Our room is very clean and quiet. Staff are very friendly. Our room’s view is super, we can see the beautiful sunset in our room. Location is good, not too far from Vik where we can have great restaurants for dinner. Not too far for many activities.

The location is very nice, nestled at the base of Peter's Island which offers a beautiful view and between two excellent sightseeing spots. Dyrholey is about 10 minutes to the east, and the the Skogafoss waterfall is about 10 minutes to the west. Nero (dog) was a sweet and friendly welcoming committee, The place is pretty pricey for the condition of the property, and breakfast wasn't included in our plan. The walls are also very thin, even though we had a private bathroom we could still hear people doing their business. The location is great, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Need lower threshold into bathrooms. Tripped every time and it is hard-edged. Would be nice to allow using dining area to eat one’s own food. Staff declined that request.
