MOMENTOS SURREALISTAS EN LAS FEROE
Pros:

Estupendo desayuno. Té de la tarde. Experiencia inmersiva y surrealista.

Cons:

Es imposible mejorar la comodidad por las condiciones mismas del lugar, pero eso ha de considerarse como parte de la experiencia.

Excellent séjour dans cette demeure atypique, à recommander
Pros:

Maison atypique ! Tout est dans son jus, on a l'impression de faire un bon dans le passé
Notre hôte, plein de bon conseils et quelques gestes attentionnés
Il sait créer une atmosphère propice à l'échange entre les différents invités du lieu
Le petit déjeuner était variés, copieux et excellent
Bref nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette guesthouse

Cons:

Peut être la baignoire, un peu compliquer de se doucher sans éclabousser
Sinon le manque d'offre de restauration dans les environs mais cela n'est pas de la responsabilité de nos hôtes !!

It was like staying in a museum.

Nothing.

Excellent séjour
Pros:

La maison, située dans un très joli village d'une des plus belles îles de l'archipel, est un véritable musée et il vaut une visite à elle seule. Le gérant, Johan, est vraiment gentil et plein d'attention et le petit déjeuner était gargantuesque.

Cons:

Ce n'est pas pour toutes les bourses mais le prix est selon moi justifié

Pleasant
Pros:

Definitely interesting place to see, like everyone says - museum type, I wouldn't recommend to stay there longer than 1 night if you have to, and definitely not in a full season as if more people there, it can be inconvenient - small corridors and shared bathroom, easily transferred noise from other rooms when you walk, not for this price at least. Definitelly don't book the smallest room - this is not worth even half of the price. Overal, interesting place to check out, nothing more.

Cons:

Moths, small corridors, luckily not crowded when I was there, but you literally hear every step someone makes. Was shocked to see the small room as door was opened - this looks like a small closet or something - I was so lucky I didn't book it as the price is crazy high for this.

Disappointing stay at a very expensive price
Cons:

The owner apparently forgot about our reservation, she was not even on site. She did call and find someone to show us the room. We had also received a confirmation email from her for dinner (most of the restaurants where closed on the island), but since no one was there, no dinner. The couple she had stop by was even concerned about us being able to find a restaurant. A discounted rate would have been nice, but we paid over $270 for someone to ignore us.

I loved my host and the beauty of this old house.

Cons:

The rooms are quite small. I was alone, so that was fine with me, but some people might feel squashed inside.

Trip down memory lane in the Faroe Islands
Pros:

Beautifully kept authentic family home with furniture and memorabilia from previous generations. It gives a great impression of what living might have been like in the (not too long ago) past on the Faroe Islands. The host was super friendly and we had great discussions, as well as stories about the family in the Faroe Islands.

Pros:

The house was beautiful, a living museum built in 1912 and in great conditions for the guests to enjoy it. The host was amazing. He prepared a delicious traditional cake and breakfast for us, and shared many stories about the Faores people and their culture.
