Hotel Vos

Loved hotel Vos! A hotel where each room feels like your own little haven. They have a hot tub and an amazing buffet in the morning. Staff are also really nice! Also an amazing place to see the northern lights as it’s so dark!

Pulling into what initially looks like a farm, we were pleasantly surprised to find a truly hidden gem. The exterior may be unassuming, but the rooms are clean, sleek, and thoughtfully designed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, offering a great night’s sleep, and the shower was gloriously warm — just what you need after a long day. Though we didn’t use the hot tub ourselves, we saw other guests enjoying it and it added to the cozy, relaxing atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. This place is a perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort — a true hidden gem that we’re glad we found.

We originally booked a stay through Airbnb at “Hotel Vos” but soon received an email stating that the business had been sold and we were offered to be rebooked at “Homestay Vos.” After looking it up, we agreed to the rebooking, as the hotel seemed nice. Upon arrival at “Hotel Vos,” however, there was no one present. Despite trying to contact them the day before to ask about kitchen facilities at the Homestay, we received no response. It turned out that “Homestay Vos” is actually a staff accommodation for the hotel, with empty rooms being rented out via Airbnb. While the room itself was fine, the kitchen, bathroom, and common areas were not clean and didn’t meet the standards one would expect from a guesthouse. It was clear that hotel staff lived there, and there was no interaction or welcome from anyone. We decided to cancel our stay and contacted Airbnb for a refund, which we received. The host even offered a cancellation right away. Strangely enough, employees confirmed that this happens regularly, with the host claiming the business is sold and offering rebookings to this “Homestay,” which is simply a staff house. While renting out empty rooms isn’t inherently wrong, the host should be transparent. The whole setup seems like a scam, and I hope Airbnb takes action to prevent others from going through the same experience. Attached are some pictures showing the actual state of the “Homestay.”
