Fijne uitvalsbasis.
Pros:

Het huis heeft een prachtig uitzicht.

Cons:

De keuken deel je met alle gebruikers. De voorzieningen zijn dan amper voldoende. Denk aan fornuis en vaatwasser.
Ook weinig keukendoeken en afwasborstel is er niet.

Pros:

Het is schoon en er is een vaatwasser in de keuken. Vriendelijke ontvangst.

Cons:

De familiekamer op de zolder is opgesplitst in een slaapkamer met tweepersoonsbed, die een deur heeft en op slot kan en tweemaal slaapbank in de ruimte ervoor waar geen deur zit. Een andere gast liep gewoon de trap op deze ruimte in. Ook hoor je direct alle geluiden vanuit de keuken en kwamen ook de etensluchten omhoog. Mijn dochter kon niet slapen door het harde gepraat en de vislucht (iemand ging vis bakken). Wij vinden dit niet echt veilig en zouden het ook niet aanraden voor families met kleine kinderen.
In de eetzaal was de hele stekkerdoos van de wand waardoor je direct contact zou kunnen hebben met de draden. Ook waren allebei onze rookmelders op qua batterij. De keuken is klein voor het aantal gasten, maar een fornuis.

Pros:

2박했는데, 첫날에는 다른 숙박객이 없고 게스트하우스가 완전히 청소된 상태라 좋았어요.

Cons:

3층짜리 숙소인데 4인룸은 3층이라 좁고 빙글빙글 도는 계단을 캐리어 들고 오르내려야 합니다. 3층은 별도 문으로 구분되어 있지 않고(안쪽 방 하나만 문이 있고 거실에 침대가 2개 더 있음) 2층에서 3층으로 통하는 계단은 낮은 칸막이가 하나 있기는 하지만 성인이라면 충분히 넘어 올 수 있는 구조라 안전한 느낌이 들지 않았습니다.
또한 그냥 열려 있는 구조라 2층 숙박객들이 늦은 밤, 이른 아침에 거실/조리장소에서 요리하고 크게 말하는 소리, 음식 냄새가 다 그대로 전달되어 푹 쉬지 못했습니다.
2박째 아침에 이미 쓰레기통이 가득 찼지만 공용 공간을 따로 청소하는 것 같지 않았고, 부킹닷컴 메시지를 두 번 보냈지만 체크아웃까지 응답이 전혀 없었습니다(체크인 전에는 연락 잘 됨). 주인분이 다른 직업이 있는 것 같고 게스트하우스가 면밀히 관리되는 느낌은 아니었어요.

Pros:

주인이 매우 친절했다.
욕실과 주방이 딸린 룸으로 업그레이드 해주었다. 방은 넓었고 라디에이터도 곳곳에 있었다. 근데 침실쪽 라디에이터가 안나와서 조금 추웠음. 주방은 깔끔했고 모든것을 갖추고 있었다.
유럽 쪽 숙소는 등이 어두운데 이케아 조명을 여러개 갖다놔서 괜찮았다.
방 바로 나와서 있는 마당에서 오로라도 보았다.
한국인 후기가 별로 없는데, 추천합니다.

Cons:

없음

Perfect location, friendly hosts, modern clean house, large kitchen and bathrooms
Pros:

Great location in cute little village, friendly and welcoming hosts who met me at their local coffee shop and took me to the house to check in. Lovely big kitchen with all the amenities, everything is well thought out to cook in the evenings/mornings! Amazing views from the windows of the dining area, everywhere was warm, the bathrooms were all clean and modern. My room was a small single downstairs and it was very warm and close to the shared bathrooms! Would definitely recommend to others if you want a relaxed stay to be able to do your own thing!

Cons:

The other guests I was sharing with were very noisy upstairs in the room right above mine so that kept me awake overnight but that is nothing to do with the hosts! Overall I accept these small issues when choosing to stay in a shared guesthouse!

Nice location with a great view of the water from our room.
Pros:

The location was very central in town. We had a suite on the top floor with a spectacular view of the water.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Très propre. Lit confortable. Maison agréable.

Cons:

L'établissement ne prend pas en compte les familles dans l'attribution des chambres. On s'est retrouvés avec 2 chambres tres éloignées alors que nos enfants sont assez jeunes.
2eme chose : 2 chambres sont collées à la pièce commune de repas. Très bruyant le soir et le matin ! Évidemment nous avions l'une d'elle.
La cuisine mériterait de renflouer son équipement.
