Beautiful guesthouse. Lovely atmosphere. Scrumptious breakfast. Our heater was not working but that was possibly due to the time of the year. We didn’t end up asking. They had games to play. Shared bathroom was not awkward. Cute room. Clean!

Hi Sinu Thank you for your visit and you have taken the time to write a feedback. All rooms here are different with different prices, therefore it is possible to choose whether you want shared bathroom facilities or private. You write that the center is far, everything is relatively, most guests arrive by car and it takes about 4 minutes to reach the city center. Our guests come here as a rule because of nature here, so the hotel was built here between mountains and lakes in the last century I see you think that the young man was rude and that he had spilled water at the end of the bed. I do not quite know what you mean, but it is possible that he has not thoroughly dried the floor after the floor wash. We of course want the guests to have a good experience here, so this will be passed on to the young man, who is not a regular part of the staff here. Regard Zara

I can see that you have chosen to be anonymous so I can not see which room you have booked. But thanks for your reviews anyway All rooms are different here, with different prices and standards. I guess you've booked our smallest and cheapest room where a new bath room has just been installed. You are quite right that the room is not completely finished with shower curtains etc. Therefore, the price was also thereafter. This will of course be corrected as quickly as possible

Charming B&B in Picturesque Fjord Valley
Our cozy room was decorated with authentic Norwegian antiques. The bed was comfortable and the atmosphere was quiet. The setting couldn't have been more lovely, nestled in the Eidfjord Valley. The food was delicious (both dinner and breakfast), cooked by an attentive chef on site. The staff were helpful and friendly. We couldn't have been more at home. The one drawback was a shared bathroom, but it was kept clean and it was very handy.

We were hesitant about shared WC but it was fine. We did not get to experience the pancakes as our prepaid breakfast either did not include them or there was language barrier. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the uniquiness of the building and room. Bed was a bit small for a double but manageable. Enjoyed having a desk for computer work.

This beautiful hotel is located in a most beautiful surrounding. However, we did notice the order called it a cabin that was outside the hotel. The cabin was clean and fine. Bathrooms were located outside but were also clean and kept privacy. They did not have separate bathrooms for woman. When we came in they asked for more money for sheets and blanket covers. However after insisting this was a hotel order that said nothing about additional costs we were not billed for them. We had to put the sheets and covers on the beds our self

Quirky old school hotel that was just the ticket!
Not to everyone's taste I'm sure but after a long day driving through the fjords from Sweden this little gem was just what we needed. You can choose from little cabins in the front or rooms in the main building with a common unisex bathroom. We stayed in the main building and it was tidy and quiet. Great crepe-forward food for dinner and breakfast. Not a four-star hotel for sure but a great place to recharge and relax and the staff was super friendly and helpful. One if the highlights of our trip.

Hi Thank you for reviewing your feedback, making it possible for other guests to know what they are booking here at Eidfjord Guest House that enjoys a quiet place in the late hours You are quite right in your description, we are a simple place in a great nature, at the foot of the Naturesevat and starting point for many well-known tours The house is of Victorian style from 1894 and is furnished from that time, so do not expect a party place, with flashing lights Most of our guests enjoy a dinner with a beer or glass of wine and rest out before next day's nature experiences

Great place to stay in Eidfjord
We stopped at this great place during our 2 days trip from Bergen. It was a great place for overnight. I just loved the house with a rich history. We slept in a little cottage outside the main building. They cook a great food and are famous for their panecakes. The owner and his wife Zara are extremely friendly and a great company. They took us for a lovely trip to the falls. We travelled by bus with a little kid. And by the end of september there are no tour to the falls so they offered us a tour with them and even drove us to Eidfjord for a ferry the next day. And they done it all for free just for us! Amazing. Thank you very much again.

A charming little bed & breakfast
We arrived here after a long hike and were absolutely charmed by the place. Vintage wallpaper lines the hallways, quirky armchairs adorn each corner. We opted to get a room inside of the house (instead of the cabins outside), and I think that was well worth it. (You get more of the experience of being in a cute house, plus it's nice having a bathroom down the hall instead of having to go outside of your cabin.) There's a shared bathroom in the hallway. I was pleased to find it was very clean and had two stalls for showering (so you won't find yourself waiting for the shower, unlike at other budget hostels/hotels you might visit). The room itself was fairly basic (two twin beds, a sink for your convenience), but we found it accommodating. The hotel is located in a quieter part of Eidfjord. It has incredibly beautiful surroundings--mountains, charming barns, etc. We loved drinking in the view while enjoying breakfast (cold cuts, bread, jam, coffee, juice, etc.) on the terrace/porch. Overall, I'd highly recommend this place for the traveler on a budget.

