Low EMF

Some travellers prefer to sleep with the router and the bedroom wiring switched off. The World Health Organization's position is that research to date has not shown health effects from the low-level radio waves of Wi-Fi and mobile networks, so we list these switches as an amenity, not a health measure. They are simple to offer and simple to check: a switch is either in the room or it is not.

Each of these hotels says, on its own website, that the switch is in every room rather than a few. Biohotel Eggensberger also turns the Wi-Fi off across the house from 11pm to 7am, uses no DECT phones and says it measures the sleeping areas regularly; it has not published those readings. Lanserhof Tegernsee lists an electrosmog switch or filter on each room page, which a 2018 trade report described as a button that cuts the room's Wi-Fi. Neither switch does anything about mobile signal from outside, and none of this has been measured by us.
