Perfect for a night

This place was clean and quiet. It’s a little snug for 6 adults, but we managed.

Quite expensive for what you get

Rather basic! The building on the photographs turned out to consist of 2 mirrored apartments instead of 1 little house. Walls to adjacent apartment are rather thin….Good beds, fluffy duvets and clean sheets.Very poor lighting - no light on kitchen counter, no bedside lamps, only basic ceiling lights in each room. Pans with very scratched non-stick surfaces, lots and lots of baking utensils but no oven….. just a tiny microwave.No heating in bathroom, 2 out of 4 heaters in other rooms were broken BUT they were replaced really quickly after a phonecall to the booking agency! So that was great service!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Bedroom was nice, clean, simple. Dining and living room area good. All of the kitchen was in very poor condition (counters not wiped, fridge not wiped, appliances seemed very old and had stains and seemed unsanitary, cutlery/dishware also old). Bathroom was too outdated with very small shower. Driving directions to the guesthouse could be more clear with better signs; confusing to find our guesthouse. Overall much below our expectations and would not recommend to come here again, especially given the price. Would probably not come back even if it was free.

L'alloggio si trova lungo la ring road, è dotato di tutto quel che serve e lo consiglierei ad una coppia con bambini.Il self check-in è sempre molto apprezzato.La zona è ottima per vedere l'aurora boreale, se il tempo e l'attività solare lo permettono.In bagno vi è un boiler molto grande per l'acqua calda e abbiamo apprezzato che viene consigliato di non sprecarla perché la quantità è limitata.

Wir kamen, bedingt durch die mehrstündige Verspätung der Fähre, erst gegen Mitternacht an. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter klappte sehr gut, der Schlüssel war hinterlegt, Check in sehr einfach. Die Unterkunft war einfach, für eine Zwischenuebernachtung aber ausreichend.

Au calme et très facile d'accès

Nous avons passé une nuit dans cette location (un couple avec 3 enfants).Logement conforme à la description, très propre et au calme.Il y a le strict minimum dans la cuisine (pas de lave vaisselle) mais cela est suffisant pour une nuit.Les lits dans les chambres sont très confortables. Dans le salon, c'est un canapé lit très correct.

einfaches Check-in Betten waren gut - Küche extrem schmutzig - Lavabo im Bad mit dreckigem Rand - Herd schmutzig - Ränder von Türen und Fenster verschimmelt - Boden schmutzig - Esstisch klebrig - viel zu teuer für das, was man bekommt
