So lovely. Everything was perfect! Our only regret is that we weren’t staying here longer. Best apartment for three adults and one child. The beds were amazing. The view spectacular and location was so convenient!
Veldig reint og rommeleg for oss 6. Det var veldig nært alt.
Ikkje noko. Det passar med bileta i annonsa.
This is a great place with a well appointed kitchen . It is very clean, close to the shops and the boat quay. Highly recommend.
The location was great…close to the bus station and the ferry quai. Everything was just as advertised. The views from the house were amazing. I would thoroughly recommend staying at this home.
Everything was great.
Súper limpio, buena ubicación, todo tipo de enseres de cocina necesarios.
Colchones de la habitación doble no era muy duros.
Een groot huis op een fantastische plek, wat een grandioos uitzicht!
Eigenlijk niets! Enige verbeterpunt zijn de rolgordijnen in de slaapkamers, deze werken niet goed en zijn niet echt verduisterend
Great location and beautiful view of the mountains
Smelled a bit dusty, like it was embedded in the beds.
La grandeur de la maison
Dommage que l’entrée principale donne sur une barre d’immeuble (hôtel) très désagréable…
Nice location to walk in the evening.
Parking was narrow.
A casa e as roupas de cama e banho estavam limpas. A casa é bem localizada, próxima ao Porto.
A casa fica atrás de outra, com acesso por uma subida de pedregulhos e mato, não adequado a pessoas com dificuldade de locomoção ou com bagagem. As janelas estavam abertas, em uma tarde fria e chuvosa. Demorou um bom tempo para a casa aquecer, o que não a fez parecer acolhedora. A casa é antiga, com decoração correspondente. Embora o banheiro esteja renovado, o box do chuveiro é muito pequeno. A coleção de livros velhos na sala é uma fonte de mofo, tive de manter a porta da sala fechada.
A beautiful large well equipped home. Wonderful, obviously recent, updates to the bathroom, the shower, and the kitchen. Handy washer and dryer in the basement. There was even a large collection of books to browse. My son and I agreed we could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for letting us use your home. Wish we could have stayed longer!
There was absolutely nothing to complain about.
Alles war wunderbar, die Nähe zum.Strand zur Innenstadt, die Wohnung exzellent aufgeteilt. Alle hatten Platz. Wir haben wirklich schöne Ferien verbracht. Danke
Alles perfekt
Arrivee un peu compliquée...boite a code
Excellent location, about one block from the ferry, 2 grocery stores, restaurants and bike rental. Very clean. Comfy beds. Spacious. Private. Quiet. Laundry.
The shower room was very nice. The toilet room was a bit outdated but clean and usable.
Meget sentralt hus. Bra med parkeringsplass, og stort nok hus for oss 7 som var på tur. Kjøkkenet er av nyere standard, og det var ingen problem å lage mat der. Booker gjerne denne overnattingsplassen igjen 👍🏼👍🏼
We stayed in the upstairs unit. Location was fine. Unit was clean. Linens were clean. Bed, at least in main bedroom was comfortable. The house had a shower room with sink and a potty room with a small sink. Shower room was nicely remodeled, however electrical outlet by vanity lights did not work. Kitchen was remodeled and looked nice. We were only there one night so did not use the kitchen.
From outside house looked updated. Inside, floors creaked, living room and bedrooms were outdated. Lighting in most rooms was dim. Toilet room had a bad smell from sewer or drain. Chandelier in main bedroom hung very low over the bed.
Het was erg warm in Noorwegen (30 graden) Heel fijn dat de airco al aan stond bij aankomst. Ruim appartement op fijne locatie.
Niets
Location is perfect. Nice views from the living room and we'll connected to supermarkets. Kitchen and bathroom are renewed and we'll equipped. Bedrooms are partially renovated, so they look fine. A trampoline available for the kids in the shared garden. Fast charging place nearby.
The water closet was old and smelly. The entrance and a room with a sleeping coach, which we did not use, was also smelly and dusty, I was sneezing every time a stayed there longer than just crossing. We had to cross that to access any other room in the house. The smell was so intense that windows had to be left open, which is not always convenient due to temperatures. I cannot imagine staying here during a season other than summer. Even though the pros, I cannot recommend the place, it has severe drawbacks.
Zentrale Lage, sehr sauber,guter Kontakt mit dem Vermieter, schöner Ausblick in die Berge. Aussenveranda zum sitzen. Sehr gute Küchenausstattung .
Leider nur ein Badezimmer
Una casa gigante!!! Eramos 4 personas y teníamos que alzar la voz para encontrarnos. Ventanales enormes para quedarse todo el día tomando café en el living. Cocina bien equipada, camas cómodas. El barrio genial.
Algo retro, pero le da su encanto. Faltaría modernizar el baño que quedó muy old fashioned. Si seguimos yendo seguro juntaron dinero para modernizarlo. Pero si dudas volvería!!!
Spacieux et éclairé, parfaitement équipé, literie, cuisine impeccables. Propreté parfaite
The house has views from all windows, with a great view of the mountain from the front room. Easy to walk to town and hiking trails. Comfortable beds with lots of space. Loved the washer and dryer as we really needed to do laundry.
I would have liked to stay here longer.
The villa is located 50 metres away from the Ferry station. Extremely convenient, spacious and clean house.
The only negative was an unpleasant smell from the toilet on arrival.
