    Although the listed checkout time was 10:00 AM, we were pressured to leave around 9:00 AM. We rushed as the male owner knocked on both the bedroom and bathroom door and requested us to leave soon, so we ended up leaving by 9:15. Had we known the actual expected checkout time was earlier, we would have definitely left early. Other than that, the owners were overall kind and friendly, and the house was gorgeous.

    The location is absolutely stunning; peaceful, pristine, and the perfect place to relax. The owners were friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our room was clean, cozy, and we really appreciated the quiet surroundings. A special thank you to the female owner, who was extremely kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to help us with the food we brought, even though the guesthouse didn’t have a kitchen. We’re very grateful for her generosity and hospitality.

    The microwave to warm up some food would be very useful. The shower upstairs were the rooms are was not working, so the only one downstairs was available. However, we did not run into other guests so it was fine. Walls are thin, so if not whispering the other quests were hearable.

    Very welcoming hosts and beautiful house. We really liked how well the room was equiped with shelves and lighting. One can trully feel that the guests comfort was in mind by the owners. Room was clean and great thing that it had a sink. Beds were comfy, there were no noises coming from the outside.

    The owners can not do anything about it, but it is good to know that a quite strong unpleasant smell of food waste is in the air all around the Guesthouse probably due to a fish factory nearby. We did not really get used to it, which was a downside of our stay, especially during the night. No kitchen, no cooking allowed.

    Lovely couple and a beautiful wooden house! Beds are comfortable and everything is clean. We enjoyed the stay.

    It is an older house and some parts have to be renewed, for example the broken shower.

    The only issue I had was the fact that the town had nowhere open to grab food. I showed up at 8:30 in November so I kind of did that to myself 😂 but after 7:30ish in the off season, make sure you bring snacks with you. I had some tea to power me through til bedtime.

    The man who oversaw it was incredibly wonderful! He was so kind, showed me everything I needed to know about the house. He had a coffee and tea setup. It’s perfect for solo travelers going in passing. HIGHLY recommend staying with these folks because they’re so kind.

    In the area are not so many restaurants and you have no option to use a kitchen. Plan accordingly.

    Very nice hosts. The room was quite big with a comfortable bed and a balcony with view of the mountain.
