Zermatt Airbnb Review 2026: Our Best Swiss Stay Near Matterhorn

Our unforgettable Swiss adventure spanned a total of 5 nights and 6 days, during which we explored three incredible towns, spending two nights in each.

Our itinerary took us through Zermatt, Interlaken, and Grindelwald.

For all our stays, we opted for the unique charm of Airbnb accommodations.

And let me tell you, the very first place we stayed – this fantastic Airbnb in Zermatt – was hands down the absolute best!

When you book an Airbnb, it's common to receive a message from your host a few days before check-in. This typically includes essential information like detailed instructions for accessing the property, important house rules, and even recommendations for local attractions and activities.

The check-in process for this particular Zermatt Airbnb was quite unique and fun! To get the keys, we had to enter a password into a mailbox located near the building's entrance. It felt a bit like an escape room, which added an unexpected twist to our arrival!

On the glass door at the building's entrance, there was a friendly reminder to keep noise down after 10 PM. It was a multilingual sign, which is always helpful for international travelers!

The bathroom was a cozy size, perhaps around 35 square feet, but perfectly functional! The shower booth was wonderfully warm, and everything was impeccably clean. It was such a comfort to have a spotless space to refresh after a day of exploring.

The bathroom floor was also spotless. We heard the place had been recently renovated, and it definitely showed. The level of cleanliness truly impressed me – it's always a top priority when choosing accommodation!

There were plenty of towels provided, and the bed was perfectly comfortable for a good night's sleep. As I mentioned before, out of all the Airbnbs we booked for our Swiss trip, this one was by far the best!

The walls were adorned with charming photos of the Matterhorn, a lovely touch that reminded us of the majestic peak just outside. There was also a small sofa bed, perfect for an extra guest or just lounging after a day of hiking.

The dining table comfortably seated four people, and its generous size meant we had plenty of space to spread out our maps, snacks, and travel essentials.

While I personally tend not to use kitchenware when traveling, I was thoroughly impressed by how sparkling clean and well-maintained all the dishes and utensils appeared. It's clear the host takes great pride in their property.

There was a TV, but with so many remotes and nothing in English, we didn't bother trying to figure it out. Honestly, with the stunning Swiss Alps outside, who needs a TV anyway?

And how adorable were these welcome chocolates? It's those small, thoughtful touches that really make an Airbnb stay special.

Before booking our Zermatt accommodation, I had a couple of big questions on my mind:

1. Should I even visit Zermatt?

2. Is a Matterhorn-view room absolutely essential?

My answers after the trip:

1. Absolutely, yes!

2. Hmm, maybe not.

Initially, Zermatt wasn't high on my list, but after hearing so many rave reviews, I decided to include it, and I'm so glad I did! The very next day, we hit the slopes at the Zermatt ski resort. Snowboarding on natural powder was an experience I'll never forget – truly incredible!

We only managed to catch a glimpse of the Matterhorn on our first day, but apparently, many visitors leave Zermatt without seeing it at all due to weather. So, I count myself lucky to have seen it even once! With a clean and comfortable Airbnb, it was a fantastic stay overall. Oh, and this particular Airbnb is also conveniently located very close to the Matterhorn itself!
