Very disappointing- poorly maintained and overpriced
Pros:

None

Cons:

We expected a cozy Norwegian guesthouse, but it was run by non-Norwegian hosts. This was not the local Norwegian experience we were hoping for.

From the moment we entered the building -and even inside our room- there was a strong, unpleasant smell. The bathroom had an even worse odor, which the hosts dismissed as “old building smell”, but it felt more like mold or poor ventilation.

The bed was saggy, and I woke up with back pain due to the lack of support. The bathroom door handle was loose, and the room key didn’t work smoothly. The overall building exterior looked extremely old, in need of major renovation.

The pizza served at the restaurant seemed like low-quality frozen pizza- definitely not fresh, and overpriced.

Breakfast was equally underwhelming - boiled eggs and paprika tasted odd and were not fresh. The forks and plates were not properly clean, and even the cup smelled unpleasant.

While the nature surroundings are beautiful, the property itself felt neglected, unhygienic, and overpriced. We left with back pain, upset stomachs, and a strong sense of disappointment. We will not be returning.

Eenvoudig verblijf op een prachtige locatie.
Pros:

Prachtige locatie, vooral een kamer met zicht op het fjord is aan te bevelen. Ontbijtruimte heeft veel licht en heeft ook zicht op het fjord. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Een comfortabele, openbare ruimte waar je kunt lezen, televisie kijken. De speelruimte is heel ruim en leuk aangekleed met tafelvoetbal, tafeltennis en pooltafel. Als de receptie bemand is, is het mogelijk gratis koffie/thee te verkrijgen.

Cons:

Het gebouw is uit hout opgetrokken en is erg gehorig. We hoorden iedere beweging van de gasten boven en naast ons. De bedden zijn bovendien verouderd en hangen door in het midden, waardoor je in een kuil ligt. Bovendien zat er hoogteverschil in de bedden.

Pros:

God seng og grei beliggenhet. Frokosten var enkel, men god, men foretrekker eggerøre uten baconbiter, det kunne fint vært delt på to fat.

Pros:

Jedyną rzeczą wartą jakiejkolwiek uwagi jest lokalizacj obiektu. Widoki z okna są naprawdę piękne.

Cons:

Co do zasady wszystko. Obiekt jest stary, zniszczony i krzyczy o remont. Zdjęcia są mocno podkoloryzowane, na żywo zastajemy obiekt sprzed dobrych 30tu lat. Łazienka to absolutna tragedia, nie bez powodu nie pokazano jej zdjęć. Cena kosmiczna w stosunku do tego, co dostajemy w zamian.

Tolle Unterkunft am Hardangerfjord
Pros:

Unser Zimmer lag in einem separaten Gebäude, direkt an einem Bach. Das Zimmer war sauber, geräumig und zweckmäßig ausgestattet, das Bett bequem. Das nächtliche Rauschen des Bachs war sehr beruhigend.
Super war die Möglichkeit, die Gemeinschaftsküche des gegenüberliegenden Campingplatzes mitzunutzen.
