Reviews for Brekke Gard Hostel

Review 1:Order of beds. Sleeping place is very small and not much comfortable - I am sleeping under the top bed.

Review 2:The location is great and rooms are tidy and spacious.

Review 3:You could hear every move in the next room, which could be an inconvenience.

Review 4:It's simple, warm, very clean, close to the train, efficient communication and good instructions for check in. I would definitely recommend it and I find it a very good place to stay.

Review 5:Location is 15min walk from the center, which is OK, but there was no street light whatsoever along the road. No heat in the bathroom nor the living room. Outdated building

Review 6:Really nothing to like about.. It's the only accommodation that offers single bed.

Review 7:10-15 minute walk from Flam and cheaper than any of the other accomodation options there. We got upgraded to an apartment for no extra charge. The accommodation was clean and well equipped with good wifi. The receptionist was nice and offered to drive us to the train station when it was raining.

Review 8:1. Its pretty far from the center - about 20-25 minutes walk along the road. Not very comfortable, especially if you have luggage. 2. Something is to be built in the back of the houses, so it looks very messy. You will not get the view they have on the pictures. 3. It was cold in the room and in kitchen and shower just freezing (late november) 4. People on reception are were not very kind.

Review 9:Not a great location as it was quite a walk from the centre of Flam and it was very muddy (poor access road conditions). Staff were not available when you would expect (at check in for example) and could have been friendlier.

Review 10:Good views surrounding the hostel and good facilities.

Review 11:The old stairways was a bit steep, would not recommend to old or unstable persons. A bit far from centre and difficult to find, dark in the night, but not too bad. Nice with a walk.

Review 12:Nice old cottages made comfortable. We lived in room 15, big room with double bed, soft beds. Good big kitchen downstairs, easy to cook stuff. Heating and clean good bathrooms for share, but many enough.

Review 13:It's looks like it doesn't exist any isolation in the house. You will hear everything what happened in the house-every step and movement.

Review 14:The room and the whole house was very clean.

Review 15:The house itself is not a sound proof so sometimes it seems louder than it be when others stay in the living area.

Review 16:This place takes 15mins to walk from Flam station which is quiet than around the station. The location is nice, kitchen equipment and toilet are in good condition, the room size is enough for stay, not too small.

Review 17:What I didn't like - location & lighting (no street lights). It is ok if you reach there during the day. But if you reach there during the night, then it is difficult to walk to the hostel. I would have lost my way if I had reached there in the night (no street light and you will miss the sign). The landlady is pretty helpful but she comes only at two times (as I saw on the board at reception)- 5:30 pm and 8:00 pm. I reached there at 5:15 pm and she came within 5 mins. But what if you reach there at 7:00 pm? I guess you may have to wait outside till she come around. On the whole - just make sure you don't reach there in the night. Otherwise pretty good hostel.

Review 18:Very very clean & comfortable. A lot cheap compared to other hotels nearby. Very good value for money. And if you are willing to share the room with other people (which is what I did) it can be pretty cheap. I will go there again.

Review 19:We could hear clearly what next room talking and it was very noisy when the room upstairs was walking non stop. Better go for the apartment not the hostel one.

Review 20:The hostel is close to Brekkefossen.

Review 21:The location! I felt so bad for the tourists doing the Norway in a Nutshell package who got straight on the boat from the train. Flam is beautiful and well worth an overnight stay. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The hostel is just a few minutes stroll from the ferry port. The wifi wasnt amazing but who cares about wifi when you're staying in such a beautiful place.

Review 22:The heater and the WiFi didn't work well. It's bad to have the heater not working that good during the cold night.

Review 23:It is located at a really nice location. A bit far from the centre but then it gives a really nice walk through the small town.

Review 24:Very basic, no lockers and security could be a lot better (but then again, Norway is pretty safe!). Could do with an additional bathroom per the number of people

Review 25:Rustic old house, stayed in the dorm, nice walk to waterfall nearby

Review 26:I send the email to staff from dorm room to double room,they reply me is cancel the old booking then book a new one is better for us.(but I pay 2.2% booking fee already)Is it very hard to change the room from their system? After you check out they can't keep your luggage in luggage room. They just say you can hiding in somewhere.Staff was it really friendly/helpful. Room was clean n not really far from the train station.

