Pros:

everything about Boen Gard was exceptional. The value for money was brilliant. From the check in to check out, everything in between was superb. The staff were top tier, food was exquisite, the buildings were beautiful with a lot of history. The rooms very very clean and very comfortable and in addition a personal welcome note. Nothing to fault about our experience. Will continue to recommend to people.

Cons:

nothing to fault about our stay.

Parfait
Pros:

Parfait. Le domaine est grand et calme. C’est paisible. La chambre est super bien renové. Jolie salle de bain. Lit super confortable. On a l’impression de dormir dans un nuage. Et le repas est délicieux. C est un restaurant gastronomique donc il faut le savoir. Mais la cuisine est délicieuse. Je les vois bien avoir une étoile Michelin prochainement.

Cons:

Rien. Tout était parfait. Mon seul regret est de n être resté qu’une seule nuit.

Ottimo per un soggiorno bucolico
Pros:

Suggestiva la location e anche la struttura è molto bella.
Validissima alternativa a un soggiorno più “urbano” a Kristiansand.
Piacevole la camera e gli ambienti comuni.

Cons:

Lo staff non è stato molto collaborativo soprattutto quando, appena arrivati, è mancata l’energia elettrica per 5 ore.
Mi sarei aspettato maggiore aiuto per sistemarci nella stanza al buio e sotto la pioggia.

Would definitely recommend.
Pros:

A most beautiful property about 15 minutes from downtown Kristiansand. Rooms were large and comfy with lovely decor. The grounds were beautiful to walk around and, if weather had permitted, we definitely would’ve spent more time on the river bank. Pierre was a great sommelier accommodating our needs in a sweet and kind way.

Cons:

Being out of town you are kinda locked into the restaurant for dinner which would not be a problem if it was possible to order a la carte rather than having to choose from the three or five course meal which was expensive. Just a heads up tho: There is a communal kitchen where a meal can be prepared - we did not realize that before we arrived.

Pros:

El Rio tan bonito que pasa justo delante del hotel.

Cons:

Las cajas incomidas, edredo son cortos. Las cajas supletorias son super incomodas.

La habitación esta pelada a la cocina y a primera hora se escucha la llegado de gente andando.

El precio me parece excesivo.

Pros:

An sich eine wunderbare Location! Toll gelegen und ein ganz besonderer Charme. Die Küche ist herausragend!

Leider hatten wir etwas Pech mit einigen Dingen: Unser Zimmer war extrem hellhörig. Jedes Rücken eines Stuhles und jeder Gang war leider zu hören und hat uns leider auch den Schlaf gestört. Etwas Befremdlich war auch, dass es keinen Schrank oder Kommode für die Sachen gibt. Das heißt, dass man sprichwörtlich aus dem Koffer lebt. Dann wurden wir aufgefordert in ein anderes Hotel zu ziehen, da man übersehen hat, dass eine Hochzeitsgesellschaft kommt und unser Zimmer wohl doppelt vergeben wurde. Das war eine sehr unangenehme Erfahrung. Nach ein paar SMS und einem Gespräch mit der Hotelmanagerin wurde dies geklärt und wir blieben. Das Zimmer wurde einmal nicht gereinigt und nicht mit frischen Handtüchern bestückt und die Zimmerkarte wurde einen Tag zu früh deaktiviert. Deshalb gibt es von uns deutlichen Punktabzug für ein sonst tolles Hotel in einer typisch norwegischen schönen Umgebung.

Peaceful and good for the soul.
Pros:

Just a fantastic place to stay. The location is serene and the facilities impeccable. The staff were extremely pleasant and nothing was to much trouble. Breakfast was lovely. Would have stayed longer if I could. Very comfortable rooms and great Wi-Fi.

Cons:

My stay was too short.

The hotel is lovely but sharing some advice on how to improve it
Pros:

We spent a great night over in the hotel. The territory, the nature (the waterfall also), the window views – everything looked fantastic! The hotel is very nice and pretty, it is evident how the hotel staff take care of it and cherish it. This is a very well-designed space with unique amenities.
The restaurant wine list was one of the biggest we have seen in Norway, it is really variable. Although, I would like to point out some important observations that other tourists might find helpful when planning their stay

Cons:

There is no help with luggage, and the territory is rather big, it would be great if someone could help and show around. There is no reception in the classical sense and no concierge, which is understandable as in Norway it is not common.
It would also be great to arrange a small gym to be able to work out after a long driving or walking day (to place a yoga mat and some dumbbells, for example).
As we loved the hotel very much and would like to help it to improve, I will share a feedback about our experience. There are some things that can be foreseen and fixed for the future, like the linen bed linen, the linen is a prickly material (maybe better to use other materials).
There are no hangers in the bathroom for the towels as well as the big shower towels are absent.
The breakfast was great, buffet style (although there is not much choice to choose and order from the menu, the service is fast, which is also good).
As for the dinner, it was quite a disaster. Here I would like to share my view with the hotel to be able to create more ways to serve it. This was a set dinner consisting of 4 very small dishes (which cannot be fully modified if you have allergies or personal preferences). The dinner lasted for 3 hours, some of the family members did not even wait up for the desserts and left the table hungry and tired. Our son does not eat meat, so he was offered 2 small dishes with a piece of carrot, radish and asparagus. There are no restaurants nearby and no room service to have more options.
So, my suggestion is to keep this set menu option only for those who are just visiting the hotel or celebrating some event (and have more time).
As for the tourists travelling the whole day and just wanting to have dinner (with normal-size portions of meat/chicken or fish) which would not take long, it would be great to have an a la carte menu option. Maybe a small buffet will do
