Matkat – Karlsøy

Loved the property but after we left the host tried to scam us by saying we left the place without tidying up. He wanted 1000NOK/£70. I told him we videoed the entire place showing it was spotless before we left, and he quickly told us to not worry about the 1000NOK. The place was also advertised as a 3 bedroom house yet he failed to tell us that one of the bedrooms is his private bedroom and is not to be used! I would return to Finnsnes, but never to this place.

Maukas aamiainen kauniisti aseteltu, illallinen hyvä, ympäristö upea, eläimet hellyttävä, henkilökunta avulias ja mukava, hintataso hieman korkea

No, gave a room with worst view, no working wifi and a broken lamp. There was no electric kettle as well in -17°.

First of all, the place is still being developed, so everything was only half finished, especially the hotel outside areas. The floor heating malfunctioned on the first night and by the time reception was again open in the morning, the room had heated up to 35 °C making sleep utterly impossible during the night. Windows were locked, so it was impossible to open them. Of course, nothing on the room info binder how to handle the room temperature, or maybe instructions for the weird fan they have on the wall. The fan was in any case unresponsive too, so not much help there either. To be fair, I discovered later how to unlock them, but you don't think straight when it's in the middle of the night and you're in distress. After discussing about the problem with the seemingly indifferent staff, I came back later to the hotel and my room to discover that they had fixed the problem by opening up all the windows for the whole day, so a bird had flown in and shat on the floor, so I was wondering if I'm on a candid camera already. 1/10 experience, strong suggestion to stay away from this place.