No Body wash or Shampoo and no extra towels
The host has made this apartment warm, cosy and more importantly homely. An excellent apartment to having bonding with your loved ones away from home. The host has also put in their effort to provide us with most of the condiments which we need for our cookings. Well done!
None.
Clean and spacious
Property was a little older than we thought from the listing
Spacious; kitchen really well equipped; lovely outlook
Lovely house which was nicely appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Information received from the owner was quick and thorough which made check in very easy. Very well located in Balestrand, easy to walk to shops etc. Perfect for our family of 5
No issues at all.
Location , comfortable beds, cleanliness
None
This house was beautifully presented. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds very comfortable. We were a group of 6 friends (3 couples) travelling through the fjord by ferry. We appreciated the fact that the we could easily walk to and from the wharf and other points of interest in the town. It was a memorable stay.
Excellent residence, close to supermarket, close to the port, very quiet area and magnificent views from the living room's extra large windows (see attached photos). Had everything needed to please everyone (we are a family of 4, our children are 16 and 21) from the kitchen to perfect WiFi and tv, with very comfy chairs. Everything kept in a very clean state. Great variety of walking trails nearby. We would definitely stay again if in the area.
location
Internet weak and fridge is not working.
We loved the location of this property. It was absolutely perfect. It was so easy to get to the waterfront, to all the restaurants, to the beach, etc. I would highly recommend staying in this place again. Looking out the large picture window at the mountain was Just awesome.
The only small Hitch in the whole experience was getting into the property. We went to the wrong door at first, because it was not super clear which door to go to. We even encountered other travelers who were going to the other part of the property, and they were confused too. I believe they were both named the exact same thing. I would suggest naming the two different parts of the property something completely different so there's no confusion. otherwise we had A great time.
The location. The views!
The location was excellent. Having a washer and dryer was a game changer.
Nothing
Great location, beautiful home, phenomenal view from the living room, full kitchen, clean and tidy.
There might have been some issue with the pipes in the toilet so there was a strong sewage smell in there.
This hotel was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was really nice and it had all the appliances we needed.
The TV was kind of small
I don’t normally leave reviews, but we absolutely loved our stay so we had to! The place is in perfect location, has one of the most amazing views I’ve seen and is very spacious. The owner was very quick to reply, and very accommodating. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated so the current photos don’t do it justice! We were very warm and comfortable and it was nice to catch up on some washing. Highly recommend staying here!
We didn't stay due to the substandard nature of the accommodations. We left after ten minutes. This is the first time we have ever felt the need to leave a place we'd booked.
This place was smelly, cold, shabby, and tacky. We did not stay here. We cannot imagine why anyone would want to. We immediately booked a hotel room because Holmen 2 was awful. The owner offered to contact Booking.com about a refund, which she did, apparently. But the company strung us out for two months, finally saying that the owner did not tell them in writing that our money should be refunded. We never did get a refund. Booking.com was unresponsive during the two months, not answering my polite emails and texts, and not contacting me although the representative told me that the company would get back to me. We did get a small discount before we even arrived at Holemn 2 because the wi-fi would not be working during our stay. Be sure that you are renting the place you think you are--that is, NOT the handsome two-story yellow house, but an anonymous 70s house with no view, no comfort, no warmth, and no air of cleanliness.
Awesome location. Can walk to everything in town. Large unit with beautiful views. Nice modern and clean kitchen. Comfy beds and nice shower.
Great location, large house, 3 bedrooms, modern and well equipped kitchen
Furniture and decor are a bit dated in some parts of the house
Location, clean and very courteous host
It was a good stay, nothing not to like. We had couple of issues during the stay but the host was very quick to respond and resolve
The location of Villa Holmen 2 was wonderful. It was close to Balestrand Kai/Sentrum, grocery stores, shopping, tourist, information, and restaurants. there was room enough for the four of us to spread out and have a little space in the middle of our vacation. The updated kitchen was well, equipped, and very efficiently designed. We were also able to wash clothes while we were in Balestrand. We liked the fact that the toilet and the shower were separate which I know some people from America might find unusual, but with four women, it certainly made things easier for us. The owner was also quick to respond to a couple of questions we had while we were staying.
it would’ve been nice to have more than one key since we were a group of four adults. More than one key would have made it easier for us to split up and not worry about being locked out.
Beautiful villa/house- it was extremely charming.Made you feel what it would be like to live here for real. The decor was very authentic and cozy. Comfy beds and linens/pillows. Very spacious, had everything we needed. Kitchen well equipped to cook. They texted us the day before to let us know that the 2 days we were there was a National Holiday (Constitution Day) and both supermarkets and restaurants would be closed and that we should shop before reaching Balestrand. We prepared and made simple meals at the Villa. Great /prompt communication on property’s side. Would highly recommend taking eclectic bikes around town and the fjords. We rented them for 3 hrs and the views were just breathtaking. super special.
Just recommend that they put some signs up on the doors with the Villa # on it. It was a bit confusing to find the right Villa.
super clean, well located, good communication from host, easy to check in/out. wonderful Mountain View, silent, all amenities was provides, nice and very clean lines. plenty of space and more.
nothing wrong with this place.
The size of the place. The view from the lounge. Good location.
very spacious! great location- only a few steps from the ferry and the Kviknes Hotel
all good
