The owner wanted 1€ for refilling my water bottle with tab water! I find that this is a NO-GO as it breaks with common pratice and given that he gains all of his money with the hikers, which also deserve some appreciation. Even more, he didn't change his opinion after introducing him to the fact that I was a client the evening before.The prices for drinks and food are already above average. Neither his business nor my budget will suffer of the 1€ but it's a question of service mentality, respect and appreciation.

Perfect spot to rest when you hike the Wutach or Schluchtensteig. But for a hotel: not being allowed to sit in the main (and only) room after dinner but having to go in your sleeping room feels unnecessary and not nice

Room is nice and clean, staff are friendly. The food was ok - I didn't expect a star chef menu in a hiking hotel anyway. Breakfast was a nice surprise - tables set for everyone, lots of coffee already on the table, and even the coffee milk warmed to temperature - didn't ask for it, was just done. So in my view good value for money.

We stayed here for one night after hiking from Döggingen via the Wutachachlucht. The accommodation was basic but ok. You have to make your own bed our pillow cases and sheets had broken zips and were looking a bit tired. The bottom sheets were ripped at the corners. However, although the room was small it was clean and adequate with a hot and powerful shower. As others have mentioned there were no curtains in the windows so it got light very early. The dinner (halb Pension) was good but the breakfast was very simple - fresh bread, cheese, low quality ham, jams, honey and tea and coffee. We also opted for the packed lunch for our next day of travel - this was probably the most disappointing - it was sandwiches made from the bread, ham and cheese we had at breakfast (no salad), a cereal bar and an apple. Something different to what we had eaten for breakfast would have been preferable. And there was no water or other drink provided. All in all this was ok but felt a little lazy on the part of the hotel - with a little extra effort and not much additional cost this could have been a little more appetising!

We stayed there for a night after a 26 km hike. The room was spatious. The bed heavenly. Badroom very ok. The owner was also very friendly! The breakfast was nothing special but we asked for some fruit for the next trip and this was offered free of charge and with a smile!

Not to pricey per night, but the food on the terrace is pretty up there in terms of cost. Super expensive tap water, for example.Unfortunately no network (LTE or WiFi) in our room, so planning next day's hike was a bit of a challenge.Showers OK.Bed really(!) bad.

Vegans, be aware: the "vegan" breakfast contained three non-vegan items: Rama margarine, Rioba chocolate hazelnut spread, and honey. Apart from that, we got coffee/tea (no orange juice), bread with marmelade, a vegan spread (ingredients: yeast, water, palm fat, palm oil, etc.), and a bowl with cut carrot, cucumber, paprika and tomato.We had pre-ordered the (vegan) three course dinner and got a leek soup, a mixed salad, and a rice dish. It tasted good-ish, but definitely lacked protein (like beans or lentils).We also ordered the (vegan) "Lunchpaket", which consisted of two sandwiches with the vegan spread, an apple, and a water bottle.As for the room: It had not been cleaned properly when we arrived (despite Corona): there was a piece of ham and pretzel crumbles on the table, and a hair from the previous guest on the night stand (after flagging this, the table got cleaned but not the night stand). One power plug was broken and the windows did not have any blinds or curtains.To summarize:-2 stars for the room issues-2 stars for the food issues+1 star for the good will to offer vegan options= 2 starsNote that there is no mobile connectivity at all around the place. There is a WiFi in the lounge and breakfast area, but it is slow and you will have to ask for the password.PS: In the evening, the waitresses did mostly not wear any mask. In the morning, the business owner (who takes care of the breakfast and payment) did wear a mask, but mostly below his nose and often pulling it away when speaking. This said though, masks were apparently not compulsory in Baden-Württemberg anymore when we where there in July (at least not for guests).

We were hiking on the Schluchtensteig and were eager too arrive at the Schattenmühle after an exhausting day, but boy were we disappointed.First we were taken in by the "friendly" chef waiter of the restaurant, who we don't blame, because all staff present was obviously stressed out and under time constraints by management.But after we got our keys, the next unpleasant surprise. The room was tiny. But not because the building is old or not that big. No, it was recently renovated and huge. Its just because the owner tried to cram as many rooms on one floor as possible. And this experience like being an animal kept in a stable, kept going on.Feeding time was at 6pm, not later. If you arrive later, you wont get your booked dinner, because all the staff leaves at around 7. Then you get served a tacky meal, with an OK soup, a dull salad, and Spätzle from the super market with an unseasoned pork chop. All that for just 18€! In other restaurants they would serve you a steak for this price.Because the hotel is located in the scenic Wutach gorge, there is unfortunately no mobile reception. So you have to rely on Wifi for evening entertainment or getting weather information, because no TVs available. But they have only one Wifi router for the huge building and reception is awful at the rooms. So you also can't reach anybody in the oustide world. Additionaly the router seems to be misconfigured, so some devices can't login, because the IP-address limit is reached.If you try to sleep instead, good luck, because the walls are so thin you can hear people snorring in the other rooms. Also, no curtains or other means to darken the room!The only good things to mention were the cleanliness and the good breakfast and lunch packet for the hike ahead.
