Perusmajoitus leirintäalueen kyljessä
Pros:

Huone oli siisti ja tilava.

Cons:

Majoituspaikassa ei ollut hot tubia, mikä olisi lisännyt tyytyväisyyttä paikkaan.

מלון שקט ונעים תמורה טובה למחיר
Pros:

מקלחת טובה מלון אמיתי ולא בקתה קיבלתי קוד כניסה לחדר . היה קל למצוא. סביבה מטופחת ויפה. נוף יפה מהחלון. החדר היה נקי ונעים. ארוחת בוקר טעימה מגוונת עם חביתה עם כמה אפשרויות. במיקום הזה היה מאוד נקי מאורות הצלחנו לראות את אורות הצפון . תמורה טובה למחיר . הגענו מאוחר לאחר סגירת הקבלה אז השאירו לנו מעטפה עם כרטיס כניסה לחדר. זה היה לדעתי מאוד נחמד

Cons:

מזרן רך מאוד!! קומת כניסה . תקשורת לא רציפה עם הבעלים. ניסיתי לברר לגבי אפשרויות לאכול בסביבה או במלון ולא קיבלתי תשובה. לכן נאלצתי לאכול בערב בעיר שליד . אבל לפי ביקורות קודמות היתה מסעדה טובה במלון. חדר אוכל בבוקר היה יכול להיות יותר נקי
