This is a hidden gem that everyone should get to experience. The rooms are wonderful, food was amazing and breakfast was included and plentiful.

The area is spectacular. Definitely save time to explore the nearby waterfall that likely isn't in most itineraries but should be.

It is terrible experience stay in this hotel, room is too small and three units share one central small entrance, someone is drying their boots on the heater, it made very bad smell in that enter area. Everything is old, room also has bad smell, towel is dirty, white but looks in grey.…. Didn’t see any staff, I just pickups the key in the named box and plug the key in the locker when left.

Pros: stayed in room 58. Clean room and spacious for three people. So much cabinet space for easy storage of our things. A standard fridge not a mini. Not a breakfast buffet but they provided us with a delicious plate of croissant, two slices of bread, ham, cheese, cucumber, boxed juice, and unlimited cereal/coffee. It was a nice stop with waterfall nearby.

Cons: the water drained too slowly in the cramped shower. There was a locked door to another guest's room and there was little soundproofing. They disturbed us later in the night and I'm sure we disturbed them earlier in the morning. When the doors are opening and closing it creates an air pressure that rattles the connecting door between the two rooms.

Drive further, pay for a proper hotel.

Not great - dorm style ‘guesthouse’ where we shared a shower and two toilets, downstairs with two other rooms. One towel each. No hand towels, no tissues. Ran out of tp in one of the bathrooms almost immediately. Overall, No noise control. Hardly slept between neighbor’s normal talking (thin walls), uncomfortable beds and doors slamming who knows where - you hear everything. Even with earplugs. Breakfast was ok. Filling but not a buffet or much choice. Everyone gets the same plate of food. For the price, we stayed in much better places…

Pros:
Right next to Systrafoss. A nice hike up to the falls and amazing view from the top.
Close to a really good restaurant: Kjarr Restaurant & Bar.
Unique window door to the coast. Outside access.
Breakfast provided, sparse but good for lunch takeaway.
Cons:
The thinest walls ever. Just respect your neighbors cause you can hear everything through the walls.

Cute little property with wonderful staff.

Otherwise the room and bed were clean. Breakfast provided was delicious and full of variety. Cute little waterfall right next to the property allowed for a early morning walk:)

The room was a good size, admittedly the set up in the en-suite was different. We had a lovely view and the bed was comfortable.

We had a very enjoyable dinner in the restaurant, however the breakfast was a little basic (a plate with 2 slices of different bread, 2 slices of cheese, a hard boiled egg, a croissant, a boxed orange juice, a optional piece of ham, butter etc.), however there was unlimited coffee.

Having compared the prices of this guesthouse with nearby hotels, it was a lot cheaper which might explain the basic breakfast.
