    You need to consider if you are okay with shared accomidation. Different people, different habits, different scheddules. If it is your thing- do not hesitate to book this place!

    Great host, great location, great atmosphere, great price

    - the room was very small - although the interaction with the owner was great, we would have liked to meet him - the bathtub in the in-house bathroom is in a place that you cannot really use, but fortunately there is a step-in shower in the basement (maybe the latter doesn't sound as much, but it is part of a very well equipped and modern bathroom)

    + old house with a very nice vibe + very clean room and house in general (also both bathrooms were spotless) + warm + well equipped kitchen + close to the bus station + very comfortable beds + very quiet place + parking space in front of the house + supermarket at less than 5 minutes walking

    The small village supermarket at Sandvagar was closed indefinitely, but the hosts actually drove me, to and from, the much bigger one in the nearby town, so I could buy some food!

    A list was left of good places to eat out, and at the top of the list was a nearby restaurant just up the road. The food was absolutely superb, especially the fish soup, and the ambience was so warm and welcoming.

    Everything was nice, so no bad things. One thing I can suggest is that for people who have problems with feet or elderly people it can be hard to go upstairs and downstairs since the steps are quite high and in old style. But it was not a problem neither for me nor for my husband. So I don’t have anything to say.

    Super nice house with a unique atmosphere. The house looks more like a family house than a tourist place, so you feel like home. Équipement is more than good for cooking, so you feel easy and nice while cooking or spending time in the living room while having a dinner. Host is super easy going and was ok that we keep our luggage downstairs because our plane was in the evening. A shop opened from 8-20 at 1 min and bus stop 5 min by walk. Free parking if needed. Nice view from All The rooms. Shower in the basement and bath tub of the first floor. I had a great time and while cooking I met a lot of nice people since the kitchen and dining places are shared. Host is making small notes everywhere so no worries how to find a shower or where to put dishes. She even left us some tea and coffee and some other useful studs as sugar or food in the special area.

    unfortunately some appliances are simply old. a bit pricey for what it offers

    The guesthouse aims at giving you the feeling of the old times. it certainly succeeds to a wide extent. the lady cleaning and taking care of the property is very helpful and friendly

    Nothing actually

    I loved the whole atmosphere of an old house which I found Cosy, quiet and sweet. Perhaps someone won't like this old fashioned style but I definitely did. The house was well furnished and had everything you need to feel comfortable. I've never met the host but a lot of nice messages were scattered throughout the whole house. It was a nice thing. About the shower, it is in the basement and it is reachable from a trap door, someone could find it creepy somehow, but to me it was one of most curious things there and I loved it as well. Overall, nothing for my experience, even though it wasn't perfect I felt myself at home.

    Walls are a little thin, but I didn’t wake up from any noise or anything.

    Very cool interior. Kept to have the same look as it had back in the 1930’s.

    As it is an older wooden building, the isolation is not great and from our room we could hear a lot what was happening in the rest of the house, so we got woken up quite a lot during the night by the other guests.

    The house is very beautiful, it looks like nothing has changed since it was built. We really enjoyed this ''retro'' style. The house has everything you need : bathroom, kitchen, living room and is perfectly located next to many touristic attractions.

    The Rooms are not well soundproofed and the door locks are very noisy. One person staying didn't seem to be on holiday, spent all day in his room on the phone/internet.

    The location is good - SandaVagur has good local walks and a pretty church. The character house is well equipped with a good kitchen, hot showers, comfortable beds and decent parking. The bus stop and food shop are convenient.

    Sandavagur is a great location!

    • Twin Room with Shared Toilet
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The house is old and needs some modernising. The bath in the bathroom upstairs is not possible to use so the bathroom serves practically just as a toilet. To have a shower you have to go out of the house and go to the basement. The rooms are tiny and the beds are very narrow. The stairs to the first floor are very steep and might cause problems to less able guests. We were lucky to be the only guests there for most of our stay, otherwise it would be very noisy and cramped with more people in such a small space.

    The guesthouse definitely has its charm with all the unique features from the last century. The Sandavagur village is a great location with beautiful scenery and some lovely hiking trails in the area. There is a little grocery shop nearby and a cafe' as well. The property was clean. The shower in the basement is new and comfortable to use. There is a free-to-use laundry right next to the shower room. The kitchen is small but well equipped with some food products free to use by guests.
