GutsAlm Harlachberg

We were able to experience a wonderful wedding here - everything was just perfect - we can absolutely recommend it!!!

We recently got married at the Gutsalm.In hindsight, we should have gotten married somewhere else.What was nice: the location, the view and the food. Being able to have a civil wedding outdoors was definitely a highlight. But that was it.It started with the fact that a large part of the alpine pasture was a construction site when we arrived. We were informed of this by email shortly before, but when we visited the Alm in April 24, not a word was said about it.The room booking didn't work for any of our guests. One got the wrong room, one was charged for the child as an adult, so when he reported it and the bill was changed to child, it was suddenly more expensive, etc. All in all, not a good impression.On the day of the wedding, the room should be ready for the celebration at 9 a.m. After 10 o'clock the room wasn't ready, which caused more stress for everyone.There was an apple tree right next to the room, full of wasps. When we brought it up, all we said was, “It’s nature. There’s nothing you can do about it.” A bunch of wasps were constantly buzzing around you. One was allergic and was scared all evening. One was stung.Of course we are in nature. However, you can't have a tree full of rotten apples right where guests are celebrating.The service for the rest of the celebration was a disaster. When asked what wine there was, she replied: “Red, white and rosé”. She didn't know any more details. The mixed drinks were all sugary sweet and inedible. A guest ordered a juice and received a mixture of 50% (!) syrup and 50% water - undrinkable.The plates were put away even when you were still eating. The children ordered schnitzel with spaetzle and got fries.My mother asked for a Riesling and the waitress said: “That’s not possible. The Rewe is already closed.”Suddenly the waitress came and said the tub was being heated up for us, even though we hadn't booked it. 30 minutes later she came again and said: “Oh, the tub is for the other family who also has such a strange name.” Thank you.The non-alcoholic champagne that was ordered wasn't there at the champagne reception and was then found in the evening. Unfortunately only one bottle although it was previously discussed that a large part of society drinks non-alcoholic.The worst part was when I asked if we could leave everything until tomorrow. At first the waitress said it wouldn't be a problem, but didn't know until when.After 30 minutes they said everything had to be put up and out by 12. So we started cleaning up for our own wedding from 11 a.m. onwards, even though there was an open-end celebration on offer (just no service after 12 p.m.). The celebration was over. We were shown the door promptly at 12 p.m.In the conversation afterwards we were told that we could have left everything and that the waitress was “still new and inexperienced”. Then she cannot serve a wedding on her own, but has to be properly trained.A cake was ordered on offer and we had leftover cake that we had paid for.When asked if we could take the cake with us, we said: “No, we'll sell it tomorrow. He is just a “kindness gift from the Alm”. But it is also a gift, a gift and the cake was paid for with the guest allowance.We could have done whatever we wanted with the cake for an hour and it would have been sold to guests the next day. The room prices are steep, especially when you consider what is on offer, for example in the studio.We were unable to use the flat rate paid. Our wedding ended in an eviction and the drinks were mostly undrinkable.All in all, the Alm offers a nice location. However, price and performance are not right! After all these mistakes and the reaction of the Alm, which didn't accommodate us at all, we absolutely cannot recommend the Alm for such a special day.

We ended up there by chance. We are very excited. Beautiful location, very good food and friendly service. Big praise!

Didn't eat there but the surroundings are beautiful 5/5.

We have often stopped at the Alpine pasture, but unfortunately since this year we have the impression that cyclists are no longer welcome there.The staff had absolutely no desire to serve us, the drinks came carelessly and incorrectly, only after we had ordered at the counter.

A great location, not just for wedding celebrations.

**Review of the Gutsalm Bodenmais: An interplay of extremes**The Gutsalm Bodenmais is a gastronomic gem, embedded in the picturesque landscape of the Bavarian Forest. On my first visit, the Gutsalm impressed with its harmonious overall impression. The service staff was attentive and friendly, the food pleased everyone's palate, and the quiet atmosphere of the not-too-busy restaurant contributed to an overall pleasant experience. This culinary pampering program made us look forward to a second visit.But on the second visit, just two days later, the other side of the Gutsalm revealed itself. The restaurant, this time well attended, still shined with its beautiful outdoor dining, but the initial magic quickly faded. The two service staff didn't seem to be able to cope with the onslaught of guests. It took 41 minutes for our drink order to be taken and other guests also had to wait a long time for the staff's attention. Ordering the food, however, went quickly and the quality of the food did not disappoint. Unfortunately, we felt overlooked in the hectic pace and excessive demands of the staff, which greatly spoiled the positive impression of the first visit.In summary, the Gutsalm Bodenmais offers a pleasant atmosphere and high-quality food, but you should avoid peak times to enjoy an experience that is just as satisfying as a less busy visit.**Final sentence:**The Gutsalm Bodenmais is worth recommending, as long as you avoid peak times to experience the full beauty and hospitality of this idyllic place.

Great food with super friendly service. A fantastic view and children are actually very welcome! An absolutely recommended address for everyone!We'd love to come back!

A beautiful place.Unfortunately the service was absolutely bad. A gentleman and a lady. We waited over 15 minutes to get a card. In the meantime I had asked other guests whether it might be self-service.The other guests wanted to pay, which took forever. Apart from clearing up the dishes. Very unloving. With the right staff it would definitely be a relaxing oasis. Unfortunately the food was only lukewarm, but we were hungry and didn't want to wait any longer.

Good food with a nice view
