Guest Reviews
- Brian (8/5): - Good breakfast and heated bathroom floors. Pretty views and comfortable room. It was listed as a shared kitchen but did not have a cooktop, oven or pots and pans. Otherwise it was nice for a microwave meal or toast.
- Melissande (9/5): Simple mais efficace - Nous avons pu profiter de l'hébergement pour nous seuls car pas d'autre voyageurs lors de notre nuit. Le logement est très propre et moderne, micro onde et bouilloire à disposition.
Petit déjeuner simple mais correct
- Elsa (9/5): -
- Thora (8/5): Spectacular view and friendly staff - It is a conveniently located guest house with a coffee shop downstairs. The view from the room was spectacular.
- Astrid (8/5): -
- matheo (8/5): -
- mari carmen (6/5): Lugar limpio y bien ubicado pero con algunos inconvenientes - La ubicación Solo hay una ducha para cinco habitaciones, con lo que puede haber hasta 13 personas alojadas , y una mesa para cuatro personas. Hay que hacer cola para todo, ducharse, desayunar o preparar la cena. Eso resulta muy incómodo. En las habitaciones no hay ningún armario ni cajones para dejar ropa
- Tatiana (2/5): Mensonge - La chambre était assez grande, le sol de la salle de bain était chauffant et la salle de bain était superbe Il n'y a ni plaque de cuisson, ni réfrigérateur, ni four, il n'y a qu'un micro-onde alors que sur l'annonce il y a marqué "cuisine". De plus, l'espace pour manger était une table pour 4 personnes pour un total de 20 personnes si toutes les chambres étaient remplies donc il y a un problème.
- Heiðrún (8/5): - Beds very comfy and the house very clean. The curtains did not keep the light out and it was really bright in our room.

- Joris (8/5): Good experience, but the curtains would have been an issue in summer. - Easy to reach location. Simple but sufficient breakfast. Nice view onto the street from the kitchen area. The curtains didn't close well at all and didn't move well over the rail. The issue was limited as it is winter, but in summer this will be annoying. Definitely something that should be improved.
- Alizée (9/5): - Établissement sympa, bien équipée
bien située dans la continuité de notre voyage Précisez ce dont on peut se servir ou non par exemple au petit déjeuner
- Stefanie (7/5): - Die Küche hatte leider keinen Herd. Microwave ->OK
- Carmen (8/5): -
- CARLOTTA (10/5): -
- Wan Min (9/5): - 乾淨,早餐是前一晚就放冰箱,一疊火腿一盒菜一盒起司,麵包在桌上,牛奶優酪乳一直都在冰箱,冰箱不大,加上放早餐大概剩兩層的空間可以存放個人食品
- Johan (8/5): -
- Angelique (8/5): Gezellig, knus en op een heerlijk bed overnachten. - Alles keurig netjes ingericht, schoon, gezellig, heel erg fijn. Goed bed. Zit naast de supermarkt. Genoeg parkeergelegenheid. De oppervlakte boven waar de keuken is, is erg klein als er meerdere mensen zijn.
Groot gemis; je kunt Niet koken!!!!
Alleen een kleine magnetron aanwezig.
- Miren (6/5): - Facilidad para el check in con código y habitaciones cómodas. Muy pequeño para el número de huéspedes que puede albergar, eramos 11 (y caben más) y hay una ducha, dos wc, una mesa de 4 personas... La cocina solo tiene hervidor de agua y microondas. El desayuno estaba preparado desde la noche anterior e igual es un poco escaso: 1 brick de leche y uno de yogurt líquido para 11 me parece poco.
- Benjamin (9/5): -
- Anna (8/5): - Þægileg aðstaða með flest til staðar. Herbergin voru góð, rúmin þægileg og hreint. Hentaði vel fyrir hópinn að geta fengið herbergi með tveimur og þremum rúmum. Morgunmaturinn var einfaldur en uppfyllti þarfir okkar, frábært kaffi og kaffivél. Ekki allir þráðlausu lamparnir voru með hleðslu og náttborðin eru mjög lítil. Það mættu vera fleiri bollar í eldhúsinu, tuskur og viskustykki, þegar margir hópar eru á staðnum er þetta varla nóg.
- Michael (8/5): -
- stephenie (8/5): Cute, modern guesthouse in good easy to find location. - Modern, clean, comfortable. Easy location & parking. Heated floors are super nice. The breakfast area is small, but that can’t be helped. Also, other guests had groceries in the common area refrigerator which was confusing because breakfast is self-serve from items in the refrigerator. Wound be good to mark, or somehow indicate which foods are for guests.
- Angela (9/5): - Direkt im Zentrum. Ziel eines Marathonlaufs. Frühstück war gut und ausreichend.
