    Our only problem was the cottage was too small and had no cups but as I said before we were moved to an apartment that was lovely.

    The cottage was too small and too basic. However the owner managed to move us into an apartment on day 2 which was much better. It had a lot more space and everything we needed. I would highly recommend the apartments.

    It was fine and met all our requirements. This is basic (budget) accommodation, but you get a good deal on it.

    Simple, quiet, well-equipped (with basic amenities) apartment located in the university community of Holar. The apartment provided good value for money, and I would recommend it for anyone needing basic accommodations out in the countryside.

    Television did not work, no matter what button you pressed on the remote, nothing was happening. The coaxial connector was damaged due to the sofa bed opening on the plug from previous tenants. Instructions to operate TV and or remote would have been appreciated.

    The location and surrounding. All by ourselves. Washing machine was a nice surprise.

    Not so clean, very old and torn. Lights on the bathroom did not work, water in the toilett was running constantly through the toilett. Showercurtain very dirty. T.V did not work.

    The beds where actually very comfortable and the shower was good but not that clean though. The cabin was very warm.

    The appartment was very basic, and the beds are not the most comfortable.

    The location is stunning, in a little town in the middle of nowhere in a valley. Really amazing if the quiet nature is what you are looking for.

    I arrived at 22:30 in the evening and the temp. was 4° C. Every single window was open and no heating was on. The cabin was totally frozen. It took me all night to warm up. The smell in the toilet was horrible. Huge cloak smell. Did not even bruch my teeth there.

    The bed was fine and everything was clean

    Room layout rather awkward. Not the venue's fault but Google Maps attemted to get us there va two non-existent roads before we worked it out ourselves.

    Convenient and attractive location. Excellent and friendly chef/manager, using local produce.

    I had to drive off my track, which I am sure an issue for others I would love to see if they could add some food warming equipment. Since the stores are not close by..

    The place itself is gorgeous 🥰. Will definitely stay if we are around the area. Gustav (sorry if the spelling is wrong) at the front desk was a very kind & knowledgeable gentleman. Checking was flawless I entered the place at 1am. Great paid back ambient in the restaurant nearby in the university.

    No instructions on how and where to leave the key on our check out. No instructions on how to turn on the main power supply. Struggled a bit until we figured it out that we needed to turn the power on the power clock itself not through fuses.

    Clean, heated, the bedroom is clean and comfortable.

    WiFi didn’t work. Tv didn’t work. The curtain rod was broken, and fell down two times. The rest was okay. High price for the apartment, especially when the WiFi didn’t work and stuff was broken.

    Single beds a bit close together, hard to walk between them but it is a small cabin.

    Code access is good. Good coffee/tea machine. A fridge🙂 It’s good having plates and cutlery. Helpful staff via messages. A small cosy space but still room for a sofa.
