Firstly, the photos on booking.com were misleading. They implied the property would be much larger, whereas, in fact it was tiny. Barely room to walk past the bed, the shower screen needed to be folded in to access the toilet and there wasn’t enough room to put the clothes aired up. The preparation of the property was incomplete with someone else’s sock still in the washing machine and cutlery still in the dishwasher. There were no bowls. We ate our cereal out of mugs, one of which was chipped. We were so disappointed, we booked a hotel to stay in instead.

Tiny studio, absolutely not suitable for more than 2 people, dirty.
We are writing this review in detail because the host—as shown by her responses to other critical reviews—always finds an excuse for every problem instead of taking responsibility.
The accommodation is advertised as a "Villa" with the addition "Entire home". Because the photo gallery also displays images of a second, larger apartment, one automatically assumes it is a standalone house. In reality, it is a tiny studio/apartment inside a small building that is in no way suitable for 4 people—even for 2 people it is extremely tight.
The bedroom is completely filled with a 1.40m bed. Two people can barely fit or sleep comfortably in it. There is zero space to put suitcases down or unpack clothes.
The kitchen/hallway/living space becomes fully blocked as soon as you unfold the sofa bed. Offering this sofa bed as a sleeping arrangement for 2 additional people borders on nerve. We had to eat our meals in bed simply because there was no space available.
A look at older reviews reveals that many previous guests have fallen for this description. Since the host refuses to adjust her listing despite repeated complaints, we assume this is intentional deception and calculation. The price charged was multiple times higher than a hotel room and in no way justified for this mini-studio. Had we realized that this was not the entire property, but rather a tiny studio inside this building, we would never have booked it—especially not at this price.
When it became clear the next day—after lengthy phone calls with Booking.com and the host—that everything in the area was fully booked and we couldn't find an affordable last-minute alternative, we asked the host to at least arrange for proper cleaning. The accommodation was handed over to us dirty:
Pink mold in the shower, Limescale/urine stains and dirt in the toilet, Rotted food remains in the oven and layers of dust throughout
The host simply ignored our message requesting a cleaning.

Location was perfect. Host was very accommodating.

Perfect stay in the heart of Bergen!
A wonderful place to stay in Bergen! A small, cozy cottage, perfect for three people. The beds are very comfortable, and the location is simply perfect – right in the city center, yet peaceful and quiet, allowing you to truly relax.
Another huge advantage is the wonderful contact with the host. She is incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful, and she really makes you feel at home.
Bergen itself absolutely amazed us! It is a beautiful city full of charm and a unique atmosphere. We wholeheartedly recommend both this place and visiting Bergen. We would definitely love to come back!
Perhaps it would be nice to add a few deep plates or bowls for guests. A bread knife would also certainly be appreciated. However, these are just our small suggestions – overall, we had a wonderful stay!
Liten, koselig, ren, pen og moderne leilighet med alt man trenger modt i hjertet av Bergen ❤️ En spesiell takk til Camilla for å være så rask med svar, og ikke minst hjelpsom og hyggelig 😍🙏☺️

Die Lage war gut. Und der vorhandene Parkplatz.
Die Sauberkeit ließ zu wünschen übrig. Wir mussten den Duschabfluss von Haaren befreien! War total verstopft!!! Und der Preis ist nicht gerecht für die kleine Unterkunft!
