The Barö

We loved the location and the hits were very cute in the nature

The price for what it is - they want to be high end lixury but somethings fall short

The site. The restaurant is top notch and accommodates allergies. The melon trout salad was like fireworks in my mouth. Excellent lamb. The view. The sauna. The swimming, the ferry. THE JACUZZI! The See’s cedar orange soap. Messi did it ALL! She gracefully balanced all the many functions she had to perform for the guests.

Charging me more for my pet allergies when booking said there were 4 rooms available at the lowest price point. When I booked my room on booking the night before my arrival booking said there were 4 rooms available and when I wrote that I had an allergy to dogs and cats and I would need the room professionally steam cleaned if an animal had stayed in it before me I had a response that it would be possible to accommodate. I decided to arrive to Barö a day earlier because on booking it said there were again 4 rooms available. I called to confirm because booking would not let me book the hotel since I had already booked another hotel for that same evening which I was having an allergic reaction to the pet dander. Moa texted me it would be possible but I would have to move into a higher category price point because it was the only room without pets. Lack of INDOOR lounge space in the rooms and on the property. I was surprised for such a pricey restaurant and hotel that there was such minimal indoor lounge space and minimal staff. for example the hotel reception functioned as the restaurant servers. For the hotel square meters I was disappointed there were no designated communal lounge areas and no designated communal work areas. « The nest » was a room constantly transformed into a large conference room or dining room but was rarely free for guests to lounge in because it was booked. Of course great for the income of the hotel but not great for the guests overall experience. It particularly became problematic because there is no real work space in the room and there was no where to go to use a table indoors out of the wind. One day at 11h Moa said I could work outside which was FREEZING because she was setting up for lunch and when I came back at 12h no tables had been set and no one was eating lunch except me. Tiny rooms large terraces when it is too cold to use the outdoor space it is quite frustrating.

Het prachtig aangelegde terrein, de architectuur, de houten vlonders, in de natuurlijke omgeving. Het uitzicht vanuit je bed. Kwalitatief goed restaurant.

De grootte van de kamers. Je kon je spullen (koffers bv) echt niet goed kwijt. Het licht. Sfeervol, maar echt TE donker! Het gebrek aan uitleg. Bv de airco vergde echt een specifieke gebruiksaanwijzing. Wij moesten zelf actief gaan vragen hoe het werkte. Veel mensen doen dat ws. dan maar niet. Het feit dat je je koffers niet een kunt afzetten met de auto. De onmogelijke saunatijd (althans de gratis sessie, het alternatief was (veel) extra betalen. De kleine porties in het restaurant. Je moest wel 4 gangen nemen om een beetje gevuld te raken (waarmee ook dit nogal duur uitpakt)

The location and scenery is stunning. I do recommend going when it's not too cold in order to enjoy the facility and neighboring islands. The style pf the hotel was very sleek and minimal in a nordic way which was nice.

In terms of services I believe they still have some room for development in that area. When we arrived there was no one to receive us, the receptionist was cleaning the Sauna. And there was no bellboy to help with the bags. In terms of food, the breakfast and restaurant menu is very limited.
