Un alojamiento con mucho encanto. El anfitrión nos acogió en la llegada y nos explicó todo con detalle, estuvo muy atento a todo. Las vistas eran increíbles. la ubicación cerca para coger ferry y tren. La cocina muy bien equipada con té y café disponible. Los baños eran compartidos, pero nunca nos lo encontrábamos ocupados y siempre muy limpios. Habitaciones cómodas y calentitas. Este alojamiento da sensación de hogar.
Nada.

One of the best places I have ever stayed. The house is filled with love and warmth, it is very soulful and peaceful. The staff is wonderful and super friendly. It is incredibly beautiful both inside and outside. You really don't want to leave such places, and when you leave, you want to come back.

Lovely location just a short walk from the centre of Flåm with amazing views over the fjord! The guesthouse has such character and everything you need for the most comfortable stay. Joe the manager and Jürgen were so friendly and helpful and really made the stay even more enjoyable
Nothing. We were a bit concerned about the shared bathrooms on booking but it was not an issue at all. Don’t let it put you off!

The guest house is immaculate with stunning views of the fjords and has a very welcoming and friendly staff.
Joe, one of the owners, was a lot of fun to talk to. The guest house is in a great location close to town and a sauna.

Obviously the view was amazing. But what I loved was that the bed was comfortable, the place is kept super clean, and staff was super hospitable. It’s a charming and quirky place - as they said, read the description carefully- and for this traveler it was absolutely perfect!

Read any review on this and you will know it was a fantastic view. This is house retains the vibe of the former family who lived in it in some ways, so its like a house-hostel a la Grandma. It’s cute, I mean the bathroom was even decked out in pink tiles with accent of mint. It’s in a great location, just away from the main hub of Flåm/the dock/port area. you have a floating sauna near and the staff at the house were all really wonderful to connect with. Very cute and charming place. If you go- read the guest book. It’s endearing to see what ppl had to say about it in the 80’s. There are 7 rooms, 3 full baths and a couple of half baths so there was never any issues accessing a bathroom when needed. There is a full kitchen that is available for use, as well!
The walls are not very soundproof. Though, it would have been fine had the people next door to me had just been considerate and not talking at a normal volume until 1am. I didn’t sleep well and that was a bummer, and I think it would be great if the House had clearly stated quiet hours- as far as I could tell they didn’t so I definitely didn’t feel comfortable asking the people to be quieter.

Nice, old and spectacular home with great location to do all things in Flåm area. Small, nice rooms (go for sea view room) and you share facilities with others. Not a 5 star hotel with breakfast and room service, but clean and a very good experience. The view is amazing.
6.0
It's all about the view- large picture window to the harbor from our room. Friendly and helpful staff, and many young travelers staying there also.
The guest house has no official name, and no signage, so the locals in town didn't know where it was, but they helped us figure it out from the map on the reservation. It was a bit of a walk from the train with no apparent other option to get there. But it was a beautiful walk along the waterfront (as it wasn't raining.) Our room was downstairs and had a musty damp smell. The bathroom facilities are shared, as described, like a hostel. The toilet room is cramped.

Spent 3 nights here. It is a very lovely home away from home, complete with a full kitchen, dining/lounge rooms and a pink bathroom. Loved the view of the fjord from my room. Location wise couldn't be any better, near the town but not too close to the busy-ness especially when the cruise ships come in. Staff very friendly and helpful, Joe is awesome.
Some guests may not understand the concept of house share, at times it can get a bit noisy especially at night, like stomping on the stairs and slamming their doors. So perhaps a gentle reminder when they check in would be great.

Excellent location. It has an incredible view, a comfortable mattress, and a clean, nice property. The kitchen has all the necessities with a nice extra touch, like the selection of teas and freshly brewed coffee in the morning. Hosts are very hospitable, open, and flexible.
Nothing I can think of.

The house is in an excellent location and we had a beautiful view of the fjord from the room. The house is also within short walk from the town centre, which was really nice as we didn’t have a car.
Hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcoming and helpful with information when Vy train abandoned travellers by cancelling trains without providing information about alternative information or making alternative arrangements.
The house is old yet beautiful property with periodic features. It’s very well maintained and kept the hosts make a great effort to keep it clean and maintain.
Unfortunately the property has thin walls so we could hear everything our next door people talking. John intervened when I informed the situation and we had a peaceful evening.
The quality of beds can be improved. They are very soft and are two small single beds than standard single.
7.0
The location is brilliant and it allows us to gaze directly upon the majestic fjord from our room.
The staff is very friendly. Whenever we have questions, they were very delighted to help us.
The public area is clean and well maintained. On a sunny day, we can also eat in the balcony and enjoy the magnificent view.
We did not expect that sleeping became an issue during our stay. One of the primary factors was the thin white curtain that failed to block out the light. Another drawback was the absence of sound isolation. Despite with ear plug, we could hear people walking in the hallway till midnight and again before 6am from public area.

Good location with great view. The house is very well organized (fridge, tea available, compost etc), enough WC and shower for the amount of people and clean.
The thing hiding the window in our room didn’t close completely all the way to the side so there were quite some light coming in the room. For us (light sleeper) it would have been helpful to have an extra curtain.

Super cozy, clean house with a terrific view from the balcony! Hosts are lovely guys with a great sense of humor. Highly recommend and wish to come back here again!

The host was very welcoming and informative, the place has got this international 'hostel' vibe so you get to interact with people from all over the world.
The bathroom situation could be improved, in case its fully booked (which is indeed the case in Summer) expect long que
ue in the morning 'rush hour' as there are only two showers.

This property is a house and you rent a room and share bathroom and the kitchen. It is very close to where the ferry docked and you can walk to the property. The house is decorated very cutely in a Mid Century decor. Very clean and quiet. There is a restaurant across the street or you can cook your own food.
Just need a Sign on the property and a few better directions online.

Fantastic location with amazing fjord view. Staff were engaging and friendly. The guest house was comfortable and welcoming.
One has to be ok with sharing bathrooms and toilets. We never found it an issue. Other guests were considerate

This place is AMAZING!! The hosts are so nice and welcoming. The house is beautiful and well appointed. It is located very close to the center of Flam, the marina, and the ferries. The view from the house is outstanding. We loved our stay and wished it weren't so brief.

A great place to stay in Fløme just 5mns walk from the train station. Our room did face the fjord and was very cosy. Staff is welcoming and shared bathroom with other guests is definitely not a big deal.

The two hosts were amazing, super chilled but also very friendly. The guesthouse was spotless and loved how it was decorated / furnished traditionally. The original guestbook from the 80’s was also a very cool touch