Review 27:Nothing was wrong. Its just being rebuilt after the floods last year, so the roads were a bit muddy. Perhaps a 'knock first!' sign on the shared bathrooms - some of my fellow travellers kept trying the door. Thankfully it locks!

Review 28:Walking distance from Flam main square. Tidy. Clean. Good price. Book early because it sells out.

Review 29:Stayed in the old barn and the first night we had it to ourselves and was wonderful. Next few nights it was crowded and noise pretty bad with kids crying and then a group arriving at 4am another night. You can hear everything from one end of the place to the other. Kitchen needs a bit more stuff to cope with the number of people.

Review 30:Lovely location and great if you have a vehicle as a bit out of town. Lots of character in the buildings

Review 31:There was only one staff. He was very very beginer. We wasted lots of time because of him. However I fully understand. He was just beginer. Anyway he was kind though.

Review 32:Good location, warm room and not bad sandwich with juice.

Review 33:The location of this hotel is not best but not worst than the othercity,it is not difficult to find it out.The reception are not open anytime,when I got the hotel, I waited for almost half hour to get mykey.The hotel is made of woods,they do not allowed you wear your shoes,I was stupid when I see others they was not wear their socks,i took offmines,then the floor hurt my toes.But I think it was my fault.

Review 34:The mattress was very soft,bedclothes were also soft but not very clean.

Review 35:The staff was really friendly and helpful. The houses are very cosy. It was cold outside and when we arrived the heater had already been turned on. We were able to rent bikes at a fair price.

Review 36:The kitchen itself was clean but the furniture where you could find plates and glasses was very dusty and had clearly not been cleaned in a while. Also for some reason, we kept finding dead and live wasps in the bedroom even though the windows were closed. I have no idea how they got in but chasing wasps in pijamas at midnight was not a fun experience...

Review 37:It was nice to have a kitchen to cook because the restaurant and cafes are very few and expensive in Flam. The bathroom is outside the cabin but it was clean and the shower worked perfectly. We had a power shortage but the staff reacted quickly and we had power back in no time. It may be a bit farther away from the village but it is closer to the Brekkefossen waterfall, beautiful hike!

Review 38:well its a 300 year old house. you can hear everything in it. of course everybody tries to be as quite as possible still erveryone will get up at the same time cause you can hear their alarm clock in the house. the rooms are realy minimalistic. 2 beds 1 chair. had some holes in the wall of old Pictures i guess. wasnt realy appealing.

Review 39:great Price Kitchen is nice and you will find everything you need (except tee spoons)

Review 40:Far from the center of town. One of the beds was a mattress on the floor - no bedspring, and you couldn't sit up because of the low roof.

Review 41:Backpacker oriented, so not a party hostel. People asleep early and good at sharing space.

Review 42:Paper thin walls(and very noisy next door occupants). Very very very steep narrow stairs make taking large bags up somewhat treachorous. About 1km from town.

Review 43:Beautiful setting near a waterfall. Great kitchen. Place to leave luggage. Very good price.

Review 44:Staffs aren't always there, sometime need to wait for them to check-in or rent a bike.

Review 45:It was simple but with everything you needed. Great location with amazing view of valley, and it was 10 minutes walking from center only, staffs were very friendly.Great value for money.

Review 46:Really expensive for what it was. They charged extra for bedsheets AND towels. Shared bathrooms. Kitchen was in a different building! This all would be fine if it was cheap to stay there, but it wasn't cheap at all. No kettle in rooms, no coffee, no breakfast, no nothing! Quite a walk from the town center too. I have been in way better hotels for half the price and they didn't charge extra for towels or bedsheets.

Review 47:The room was dirty, really dusty. The ground of the common use rooms were also dirty. The house was too full. I did not know we would share the bathroom and kitchen with so many people.

Review 48:The location is good, close to the center of Flam. The personal is friendly, despite overloaded with work, since the person in the reception was alone. Still, the price is fair, compared to other options in Flam.

Review 49:It's an old cabin with thin walls, so it does get VERY loud when people are going to bed and waking up.

Review 50:Great location, very nice accommodations. The showers are amazing, heated floors and everything.

Review 51:Only one bathroom for ten beds.

Review 52:Very clean and cute property, in an old Norwegian home. comfortable beds, nice kitchen, good price, not a bad distance from the town (15 minutes walk).

