I recently attended a 2-day business retreat at this excellent hotel. Looking at it from the outside, you could easily mistake it for one of many 1960s-style hotels scattered along the shore of Lake Thun. However, it has been extensively renovated (including the addition of a spa) and offers large, comfortable rooms, many of which (like mine) have big balconies... More

We have over the years stayed in many good hotels (as well as a few bad ones) but the hotel Beatus at Merligen was even better than described in their brochure. The staff were all helpful and extremely professional and nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely (the schilthorn) with a very comfortable bed, everything beautifully clean and... More

nice hotel at one of the best spots of Lake Thun, beautiful view, warm in- and outdoor pool with salt water. Even nicer to swim in the clear lake if the weather is warm enough. Rooms are clean with a nice balcony. Tear and wear is noticeable. Average value for money. More

We have been staying here on a regular basis for the last 3 years. Spa is great, service excellent and friendly. Didn't want to share with the world before but I just read a negative review which is unjustified. Guests are greeted by name and made to feel at home. Lake position is great and garden beautiful. The hotel offers... More

Great food- really cannot fault it- great service- highly trained staff- only thing I did n't like was the fact that the spa is VERY busy and open to the public for a very small price. We felt we were paying enough that it should be more exclusive. Great location- you MUST book a lake view, really worth the extra.... More

Room was okay but for the price should have been fantastic. Dinner was disappointing with below average service. We left our breakfast order on our door but no one came to collect it so we waited in vain. Overall poor value. More

This is an outstanding hotel in an outstanding location. However, the location on its own doesn't make a hotel. In this case it's the genuine feeling that you are welcome guest (and not just a clerk reciting text from a script) that makes this hotel. There's a total dedication to detail everywhere in the hotel. The ambiance in the hotel... More

we have just returned from the most fantastic experience at the Beatus hotel. From start to finish everything was wonderful service was excellent they could just not do enough for you but not in a stuffy way in a nice friendly way , food excellent , the spa area was fantastic, weather was 24-31 deg far better than we had...

Beatus Wellness & Spa Hotel, August 2006 - Active couple from Berkshire, UK We spent a wonderful week at the Spa in August and vowed to return next summer. The hotel is idylically situated on the south-facing shore of Lake Thun with the Beatus cave and hills behind. We walked into our lakeside room mid afternoon, and were stunned by... More
