"Our stay at Sognefjord Gjesteheim was amazing! The hosts, Paolo & Julia, are so kind and really made our visit to Vangsnes even more special by making us feel so welcome. They’re very knowledgeable of the area and provided lots of advice / recommendations for what to see and do. The breakfast and dinner was also delicious. We’d definitely stay here again and will recommend to all our friends and family. 10/10"

"Modern, spacious and very clean apartment. We did not use kitchen but all appliances and dishes seemed very good quality.comfortable beds and clean bathroom. We knew it was close to Road on the map, Road noise was there but didn’t bother us much. The thermostat in the room did not work but again wasn’t a major issue as we turned it off and opened windows briefly to allow cooler air inside the room. Carparking facility was very helpful for us."

8/10 Good
"This a modest hotel in a wonderful little town, close to the harbor and “downtown” area. Their restaurant is good but for dinner meals make sure you know how that is functioning during your visit because there are very few places to get a meal and none are open late. Breakfast is great, available daily, with great coffee and buffet style food, awesome bread. It’s very close to the starting point of the Anders Askevold, self-guided walking tour of 11 points of interest; he was a 10th century painter, famous in Norway, and each point of interest tells an interesting story about his life in Askvoll. And the scenery is stunning."
