    The ceiling over the bed is very low, making it a little claustrophobic and hard to turn if you´re a couple staying there. I would have appreciated to have a spare mattress to be placed on the floor in the living room.

    You cannot beat the location: the view is breathtaking. The villa is located outside of the busy Reine and the island itself is lovely. The house is small, but we found everything we needed for recharging batteries after amazing hikes in the area.

    While the stay was enjoyable, the bed on the second floor is very close to the ceiling, and the angled roof makes it a bit tricky for two people to sleep comfortably. Also, the stairs to the bed are quite steep, which might not be ideal for everyone. If you don’t mind these quirks, it’s still a great place to stay!

    Great stay at a decent price! The location is perfect for spotting the Northern Lights, and the place was clean and well-equipped, making it comfortable even for long stays. Everything needed for a cozy stay was provided, and the atmosphere was great for enjoying nature.

    Nothing, the only thing you need to keep in mind is that the shower can run out of hot water because it's a boiler.

    Awesome MINI villa at a perfect location in Reine, stunning view from the cosy cottage. Has everything you need for 2 people. You have to be a little flexible to get in bed, but the matras is great. Absolutely great place to stay.

    The ladder up to bed might be dufficult if you have any mobility issues. The sleeping space is rather small. Unless you are two tiny people I will not recommend to a couple.

    Location!! If you manage to secure this place, you have won the jackpot. Front row seat to the best views and you are totally private. The minivilla is perfect for solo travel. It had everything you need. Lovely cosy in winter.

    No windows can be opened in the lower area and only two windows have curtains. This means you have little privacy because people tend to look into the beautiful hut. It's also bright at night because you can't turn off the lights in front of the house.

    Cosy little house with a beautiful view. Good for a few days in this area. We could see the northern lights from there twice in September 🤩

    The only bed is a loft bed accessed by a steep ladder. It is hard to get up and down from, especially for an older or taller person

    Be aware the hot water tank has limited volume, don’t spend long time in shower…water will get cold at the end :(:( And the bed is in the attic, I would say probably more suitable if you are travelling alone

    Very cozy place, small but well equipped, great location, you can walk up to the LP cover viewpoint, and about 10 mins drive to Reine, very nice in total

    A tiny holiday house that is perfectly situated on an island with the most stunning views of the surrounding mountains and sea. It was tiny as advertised but it was so comfortable and cozy we would have stayed for a couple of more days if only our itinerary wasn't set already. We will definitely book this accommodation again on our next holiday in the summertime. Can't wait to book it again.

    It's bit cold inside if I don't use the blanket provided. The water went cold during the last few minutes of the showering on the second day. (But I didn't contact the owners.)

    Super nice location with one good restaurant within 5min walk. It's a bit far from Reine without a car, but personally I enjoy the walking back and forth so much (and bus stop is closy by also), and the surrounding is more calm without disturbance with extremely nice view (better than from Reine island in my opinion). The villa is cozy and well-equipped for long stay. I enjoyed it so much just looking out from the window during the heavy storm. The villa owners are really kind and helpful. Thanks to their useful advice, I managed to move around with crampons or to continue my journey in the last minute instead of getting stuck when the bus got canceled due to the storm. And even their dog is so smart and warm-hearted, who guided me down the hill when the road got too slippery! :)

    A chair to sit outside would be nice!

    Communication with Marta was super easy. The name « MINI » villa could not be more true. Everything is super small in there but so charming. I would suggest having a car because there is not a lot that you can easily reach by walk. Bed was comfy. I even had the chance to see northern lights from the balcony! Wow!

    The hot water only last 5 minutes before shutting off. So you need to shower fast!

    The property is in the most amazing location. It is between Hamnoy and Sakrisoy. We woke up every morning with beautiful views of the two islands. We even saw the aurora from the back yard!

    An extra couple of hooks or a retracting clothes line in the bathroom to help dry damp things would be helpful and a toaster, which might have been there but we didn’t find one.. But those are small things.

    Everything! Hosts had excellent communication and were extremely helpful. The property has the most spectacular view. In a little wild wind we felt so safe and cosy. We used the cooking facilities which were useful. The heated bathroom floor was lovely. The comfortable recliner rocking chairs were perfect. The ladder up and down to the bed needed some careful footing, but once tucked up in bed, very comfortable. Small, cost and perfectly formed. Thank you for a most beautiful stay.
