CHALET EGGLEN "Typical Swiss House, Best Views, Private Jacuzzi"

The property was well equipped with all what we required for our stay

The toilet was separate from the bathroom

Clean, roomy, has hot water, jacuzzi, peaceful, complete kitchen utensils. Amazing host!

Nothing!

Het uitzicht was voortreffelijk. Het huis was erg ruim en erg schoon en er was alles aanwezig. De jacuzzi werd goed onderhouden en schoon gehouden en het was op temperatuur toen wij aankwamen. De bedden waren ook erg comfortabel en er is plek om te parkeren voor 2 auto's. De host legt alles uit, maar het was even schrikken toen hij plots de volgende dag voor de deur stond om te vragen of wij nog iets nodig hadden.

De hoeveelheid beschikbare handdoeken. Maar ik weet zeker dat als wij erom zouden vragen we die zouden krijgen. Ook was het redelijk prijzig, maar in het huis past 6 personen dus als je de kosten zou kunnen delen is het erg goed te doen. Hoe dan ook was het uiteindelijk wel waard.

Markus was a very kind host. He actually was waiting in the chalet and greeted us unlike airbnb hosts where you do self check in and had to read the house rulebook. Markus told us all the instructions on how to use the lamp, the jacuzzi, how to use the electric stove and where things are. He also provided some recommendations on where to go. He even helped us to carry some suitcases despite one of his arm is broken. The most amazing thing about this place is the view. Omg the view is so breathtaking. Plus if you take the jacuzzi while watching the view, its so heavenly. I like how the chalet is very clean, the smell of wooden room reminds me of sauna room which is quite calming. There is an organic milk vending machine from a local farmer nearby the chalet, which is very cool. And its cheap too. Only 1.4 chf you get 1 litre of fresh organic milk! And best of all this chalet has automated water bidet toilet. This feels like back home in South East Asia or Japan where the toilet can use water.

Markus is a very nice host. But is it just me or it is maybe a swiss thing. But I cannot really enjoy my time in this stay. I feel the whole experience left me not wanting to come back to swiss again. Or at the very least next time I should have stayed in a hotel. The instruction for living "correctly" in this house is pretty long so I had to spend some time reading it and memorizing it. I feel like I need to do some work here. And I probably made some mistake in remembering all the rules. Probably wont happen if I am staying in a hotel. Not only I have to clean the dishes (which is fine, usually when I stay in airbnb, I always clean the dishes) but also also need to dry them and put them where they are stored when I check out otherwise there is a penalty. The keyword here is there is a penalty. I also need to make sure the trash bag are properly sorted. No aluminum or glass in the wastebin. Ok that is fine, when I am staying in Japan there are a lot of more types of recycling. But the catch is, in this chalet, it is my responsibility to find where the recycling center of the town. Like... I dont even live here. Why is it my responsibility to find where the recycling center is. If I throw away aluminum can in the trash, then Markus probably will get angry at me. And I happened to buy some beers so I had to take my beer cans with me in my car to throw away in the train station nearby because this chalet has no recyling bin. The lamps in the corridor, hallways, and the bathroom are timed to turn off automatically (except the kitchen and the bed room). So my mom actually was in the bathroom taking a shower then she want to change clothing and suddenly the lamp died. So she had to find the lamp switch and quite troublesome for her. At night when we are just wondering around the house, we need to keep turning on the lamp. Also there is no microwave. I dont know if its a swiss thing but all the chalets I stay in swiss dont have microwave.
