Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Another amazing stay @ cambrian. Special shout out to Mathias who has been very forthcoming, friendly and nice. The terrace is spectacular and another great service are drinks served in the spa/pool area. Very rich and delicious breakfast and the most amazing dinner/snacks offered at the restaurant and the axe bar.

Thé location is superb in the center of ADELBODEN, you don’t need a car everything is around. The view from our 2 rooms was outstanding❤️. Top notch service by a knowledgeable, professional and very friendly team at the check in, at the breakfast, at the bar and at the dinner. The food is excellent with fresh, tasty and local products. Congratulations to the Chef for the breakfast… thé buffet is a Gem! Congratulations also to the other Chef for the dinner menu ..Superb! Do not hesitate to book a massage or any treatment… it was wonderful! We are big traveller’s and we were amaze by the level of service in a friendly atmosphere.

Excellent hotel with a beautiful outdoor pool with a spectacular view over the mountains. The rooms were cosy, spacious and clean with modern furniture. The bed was very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very good and the personnel very kind and attentive. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of choice and nicely presented. The hotel is on the main street of the village and right in front of the bus station. We will surely come again.

If you plan on sleeping this is not the hotel for you. The walls are paper thin, you hear everything from the corridor e.g. yells of housekeeping and neighboring rooms. The carpet in the room is stained and furniture is damaged, see photo. The food is mediocre at best, bar is ok. The staff is unhelpful and not particularly kind. Not worth the price.

We just stayed one night at the Cambrian as a little side trip and treat, from our holiday home in Lauterbrunnen. It was the perfect spot to explore the beautiful area around Adelboden. Our dual aspect , south facing room had absolutely stunning views across the valley . Great thought has been given to the interior design of the hotel , but it in a comfortable and unpretentious way. I have rarely felt so quickly at home in a hotel, especially of this standard. From the minute we walked through the front door we received a very warm welcome from every single member of staff. Room, pool area and lounge areas are all inviting and comfortable. Excellent, quality in restaurant, and good value for Switzerland. Will definitely return!

Hotel info - no AC, no problem - open windows & enjoy the fresh air. But it also notes free to smoke on your balcony! Worse yet, our upstairs room was directly above 2 smoke areas. One area had a fire pit full of cigarette butts . And a restaurant with late night bar. Nights were spent opening and closing windows - had to choose between a stuffy hot room or a smoky room. A disastrous stay with little sleep. Many years of hard earned Marriott rewards wasted. Management response - sorry about that, come back and try us again ! Yes we did talk to the desk, but they had no other rooms to offer. I’m a Marriott Titanium, so many Marriott stays, this was the worst. I didn’t ask for compensation, but would have been nice if they offered some token to account for the issue. Stay away from here! Not worth the expense.

Responded 21 Sept 2023
Dear Mr. Deslatte, We sincerely appreciate the time you took to provide us with your valuable feedback. As previously communicated, we deeply regret that we were unable to accommodate an immediate room change due to our full occupancy during your stay. Our Front Desk Staff did extend an offer for a room change for the next night, which unfortunately was declined. Regarding the matter of smoking in outdoor areas, it is indeed permitted in Switzerland, and the fire pit is to contribute to the overall ambiance of our bar area. However, it is important to note that the fire pit was not operational throughout your stay. We do acknowledge that some individuals may have disposed of their cigarette butts in this area, but our dedicated bar team diligently cleans it each night. Nevertheless, considering your feedback, we have taken the decision to remove the fire pit from our premises. We would like to clarify that the invitation for a return to our hotel was extended by our management team as a gesture of goodwill and was not meant to imply any misunderstanding. Should you have any further inquiries or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us at your convenience. Best regards, Your Managment Team

A bit far from the central Interlaken whether you're using public transport or driving, but it's worth the trip. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and serene. The infinity pool offers views of distant snowy mountains and slopes. An affordable luxury retreat in Switzerland with perfect service, facilities, and decor.

This is a great location, hotel with excellent restaurant and good service by the staff. Accessing the hotel. My road is a little bit onerous given construction on the roads but once there it is a great location to enjoy excellent mountain views, make sure you have a room facing the mountains, we gave four stars instead of three stars because the photograph off the person in the pool with infinity views of the mountains is a little bit misleading. The pool is fairly small and located in a public area close to the open dining the angle at which the photograph was taken is misleading we don’t think the hotel deliberately was trying to mislead the people but we did hear many guests talking about how misleading the photograph was.

We are a family of 4 and were staying at Adelboden Suite for 4 days 3 nights in June 2023. What went wrong during our stay? 1. Our door lock system failed every 24 hours. 2. Phone in the room was not working during our entire stay. Both were communicated to the front desk from the beginning. All agents we spoke to promised us that they would send a technician to fix the next day, but we didn't see the technician until when we had to show that we were really upset (on the 3rd day or by the last night), and the technician fixed only the door lock system. That also meant we had to down to the front desk every morning to replace our key cards and complain, because the phone in the room was simply not working. 3. Ill-mannered front desk. 4. Inappropriate response from GM/Hotel Manager. The front desk agents were on shift. It means that we had to repeat our complaint every single time. It was surprising to see each agent appeared to be unaware of the situation. Furthermore, when we requested to speak to the agent who we just explained the situation to 5 minutes ago, the agent was in the separate room next to the front desk but refused to come to us. We had to speak to the agent because her solution to opening our door didn't work, and we simply didn't want to explain our situation again to another agent. Only at the check-out, we were offered to meet the GM/Hotel Manager. But his response was rather disappointing. To quote, "Tell me, what's wrong?" - You should have been made aware by now. "What do you want? A discount?" - Yes, we complained about there was no effort perceived by us from the hotel team trying to recover their poor service, and we stayed long enough (3 nights) for the team to respond. But to ask us this, at the check-out, how humiliating - to make our experience sound so cheap!

The moment you arrive you’ll sense Romance is in the air. From the elegant furniture to the dimmed lights and choice of music Views are breathtaking so book a room with a view and spa was well designed. Breakfast perfect , good quality and service with a smile. Dinner wasn’t as tasty though The only downside is the size of the outdoor pool. It is a main attraction for anyone who’ll book this hotel, but the reality it’s significantly smaller in reality Still Overall a lovely stay for couples, conveniently there is the bus station in front of hotel and hikes in the area are spectacular.
