“Beautiful, quirky, soulful place to stay that you’ll remember forever!”
Absolutely loved this quirky and thoughtful place. To top it all we were treated to a spectacular show of the northern lights (which someone in another bus knocked on our door to tell us about!). This place has soul and we loved it x

Do not go there. I though it will be fun to sleep in place like that, but this was a nightmare. Cracked window, dirty and really old sits furniture, dirty dishes and the main problem - the second bed is not safe at all

The location is good, but not very quiet, as road #1 is in close approximity. The tiny place of bus converted to room is designed with very high feeling of understanding about ergonomics and comfort.

Outstanding stay in the one room bus with enough space for 3 adults, 2 children, luggage and meal essentials, surprisingly. We went to bed and woke up with the absolutely stunning view to Mount esja.

“Beautiful location with a charming setting!”
Beautiful location with a really lovely setting, especially for enjoying breakfast, dinner. The radiator didn’t work very well, but luckily there was an additional heater in the room. When you heat the place, condensation starts dripping from the windows. One window doesn’t have a blackout curtain, which can be a bit annoying in June when it stays light almost all night. The toilet and shower are warm, well-maintained, and clean. Expect to be woken up by a rooster around 5:30 AM, which can actually be a good thing if you want to make the most of your day.

“Amazing glamping site”
The accommodation is in a beautiful location, close to the main road but hidden behind trees with a magnificent view to the hills. There is a small kitchen but well equipped and for one night this is absolutely amazing accommodation in a non-traditional bus. Toilets and showers are in a nearby building that is well heated and there were also hamacas in the trees, but it was slightly raining so we didn't try them.

“Seems lovely, but has bed bugs. Would not recommend.”
It’s a beautiful location and they’ve transformed the bus into lovely and cosy little huts. But unfortunately they have bed bugs. And I now have a very, very itchy body.
