💔 If you’re a mom reading this — please don’t risk it. Our stay at Hotel Cervo in Zermatt (April 14–20) was one of the most stressful and heartbreaking experiences we’ve ever had as a family. We came with our 11-year-old son, expecting something truly special. We paid 12,000 CHF for what was supposed to be a luxury five-star retreat. Instead, it felt like survival. On April 16, a snowstorm hit and power went out across town. Locals told us this happens nearly every April — but the hotel had no generator, no plan, no support. We had no electricity, no heating, and no hot water for three full days. And hot water never came back for the rest of our stay. I couldn’t even wash my hair. The water was painfully cold. I had to help my son shower in freezing water while he stood there shivering and begging me not to make him do it. I kept a calm face, but inside I was panicking. I’ve never felt so helpless on a trip. Then came the food. It tasted fine, but I felt uneasy after every meal. I didn’t understand why — until one morning we walked into the buffet and saw mice running across the food stations. Two of them were even mating near the bread. I felt physically sick. When we told the staff, they said: “It’s nature.” That was the entire response. Not even an apology. This isn’t nature — this is unsanitary and unacceptable, especially in a place that calls itself five-star. By April 17, other places in town had power back — we had to walk to a hotel 200 meters away just to charge our phones. Meanwhile, Cervo stayed dark and silent, as if nothing was wrong. I spent most of the week trying to keep my child warm, protect his health, and hide the fact that I was close to tears. Please, don’t make the same mistake we did. Cervo looks beautiful online, but if anything goes wrong, you’re completely on your own. There is no care, no responsibility, and no one looking out for you. Just stay away.

Let me make this easy for you to book this place : Cervo might be the single most important reason why we are not yet buying our place in the alps yet, mainly because staying at Cervo is so convenient. Ski in-out Super comfy Super friendly staff Great amenities Super cool hot pool Great taste of the owner, it feels 'high end' without feeling pompous This was our second time going to Cervo, and we thought it was even better. Shoutout to the staff to helping us out whilst my wife unfortunately got injured skiing, they have shown that during good, or bad days, they are there for their guests. We will 100% come back next year when she is back on her feet!
