Welcome to Backpackers Villa in Interlaken.
Backpackers Villa is the right place for you if you consider yourself young or young at heart or if you’d like to stay with us together with your family and kids.

You can book a private room for three, four or up to seven people together as a group of friends or family. If you are looking for a good night’s sleep and fast wifi, but want to keep it as budget saving as possible, you can book a single dorm bed in 6/7 bed dorms shared with other travellers.

You can “book now” for up to 6 people. In case you are more travelling together please send an email. Thanks.

Either way you have plenty of social space available in the hostel. Use our well equipped self catering kitchen to cook, eat and chat. There is plenty of space to play and chat with other travellers. We have table tennis indoor and outdoor, as well as a pool billiards table in the large garden, which you can also enjoy and chill with the view of the snow capped Alpine tops.

For ideas on excursions and activities in and around Interlaken, you can talk to us at reception. We are happy to help.

We are an international team from 16 nations all around the world. On a daily basis we live the experience of our guests: people from all kinds of backgrounds and origins work together and shape their lives together. As a team we offer you authentic and personal advice. You ll be ready for your unique Interlaken experience.

We have been awarded the HOSCAR for “best hostel Switzerland” many times and just this year “second best in Europe”, which makes us happy and is our motivation to keep up and get better at what we love: providing a temporary home, a place, where you would like to stay on a little during your travels. Hoscars are based on guest reviews on hostelworld.com.

Welcome to Backpackers Villa in Interlaken!

In der Backpackers Villa schreiben wir Nachhaltigkeit gross und gestalten unseren Alltag so umweltbewusst wie möglich – für Gäste, Team und unsere gemeinsame Zukunft.

Seit 2009 nutzen wir Solarenergie zum Erwärmen des Wassers und im Oktober 2017 haben wir auf einem weiteren Teil unseres Dachs eine Photovoltaik (PV) Anlage in Betrieb genommen, mit der wir nun auch einen Teil unseres Stroms selbst produzieren. Darüberhinaus haben wir in allen allgemeinen Duschen im Chalet Wärmetauscher installiert, durch die das heisse Abwasser das frische Zuwasser vorwärmt. So reduzieren wir auch hier den CO₂ Footprint eines jeden Gasts. joulia.com

Seit vielen Jahren bieten wir Elektro Ladestationen sowohl für unsere Gäste als auch für die lokale Bevölkerung. Wir rüsten immer wieder auf, damit auch du mit angemessener Geschwindigkeit dein Auto wieder vollladen kannst.

In beiden Gebäuden arbeitet eine automatische Belüftung, die sowohl den Standard in den Zimmern erhöht, als auch die Energiebilanz verbessert.

So setzen wir um, was unser Leitbild von 1997 festhält: “Mit unserem ökologischen Handeln im Alltag engagieren wir uns für die Bewahrung der Schöpfung mit dem Menschen im Mittelpunkt.”

 

In 2011, Backpackers Villa became the first hostel in Switzerland to be climate neutral. Since then, we have been offsetting the CO₂ emissions that we are unable to reduce to zero despite all our efforts with myclimate.org myclimate.org.

Projects at home and abroad are reducing CO₂ emissions in real terms and are enabling us to support sustainable development.

In recent years, we have supported various projects:
mobisol provides light where it is needed and was previously not possible – one of many projects by myclimate.org

We are delighted that Wäscheperle Interlaken – our long-standing laundry partner – has been awarded the Thun Social Star for employing people with disabilities. We congratulate them and are delighted to have a partner in Wäscheperle that does good! Thank you very much.

We have decided to give only one towel for free, for an exchange we charge CHF 5.- per piece. We have tried to explain and educate for a long time. Washing/Laundry has high impact on sustainability and the environment. And the incredible natural environment we enjoy in Interlaken, is the precise reason why all our guests and you are coming to stay. This is one aspect where everyone of us can easily contribute to a more sustainable way of living or travelling. Only with the introduction of a charge have we managed to bring down the number of changes to a sustainable level.

Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to write us a review, on whatever platform.
