Independent - accommodation in Kivik

The good: best breakfast at any stay ever, real Canadian maple syrup, real quality bacon, super high quality food. The view and surroundings were amazing. Can't comment on the spa as we didn't use it. The bad: I got a splinter in my foot from the floor in the room, staff didn't seem to care. Too many lights in bedroom you couldn't turn off or cover. Thermostat didn't seem to function properly at all and lit up when the lights went off (and it's next to the bed). Outdoor light always on and can't be turned off. No comfortable chairs or couch, and the kitchen chairs are rippled hard wood, like a ruffled potato chip and as uncomfortable as you would imagine. There was a kitchen, but no dishes or supplies and the front desk wouldn't provide us with anything, so don't expect to be able to use anything other than the microwave and the mini fridge. There is a washer/dryer which can be seen in the pictures, but apparently you aren't allowed to use it. The units are actually some sort of timeshare or they have owners, which is why you can't use the extra stuff shown, which was confusing and disappointing. The light switches are a disaster, they are all over the place and totally random in how they work, which will turn on nothing or everything, and they light up in the dark. The towels were so rough, like they have never been replaced/refreshed. We were looking forward to this place the most in our vacation and it ended up being the worst, we are glad we only booked one night.

Vi fick ett varmt bemötande av den trevliga receptionisten som uppgraderat vårt rum åt oss, överlag fantastisk service från all personal vi mötte. Hotellet ligger magiskt vackert på en höjd med utsikt över havet, och hotellet i sig var supermysigt och vackert inrett. Frukosten var superb! Definitivt ett ställe att rekommendera!

This is a nice property in a beautiful location. The rooms are simple, but comfortable. I really loved that breakfast was served on the innkeeper’s handmade plates and bowls. She has a gallery where you can buy her pottery.
