“I was recently transferred from Dubai to the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, and my company engaged Lodge Services Relocation to support my family’s relocation. Throughout the entire transition, we had the pleasure of working with Chrystel, who was always there to help us with everything—from the most basic questions to finding the right home, providing valuable advice on locations, schools, and countless other aspects of settling into a new country. International relocations can be overwhelming, with many important decisions and challenges happening at the same time. Chrystel’s dedication, professionalism, and proactive approach made the entire process feel significantly easier. She was always available, incredibly knowledgeable, and consistently went the extra mile to ensure that everything went as smoothly as possible. One aspect that also deserves special recognition is that her English is absolutely spot on. Communication was always clear, natural, and effortless, which made a huge difference throughout the relocation process. Our family was genuinely impressed by the level of service and care we received. I would like to sincerely thank Chrystel for her outstanding support and highly recommend her to anyone or any company looking for relocation assistance. She played a key role in making what could have been a very stressful experience feel smooth, well-organized, and welcoming.”

“Our family of four made a huge life transition to Geneva. Chrystel from Lodge Relocation was the best part of the transition process. From helping us get to know Geneva neighbourhoods and schooling, to finding and helping us navigate the processes to secure our perfect apartment, to sharing helpful contacts and taking care of countless activities to help us arrive and settle, we could not have done it without Chrystel and Lodge. We are very grateful to have her and will always remember her professionalism, her care and her commitment to supporting our family in starting a new journey in Geneva. Thank you so much Chrystel and Lodge!”

“My experience with Lodge was outstanding, particularly with Mrs. Florence Who helped me and assisted in any single detail of my relocation, making sure it was a smooth landing with everything. Her professionalism was impeccable and I also think she went beyond her “tasks” as I felt a genuine care in making sure i was fine and providing general info on Geneva, admin things, etc. I would recommend their services in a heartbeat, she made my life incredibly easier.”

“A huge shoutout to Ms. Giulia Borra for her exceptional service and professionalism! She was incredibly proactive, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me find the perfect home. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and tailored every recommendation to my needs. In just two weeks, she shortlisted 10 apartments, arranged 4 viewings, and helped me secure the perfect place—the best location, the biggest space, and at an excellent price. I truly couldn’t have done it without The Lodge. Their service exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free apartment search. Thank you so much, Giulia and The Lodge, for making this experience such a positive one!”

“This company is an amazing company they always put their clients first and always do what needs to be done!

Remember they always put their clients First!”

“Claire worked tirelessly with me to find an apartment, a process that is not easy to do alone in Geneva! She listened to my concerns and understood what I was looking for, while going above and beyond to help me get early access to a very competitive rental market. From seeing various apartments and planning my visits, to finding the apartment, and then ensuring I was well informed of all paperwork needed to close the deal, she made an arduous process seem smooth and simple. Having someone like Claire by your side is a must if you want to find the right apartment!”

“Without Florence I would have been homeless. Literally. Lets start at the beginning. A month before I moved contact was made. We chatted over WhatsApp to make it easier. Already suggesting apartments and attending visits on my behalf without being asked. She found the best temporary accommodation close to my new work location. I had everything; cutlery, all kitchen items, spare pillows, hangers, tissue in the bathroom, everything we needed to move in and start work the next day with no stress. She even ensured I had adequate kitchen storage for us as she thought it was too small. Next, sourcing my future home in a market that when I went to a viewing, there were over 50 people already viewing for a tiny little flat. I had demands, sun, balcony, sun again, study room, high floor, bike store, AND SHE GOT IT! During the viewing of my now apartment I squealed in excitement, and cried with happiness when our application was successful the next day. She made sure I was ready with all the documentation within our tight deadline of 5 days, with a list of next steps and suggested companies. When moving in, I even had some bills set up and another handy list of next steps for me to do. Overall, Florence, if you are readying this, THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES THANK YOU. You were so warm and welcoming, diligent, you have great attention to detail and genuine joy for your job. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Lodge for helping me move to my dream home.”

