Solneset Farm Hotel

After walking around Oslo and a long train ride to Bergen this was the perfect place to explore the area, both Bergen and the countryside. The owner is super helpful and will give lots of good ideas for day trips. Even though I was a solo traveler this place is ideal for groups, with a shared common room and kitchen area.

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.

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.

Some friend (USA) and I (Brit) stayed here for a few nights and were pleasantly surprised. Great facilities and extremely helpful and knowledgeable host.(info on local hikes and the city of Bergen) Nice little bar and some great plates from the restaurant too. Showers were always hot and never had to wait too long. Small charge for shuttle bus to and from Bergen. Highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer

Incredible location, lovely animals, easy access into Bergen and hiking trails. The woman that took care of us was so kind and helpful we really appreciated everything she did to make our stay more enjoyable! (Eggs available for purchase are delicious!)

We stayed 3 nights in the farm, all was perfect ! There is a large living room and a kitchen where you can cook, meeting other travellers. Bathrooms are very clean and there is a sauna. The owner was very friendly and generous. We absolutely recommend it if you want to stay in the region of Bergen !
