The location, the cabin, the available facilities and things we could use (fishing rods, bicycles, toiletries), it was all amazing! The host was also very welcoming and encouraged us to use the fishing rods, even helped us find our way up one of the mountains nearby! The area is super secluded, so if that's something you enjoy I totally recommend this place!

The location is perfect for someone who is looking for some peace away from the crowds.. Beautiful views around, house with the history. Veru cosy and homely. Very well stocked kitchen, very cosy living area, still showing some history... I wish we stayed there longer, but it also provides wonderful closeness to the glacier route, allowing you to be there among the first explorers on the route, before all the tourist busses come in. Loved out stay. Pictures on Booking.com doesn't do the place justice, as it looks in real lofe much better! Would definitely advose as a good stop on the route or even to spend couple of days exploring the surroundings!

Location and breakfast

Some of the best staff I have ever met at a hotel. The location is great. Very idyllic. I like that it was mostly skiers who stayed there.

The tiny village of Jondal is one of the beautiful secret jewels of "authentic Norway." It is also a gateway to the unforgettable Folgefonna National Park, & home of the locally owned company which provides guides and gear for the Blue Ice Glacier Hike, glacier lake kayaking, etc. Those who appreciate Ecotourism will be thrilled to discover this destination. Our hosts have set up the historic Hotel Jondal with all this in mind. Accommodations are pragmatic and clean (similar to a "Pension"); they upgraded our family to one of the "apartments" in the new building, which can sleep up to 6, including bunk beds, a small double bed, and sofa bed. A lovely hot breakfast is included in the price. The small but well stocked kitchen allowed us to prepare other meals if desired; the Coop supermarket is a 2 minute walk away. We accessed this town by a gorgeous road on the local Skyss bus, Bergen to Jondal, including ferry, cost only about 750 NOK pp. The people in Jondal were amazing, the Juklafjord Cafe (the historic school building) a delightful place to relax, the Tourism office agent went above and beyond. In summer there is a bus ascending the mountain. Altogether we loved our charming rustic/historic accommodations, & were sad to leave. We loved everything! American guests should note that in Europe, the bunk beds can be narrower than a twin bed, which is the case here (as in many "camping type" destinations across the pond). Also note the bus that takes you from Jondal up to the glacier only runs during the summer season; if you have no car, a taxi is available for the approx 40 min drive up (you will want to stop and take pictures... With no stops it's 30 min) but must be prearranged in advance (the Tourist office can help).

The beds were comfortable and the rooms were quite large. They have their own charging stations for the guests, which was convenient for us.

this is really a charming place :) it has all facilities one can really wish for - pool (inside/outside), billiard, various hidden/private rooms for chatting, sauna, tennis court, ping pong, ... direct access to the fjords (people swum in it) cozy room lovely views from the restaurant nice breakfast selection (coffee could have tasted better :( - coffee_lovers_here ) spacious and modern bathroom

Room in the older part of the hotel was very cute and comfortable with an updated bathroom. View off our deck was lovely

The restaurant is excellent but there is a pre-set menu each night and no other dining options.
