The accommodation is very old. The toilet won’t flush, and there’s a musty smell of rats.
Chept
So dirty The accommodation is not clean at all. Many electrical appliances are broken, the water heater barely works, and the heater doesn’t function. Staying here is very uncomfortable.

It was great living here
the location was good and amenities provided was sufficient
the cleanliness was not the best and the bunk beds were squeaky. Insects were flying around.
4.0 / 10.0
Dirty and lacking
Good location and somewhat spacious.
Rather disappointed with the accomodation. Paid a decent price and wasn’t expecting the world but expected some bare necessities. The bathroom which is on the ground level has no ventilation and is growing black mould on the roof. It is also prone to flooding with the shower curtain not offering much of a barrier. Second level has the kitchen/living. One of the dining chairs is broken but has clearly been staged to look like it’s not. It fell apart when sat on making it rather dangerous. The kitchen is lacking a lot of necessities like; a sink plug, a sharp knife to cut, a functioning freezer (was frozen over). There was a lot of mismatched utensils and cooking pots, the rangehood was also sparking plus the kitchen was rather dirty. The stairs up to the bedroom have no railing and are very steep. I wouldn’t feel comfortable staying with children or elderly people. Some of the power points don’t work and the others spark and zap when plugged into. Although this is not in the owners control the accomodation is situated next to a church which the bell rings regularly from 6am-10pm roughly. The accom is advertised as river views. This is not the case. The is close by though and is a good location otherwise. It’s about 10min walk from interlaken west train station and close to food and amenities.

Please be careful. Not suitable/ dangerous for some
Convenient location, but NOT actually on Riverside
1. The property is not on the Riverside as suggested. 2. Stairs in property are dangerous. (Definitely not suitable for elderly or young children, anyone with mobility issues) 3. Broken chair (that was mentioned in previous reviews!) My 80 year old mother fell due to broken chair and really hurt herself. 4. Floor not clean at all. 5. Broken banister on already dangerous stairs. 6. Furniture not comfortable at all. 7. Bathroom and shower on ground floor= living area first floor. (No avoiding dangerous stairs) 7. No sharp knives in kitchen, so difficult to prepare our meals. (This is a minor complaint compared to the serious issues we had, but worth noting for other potential customers. I strongly suggest that elderly people or families with young children do NOT stay here. If your a young couple or group of friends location is convenient, but no nice views from apartment.

Hugely disappointing, safety risk apartment and owner does not care or bother about his paying guest
Nothing
We booked the above apartment from 6th May to 8th May. Very, very disappointed and annoyed. On the day of arrival, locals told us the address was incorrect. We spent a lot of time trying to find the apartment that was not in Interlaken as stated in the website. Neither was there a sign board to say it was the river holiday apartment. The code given was incorrect. I called, texted and emailed the owner but no response (I got a response on the day I returned back to UK). Eventually a guy came who said he had previously lived in the apartment. He put in the correct code and removed the apartment key to let us in. There was no information about anything in the apartment. Despite the phone calls and texts, the owner did not contact us in anyway. I dread to think what would have happened to us in the pouring rain if the guy who had previously lived there had not turned up. The lights for the landing from the bedroom to the kitchen was not working. I had family members who were seniors and they found it difficult to walk safely without the lights. It was a safety risk. We were informed there would be Wifi, however the Password given did not allow us to connect with the Wifi. There was no heating throughout our stay. It was cold especially for my senior family members. The handle of the front door was loose and each time we opened the door we had to push it back in place. The chair in the dining room was wobbly and the arm of the chair was broken but there was no warning about this given anywhere. One of my senior family members could have fallen and injured themselves. The next night there was only lights in the bedrooms. The whole downstairs was in darkness. We had a tough time throughout the night and could not wait to vacate the apartment. This is not the type of accommodation we expected. It totally spoiled our holiday. The owner did not bother nor have any consideration for his paying guest.

Worst experience!!! Absolutely it is not value for our money
check in process was smooth.
rest of all I can say its a worst experience.. We got voltage issue in the Apartment and tried to reach the concerned team via WhatsApp, on Call and via Booking.com chat but so far they didn't replied or answered to our call. there are so many nearby places please prefer there. it was a worst experience I ever had. Not at all recommending to anyone. Please think before you proceed with this Apartment.
