Hvalba Holidays from AU$7,473

This was a very nice hotel but the room was incredibly small. My husband and I are not large people but it was challenging to have our luggage plus us in the room as there is little storage. I would recommend removing the iron and ironing board and simply have it available for those who need it.

The room was clean and had a beautiful view. We also tried the restaurant on the second floor — the food was very good and the view made the experience even better. However, there were several inconveniences that made the stay disappointing. The spa situation was frustrating: even hotel guests have to pay around $80 for only 2 hours, including mandatory use of their swimsuits and slippers. You also have to walk outside to reach the swimming pool. Another issue was that our room was very far from the lobby, and we had to walk a long distance just to get ice. On top of that, the fridge in our room was not working, which made it extremely inconvenient if you want to keep food or drinks for an early morning excursion. The hotel also charges additional resort/tourist fees. Overall, the stay had some positive aspects, but the extra charges and inconveniences are the reason for my 3-star review.

On the day I checked in, there were a few issues—the hairdryer was broken, the lights didn’t work, and the Wi-Fi was down. However, after I contacted the host, everything was fixed by the next day. The room was smaller than I expected, but the kitchen was fully equipped with all the utensils and even seasonings, so I didn’t need to buy anything. Just make sure to bring your own cooking oil! There were cafés and a beach nearby, and the views were beautiful. The drive to get there was fun, and I even got to hike to a waterfall close by.

Great property. Beautiful surrounds - perfect base for exploring the islands. But not much around other than a shop. No restaurant etc... Would stay there again. Felt authentic.
