When I first saw my room - 'small bedroom' - I almost walked away, but...had prepaid and was too tired to want to find another place, so I stayed. The home's environment - location near cable station in quiet neighborhood won me over, plus I met the couple - my 'shared bath'-mates - and wen to dinner with them. Esther's was a good place for me as a base, not for the small room.

If you want a more small town experience in Gimmelwald, this is one of the few places that have available lodging. The guesthouse with shared bathroom wasn’t my cup of tea, however. Customer service was okay. The one-bed room was very small for the price I paid. I went to a hotel in Wengan for my last couple days in the area and personally found it to be more comfortable experience at a similar price.

Gimmelwald is a lovely little village, no cars, no stores. Esthers Guesthouse is perfect: wonderful staff, friendly guests. Bring your own food or buy at the Coop in Muerren (one stop further up the mountain) and cook it in the fully equipped guest kitchen--or get the excellent breakfast.

Winter Wonderland

Our experience at Esther's Guesthouse was beyond perfect during the new year. Tobias and friends where most humble and welcoming and really made us feel comfortable and at home. This location is the best for this area and having access to both Murren and Lautenbrunnen surrounding villages it really was the cherry on top. This place was magical and couldn't have asked for a better experience.