- Giulia Pia (9/5): Good location - Room Breakfast was too poor
- Camilla (8/5): -
- Jan (9/5): - The accommodation is very well equipped and modern. Bathroom is super nice. The breakfast are in a form of goods prepared in a fridge. Not bad, just compared to Other accommodations here, it is a little low effort
- Grete (7/5): -
- Chiara (8/5): -
- Elena Giulia Maria (9/5): Molto carino, consiglio - Check-in flessibile con key box, struttura recentemente ristrutturata, camera e bagni grandi e cucina molto carina.
Consiglio! Forse arricchirei la colazione che per gli ospiti presenti (noi due + famiglia di 4 persone) non era abbastanza.
- Garrett (7/5): - Central location, quite and easy to find, very nice Common area was messy and no staff to assist in any way
- Simone (9/5): Molto carina ma per mangiare dipende con chi t incontri. - Struttura molto carina! Incantevole la
Cucina e l angolo per mangiare! Bagni pulitissimi e nuovi! Letti comodi e stanza accogliente! Poco spazio per mangiare sé tutte le stanza sono occupate, bisogna fare la fila. Mi sono combinato con due famiglie che erano insieme e ho cenato e fatto colazione tardi, oltretutto hanno mangiato tutta la colazione messa a disposizione dalla struttura che avevo pagato! Migliorerei quest aspetto! Per il resto nulla da dire!!
- Topias (9/5): -
- matthieu (6/5): - Propreté des lieux. Les rideaux de la chambre ne se ferment pas correctement. Le petit déjeuner n’est pas à la hauteur (en libre service dans la cuisine commune, donc le dernier arrivé prend ce qui reste c’est à dire très très peu : 1 tranche de jambon, 4 tranches de fromage, 5 biscuits pour 4 !!)
Nous n’avons pas vu l’hôte du séjour.
- Partes (7/5): - La cucina è luminosa e accogliente, le camere pulite e i bagni perfetti. A disposizione latte, yogurt, tè, caffè e ottimi biscotti. Mancano i fornelli (c'è un forno a microonde), degli strofinacci puliti, lo zucchero, lo scottex e il sapone per i piatti era praticaticamente finito. Visto il prezzo ci aspettavamo bagno in camera e servizio impeccabile.
- Margrét (9/5): -
- ergosfera (6/5): - La struttura è stata rifatta ed è tutto nuovo..Parcheggio comodo. Nella stanza non ci sono armadi o posti dove appendere i vestiti.
Ci sono due bagni, di cui uno solo con la doccia, e in totale ci sono 5 stanze. Un po' poco.
La colazione era minima, inoltre con un solo tavolo da 4 più alcuni sgabelli ma spazio per due. Nessun angolo cottura.
La pulizia della cucina è lasciata agli ospiti che non sempre sono educati.
- Adela (8/5): - La ubicació és molt bona. Està net i cuidat. L'esmorzar és correcte. El fet que t'enviīn el codi per recollirles claus va molt bé perquè no has d'estar pendent de l'hora d'arribada. La descripció deia que hi havia cuina compartida i no és ben bé així. Hi ha un microones, plats, gots bols i coberts i una pica per poder-los rentar. Però no pots cuinar res, ni una truita. Hi ha una nevera petita i està gairebé plena amb les coses de l'esmorzar, així que no compteu amb poder-hi posar gaire cosa
- Gessica (10/5): Molto accogliente - Appartamento molto accogliente con piccola cucina ( ma senza piano cottura ) con qualche vivande a disposizione di chi alloggia!
- Sanja (10/5): -
- Guðrún (9/5): -
- Hwang K (10/5): -
- František (9/5): - Nebyl tam na pokoji žádný věšák,skříňka,polička na věci.Byli jsme 3 noci a něco málo by se hodilo.Jinak vše čisté ,funkční,hezké a příjemné ubytování v dobré lokalitě na cesty v oblasti.
- Sigurjón (8/5): - Vel staðsett góð herbergi en stiginn erfiður
- giulia (9/5): -
- Sofia (10/5): Ottima tappa per un soggiorno come si deve ! - Tutto! La colazione offerta apprezzatissima. La struttura internamente è nuova, pulita e dotata di ogni confort. Nulla. Magari la mancanza dei fornelli ad alcuni viaggiatori potrebbe essere un piccolo ostacolo.
- An (10/5): -
- Arnar (8/5): -
- ALEXIS (8/5): - Estaba rehabilitado hace poco y muy bien El desayuno, no había sal, y la leche estaba empezada y había poca.
- Markus (10/5): - Unkompliziert mit Keybox. Sauber, gemütlich und ein kleines Frühstück gab es am Morgen.
