It was right by the black sand beach! The views around the guesthouse are beautiful and it felt like home.

Nothing!

The room had very nice views

One of the bathrooms was not renovated. The kitchen was a little small for all the guests.

The location and the large window in the room offering a magnificent view down to the sea in good weather. Everything is clean and nice. Well-equipped kitchen, spacious bedroom, perfect sanitary facilities. The owner helped us out a lot with the storm, agreeing to move our reservation for one night.

Nothing to say

the kindness of the staff, the cleanliness, very comfortable beds, the location very close to vik, they let us stay in the room after checkout until the evening during a snowstorm. exceptional

the shower in the room is not separate and risks flooding the bathroom, but there are other shared bathrooms with better showers