“We moved to Geneva recently and were paired with Rocio at Lodge by our company. Rocio was extremely professional and thorough, helping us navigate the extremely complex rental market here. She also spoke Spanish which was very helpful to us. We recommend Lodge and especially Rocio if you're moving here, we were so fortunate to find an amazing place after "only" two months, and couldn't be happier! ¡Gracias Rocio por todo!”

“Highly recommended relocation service! Sandra supported me throughout my move and made the whole process genuinely seamless and stress-free. She did the entire apartment search and coordination, handled all the work/residence permit paperwork, and kept everything moving smoothly with clear instructions and great follow-up. She also shared plenty of helpful information materials about the area which made settling in much easier. Communication was always fast, friendly, and professional, and I felt supported and in good hands at every step. If you’re relocating to Switzerland, I can highly recommend Sandra and team!”

“My wife and I recently relocated to Switzerland with our dog Hugo. We were introduced to Lodge Relocation, as the relocation company who would support us. I always feel, especially with personal services that the critical part is the individuals involved. In the case of Lodge Relocation, we were very fortunate to have Sandra McCarthy assigned to us. From the onset, Sandra was in constant communication with us, providing guidance and updates, tips and overall great support. Being a Swiss national, Sandra has the in-depth knowledge of Swiss administrative requirements which was invaluable to us. When we had a few challenges, Sandra was at the end of an e-mail or phone, immediately responsive and took personal responsibility to ensure matters were resolved expediently and in full. Our relocation to Switzerland would not have been as smooth, had it not been for Sandra. Thank you for all your help and support Sandra! Tony”

From the very beginning, communication was seamless and efficient. Every question I had was answered promptly and clearly, which made the whole process feel smooth.

“Huge thanks to the team at Lodge for making my family move so much easier. Chrystel, our consultant was fantastic—super organized and kept me updated every step of the way, which took a massive weight off my shoulders, especially as this was our first move out of the country. If you’re relocating and want someone who actually knows what they’re doing, definitely give these guys a call. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot recommend Claire Bodson and the Lodge agency highly enough. From the very first conversation, Claire brought not only exceptional professionalism, but also genuine care, patience, and commitment to helping my family and me find the right home. Finding an apartment can be incredibly stressful, especially when it involves your family—but Claire turned what could have been a long, exhausting, and overwhelming journey into a truly positive experience. She went above and beyond at every step, always available, always listening, and always one step ahead. Her communication was outstanding, her support constant, and her determination to find the best possible solution never wavered. Claire clearly loves what she does, and it shows in everything she brings to her work. Without her dedication and guidance, this search would have been difficult and draining. Instead, it was handled with care, confidence, and heart. Lodge is fortunate to have someone like Claire representing their values. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire Bodson and the Lodge agency to anyone looking not just for a real estate professional, but for someone who truly advocates for their clients. Thank you Claire !”

“I had a wonderful experience with Lodge, especially thanks to Sandra’s support. She was incredibly helpful and proactive, guiding me through the entire process—from finding a place to live and managing all the bureaucratic requirements to onboarding me on practical day-to-day topics like recycling and car rental. Her support made the transition smooth and stress-free.”

“We had an excellent experience with Lodge Relocation, and especially with Madame Chrystel Florentin, who supported us throughout our entire relocation process. Extremely professional, responsive, and detail-oriented, Chrystel was also highly proactive in identifying the best apartment tailored to our requirements, despite a very short timeline. Her guidance made the entire process smooth and efficient, and we consistently felt supported and in very good hands. We highly recommend Chrystel and Lodge Relocation to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality relocation service. Thank you again for everything !”

“I recommend Lodge Relocation for anyone moving to Switzerland, they made our entire process seamless and stress-free. They provided comprehensive local orientation, handled our property rental in Lucerne perfectly, and guided us through cantonal registration without any hitches. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, thanks to their very helpful and professional team. Sandra, who managed our case, was outstanding, always prompt, kind, and incredibly supportive. She went above and beyond to facilitate our arrival with my family (including our two dogs), making the transition much easier.”