Review 53:Can become overcrowded with respect to the number of bathroms. But I did not have any problems because of that. It is not in the center of Flåm, you need 15 minutes walking to get there. Reception opening hours was limited.

Review 54:The position and the overall atmosphere. My room was in a old fashioned house, a bit detached from the main houses, and just in front of a waterfall. I really felt in the nature.

Review 55:Walked from the train station, which was farther than the website suggested. There was no one at the office. A couple of minutes later a girl drove up and asked us (5 people in total) if we could wait for her to drop someone off somewhere. We didn't really have a choice, so we waited, outside, in the rain, for about 20 minutes until she drove back. We had booked a double room with shared bathroom. As we brought our sleeping bag liners we didn't pay the extra money for bedsheets - the cost was already high for the room. The mattress and pillows were disgusting. I know you will think it our fault for not paying for the bedsheets but, honestly, if you are not proving sheets, then don't provide pillows! People have been sleeping and drooling on them without a pillow case for many months, I can tell you. The shared bathroom was shabby and dirty. Considering the rest of the accommodations in Flåm and the fact that we passed a Hostel International with camping facilities on our long walk to this one, the only reason anybody should stay here would be desperation.

Review 56:The view. The original house is an old farmhouse and very interesting.

Review 57:I'm a pretty low maintenance gal, but I hated this place. I figured,hey it's just one night why not?First of all, whoever said this place is not far clearly is a total liar! Are you kidding? This place is SO far from the center of Flam if you don't have a car like me & need to carry your luggage all the way there. The walk took me about 30 minutes and I was miserable having to carry my big backpacking bag. Now I know what it means to be "expensive to be cheap." Added cost for towels & linens 50 nok Ride to the center of Flam 75 nok Shower/bathroom shared with 9 other rooms Line to take a shower Someone walked in on me while i was in the bathroom (lock is broken) Zero privacy If you're in one of the downstairs bedrooms like I was, the squeaky noise from people walking upstairs will drive you bonkers. THANK GOD I was only there for 1 night. If I were ever to go back to Flam, I would definitely just pay more to stay at the Fretheim Hotel so I can actually relax & be comfortable.

Review 58:The nature surrounding this place was great. It's like heaven onearth.

Review 59:Didnt allow me to have late checkout despite prior emails saying I could. BEDBUGS... need i say more. Due to the reception not being 24 hour, I had to spend the night sleeping on the floor with my coat as a duvet and was still covered in bites in the morning.

Review 60:The scenery around the hostel is beautiful

Review 61:no soundproof at all. We can even hear people from other room snoring. Quite far away from the station especially for people with suitcase.

Review 62:The decoration of the hostel is cozy and has authentic Scandinavia features. The kitchen and bathroom are nice

Review 63:There was only one bathroom for 7 people staying in the house and one night returning at 11pm we were locked out of the house. When we complained the next morning we were told this "shouldn't happen". However, if that is the case why is there a mechanism for other guests to lock the house to begin with?

Review 64:The location was beautiful and the rate was reasonable for that area.

Review 65:Booked and requested a double room and was given a twin, was not rectified after telling the staff, they just told me there weren't any doubles available even though i booked well in advance.

Review 66:In a quiet are with a waterfall in the background

Review 67:1-Room far from anything for example kitchen. In separate house which ontop of that got issue with entering (really slippery hill, no stairs ect)-we got room number 20. 2-staff at checking in was really polite, whilelater during check out they were simply rude. Background- we agree on1st day that after check out time we can use for 1h the kitchen, reality-when we just enter it 1 old lady who I guess was hired for cleaningstart to shout at us in some weird language (african I guess -definitely wasnt any european language) later her younger friendtranslae to us and add from herself that no agreemen from yestedray isvalid, she is " owner" and we have to get out now, didnt evenlet us boling water). Their excuse was they need to clean the house (buttheir didint clean kitchen that time just rooms upstairs). So first theycould let use boil water and give us 5min at least, second they shouldrespect people not shout at them, especialy their customers.

Review 68:Wifi in every houses, heating in the floor working perfectly (which wasimportant as outside was during the night 3c) room was big

Review 69:The rooms are quite noisy and you can even hear the people in the other rooms. It is around 10 minutes walking from the port.

