Rabennest in Alzey

I was on vacation in the Raven's Nest in August. Once and never again. Room dirty, in need of renovation. Was treated condescendingly by the hostess. Never book again

Rip-off. The day before arrival, the price for the overnight stay was confirmed by phone on the website. Upon arrival (payment in advance), the owner suddenly demanded €20 more for the night, after flimsy excuses. Unacceptable.

The Rabennest is a wonderful and cozy hostel. I've been a guest here many times and have always felt very comfortable. The Köhler family is an excellent host, and Mr. Köhler, even though he had to give up some vineyards, is and remains, in my opinion, a great expert in the development of Scheurebe. Since I've also read the reviews before, I'd like to address three things: First, the breakfast. The breakfast isn't huge, but in my opinion, it's perfectly adequate and delicious. If you want a hotel buffet, you should book one for twice the price of an overnight stay. As for the village - yes, it's quiet and sleepy. But for one thing, you find out about things like that before you travel (there's this old-fashioned thing called the internet). For another, you can't blame the hostel for this. That's simply an irrelevant argument. Finally, I would recommend a taxi to anyone who enjoys Rheinhessen wines and complains about the lack of restaurants and the resulting need to drive themselves, meaning they can't drink. The nearest excellent restaurants are just a stone's throw away—about €8 for a taxi. You can find the numbers online. The Rabennest has Wi-Fi. ;-) All in all, I feel truly at home here every time I come, and I come here precisely because of the peace and quiet, the lovely restaurants in the surrounding villages, and the hospitable Köhler family.

We stayed at the guesthouse for two nights with our dog. Of course, we had announced in advance that we were bringing our dog. The landlady apparently hadn't noted this and was surprised when we arrived with our dog. We immediately felt unwelcome. It was communicated that the dog had to be put in the car at breakfast – in the summer with 28 degrees – and could not be left alone in the room under any circumstances. She even cheekily asked where the dog was the next morning at breakfast. It was so outrageous to demand that an animal be put in the car in such temperatures. We didn't do that, of course, and I made it clear upon departure that it was outrageous to ask such a thing. The landlady also reacted with incomprehension. The breakfast was very meager. We definitely cannot recommend the guesthouse and will not visit it again. Regardless of the disagreements about our dog, we noticed how strangely the landlady reacted and communicated with other guests. It seems as if it is only about money and not at all about guest friendliness

What lovely people, nice room and good breakfast. Will definitely come here again. A 10 plus

A solid place to stay! The rooms are nice, but not super fancy or totally modern. The breakfast was good too. Everything we needed was there (and a little more. And if we were missing anything, we were supposed to let them know). The hosts were very nice and friendly. Everything went smoothly and smoothly. The host had a few wild conspiracy theories. If you can't handle that well, you might want to avoid the topics or any intensive contact. But that has nothing to do with the accommodation. I don't think I would recommend a wine tasting, as I wouldn't have any interest in those topics.

Nice clean rooms, very friendly!

Small family pension, guest house is located next to the winery. Rooms are nice and tidy. The bathrooms downstairs are a bit old, but okay. Breakfast is in the main building, a really old room, similar to a cottage. Breakfast was completely sufficient, eggs, quark, tea, etc. on request. So with a compromise on the external appearance of the farm - in contrast to other wineries, not renovated - overall a good starting point for the area.

Unfreundlicher Gastgeber, miese Weinprobe, dürftiges Frühstück.

Zimmer und Frühstück okay. Mittlerweile wird wohl die Gaesteinformation geändert sein. Trotz frühzeitiger Stornierung wurde für ein Zimmer der volle Betrag in Rechnung gestellt. Da die betreffende Person, welche nicht mitkommen konnte, erkrankt ist, möchte sie dich dem Stress nicht aussetzen. Schade

unfreundlicher Kontakt - wir hatten zwei Übernachtungen gebucht. Die Gastgeber teilten uns dann mit, dass sie verreisen müssten. Bei der ganzen Organisation des Ganzen (Frühstück ausserhalb bei einem Freund etc.) zeigten wir uns verständnisvoll. Als wir jedoch selbst krankheitsbedingt absagen mussten, gab es keinerlei Entgegenkommen. Der Umgangston war rigide und unfreundlich im telefonischen Kontakt. Nein, danke.

Die Weinprobe war enttäuschend. Der Besitzer wirkte gelangweilt und es gab so gut wie keine Informationen zum Wein, zur Region oder sonstige Infos. Außer Wein und Wasser wurde während der ganzen Probe nichts anderes angeboten. Im Anschluss an die Probe wurden wir in ein unangenehmes Gespräch verwickelt, bei dem er uns mit kruden Verschwörungstheorien über den Klimawandel und Gender Mainstreaming "aufklären" wollte. Auf kritische Nachfragen reagierte er teils aggresiv und herablassend. Wir werden hier definitv nie wieder einkehren!

Gute Weine; gute Verkostung; gute Erklärung durch den Winzer; gute Preise. Übernachtung mit Frühstück möglich . Das Mobiliar in dem Zimmer welches wir hatten , hier sollten die Möbel mal erneuert werden. Sehr negativ ist , dass es im ganzen Ort kein Restaurant gibt , so dass in die Umgebung gefahren werden muss und der Fahrer keinen rheinhessischen Wein trinken kann.

Das Rabennest in Heimersheim ist wirklich schön. Völlig unkompliziert kann man hier übernachten. Alles ist sehr sauber und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder hier buchen.

Wir waren eine Woche zu Gast im Rabennest, als solcher hat man sich allerdings selten gefühlt. Die an sich recht netten Zimmer wurden nur selten gereinigt. Das als Frühstücksbuffet angepriesene Frühstück wäre in Ordnung, wenn es nicht so abgezählt, bzw auf Nachfrage bereitwilliger nachgelegt worden wäre. Die 2 Brötchen pro Person waren oft hart, trocken und alt.

Sehr liebe und nette Gastgeber. :) der Wein war auch hervorragend. Einfach super! 👍👌
