Amazing! Airbnb level. Really nett host, super clean and comfortable. I absolutely enjoyed my stay. Thank you very much Jessica! Comfortable beds, fully furnished kitchen, 3 Sphynx Cats, just 5 min from the train station. Perfect location for hiking to Seealpsee and Ebenalp
Everything was great

Has everything available, from bath room stuff to spices and coffee in the kitchen. Nice location right in the center.
It could be cleaner. Manager/owner was in holiday and it was unclear (for a moment) how we should enter the property.
4.3
Was an interesting place. We were friendly greeted by 3 sphinx cats.
The church bells were very loud.
4.3
Cleanliness and the guidance from host
Initially there were some confusion for the allotted room. The person in absence of Jessica was unable to communicate clearly.
4.3
the property was small quiet and unique. Maria was a fantastic host. I enjoyed everything about Backpacker Baren. it was more personal than the big hostels
I found it a little difficult to find but being such a small place people were able to help me

Jessica is a lovely and welcoming host. The place feels homely and warm.
4.3
One of the best hostels I have lived with a wonderful host
4.3
The house was lovely and cozy. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies and kitchen essentials. There is a Coop nearby where you can buy food for dinner and breakfast, and the hostel is a short walk from the train station. The town is charming and the hosts are welcoming. There are lockers in the bedroom and each bed has its own curtain for privacy.
It was a bit confusing to find the property, the entrance is on the back side of the building shown in the pictures. Additionally, the church bells rang every hour throughout the night, but luckily I was able to fall asleep again quickly.
4.3
You have everything you need for cooking and drinking and the cutest 3 cats!
the Supermarkt is close to the place and the public transport is very convenient if you want to visit mountain säntis!
4.3
cozy home, i love living room the most!
It’s hard to get in the bed even if I’m so small girl. Maybe taking some wood pieces of bed out will be solution. By the way I love your hostel!
4.3
Lovely host, quirky, home from home. Lovely lounge. Furry friends (well, not so furry, but friendly) were lovely too.
4.3

4.3
The stay was really awesome. The good thing is all the scenic places are very nearby
The church which is situated in front of the property rings bell every 15 minutes even during night, which was disturbing
4.3
Great value for price, perfect for backpackers or people who come to do sports. As I needed to work I appreciated very stable internet. Next to the house there is parking (overnight free, in a day free for 2 hours). The train station is 200m away and parking there is 24/7 free. Grocery shop is 100m away. The kitchen is great and fully equipped.

super nice staff, very cozy and sweet place to stay.
4.3
Jessica was super friendly and helpful. The kitchen was sufficient and had excellent wifi. Everything was super clean and spacious. Cute little village and beautiful views. If you come on a weekend be sure and bring your own food. The restaurants are very expensive and the Coop closes early.
The front door was a little hard to find. We didn't have data on our phones, so giving some upfront instructions would be helpful (come around back of the address). The charming beautiful church across the way rings the time, but not much you can do about that! The pillows need to be a bit firmer.

guesthouse owner is friendly
location is perfect.
close to the supermarket and bakery
we could use the kitchen, which was very nice.
i thought we booked a double bed, but we got a room with a bunkbed and a sofabed.
the ceilings are very low (charming old house). my boyfriend could only stand up straight in 1 room of the house. ;-/
the ceiling in the bathroom is low and sloping, not so comfortable.
