Bra läge och strandnära.
Sunkigt logement med mycket spartanskt inredda rum med två sängar, ett litet bord och två stolar. Inga sänglampor. De allmänna utrymmena inredda med ”secondhandmöbler” a la 80-tal. Wi-Fi fungerade ej. Saknades husgeråd i det gemensamma köket. Bristfällig städning av toaletter och duschar - städades förs efter att vi sagt till.

The location was great, the staff was helpful. The kitchen is in the public area, and it was ok, but should have more types of vessels. The hot water in shower, though it took long to get, was in abundance.
The Place needs better maintenance and renovation.
We were allotted a room, turned out lights were not working. Tried another room, bathroom lights were not working. The third room was ok and finally that was allotted.
There were no good blinders on all the windows! How can a summer holidays place can forget/neglect having good blinders!!?
For shower, it needed to run water for 5 whole minutes before the hot water finally came.

The Location close to the Beach is Great
The property has the feel and look of Old militant Baracks from the 50s. ( probably they have been) . The concept of a simple holiday resort might have worked in former times. However today the facilities, rooms (bunk beds on linoleum ) , bathrooms (shared with no dry area of floor) and shared spaces (old sofas) is not up to standard . 5his especially considering the pricing (2023 summer: 1000sek / night For 4 persons plus linens for all 600sek ). Additionally the on-site restaurant ceased to exists, (the webpage states different) meaning extra costs for breakfast in the near village of Strömstad.
Overall not really value for money.
The place was fully booked, lot of Norwegian electric cars - last stop before expensive Norway on the road nord.

The room and bathroom was clean, the sheets clean and the bed was comfy. And the location is good.
We arrived after a day on the beach, very much in need of a shower, but found that the hotel had run out of hot water. This had been happening for several days according to other guests I talked to.
The host knew of the situation according to other guests, yet did not inform us when we checked in.
Very little sound proofing in the building. The room was right next to the communal kitchen, which was used by several people, with food smells coming in through the door and prep noises through the wall. Also - No WiFi in the building.
All in all, I think the hotel is expensive and I will hesitate to return unless I get a good price.
2.5
The surroundings and the area i simply so idyllic, calm and beautiful that it compensate fully for the slightly worn down houses! I recommend this place for the atmosphere, the beach, the wonderful sunset and the nature!
Some of the cabins would benefit from a bit of renovation.
2.5
Beautiful location.
Room not completely clean. Late August = pretty much abandoned. Doors swinging open in the wind. Reception abandoned upon arrival. Reception store looked like something from the Soviet Union. No restaurant, despite website and sign at entry advertising a restaurant / pizzeria. Kind of spooky.
2.5
A run down former vacation colony. no staff at all.
key in a letter box. Not clean.
2.5
Charming old School wooden buildings on a huge and quiet area with trees, lawns and cliffs near the sea..
A bit run down but still very good value for the money..
2.5
Nothing. But the staff was polite.
It was dirty, haven't been cleaned in what looked like years. And I'm not picky.
I've seen prisons with higher standards. The beds where extremely uncomfortable. You had to rent or bring your own bedsheets. No sound proofing, I could literally hear my neighbour breathing. Building hasn't been painted or maintained in 10 years, at least. It looked like it was one wind gush away from falling over. I've staid at budget motels 1/10 of the price made from containers with twice the standard, with included bedsheets. If you can find any other places to stay, you probably should.

Beautiful location.
Beds were hard and smaller then standard, long people had to sleep with feet outside the bed. Thin walls, we could here our neighbours breathe. 2/4 toilets were in function. The kitchen lacked coffee machines and spoons.

Great location
Poor standard

The location was the super nice
The common bathrooms need a way better cleaning.
They should give more attention to it.
2.5
Nothing, it was a mistake to book there.
The place was filthy, WC and shovers full of hair and toilet paper all over... Noisy and walls of paper
2.5
Nice area.
Almost everything. Bad smell. Bad kitchen. Almost everything is broken up there.
2.5
The wonderful location, good space between the houses, the wonderful beach, the sunset and that we could bring our dog 😊.
The houses could do with a renovation soon.
2.5
Lack of basic kitchen equipment although the staff was helpful to solve the needs with some time delays.
2.5
Other guests were really noisy and walls extremely thin.
The place is very run down and depressing.
2.5
Location and space was great
I had booked quadruple room but I was expecting a private kitchen as I saw the photos added to this room
There should be clear information that the kitchen is shared
Simply adding the kitchen photos created false expectation and confusion
2.5
Fin utsikt, bra badstrand
Sängar var väldigt enkla.
2.5
Nearness to the beach
The room was extremely bare, but functional. The area seemed abandoned. Very out of the way without restaurants and shops. This is a hostel not a hotel.
