Actually a nice place, since we saw people with rented canoes on October 14th, we wanted to try it out a few days later. But on October 20th When we asked, we received the answer that this was no longer possible for bird protection reasons. That’s absolutely understandable! It would just be nice if it was on the homepage or somewhere. ..

Very nice location for family celebrations with many people. You can cater for yourself or benefit from what the restaurant has to offer.

Wanted to eat there after a long hike. Unfortunately, the disillusionment came when I saw the “no dogs allowed” sign.Well, anyone who calls themselves “nature lovers” and doesn’t allow dogs in the restaurant doesn’t deserve us as customers. Their prices are not that cheap either. We'd rather look for a restaurant where we are welcome with a dog.(Unfortunately, there was nothing about the ban on her restaurant's homepage.)

Catastrophic price-performance ratio. The room is notable for its uncleaned floors and crusty residue on the bedside tables with no identifiable origin; the only thing that seems to be changed here upon new arrival is the bed cover. Even on this, or more precisely on the bed sheet, you can find a few brown spots. The trash can in the bathroom hasn't been emptied, it's filled to the brim with used towels and the like. It is also interesting that a "triple" room includes a double bed and a mattress on the floor, a fact that coincidentally cannot be seen in the pictures provided online (nor does the dirty and smeared red (plastic?) floor). There are only two positive things about the establishment: firstly, that at least you won't be visited by bed bugs and cockroaches during the night. Twice that the view of the lake is very good. If you're willing to spend more than one night here, watching the sunset could be well worth it. At breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., which is included in the price, you will find a - at least diverse - selection of industrial products. In terms of personnel, the establishment appears to be slightly understaffed, as coffee cups, bowls, etc. are regularly missing, even if only for a short time. The staff seems very young. The freshly washed bowls have milky spots. “Water with CO2” looks like a heavily diluted apple spritzer - or extremely calcareous water. It is probably the latter. Breakfast is based on the self-service principle, which means that you get your own food (as usual in any other restaurant). When you're done, you put your used dishes in a cart where you sort them into waste, plates, glasses, cups and cutlery.WiFi is provided free of charge.Overall, I find the above-average ratings very surprising. Apparently there is also a restaurant on offer during the day, with mostly positive experiences. This of course distorts the view of the establishment as an overnight accommodation, as previous reviewers had similar experiences with the rooms.In summary, almost every price paid seems to be too much. Basic hygiene standards are non-negotiable in every price segment. A similar range of services is offered here as in a youth hostel - just at twice the price. Of course, this does not apply to the hygiene standard, which is much higher in many youth hostels. As a final recommendation, I can only suggest avoiding the “Naturfreundehaus” unless you are prepared to accept the listed shortcomings at the given price.

The staff were very friendly and nice, but I found that the rooms were very run down, there were flies and bugs in every corner, and there were blood stains and brown streaks on the bed sheets

Great as a day guest, disappointing as an overnight guest. Price performance are miles apart. We had booked a studio, which in the photos was perfect for a family.But an overbooking happened here and we had to move to a 5-bed room. Rather unsuitable for a family. The bathroom was in the hallway and you would have to share it with your neighbors - luckily there weren't any. Otherwise we would have checked out immediately as it was unreasonable. At this price! 147 per night with breakfast.I come from the hotel industry myself and speak from experience when I say that people have complained about more balanced breakfast buffets. This breakfast was really just the same every day. Watery milk, coffee so-so. Cappuccino for an additional charge for a whopping 3.70 euros! No egg dishes, just the cheapest baked rolls... every now and then there was also bread, which was actually great!Otherwise there was a not so appealing selection of fruit... no cream cheese... no proper muesli for the kids. Normally I look forward to breakfast on vacation - unfortunately we had to add it because of the children.The rooms and especially the bathrooms are not cleaned during your stay. It's unimaginable to have to share a bathroom with strangers! At that price?Gladly again as a day guest.We always went outside for dinner - the prices are neither family-friendly nor appropriate. Lake Constance is not a free pass for usury.There was a shortage of staff............Overall, a youth hostel that wants to be more?The facility is not maintained and is getting old...We imagined it differently. In fact, the reviews speak for our experiences - great as a day guest, overnight flop.

The food was consistently delicious, the service was attentive and friendly. The location of the house in the Markelfinger Winkel is uniquely beautiful with a clear view of the Mettnau peninsula. It's a shame that we weren't served indoors, even though the sun was a bit "too good" with 30 degrees in the shade that afternoon.

In the bar area it looks like it's under the sun. It is said that at lunchtime there is only cake and chips. Shortly afterwards, an employee carries a plate of fried fish and potatoes past us. German hospitality nil…

Hello, what's going on now?Dog or no dog?Today I was in the meadow with my Maltese dog. Suddenly there was a sign saying “Dogs not allowed”Many good reviews are allowed and welcomed, especially because of dogs.

Rooms and furnishings are getting old. In general the rooms are very small. One suitcase in the room and you have no space. We chose the hotel as a stopover and spent two nights there. In my opinion, these two nights were already expensive. Breakfast was OK but nothing more. The only thing that scored points is the location. Located directly on Lake Constance with a direct jetty to the water. Unfortunately the bridge was broken. So access was blocked. Three four boards were missing and nails were sticking out. I don't understand why this can't be repaired quickly. People still used the footbridge. However, access to the lake and the lawn are not private to the hotel. Anyone can come there and lie down on the lawn. Which isn't a bad thing. Anyone can rent a kayak, canoe and SUP there. The house is reminiscent of a youth hostel but with prices of a good hotel. The house is somewhat remote. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the next train if you take a secret path full of thorns and mosquitoes. This was recommended to us. The normal route takes about 25 minutes. Otherwise you have to drive.

We were only there to swim, it was very crowded (holiday season), but the meadow is nice with shade and sun and, above all, it's free. You also get food and drinks, so it's worth it.
