    Clean, calm and comfy. Nice people!

    Expensive basic room. Breakfast should offer more choices.

    9JennyPosted on: 8-13-2025

    The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is good and homie. Check in and check out process is easy.

    9LauraPosted on: 8-8-2025

    This location is great for visiting the puffin colony and the hiking trails. Breakfast was good, as was the one dinner we had there. The room was clean and comfortable. We were in what looked like the newest building.

    We know window screens aren't traditional there, but when we opened the windows to cool down, we let in a lot of flies.

    7SaraPosted on: 7-12-2025

    The breakfast was good. The location to the puffin viewing area was nice, too.

    The power went out, there was a hole in the wall, the mirror was missing from the room, there was no TV. Parking was full and the staff weren't super helpful in solving that problem.

    10ElizabethPosted on: 7-3-2025

    So close to the puffins! Our room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was excellent.

    7ErinPosted on: 6-5-2025

    The staff were nice and the location is ideal to see puffins.

    The beds were hard.

    8AnasPosted on: 6-5-2025

    Amazing location for puffins, thank you so much for the staff who checked us In as his advice on best timing to see the puffins although it was raining and we didn’t plan to visit them in the evening, his advice made us go there and we don’t regret it despite the heavy rain, thank you so much, in general super friendly team.

    10pamamiaPosted on: 6-1-2025

    Room is spacious and clean with beautiful mountain view/ocean view. We enjoy our stay.

    In a very remote area. But once you see all the puffins in a nearby colony, all the hard drive paid off.The facility is somewhat dated.

    There are not that many hotels in this little town, and this was one of the few options. It is a place where you can stay overnight. The staff were nice and accommodating, which is great. And it is super close to the puffin cliff, where you can walk on the path, they are just all right there.

    I would look for other alternative properties to stay next time. The room is clean, but I'm not particularly fond of the private bathroom aesthetic. This is more of a personal preference, of course, but it gives me the creeps with the lighting, arrangement, tile colors, etc. Parking can also be an issue; we got back late, and there were no parking spaces available. Eventually, one of the staff in the staff cabin saw us looking for a parking space and moved their car. Maybe it would be a better idea for the staff to park at the staff cabin in the first place. Breakfast was short on items, chaotic, tables were not cleaned in a timely fashion, and dishes just sat there. Coffee ran out a few times. Lots need to improve in this regard. You can have and accommodate lots of people, but you have to be prepared.

    10Rita K.Posted on: 5-23-2025

    Very kind and accommodating staff. Breakfast was included. The place is beautiful. Right on the fjords. Getting there is not for the faint of heart, but it's beautiful. The rooms were clean. The food delicious.

    10TravisPosted on: 4-20-2025

    Host was very flexible. We had to delay a day due to snow storm. He let us change with no problems.

    6AllysonPosted on: 9-25-2024

    Location was great, restaurant food was good and staff very friendly

    There was no heater or vent in the bathroom

    6BethPosted on: 9-3-2024

    The mattress was comfortable.

    There was only one pillow for each person. There was no art in the room or TV. Breakfast had limited options.

    6MichaelPosted on: 8-29-2024

    Breakfast was good. Room was comfortable once the temperature came up.

    Room was very cold and took a long time to warm up. Heat was turned off and window was open when we arrived, had to wear our costs for an hour or more inside the room while it warmed up. Breakfast room is very noisy.

    10VassilisPosted on: 8-28-2024

    The wooden construction had 10 rooms in a row. Our room was spacious, well decorated and had comfortable beds. Breakfast was very tasty and of good quality. We are sorry that we did not eat in the restaurant as the menu looked delicious. Location is next to the puffin.

    No toiletries in the shower.