- Joyce (9/5): -
- Eva (6/5): - Very nice location and newly renovated. Bed was very nice and comfortable. Hostd were super nice. The door to the balcony is missing the doorknob and the balcony is messy, also the sounds from the communal kitchen travels far. We could hear it all. People late making food.
- Geoff (8/5): Quiet, clean, and well-equipped! - Great little B&B in a quiet town. Just what we needed for a night on our road trip along the northern shore.
- hallel (2/5): Misleading description of "kitchen", bad hosts - Room was ok The kitchen is not a kitchen and it is so misleading to call it that. It is just a microwave. There was no equipment for us to cook with, not even stove. You can't call it a kitchen, we counted on it with the food we brought. We ended up cooking on our mini gas stove that we used for trekking.
The host is not responding, we wrote to her on booking and on WhatsApp in the evening with no comment even until now (morning after).
There is one shower for five rooms and we had to wait a lot of time for a shower.
We left with really bad feelings about the place and we just wanted to get out as soon as possible.
- Olivier (7/5): - La cuisine commune avec seulement 4 places est trop petite et il faut attendre le matin et le soir pour manger
- Jana (8/5): -
- Paola (5/5): - È ben arredata e piuttosto nuova. Il bar sotto è molto carino e il personale gentilissimo, non so se la proprietaria sia la stessa. Il bagno si allargava facendo la doccia. La colazione può essere migliorata.
- Philippe (5/5): Très décevant - Aucun contact avec le personnel
La literie trop souple
Residence bruyante, beaucoup de claquage de portes
Le petit dejeuner très léger : que des céréales à manger, pas de fromages/charcuterie, quasi plus de yaourt et pourtant on a été dejeune à 8h !
- Annett (9/5): - Die Lage ist top. Es ist ein kleines Guesthouse und dadurch sehr gemütlich.
- Kristina (7/5): - Zimmer und Bäder recht modern. Küche schlecht ausgestattet, ohne Herd, wenig Besteck und nur 1 Tisch für 5 Zimmer. Man kann sich zwar Sachen im Café drunter leihen, die Öffnungszeiten sind aber nur von 11 bis 17 Uhr.
- Cinzia (6/5): Da migliorare - Camera pulita Colazione insufficiente
- Janneke (8/5): - Een schoon en modern appartement. Gezellige keuken. Mooie omgeving. Het ontbijt is sober, het wordt de avond van tevoren klaargezet. De andere gasten hadden niet veel overgelaten. Er is geen gelegenheid om te koken.
- Gřešek (10/5): - Hezké pokoje a sociální zařízení, plně vybavené kuchyň, ale chybí sporák. To ovšem nebylo problémem na jinak příjemné ubytování. Poklidné městečko Ölafsfjördur u stejnojmenného jezera a fjordu. V přízení budovy je kavárna, ale otvírá v 11 o víkendu vd 12.00. Trochu zmatek, co se týče snídaně. Sice jsou nachystané müsli, jogurty, mléko, ..., ale mísí se to s poztavinami, které si přinesou turisté a dají také do lednice. Tak trochu odhadujeme, co je erární a co privátní. Jestli sem někomu něco snědl pardón, ti co snědli něco mně, odpouštím :-)
- Chang (10/5): 簡約北歐風住宿 - 門口有鑰匙盒屋主會寄密碼給住宿者,是一家早午餐店面的二樓房間,屬北歐風格的設計,簡約乾淨,住房有含早餐放在小冰箱自行取用,很方便 浴室只有一間、廁所一間,要輪流使用,但是很乾淨
- Henrik Løwe (10/5): -
- Liljana (9/5): -
- Samuel (8/5): - Good for 1 stop along the way; kitchen was nice and had plenty of tools Little hot in the rooms; really small washbasins;
- Olha (10/5): We were lucky to be the only visitors. We liked the house very much. Everything was clean. I like a warm floor in the ba - A nice guesthouse. The room, kitchen and bathroom were clean. There is a coffee machine. We had a nice breakfast. Everything was good.
- Martin (8/5): - Manjkajo kuhinjski noži in kakšen kos posode.
- Judith (9/5): - Beautifully decorated place, all clean and new. Sink in the room really useful. Cozy and comfortable. A couple of kitchen knives and a pair of scissors would come very handy. The shower drain is too slow so it overflows.
