Hello, we were with our granddaughter on her first vacation, from October 5th to October 8th, 2024 in your hotel. It's a beautiful hotel. I picked it out because they have a special room offer. When we booked, we were promised a room with a large four-poster bed and a large mattress for three people. We had promised our granddaughter a surprise. I called again, it was from a young man, he promised. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were disappointed. Our granddaughter was very sad. We were put off with strange explanations, but honestly, we're not stupid. The day after we arrived the room became available, and a day later it was supposedly booked again. We would have liked to have come a day later and stayed longer. But lying about our booking like that? Sorry, it really wasn't great. A child's heart was hurt. Everything else was very nice, but trust is different. It's a shame because they are advertised as children in a friendly way. Stay healthy, maybe we'll see each other again. Kind regards, the Koch family

Unfortunately there wasn't much with wellness, the second 3-course menu was also canceled and we were directed to the operator's brother, 4km away. Massage and wellness did not take place during this time without prior notice.It's a shame because it was a recommendation.

If you are considering a holiday in the Eastern Ore Mountains and you definitely should: stay at the Naturhotel Bärenfels! There are excellent suites and rooms, extensively renovated during the Corona period. There is also a very nice atmosphere in the guest rooms or on the terrace and the "caring spirits" serve in a heartwarming manner. Don't miss this!

Spent a weekend here with my wife. It was great. Great host, great service, great food.We had the bear suite. A great room, although there are several rooms. Includes sauna, which we didn't use due to the weather. The food was amazing and the price was completely okay for me. Visit this hotel, or the restaurant, or both. It's worth it.
