Room was quite small and stuffy, improved when windows opened and door was pinned back. Very thick and heavy duvets for July. Lots (and lots) of firedoors to struggle through with your luggage but part of the nature of the building. Thin walls and bangng doors led to a broken sleep.

Felt privileged to be able to stay in such a beautiful historic haa. Setting amazing and lovely to see the trees in the grounds. Large and spacious communal rooms. Lovely staff. Good breakfast. We didn't need the full works but they were happy to accommodate us with porridge and poached eggs. Late check out at midday was a relief. Would recommend and return.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting- everywhere there was something interesting to see. The staff were particularly good. The breakfast was so nicely presented as well as being delicious. I was working, but sitting for a pre-prandial drink in the Long Room was so relaxing that it felt as though I were on holiday for one night. The shower room was a wee bit claustrophobic, but I'm not going to put that as a "didn't like" because overall the room was very pretty and, more to the point, the shower was intuitive and worked well.

Bathroom was a bit cramped. It had excellent facilities, including a great shower, but was tight on space.

Fantastic location and impressive garden space. The service was first rate and all staff went out of their way to help and advise. The lounge, in particular, was a wonderful space for pre-dinner drinks or quiet reading.

We liked everything about this place!

A charming historic building, with beautifully kept gardens, in a stunning setting with views across the voe. All of which pale into insignificance against the stellar performance of the staff here. These friendly and efficient people make this hotel a welcoming, comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The food is wholesome, delicious, served well and without fuss. You must try the scones!

Great hotel in great setting, the beds weren't the most comfortable and it's a bit tired in places, but the food is very tasty and generous, staff are friendly and knowledgeable about locally sourced food and drink. I wouldn't hesitate at booking this hotel again if visiting Shetland.

Excellent staff. Breakfasts and dinners in the restaurant were also excellent with a good choice of dishes. Hotel quirky with interesting architecture. Room very comfortable.

Busta is a lovely quaint hotel in Shetland. The staff were lovely and accommodating, the bed was super comfortable and the sheets super soft. The loo was super clean too. Breakfast was included and for a small hotel in mainland Shetland I could not have asked for more. The main lounge was a treat for a bit of silent reading.

On the full breakfast, I felt sausages let it down, tasted cheap, they were ok, but nothing more , there is excellent butchers in Shetland who would have better sausages.

Hadn't stayed for a while at busta, felt it had gone down hill a bit, but what a difference, was excellent, food was delicious.

Large and comfortable bed, beautiful rooms. Staff were all lovely and attentive, allowed us to check in early. Excellent and varied breakfast and evening meals. Couldn't recommend more. Maybe not the best place for anyone with mobility issues however, as the bathroom is very small and getting into the bath/shower requires stepping over/around the toilet.

It was atmospheric, the room was lovely. We had a family room although we were just a couple, it was really nice though. The Long Room is a very nice place to have a drink before and/or after your meal, it would have been nicer if the fire had been on. The breakfast was amazing, the evening meal was fine I have eaten here before though and the evening meal was much better on that occasion. The staff, although young, were lovely and attentive, very polite.

Lovely renovation. Super breakfast and comfortable bedding. The staff were friendly and attentive. Every time we come, we see an improvement and we think the staff are doing a wonderful job.

The grounds really need some attention. Although our room had a sea view it was very limited due to the trees having been allowed to grow without pruning. It would be a glorious garden but it seems that there aren’t sufficient funds for maintenance.

Breakfast was superb - especially the porridge and the smoked haddock with poached eggs. Lovely lounge area. Welcoming, friendly staff.