Good and accurate website and helpful reviews made this an as expected accommodation. Suzanne, the owner was very friendly and interesting. We stayed in a small cabin that was perfect for our needs. The atmosphere was very cozy. Water, parks, trails, and Flat Earth adventures(kayak, white-water, bike rentals, etc. are just a few minutes walk away. Would definitely return here if we were staying in the same general area.

Good place to base for exploring the area
Upon arrival the owners were friendly, helpful and provided information about the surrounding areas including tours and services. We stayed in a Comfort Cabin that was fitted with a fridge and hotplates making meals more easily achieved. The main hotel has a small but good menu and the breakfast was excellent. The location, between Eidfjord and the Voringfossen waterfalls, at the end of the Hardanger Fjord was beautifully scenic and the surrounding mountains provided an ever changing picture. This is an incredible beautiful part of the world and the Eidfjord Gjestgiveri is a great place to explore from.

Good small hotel option
We knew when we booked that the bathrooms were shared, but the layout (two showers/two toilets, one of each for men and women within the same room) was odd. No frills (no TV in our room, no yogurt/variety at breakfast), but good value for a 1-night road trip south.

More like camping than a hotel
When we arrived at this hotel, we were informed that we were to stay in small cabins on the property. They were cozy and cute. However, not only is there no bathroom in the room, it is down several concrete steps in a basement. This was not something I wanted to do in the dark at night. We were waste that this was considered a Bed and Breakfast with a shared bathroom. But we had no idea that going outside was part f the deal. Additionally, as we checked in, the proprietor asked if we brought our own linens. Of course we did NOT. We were never told in advance that sheets and pillow cases were not included n the price. That cost us another $10 per person! Towels were not provided either and showers are in that basement too.

Nice B&B in a beautiful setting
In general good experience. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised. We got a corner room with a beautiful view of mountains and a couple of falls, and it was larger than what I expected. Very comfortable. Sharing the bathrooms was not a major problem, though it would be good if there were a little slide selector in the door that could indicate who was using the bathroom (showers, toilets, male/female). The only disappointment was during breakfast that I asked for milk for the cereal and the owner answered, quite matter of fact, that they had run out of milk. The logistic issue was somewhat surprising, but also I sensed some lack of sensitivity towards this issue. Even taking this minor problem into account, our overall experience was very good.

Great place, but NOT in Eidfjord
Please note that this hotel is in Ovre (Upper) Eidfjord, not Eidfjord. Thus, it is about 10 km from the harbor in Eidfjord - requiring a bus or taxi ride if you arrive by boat. With that in mind, it is a great place. The facility is a classic bed and breakfast with a beautiful porch with tables, chairs, games, and furs for sitting while taking in the nearby mountains and lake. The owners are new (as of 2012), but very kind and helpful.

Feeling home!!
This was one of the nicest hotels I've ever been. It's basic but very cozy and service minded. They have everything you need and if you need more, the owner takes care of it!! This is a typical hotel where you feel at home, where people listen to you and try to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I needed to some tools because a failure in my car..NO PROBLEM!. Unlike the comments of another guest: there is a freezer, you just have to ask! The price is very reasonable so don't expect a 3 star hotel but at least I got more value for my money than I thought!...in short, I'll be back!

Hei sverre Takk for tlibakemeldingen, som kan hjelpe oss til å forbedre oppholdet for andre gjester. Jeg kan kun beklage at du ikke syntes om stedet. Til orientering kan jeg opplyse at alle rom her har meget kraftige dører med store låser. Har heller ikke hørt om problemer med innbrud i Gjestgiveriets Snart 150 årige historie. Vinduene er ikke nye men er veldige kraftige og fungere fint, problemet kan være hvis man glemmer og stenge dem, eller utluftnings lemmen som er bygd inn øverst i rammen står åpen. Frokosten er absolut ikke enkel, men dette er en smak sak. Takk for at du skriver at Wi Fi fungerer godt. Hilsen Zara

Vi bestilte dobbeltrom på Eidfjord Gjestgiveri pga nydelege bilder av hotellet og spesielt romma som var flott innreda i gammal stil. Men stor var skuffelsen då vi kom fram og fekk tildelt ei knøtt lita hytte. Prøvte å få bytte til rom på hotellet men fekk besjed om at der var det fullt og blei på nett vist at det var hytte vi hadde bestilt. Under bestillinga hadde vi ikkje sett noke hytter kun bilder av hotell og flotte rom. Så visst det er noke de kan forbedre så er det nettsida. Det som redda opphaldet var at hoteller solgte super mat og serverte nydeleg frukost.
