Sognefjord Gjesteheim

10/10 Excellent
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Stay at Sognefjord Gjesteheim – Better Than Any other travel accommodation.! Our stay at Sognefjord Gjesteheim was the absolute highlight of our trip to Norway. We originally booked through Expedia, but the level of hospitality we experienced here completely blew away any other place we have ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. The proprietor, Pablo (sp?), greeted us warmly and took phenomenal care of us throughout our stay. Because we had a very early departure, Pablo went above and beyond by waking up early to cook us a delicious, custom omelet breakfast at 6:30 AM. As if that wasn't enough, he then sat down and played the piano for us, sending us on our way with a beautiful musical memory. You simply cannot find this level of personal touch, genuine care, and warmth in a standard rental. If you are looking for an exceptional, world-class hospitality experience right on the Sognefjord, look no further than Sognefjord Gjesteheim. We cannot recommend Pablo and his property highly enough!"