Review 70:Very nice and old building in an impressive location. Three bathrooms to share for 10 bedrooms and a kitchen. We were lucky and we had a very big family room for two

Review 71:The room is not clean, doesn't seem to have been cleaned up after previous travellers left. the house we stayed in, the bathroom was shared by 8 people (when fully booked, the bathroom is shared by 10, 11 people), the toilet is not separate, so could be problematic sometimes. By all means try to avoid staying downstairs, as the noise upstairs travel completely to downstairs, people walking upstairs felt like walking on top of our heads. Luckily there is another room free we could move to.

Review 72:It is the cheapest you can get in the area. The receptionist is helpful.

Review 73:Not enough shared bathroom and toilets

Review 74:Great location, close to the train station and near by a beautiful waterfall. Very well kept old house and clean common kitchen

Review 75:Location quite far Wifi does not work properply Six people in one room is too much, considering the price. One bathroom for 10 people is really a bad idea. There is no soundproof between rooms at all!! Not enough outlets

Review 76:Very noisy. Silent time supposed to be from 10.30pm but never enforced. We had a family come in and allow their 4 children to sing songs full volume/race up and down the stairs until 2am most nights. Very frustrating. It's an old building so you hear every sound from the people above or below you, you'd think everyone was stomping around in clogs! Whole building could use some paint touch ups where it's peeling off walls etc and looks shabby. We saw no staff during our 5 day visit.

Review 77:Beautiful location within a few minutes walk of Flam. Handy for those on a budget and a lovely walk to a waterfall just behind the building. Kitchen facilities were handy and plenty of space to hang out.

Review 78:There is no breakfast, and it is 20 min walking from the center.

Review 79:The hostel are historical houses from old people from the village. The houses are adapted for nowadays necessity and are confortable and warm. It is located in a great landscape, near a waterfall.

Review 80:We were put in a room in a nearby farm, but we were never told about this. The room was far from the reception and the city centre of Flam. The room and the bathroom were quite clean.

Review 81:Good wifi connection Silence and far from tourists Expensive for the type of accomodation but cheaper than anything else in flam.

Review 82:There was no soundproofing so the building was very noisy and you could hear everything, doors locking/unlocking etc. During our stay other guests were not respecting the 10.30pm quiet and others arrived at 1am one night.

Review 83:There was a big living/kitchen area. Lovely views of the waterfall. We used another reviewers directions to get there so walked from the train station no problem.

Review 84:The only minor thing was that the floor in our room seemed like it could do with a clean, but it wasn't major. There was free WiFi, but the connection wasn't great and we kept getting disconnected (maybe due to a poor router that couldn't withstand the number of connected devices). Once you were connected, the speed was good. It's important to time your bathroom uses well, as we had some trouble with getting in there because it got very busy in the evenings.

Review 85:This was a great cheaper option compared with other accommodation in Flåm. It was basic, but comfortable and largely clean. Our room was right next to the kitchen, it was quite large with just a bed in the centre, and two small cabinets. Bed linen and towels were available for hire for 50nok. There were locks on the bedroom doors. The kitchen was nice, and everyone seemed to be good at cleaning up after themselves when they had finished. There was a full sized oven and set of hobs, and a microwave and fridge. There were some pots and pans, as well as various crockery and cutlery available for use. The bathroom was nice and clean, and the shower good. Toilet paper was provided, but nothing else. The buildings were very pretty, positioned in farmland apart from the busy areas. It was just a short walk from Flåm station/port. We particularly enjoyed seeing the cows and sheep living in the surrounding area :-).

Review 86:Except the kindness of the girl at the reception,this Place is like a nightmare. First of all,the price in euro was around 65,then it strangely came up to 90,paying krones. In the beginning we were given a room in an other building,not in those ones shown in the site. The first feeling was to run away immediately. The room was dirty,just a bed against a wall. Thanks to the kindness of the girl,we were given an other room,a little better than the previous 1. Here the blankets were so dirty and smelling With suspicious spots. The shared bathroom was a big room,very depressing With urine around the toilette. Dont Waste ur Money here,

Review 87:Nothing

Review 88:Due to wooden structure, we can hear every single sound made from other occupants in the same house (Especially family with kids running up and down). Although the house is lovely, it is far too noisy for a stay in Flam.

Review 89:Very pleasant view from the hostel. Staffs are nice, room is neat and bathroom is clean.

