Guesthouse in Ballstad

This is a room in someone's home rather than a house to yourself: Booking.com files it as a homestay, in a building it dates to 1956, on Jacob Jentofts vei at Ballstad. Kartverket's registered point for the village is 168 m away.

The room runs to 25 m² and is credited with two beds. Its bathroom is private, with a bath as well as a shower, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper. A fridge, an electric kettle and a dining table stand in the room, along with a clothes rack and a drying rack; there is no kitchen on the facility list, so cooking is not part of the arrangement.

WiFi and private parking are free, the garden is what the window looks at, and arrival is possible from 14:00.

Why stay here

It gives you a private bathroom and a door that locks in Ballstad village, in a house where somebody lives — and it scores 8.7 across 31 reviews.

Who it’s for

One or two people passing through who want a bed, a bathroom and a parking space rather than a kitchen and a living room. It is the wrong choice for a family or for self-caterers: no cot, no extra bed and no cooking facilities beyond a kettle and a fridge.

Highlights

  • One 25 m² double room, credited with two beds
  • Private bathroom with a bath and a shower
  • A fridge, kettle and dining table in the room
  • Free private parking and free WiFi
  • Check-in from 14:00
  • In the village at Ballstad, 0.2 km from the centre

Things to consider

There is no kitchen — a fridge, a kettle and a dining table are the extent of it — and no breakfast is listed either. No cot and no extra bed can be added, and pets, smoking and parties are all refused. Arrival runs from 14:00 to 23:00 with your time given in advance, and departure is between 08:00 and 11:00. Booking.com records no sea view; the window looks at the garden. The room is part of an occupied family house, so expect the household to be there.

The accommodation

One double room of 25 m² in a family house built in 1956, credited with two beds and let to two guests, which is the maximum Booking.com publishes for it. The bathroom is private to the room and holds a bath, a shower, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper. Linen is provided. A clothes rack, a drying rack and a socket beside the bed are listed.
