Lunheim in Geiranger

Short version: I asked a question and the owner cancelled my booking. Long version: I booked and fully paid for this accommodation. One month out from my stay, I received an email requesting approval for authorisation and/or deposit, otherwise my booking would be cancelled. I was unsure what was required so I asked for clarification. The owner appeared to take offence at this ("you do not answer the question you merely reply with another question") and immediately cancelled my booking. He claimed that I did not approve of the authorisation/deposit. At no point did I ever state that I did not approve. In fact, all I had done at that point was ask for clarification. I attempted to rectify any possible misunderstandings. However, it became clear that he simply found it unacceptable that I had asked a question so decided to cancel my booking. It was honestly quite baffling. I would suggest that you consider the risk of a sudden cancellation if you book this accommodation.

The views from this guest house are spectacular. Our host, Ian, was attentive, informative, and helpful in every way. The room was very comfortable and well-furnished. There was some confusion in finding the guest house--I forgot to write down the phone number to contact our host--but staff at the nearby hotel helped us find our host. The guest house is located 3 km from Geiranger up a very steep hillside, so with our heavy luggage, it was necessary to have transportation, since we didn't have a car. Some of the statements on the ********** website about this property are misleading. There is no spa, and there is no restaurant. The restaurant is located in the nearby hotel, and our host has an arrangement with this hotel to serve breakfasts there. The guest house has a well-equipped kitchen, and guests are encouraged to prepare their own meals. There is no microwave oven, so preparing meals required more effort than we were inclined to do. Again, I want to emphasize that the charm of the guest house, the location and views, and Ian, the very accommodating host, made this a truly special place to stay.

Exceptionally clean and well equipped, fabulous unsurpassed views of Geiranger fjord and town from large kitchen windows. Host was very communicative regarding road conditions in and around the area including up to date closures of impassable roads. Personal experience, beats large impersonal hotel any day!

Super 2 night stay. Great location above the town with a very attentive host who loaned us a map, which helped with a very nice walk to a nearby waterfall. There’s also a path almost straight down from the accommodation into the town, that avoids the twisty road. The room was lovely and with relaxing chairs to make it a very comfortable stay if we just wanted to chill. The residents’ kitchen is also a very good provision; we self catered both nights quite unexpectedly on the basis of it. Breakfast is taken at the next door hotel and is very good. All in all a super experience.

The place is one of the best places we've had in Norway. Very nice room with a super comfortable bed. Everything was very clean, and the bathroom was also very comfortable. The shared kitchen is well executed - every room has its own space, tools, cutlery, corner of the fridge and so on. This makes using the kitchen still feel pretty private. Also the view from the sitting area is amazing! The host, is proactively helpful. He is a great source for information and tips about the area. Good spacious space for parking.

Stunning views, good location.