Review 90:Little expensive (and pay for towel and sheets), a little farther away than other accommodations, walk outside to bathroom

Review 91:Awesome family cottage. Great staff. Very clean

Review 92:Unfortunately we had a room that only had two single beds and a chair. That was all. Not even a bedside table or a picture on the wall and definitely no room for them neither. Although the hike from the station to the hostel was very pleasant, it was quite far from the ferry and train station.

Review 93:Shared kitchen has been recently renewed and it was very well equipped. Shared bathrooms were OK.

Review 94:They are doing some nice renovations, but that involved some noise and mess for our stay. Also, travelers should be aware that the stairway to our room was old and narrow, and best suited to people who are nimble and travel light.

Review 95:The staff were helpful and nice and our room was comfortable. The hike to nearby Brekkefossen was fun for our family. Overall, it was a very pleasant place to stay, and I would return.

Review 96:Accessibility. We stayed on the third floor and it was impossible to get there with our bags. The young girl who atended us was not sympathic. She saw we carrying on wheel bags and she informed the worst way to get the house. We had to pass through a sort of ooze. Further, she had a car and she might well help us.

Review 97:The building is nice.

Review 98:Had to pay extra to get sheets on the beds. Never been asked to pay extra for sheets before. Left me baffled but we ended up with paying 250 NOK extra.

Review 99:only one bathroom for 3? rooms; one being a dorm room; so 10 people trying to use bathroom in the morning can be a little time consuming. I didn't have any large wheeled luggage but I see a few people struggled to get their stuff to the accommodation - so travel light!

Review 100:Place is very clean and full of character. Kitchen was very well equipped and makes cooking very easy. Very close to one of the hikes to the fall and not too far to walk to town (10 mins); Good value if you intend to stay one night in Flam

Review 101:Very noisy neighbors, which were speaking loudly and singing at 11 p.m. No control from the hostel personel and no any sound isolation - all the house is like one room. About 20 min walk from Flam

Review 102:2 beds for low price, there is kitchen and shower

Review 103:Did not find Wi-fi password when looking for it. The information should be given at other places in addition to in the kitchen. I did not look for it in the kitchen, was expecting to find it by the router in the living room (stue).

Review 104:The location is quite a walk from the train station and water heater runs out quickly, at least at the house we stayed. We had to go to bed without taking a shower.

Review 105:The girls who worked at the reception desk and took care of daily cleaning were very nice.

Review 106:Reception staff mainly absent. Noone when I arrived (had to wait 20 mins for someone to turn up); no one next morning to answer questions; no one when other guests turned up (had to guide them in) and... no one when I checked out

Review 107:Cute rooms in individual houses with great shower rooms

Review 108:We would have loved if they had arranged something like a barbeque night. There was nice little cottage with a fireplace for grilling but it was locked.

Review 109:It was nice that the hostel was a little bit further away from the center which was crowded with tourists all the time.

Review 110:wifi is poor, the tower and sheet are not free. we arrived late, the recipetion has gone, they missed one carpet for one bed.

Review 111:we have our own kitchen and the shared toliet and shower room are clean and eay to use. I like the wood hourse. staff is friendly. easy to access to the fall.

Review 112:Just at check in. When I got to reception it was close and no note at all so you don't know what's going on. I tried calling the numbers posted on the door but my calls were unanswered. There were already two guys waiting for 30mins when I got there.

Review 113:About 15-20 mins walk from the train station. I stayed at the red farmhouse and facilities were great! Bathroom were modern and clean. Beds are comfy and has great wifi connection. Btw you have to pay for linens 50kroner

Review 114:The bathroom was in demand because there was only one for the entire house. So it was hard to use it especially in the morning. It also wasn't super comfortable to use due to the number of people using it. The room itself was ok, but the blinds could be replaced.

Review 115:Location was within a 10-15min walk to Flåm tourist area and grocery store.

Review 116:There were no signs for the hostel. But Fortunately there were many persons whom we can ask , most of them knew. I drove the car to Flåm village then have to head back to bridge over the other side of river. Overall a good experience. Road was still under construction.

Review 117:Location was quiet and peaceful. We travelled with small toddlers. Shared kitchen and washroom were good. A bit far from main train station but that's what you expect the farm to be...

Review 118:We enjoyed our cabin (#19) for its coziness, views, and convenience. It was also very clean and offered all that we needed for an overnight stay.

