Pros +
- We took the room that's located just besides the river and it was beautiful to see and hear the water running. The room was spacious, the communal area in the room was nicely designed, comfortable and clean. There was dedicated parking just outside our room. There were many suggestions and options for outdoor activities. Kids facilities were fantastic.
- Location, it was on our way back to Bergen
- I just wanted to take a moment to talk about something we often rush through: the experience of a truly wonderful hotel. It’s more than just a place to sleep; it’s a sanctuary. I’ll visit again for sure!
Cons -
- It could be nice to have our beds made before we arrived. The bedrooms are fairly poorly decorated. The breakfast was nice, but the value for money was less with the food portions being limited.
- The unit is sort tiny and bed are hard
- It was there a little butterflies and small spiders and needs to be removed for more convenient.

I stayed at this charming bungalow with friends and we had an unforgettable experience. It’s a perfect escape, surrounded by greenery and the ever flowing river, it feels peaceful from city life. The cozy bungalow radiates good vibes. The inviting fireplace added warmth and a rustic charm to our evening. The staff was exceptional. They were communicative, helpful, and ensured we felt comfortable and well taken care of. We highly recommend this bungalow.
Clean, Tidy, Super Friendly Staff.
No restaurants nearby, you got only the hotel's kitchen.
We stayed for three nights at the standard riverside 2.0 cabin. The cabin was clean and the staff were very helpful. There is a fantastic playground right outside, and the flowing river with small waterfalls just next to the cabin is absolutely stunning.
There were a few downsides. Although the cabin is advertised for four people, the upper windows in the living room have no shades, which makes it very difficult to sleep on the couch. There is also no pergola or shaded area outside, so when it rains there is nowhere to sit other than inside the cabin, which can be frustrating.One important thing to mention is the wasps. There were a lot of them, both inside and outside. We were stung several times, and it was by far the worst wasp situation we experienced during our two month road trip across Norway.
Clean and modern, beautiful riverside location, excellent restaurant and food. Our riverside cabin was spacious with ample space for our family of 4 with a fully equipped kitchen. We were looking for a spot to cut up our drive from Alesund to Bergen and this was ideal. The rushing river steps from our deck with the mountains in the background was the perfect place.
Lack of window screens allowed a Lord of the Flies situation in our cabin. It's probably not an issue when it isn't summer, but the flies were a real problem during our stay. You have to sleep with open windows or it gets oppressively stuffy, but come dawn (at 4am), the flies were swarming all over us, making sleep near impossible. A few screens on the windows would have prevented this problem.
Receptionist was nice, friendly, and helpful. The place looks like it would be fun for families.
When we showed up at the time breakfast was supposed to start, the door was locked and no one was around. The room smelled like someone had dropped and broken a bottle of cologne. It was nauseating to smell that the entire night. Sheets should be included, and not 450 NOK per person. That's ridiculous.
The location of the cabin was close to an artificial beach, which was amazing for us to play with our dog :) The supermarket was super close, which was very handy.
The living room/kitchen area could be bigger but not that bad :)
The location , the vibes
The staff , also we had problem with water supply
Spacious, quiet cabin right on the water. Lovely patio out back to listen to the water. Clean, comfortable, quiet, relaxing. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was great.
Nothing!
Nice environment by the river area.
The towels that I requested in advancement should have been there at the reception when I checked in.
The location and size of the property. It is right on the river and was decent size for the family. Parking is available next to the cabins and our 9 years old kids had a lot of fun options. Being located next to a gas station and large supermarket, it was convenient to get whatever we needed. Nice outdoor seating and a firepit. Sauna next to the river.
It was a first for us having traveled many dozens of countries, you have to pay separately for linen and towels. That was fine because we were informed and we placed the order. However upon reaching there, there was no linen and we had to walk back to the fuel station and carry heavy linen back while it was raining. The staff was least bothered about not having provided it despite a preorder.
The location by the river The sport facilities were nearby and there is a large supermarket next to it. Looks renovated and clean. Good soundproof doors, you sleep without hearing the river.
Some of the kitchenware were old. The reception staff might not always be in reach but the gas station staff are very helpful.
We enjoyed the cottage with my family.. had a day to rest after days of trips and adventures around Norway! The place was perfect side the river.. clean and neat! The receptionist was very friendly and helpful.. i would recommend it!
Great location near a supermarket for Supplies
If you are over 5,10 don't forget to duck. Almost fracture my skull in the door way.
River close to the cottage, Supermarket & gas station very close to the camping
Relaxing place by the river. Kind and very helpful employees
Location and external views
Beds without blankets or duvets and this was not mentioned in the hotel specifications before
Excellent location - beautiful next to the river, e-checkin with pincode. Very nice cabin, excellent wifi, nice facilities (playground etc).
Not to say it was dirty (far from), it was clean but it could use a bit of an extra cleaning (example: dust, spiderwebs,...). Let's say that of all the accommodations we visited on our trip in Norway/Sweden, this was the only one which wasn't spotless spotless clean to perfection (which is really the standard in Norway/Sweden).
