Bente was a fantastic host. We had a great weekend in Vestby/Hvisten close to Oslo. Bente gave us a warm welcome and her "family" made our stay very unique. She helped us to organize everything and gave valuable tipps & tricks regarding several trips. We can highly recommend Bente's place!

A Norwegian gem. Very cool accommodations, and perfect hosts. Beautiful surroundings. A must go to place if you are visiting in the area.

Wonderful it was. We could only stay for one night. But the place was so warm and cozy. As everyone else said, we slept like a baby. Was just great. :)

We had a pretty magical weekend with Bente. We felt immediately welcomed as part of her family, and what we'll take away most is the fascinating and hilarious conversations we had together. That, and the delicious home-cooked food (freshly baked croissants and homemade strawberry juice for breakfast!), and the meticulous care Bente has taken into renovating and decorating the space. Hospitality is a passion project for her and her family and it really shows through. Even though lounging by our pink firetruck all weekend would have been more than vacation enough, the beach was also less than 10 minutes' walk away and the water was perfect for a swim. There are also hiking trails and sculpture parks to take in. A restful and memorable weekend that we've been bragging about to our friends ever since!

Staying with Bente was a great experience - she is so friendly and welcoming and very direct but relaxed at the same time. The description of the accomodation is very accurate it is a PINK FIRE TRUCK plonked in her garden with the other collection of trucks and vans and caravans, which is located just outside a beautiful harbourside village. The Fire Truck is very very comfortable but maybe not to everyone's taste - Wifi really fast - bathroom just metres away and perfect. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and a great social event - Bente is a bohemian in the best sense - a great host, great cook and there was lots of chat and laughter. A perfect scandanavian stopover!

We had a really nice stay at Bente's green camping trailer. It was very suitable for two people and a dog. If you go to Oslo, but also want to see the countryside, this is the place to go. You will get interesting company, great food and a walking distance to the beautiful Oslofjord. Extra thanks for the rides and for cooking vegetarian food for us! Hannu, Annika & Vinni

Staying with Bente in the pink fire truck was by far the coolest experience we have had travelling anywhere! We had so much fun visiting with Bente and everyone else in the house, learning everything there is to know about Norwegian history, and eating the most incredible, fresh food that Bente makes from scratch. (Including gluten and dairy-free options for anyone with dietary restrictions). Her food is wonderful and so is her hospitality - Bente made us feel right at home, and told us so much about the country and surrounding area, including a beautiful little town that we explored. The van itself was adorable! Clean, warm, and beautifully decorated, and included a dashboard with the keys still in the ignition! For the amount of food, fun, and amazing accommodation, it is incredibly cheap as well (and not just for Norway!) We really can't wait till we can come back and visit again! Thanks so much for an amazing stay :)

We had a lovely stay at Bentes. Everything was very cosy and authentic - almost like visiting relatives! Her homecooked meals are also recommendable.

Sølvi is a great woman, positive and had with me a great hospitality even in I arrived in late evening. The apartment is very nice with a balcony where is very nice to drink a beer. She made also a very tasty home made bread for breakfast. The place is very near to rygge airport. Arrivederci!

Silvie's generosity self! On offer were to fetch us and our car in Son and guide us to the apartment;. Talk about super service! And frukost Surely included also, we discovered, and it tasted heavenly good! :-)

Sølvi is a very sweet host and a very elegant woman with whom you can talk picevolmente. I met her at the Oslo station to get together at home, I immediately felt at ease. It 'been very kind to accompany me to visit the beautiful village of Son overlooking a fjord. The house is beautiful, tastefully decorated, bright, clean, comfortable and located in a very quiet area that allows you to rest well at night. I absolutely recommend this room to all those who want to visit the area of Oslo and a short distance from Rygge Airport.

Solvi was a fantastic host. She's went above and beyond normal hosting responsibilities which really helped us out - picking us up at the airport, showing us her town, allowing us to store our bags while touring Oslo. The home is very convenient from Rygge airport. This made our late arrival easy. Our trip to Oslo the next morning was simple and quick as well. The room was incredibly comfortable. She also had some breakfast for us in the morning. I highly recommend staying with Solvi!

We spent a wonderful weekend at Sølvi's place. She is a really lovely host and made our stay just perfect. She provided us with helpful recommendations, drove us to the nicest places in the surrounding area and prepared delicious food. We enjoyed the conversations with her and got an insight in the Norwegian way of life!!! :-)

It was very comfy place, and easy to find~sølvi was also a nice landlord, I'm satisfied with my stay!