- geneviève (7/5): - Un effort de décoration Pas de cuisine équipée, petit déj insipide, un petit peu bruyant car au bord d'un carrefour, cher
- šárka (10/5): - everything was fine :)
- Vibhava (5/5): - Location good Quality of breakfast .. almost nothing was there
- Albert (9/5): Wszystko w porządku 🙂 - Czyste ładne pokoje i łazienka Brak możliwości gotowania
- paola (9/5): - Fantastic overall in almost every aspect very clean and cozy Needs more breakfast selection
- Jakub (7/5): Dobry nocleg na północy - Czysto, schludnie. Umywalka w pokoju. Dobre śniadanie. Brak gąbki do mycia naczyń w kuchni. Zbyt krótkie zasłony, by w pełni zasłonić okna.
- Matthias (9/5): -
- Mehmet (10/5): -
- ms77sti (10/5): - Great location, large clean rooms. Good communication with the host, easy to check-in/checkout Breakfast was poor, 10 slices of bacon, cheese for 9 persons. Consider the location as without breakfast included
- Lilik (10/5): - Sehr gemütlich Alles tip top
- Vincent (9/5): Top empfehlenswert - Schöne Zimmer mit Geschmack gemacht
Schöne Badezimmer am Gang (kein Problem das zu teilen war) Schade das Reinigung von Abwasserung Dusche nicht gut gemacht wurde deshalb Wasser in ganze Badezimmer
Tip besser putzen !
- PHILIPPE (9/5): - La propreté et la fonctionnalité. La possibilité d arrivée et de partir quand on veut.
Le petit déjeuner inclus Le manque d informations concernant le petit déjeuner déposé la veille et pour tous les hôtes. Un peu compliqué de savoir ce qui vous est destiné
- Ronny (7/5): - Ausstattung der Unterkunft war in Ordnung und modern. Lage war in Ordnung aber sehr Laut. Problemloser Check in und Check Outlook. Frühstück war ein Witz viel zu wenig und wenn ich mit Frühstück buche,wäre es schön wenn es ordentlichen Kaffee gibt und Marmelade oder ähnliches.
- James (10/5): - Super place to stay. Very clean and modern. Really comfortable night.
- Wolfgang (8/5): -
- B. W. (9/5): -
- Viktória (7/5): - Comfortable, clean, at good location. A certain amount of food was left in the kitchen for a self-service breakfast. (There is no staff on site.) We were the last ones at 8.30am and there was hardly anything left, simply not enough for two people for a normal breakfast.
- Igor (10/5): -
- EVGENIA (9/5): - outside building a bit old, but inside freshly renovated, clean, light...Its really exceeded my expectations. we were two couples in whole building, its really comfy and nice. It’s important to take into account that there is only one shower for 4-5 rooms and a small kitchen. If there were other people, it could get really tight
- Rúnar (9/5): -
- Veronika (8/5): - Very simple accommodation, yet the bed was great. The room is quite small. For four adults and 4 pieces of luggage it was very tight. But it was enough for a short stay. Breakfast was sufficient. The kitchenette and the equipment are very nice.
Unfortunately the fridge was very small, we had to leave some of the food in the car overnight. On warm days this would be a problem.
There is practically nothing in the area. The local cafe was unfortunately closed in the evening/morning. We welcomed the possibility of coffee in the kitchenette. Anyway, thank you very much to the owner for everything.
- Gérard (7/5): - Les chambres sont propres et modernes Le petit déjeuner est très sommaire. Pas de confiture, pas de gâteau pas de fruit.
- Jósefína Hrafnhildur (10/5): - þrifalegt, gott næði, góð staðsetning og bara í alla staði mjög notalegt.
- Bronislav (8/5): - Čisté spoločné priestory, snacky v kuchynke, kúpeľňa s podlahovym kúrením. Záclony na izbe nejdú zatiahnuť úplne , sú krátke. chýbal jeden uterák ( dali 3 pre 4 osoby), na posteli boli mŕtve muchy. Hotel sme nespoznali zvonku podľa foto.. Raňajky sú nachystané v chladnicke pre všetky izby spôsobom, že šunka je v samostatnej škatuľke, syr a pod. Samozrejme ostatní hostia si ich vyberajú rukami (hygiena..) a ak vstanete neskôr zostanú vám len zbytky. Keby nemáme raňajky svoje tak sme hladní. Prečo radšej nedať jednu misku kde sa napíše číslo izby a bude určená pre jednu izbu? To by tento problém vyriešilo.
- Anne-Sophie (6/5): Passez votre chemin en basse saison (fin avril) - Chauffage au sol dans tout l'étage.
Nous étions seuls pour toute la guesthouse qui comporte 5 chambres.
Remise des clés par la boîte à clé Il n'y a pas de plaque de cuisson ce qui est problématique en basse saison car rien n'est ouvert après 17h.
Un des lits de la chambre 2 est inconfortable et les rideaux ne sont pas occultants. De plus, nous avons dû monter sur une chaise pour les débloquer.
