    Hi

    I just booked an apartment in Interlaken on Agoda and later recd an email from the property stating I need to pay visitor tax for the no of nights stay per person. During the booking I don’t see any such fees other than service charge of a sum.

    Pls advise if this is the case in Switzerland that we need to pay for visitor tax to be collected at the property?

    Thank you

    Hello Nyap,

    Thanks for your question!

    Yes, you will need to pay the tourist tax while you stay at your apartment rental in Interlaken. I will attach a detailed link for your reference regarding the tourist tax.

    I hope that clears things up for you!

    Best regards,

    Suzanne

    Dear Suzanne

    Thank you for answering my question. I thought that there were already taxes included and didn’t know that still needed to pay for tourist tax, this is something new to me.

    Anyway, thank you so much and am glad that there’s this platform that I can turn to when in doubt.

    Have a great week ahead!
