    I got a lot of bird flea bites and possibly also a bite from another bug during night. at least I found one in my bed. And a very large spider in the accommodation. otherwise it would have been a nice place. we had to leave two days earlier because of the bites. I wish these could be taken into account/reimbursed.

    The Location was nice.

    7 rooms sharing 3 showers and toilets with a TV in the leaving room. The room was quite small but comfortable.

    Beautiful little cabin next to the ferry and below the Castle in Rindö. The included breakfast was great. The pizzeria next door is really good 👍. Having a parking was also highly appreciated.

    There were no towels in the bathrooms, and no soap or shampoo in the shower. We’d like to have had somewhere to hang the wet towels in the room.

    Location was very close to the ferry, that takes you across to Vaxholm

    Insolation between rooms and the corridor is very poor. This combined with the very noisy doors meant that the stay was very noise, even if the people being there were not noisy on purpose. Make sure to bring ear plugs. Rooms and showers/toilets were a bit dirty. Not very dirty, but lacked some cleaning. Breakfast was supposed to be served at 8 AM. Our first morning the person in charge showed up at 8:15, made no excuse of being late and had the breakfast ready at 8:35. The second day the breakfast was ready at 8 AM, but then a lot of stuff was missing, and no one was around to ask, so we had to find our way around and find the missing stuff.

    This place is located on another island than Vaxholm but the car ferry runs often and is free so it is very easy to go back and forth to Vaxholm, even very late. Location itself is nice with a terrace with a very nice view. Rooms were good, in line with what we expected. Breakfast that was offered was good.

    Breakfast can be better cause it s easily run out on stuff but staff is there to help you Maybe a little too expensive but we are on the island

    Position isn't bad. You just need to know how to reach Rindo island but it s very easy through the yellow boat: it s a free ride. Once there you have s great view. Easy check in process very good and comfortable room. Shared bathroom are good. Decent breakfast A little noisy but they inform you that the wall are very thin and other people were very respectful. Hairdryer in the room

    Bed wasn't double, it was just one bed with two single mattresses. There was not soap in one of the bathrooms and no one to ask for. Breakfast was poor. There were 10 people staying at hotel, but when I came for breakfast coffee, hot water and other things ran out and staff wasn't there to add them. Just to mention, I came on time, because breakfast was till the 7 or 8-10AM, I was there before 9AM. Also sound isolation is not good, with us there were families with children and one of the children was runing in corridors and yelling from 5AM. It was imposible to sleep.

    View from my room was as expected, I liked it. Also very close to ferry stop, just few meters. Has good terrace, where you can seat if weather is good enough.

    One of our pillows was unwashed/stained with a white/creamy substance. Doors slam shut because the spring on the backside is too powerful. One guest went to the toilet at 5.30 am and the bedroom door slammed shut and woke us up. We had the same problem.

    Location was beautiful and very practical. 100 m from boat crossing. Easy to sleep and was quiet at night. Spacious kitchen and dining area. Decent breakfast.

    - The beds were uncomfortable. - As we were about to make coffee and make some toast at the same time, the fuse blew and it took as a while to locate the fuse box and turn it on again. Something the owners should look into. - There was no staff available on the premisses to ask for help and we didn't get any reply either on a query before our check-in.

    Location is good, very close to the ferry pick-up/drop-off which will take you mainland. There is a parking right next to the house. We only spent one night so we didn't get much time to go around the area och explore but we are planning to come back. It was easy to get inside, we got a code and instructions via confirmation email. The premisses were neat and clean. I liked the idea about breakfast, it was put in small wooden boxes in the fridge with our room number on it. Tea/coffee and other things were available on self service.

    A few more (comfortable) chairs would be good. So would an extra bathroom (or at least toilet). The path up from the parking area could be made easier/better maintained, not least for people with walking difficulties or heavy luggage.

    Lina was a superb breakfast hostess, helpful far beyond 'duty'; and the range of products good - though a few more without sugar would have been appreciated! Perfect location.

    The ferry runs all night and can be heard from the Seaview rooms but that was part of the atmosphere and not a big problem.

    Easy access to the free ferry from Vaxholm and the rest of the island. Good walking and cycling in the area and several forts to visit. Pizza restaurant nearby. There was only one other room occupied when we stayed so sharing the bathrooms was not a problem. Good showers. Attractive communal area. Excellent breakfast. Simple, comfortable, semi-communal living with privacy when you want it. Very easy booking and check in. One hour ferry ride from central Stockholm. An interesting and peaceful island.

    The soundproofing is not very good. There is no breakfast buffet during low season. This is understandable, but there is no information about this on booking.com. It was not communicated to us and was a real disappointment.

    The room and facilities were clean and the location is good. Good value for the money.