Review 119:The location of the red hostel (rooms 1-10) is very pretty (end ofvalley by a waterfall) and I took loads of photos but it is a pain toget to on foot with heavy bags / small children. However the staffwill give you a lift for nok 75 (though at a time which suits themrather than when you ask). The guests who stayed above us were so noisy- arguing at the top of their voices until after midnight - they totallyignored my husband knocking on their door at 11pm. As always in ahostel, the quality of your sleep is only as good as the considerationof others... It is an old building so noise travels. Cheap for Flam butexpensive for a hostel.

Review 120:Our room (no. 4) was really spacious with an extra room for the kidsattached (bonus!) The red building and its location by the waterfall isso pretty. It has lots of character and gets you away from the cruiseship chaos of Flam. I am glad we were in the red house rather than thewhite cottages as they feel part of a building site at the mo. Thekitchen and bathrooms were clean and you can eat at a table outside too.

Review 121:Bathroom was a bit spare and the window didn't close making it cold. I was not tempted to shower. Overall a bit on the shabby side but hey, it's a hostel.

Review 122:a bit of a walk but a beautiful setting with two waterfalls outside my window. Old farmhouse made for an authentic Norwegian setting.

Review 123:Having to walk 60 metres to another building to use the fridge and kitchen. Shared bathroom not cleaned and soap etc not replenished. Sheets didn't fit double bed and beds not very comfortable. Wifi very patchy and slow. Free wifi in town much better. Quite a walk from town with suitcases. There are different buildings. We stayed underneath the main house, so can't comment on what the others are like.

Review 124:Relatively cheap accommodation.

Review 125:A little bit far from railway station and dock. It takes me 15-20 mins to walk there. The house is made of wood so it's noisy when someone walk up/down stairs.

Review 126:The room is tiny but clean. There are 3 toilets in one house. The shared living room is quite big. There are kitchen also. You can cook by yourself.

Review 127:Didn't like that there is no linen included & pillows are very thin. We were given 2 single beds, but only one quilt. In the "red house" (100m away) there was no internet at all. The floors in this 300 year old building slope so badly that we had to sleep with our heads away from the wall - bathrooms are the same.

Review 128:Despite the odd rooms, we slept very well! The kitchen is new and brilliant... and the hub of the house where you meet and mix. You can eat outdoors at the two large picnic tables with waterfall views, in the kitchen (farmhouse-style) or in the formal dining room which adjoins the comfortable lounge area. It's far enough from town (8 minutes walk) to avoid the tourist crush from the cruise boats. There's a supermarket (Co-op) in town. We would definitely stay again!

Review 129:- the room wasn't the one showed on the picture - the receptionist couldn't help us with our complaint and the owner didn't even call us back after leaving several voicemails - I guess we we're unfortuned to get the room next to the kitchen that was very noisy and we could even hear every conversation from the rooms next and above us.

Review 130:Note that the hostel is advertised as "just over half a kilometer from Flåm Station and the Aurlandfjord shore", but in reality is 1.4km from Flåm station and a bit more from the shore.

Review 131:large room, good price

Review 132:There was no hot water available during my stay! And I met two other households who had the same problem, therefore not an accident or unfortunate incident. The location is relatively far as compared to other hotels and hostels (but the price is not cheaper) and since the hostel is under renovation it is difficult for guests with luggage to go there, although it is okay for backpackers or those who have baggages. The hostel itself is a historical building, so the wall and ceiling are thin and you can hear people walking and talking, but if your neighbor is quiet then there is no problem.

Review 133:The room is clean. The shared bathroom and toilet is also well-maintained and clean. There is a kitchen available and equipped with essential utensils for cooking. I also love the surrounding of the hostel, in which you face a waterfall the moment you are awake, the view is simply breathtaking!!

Review 134:Not being able to find out the cost of linen and towel hire beforehand, it was £5/ person all in.

Review 135:The location, quiet and friendliness of othe visitors.

Review 136:The floor of one of the two bathrooms was "spongey", giving the feeling it could collapse any moment. And the floor in general had such a slant that we put our pillows at the foot of the bed!

Review 137:While the location was a we trek for mature folk with suitcases, it was doable and walking toward the massive waterfall in the background and past the cows was a lovely experience.

Review 138:This is the worst place ever. Poor location. Poor bed. One toilet and bathroom for 13 guests. Extra charge for towel and sheet. Shampoo run out. Toilet paper run out. No receptionist at night. It was night mare to stay here.
