schweizerhofbern.spahotel.guru presents itself as "Hotel Schweizerhof Bern & Spa - Bern, Switzerland", using a luxury hotel's name on a generic spahotel.guru domain rather than on an address tied to the hotel itself. It is on the PhishDestroy blocklist and is aimed at travellers searching for or booking a stay at this Bern property. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-09-03, and it was still online with its content live as of 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
PhishDestroy has not yet assigned this domain a specific scheme type. What the evidence shows is a hotel-branded page hosted outside the hotel's own web presence and flagged as malicious by multiple security vendors. Pages like this put visitors at risk of handing over booking details, contact information or payment card data to a party that is not the hotel, or of paying for a reservation the hotel never receives. Treat any booking, payment request or form on this site as untrusted.
Evidence
On 2026-09-11, 16 of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, CyRadar and the Vietnamese anti-scam project Chong Lua Dao. That is a meaningful spread of independent vendors agreeing the site is dangerous, not a single outlier verdict. PhishDestroy lists it on its own blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2024-08-02 through Spaceship, Inc., roughly two years before PhishDestroy detected it, so this is not a throwaway registered the day before use. The site is served from Amazon cloud infrastructure in Germany. Its Let's Encrypt certificate means the browser shows a padlock, which only confirms an encrypted connection and says nothing about whether the site belongs to the hotel.
What to do
If you entered card details on this site, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to block the card and dispute any charges. If you made a reservation or payment here, contact Hotel Schweizerhof Bern through contact details you find independently to check whether a booking actually exists, and watch for follow-up emails or calls asking for more payment. Change any password you reused on this site. Security teams and travel platforms should block the domain and report it to the registrar and hosting provider.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
