Alles was al zo goed als dicht. Ook het zwembad was leeg in de eerste week van september.

Reviewed Sep 13, 2026Tolle Lage, toller Ausblick auf die Schären, nettes Personal, gepflegte Anlage, große Terrasse. Weitere Sitzmöglichkeiten im Grünen und direkt am Wasser.
Sitzmöbel müssten erneuert werden, die Couch war schon ziemlich abgenutzt. Am Esstisch nur sehr einfache, nicht sehr stabile Klappstühle, die in einem schlechten Zustand waren. Schlechter Wasserablauf in der Dusche. Ziemlich klein, wenn nasse Sachen getrocknet werden müssen, kein Wäscheständer.

Reviewed Sep 9, 2026Geräumige Ferienwohnung mit guter Ausstattung. Sehr freundliches Personal an der Rezeption. Wir haben nur eine Nacht hier verbracht, aber hatten alles was wir brauchten. Der Pool war toll für unser Kind.
Die Balkonmöbel waren in die Jahre gekommen, der Tisch stand nicht mehr sicher.

Reviewed Aug 17, 2026Fantastisk beliggenhed. God service. Venlig betjening. Fin lille hytte. Smukke omgivelser.
Det eneste, jeg oplevede, der kunne være bedre, var den udvendige vedligeholdelse af hytten. Malingen var skallet af på både gelænder og terrasse så en smule vedligehold ville give en ekstra god oplevelse.
10/10
Reviewed Aug 17, 2026Nydelig beliggenhet, mange aktivitetsmuligheter, svært hyggelig personale og lett tilgang til overnattingsstedet med bil. For vår del var det også avgjørende at vi kunne ha med hund. Vi kommer mer enn gjerne tilbake :-)

Reviewed Aug 3, 2026Vi storkoste oss! Feriesenteret har nydelig beliggenhet ved sjøen, leide fin 3 roms leilighet rett ved oppvarmet basseng. Barna badet masse. Hyggelig ung mann som tok imot oss i resepsjonen, han var også servitør på Marina restaurant, like flink der! Kommer garantert tilbake hit 👏😊
Sengen på hovedsoverom var gammel og knirket veldig, denne burde absolutt vært byttet ut. Ellers hadde overbygget til de 2 oppvarmede bassengene trengt høytrykkspyling, det hadde grodd endel på disse. Håndsåpe og zalo kunne det med fordel vært i leiligheten.

Reviewed Jul 20, 2026(very) small cabin in a sort of village. Chose it if you want to feel like in a camper van. Temperature inside the cabin was insane when we arrived, most probably over 30°C and front window is the door, so you don't have any possibility to keep it slightly open to allow fresh air to run through it. Windows in the room and the bathroom are small and lack of nets so you can only keep them open with lights switched off Bathroom is again camper style, very narrow (I'd say claustrophobic). they don't even provide you with a soap for washing your hands we required a cot for our baby and accepted an additional charge for it (seems to be normal practice in Norway, while anywhere else is free) but it was supplied without linings, when we opened it no space was left in the cabin Great to see young employees anywhere, but it's definitely recommended to guide them with a more experienced supervisor it was too late to run away unfortunately
