Solneset Farm Hotel

Fantastic working farm and a lovely couple that own it. Would 100% recommend this even for a one or two night stay I cannot wait until I am in this area again so I can stay here. The views here are amazing, the rooms are cosy and the beds are the most comfortable beds I've slept in after 20+ years of travel. It also contains a sauna which is amazing for the price you can stay here for.

Absolutely loved our stay! Good communication with the host from the beginning and throughout. Farm is in a nice secluded place, surrounded by mountains and has a lake in front of it. Stunning scenery! Can get really quiet and peaceful at night. Farm itself is really charismatic and well decorated inside. Having a modern look whilst retaining a farm feeling. There are some animals at the farm with which you can interact with. Some you can even see through a window in the reception/communal area. Rooms are cosy, comfortable and offer a great view of the mountains. There's a sauna which can be accessed at any time and a kitchen area if you want to cook your own meals.

There is no public kitchen in the entire building, not even a microwave. Five room renters have to share one bathroom. There is no view and no private beach, despite being advertised. When I questioned why these amenities were advertised falsely, the owner became extremely agitated. He immediately asked us to leave and threw our suitcases from our second-floor room to the downstairs. When he saw me trying to call the police, he physically assaulted me, even though I am a 66-year-old woman. Additionally, when he noticed my husband attempting to use his cellphone, he assaulted my husband severely and confiscated his phone. My husband is 74 years old. Following this, he pushed my husband down a steep flight of stairs and forced him into an unknown location. I sought refuge in the next room and locked the door, feeling very unsafe. Fortunately, a kind Norwegian girl from the adjacent room helped me call the police. The police arrived promptly, documented the situation, and took photographs. They informed us that they would soon press charges against the owner for his violent actions. We decided to leave the property around 8:00 PM in search of another place to stay for the night. The owner insisted that we would not receive any refund if we left. This is not a fictional account; it is entirely true. These distressing events occurred on September 6th, 2023.

Perfect place to relax & recharge with easy access to Bergen city. Cosy rooms with charming living & kitchen spaces. Lovely, clean, modern & rustic decor was warm & inviting. The owner and staff were friendly, welcoming and always very helpful with any questions I had. Beautiful hiking & nature within walking distance - I hope to visit again soon!

I'm giving only 5 stars, because it's the maximum, but it is above. It's so far, one of the best stays I ever had. The comfortability, location, help provided, hosting, facilities,... Couples, families, solo,..it's simply a spectacular place to stay. My wife and I had terrific experience here. Full of calm, local shops around, nice trekking sites very close. If you are thinking to stay here, do not waste time thinking more. Just do it! Thanks Frode for everything. Pilar&Jorge
