    I think that the access to coffee and tea facilities would be nice. We were not supposed to touch anything in the kitchen.

    Sjövillan is a b&b situated on the island of Rindö just next to the ferry going way and back to Vaxholm. It’s a lovely place , the rooms are small but very comfortable. Except for the young lady at breakfast time, who was very nice, there is no human contact . The breakfast buffet was a good choice of the staples of cold food. It’s a very nice stop for islands’ hopping.

    The walls are really thin so you can hear even just closing a door next to you. The common toilet could have at least one shared towel for that money to dry our hands.

    Lovely place - the location is really nice with the ferry right under the house. Breakfast with the view of the castle is a nice touch. Room and common space is clean and neat. We were able to leave our bags there after check out so after a day of exploring the island we could return and refresh before chasing the boat to Stockholm which we really appreciate!

    Was a bit noisy night time as there may be a party somewhere but I dont think it is the usual vibe.

    I think location was great in terms of access to Vaxholm. We had the room with the Kastellet view which was amazing to wake up to in the morning. I also appreciated overall cleanness and breakfast, which was simple but of good quality food.

    The doors do slam, and the walls are a little thin, however it is an old building!

    The location is excellent, right next to the ferry (steep but short climb up - be aware), which is regular into Vaxholm, but watch the timeings later in the evening. We loved the breakfast - lots to choose from, and always plenty to eat. The rooms were small, but very comfortable. Some reviews have been negative about the rooms, however for the price, the spaces are excellent. As the main recreationa nd dining area is shared, it is also very sociable.

    I got a lot of bird flea bites and possibly also a bite from another bug during night. at least I found one in my bed. And a very large spider in the accommodation. otherwise it would have been a nice place. we had to leave two days earlier because of the bites. I wish these could be taken into account/reimbursed.

    The Location was nice.

    7 rooms sharing 3 showers and toilets with a TV in the leaving room. The room was quite small but comfortable.

    Beautiful little cabin next to the ferry and below the Castle in Rindö. The included breakfast was great. The pizzeria next door is really good 👍. Having a parking was also highly appreciated.

    A few more (comfortable) chairs would be good. So would an extra bathroom (or at least toilet). The path up from the parking area could be made easier/better maintained, not least for people with walking difficulties or heavy luggage.

    Lina was a superb breakfast hostess, helpful far beyond 'duty'; and the range of products good - though a few more without sugar would have been appreciated! Perfect location.

    I was quite disappointed seeing the excellent reviews on booking... It's quite hard to drag your suit case (no pavement then stairs) and once there you don't feel very welcome, more like a potential trouble: not allowed to use the kitchen only meant for staff, poor sound insulation so you're more or less asked not to go to the loo at night. I understand that lack of noise insulation is an issue but being threatened of costs if noise happened was a bit too much (especially when it includes the loo). The breakfast is ok but specially vegan friendly.

    The room was nice and clean, view from the terrasse on Vaxholm was nice but our room was on a grass slope.

    There were no towels in the bathrooms, and no soap or shampoo in the shower. We’d like to have had somewhere to hang the wet towels in the room.

    The ferry runs all night and can be heard from the Seaview rooms but that was part of the atmosphere and not a big problem.

    Easy access to the free ferry from Vaxholm and the rest of the island. Good walking and cycling in the area and several forts to visit. Pizza restaurant nearby. There was only one other room occupied when we stayed so sharing the bathrooms was not a problem. Good showers. Attractive communal area. Excellent breakfast. Simple, comfortable, semi-communal living with privacy when you want it. Very easy booking and check in. One hour ferry ride from central Stockholm. An interesting and peaceful island.
