Visby Gustavsvik

Service-minded staff but horrible cabins. Couldn’t stay there due to the mold smell. The smell were so horrible that we were not able to stay inside the room more than ten minutea before getting a headache and feeling sore in the throat.

I stayed in both a hotel rooms & a self-catering apartment. The outdoor areas are great, & the breakfast is good (if your room includes it). But they provide the absolute minimum: sometimes less than that. The apartment did not even have soap!! (I travel a LOT, in many countries, & have NEVER seen anywhere which isn't a crappy budget hostel which doesn't even provide soap!) The rate didn't include sheets or towels - those cost extra - and even then, they don't put them on the bed for you, you have to do that yourself(!) The apartment kitchen had NOTHING - no tea/ coffee, not even herbs or salt. Many self-catering places (incl one I had elsewhere in Sweden): if guests leave herbs, pasta, oil etc., they leave those for the next guests so they have something. Many provide basics like oil. Even the hotel rooms have no tea / coffee / milk, ie, nothing that a guest can use the kettle for. My rooms had no black-out curtains. They don't allow cancelations at all. That is mean, b/c people make mistakes & plans change. The electrical sockets are in silly places. In all rooms, you have to put the kettle on the floor to boil it(!) - which isn't safe if there are children. The cord isn't long enough to reach any other socket. In the apartment, there us nowhere to plug in a phone overnight near the bed (eg, if you are also using it as an alarm). I felt that it's happy to take your money but does as little as possible for it. I wrote to them to tell them all this, and got a silly response.
