200x better and cost less, which is why they only get 1 star.Top Wellness 2023? I can't see anything. Infusions only worked very rarely or not at all. You simply expect more.Receptionist doesn't make any effort to please guests. Just taking more money out of your pocket. There will never be 1000x better hotels for that money again.I said goodbye and the lady just said goodbye.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay at the Hotel Freund. We were looking forward to a relaxing weekend in a spa hotel and were prepared to pay a correspondingly high price for it. But unfortunately our expectations were not met.Overall, the hotel looks very old, and the rooms are by no means of the standard that you would expect from a 4-star hotel - more like a 2-star level. The cleanliness also left a lot to be desired (see photos). When we arrived we found an empty jam jar on the balcony, which indicates that it had been superficially cleaned. I don't want to blame the cleaners here as they probably have a lot of rooms to finish in a short period of time. If this is the case, the hotel should invest in more staff to ensure quality.The restaurant was also a disappointment. Most of the food was frozen food, which is absolutely unacceptable for a hotel in this price range. We don't have overly high standards, but at this price the food should be freshly prepared. We can get reheated frozen food at home much cheaper.Unfortunately, the quality of the rooms and the disappointing restaurant led to a very bad atmosphere during our stay. Unfortunately, the weekend that was supposed to be a place to relax was ruined. Ultimately we felt more comfortable at home than in this hotel.In summary, the hotel is way overpriced for what it offers - I wouldn't even pay half the price for it. The only plus point is the hotel's idyllic location. Unfortunately, that won't motivate us to come back.

We spent 3 nights thereHotel and were particularly impressed by the food service. They remembered our room number and made sure that the food was suitable for pregnant women.We enjoyed using the wellness area a lot.The ladies at reception could have been a little more accommodatingNext time, due to the pregnancy, we would request a room that is not on the 4th floor.

We were completely satisfied and are already looking forward to the next time.Food and service were top! Due to a lack of staff, the manager of the house helped with the service himself. Great 👍 an extra five points with an asterisk for this.Our room was lovingly cleaned every day. The wellness area is really something to behold; no wishes remain unfulfilled.Keep it up!

The saunas are really nice. But THE CLEANING IS A JOKE. Neither the bathroom nor the floor were never cleaned during our one week stay. We had coffee and wine cups in the room and they never replaced them for fresh ones even after we specifically asked at the reception. If the hotel thinks it is enough to just replace the towels for guests who stay for longer - you are wrong.