Solvi was an amazing host, so friendly, helpful and she made us really welcome from the moment we met her. Her apartment was lovely, just as described and very comfortable. I cannot recommend highly enough. Son in the sunshine was truly magnificent and the apartment was easily placed for some nice walks. A wonderful relaxing end to our visit to Norway. Thank you so much Solvi for sharing so much with us. We hope to return and experience winter in Son.

Sølvi was a great host. She picked us up at Rygge airport at 23.05 and drove us at her home. We stayed just for one night, but it was very comfortable. Her house is very cozy and in a small cute village, Son. She's been very kind to us. RECOMMENDED!

We had a very pleasant stay at Christina's and Dridrik's (and Ruffen). The cottage is very charming and containing all the necessities. The location is just perfect, a few min by walk from the marina and the heart of Son. Christina has been very helpful and sweet to give us information and advices. They made us feel very welcome and were unexpectingly generous. We even experienced unforgettable boat trips :-). We would recommend this place without hesitation. Thanks for such a nice stay ! Patricia & Ole

My daughter (9 years) and I had a lovely stay with Christina. The accomodation was very charming and comfortable and Christina was helpsome, giving us great tips on what to do and how. We will love to come back to this wonderful place. We enjoyed the forest right behind the house!

Great host closet with a small paradise which they rented out to us. Enjoy your morning coffee on the patio facing the house - completely secluded and sunny. Perfect start to the day:-) Otherwise so we met many good people at Son Brygge (URL HIDDEN) ate great fish meals in the same place. (URL HIDDEN) is the place for the great recipes. Both host cabinets and Son recommended.

The host was very welcoming, gave us the necessary information and to place tips on recreation areas, restaurants, etc.

Thank you for excellent service!

Nice small apartment situated in a village on a fjord, beautiful area. We were greeted warmly, Christina and her husband are very available. The chalet is in compliance with photos, cozy and well equipped. The bathroom is spacious, located in the cottage, we must go out and down a few steps to reach it. The environment is fantastic. I highly recommend !

It was good, a place to stay and sleep when visiting family over Christmas in Son.

Christina was a brilliant host. She was accommodating to our late arrival, she left much appreciated snacks and when we met her she made us feel unbelievably welcome. The apartment/annex was clean and had an endearing homeliness with the perfect amount of privacy. Christina took us to the top of her garden to show us the beautiful picturesque views of Son, which was an added bonus. I would recommend anyone to stay here given the chance.

My husband and I rented the 2nd floor. In the cozy house of Thomas last weekend in June. An old, idyllic and charming house with a fantastic plant erik garden! Cozy with breakfast in the sun on the veranda. The location is perfect in the heart of the Son, with short distance to the boat pier, shops and great places to swim / hiking. Cozy eateries in the city, where El Toro recommended for its tapas. We slept on the 2nd floor. in the house and had no problems sharing bathrooms and kitchens in 1.etg. with the landlord. We experienced Thomas as a very pleasant, welcoming and knowledgeable man. We experienced the visit as orderly, honest, clean and safe. Can heartily recommend!

Hyggelog and welcoming, neat and orderly.

Did not host personally when we only used the place to overnight but had good contact on mail and phone before your stay. The place was as described in the advertisement. Belliggenheten is perfect with a 5 min walk to the center of Son

If you just want to relax and unwind, then Thomas is the ideal partner Airbnb. In the garden you can comfortably enjoy your coffee in the morning and in the evening on the terrace, the evening sun with a glass of wine (in respect Sundays you can only buy beer). With Thomas you can talk about interesting topics and he also has good tips for activities in Sundays. For sailors, fisherman, hiker or just nature lovers, it is here really a dream. If you want to be but sometimes on their own, you can move back in the cozy little bedroom. The house is located in the village and it has here really everything you need. But if something is missing, you're in an hour by train in Oslo.Wir had 5 nights here, have felt very comfortable and would not hesitate to come back. Thanks Thomas!

Our first encounter with Airbnb hire was exceptional :) Landlord Thomas was there when we arrived and told us everything we needed to know to have a pleasant stay. The place was just as cozy as it looked at the pictures It was a lovely patio that we sat costing us coffee in the morning, while we enjoyed the silence, and the sight of the lovely garden. It was only a few min down to the pier where there were restaurants in a row :) we enjoyed our stay and hope to rent again at this very nice landlord Thomas :)

Thomas was a great host! We only met him briefly, but he was very accommodating and helpful. The space is exactly as described. I would definitely recommend staying here.

I debuted as airbnb user with a night in Thomas's extremely pleasant and charming house. It was easy to find with GPS, and probably would have been just fine if I'd followed directions provided on his profile. I was met at nice view when I arrived just over at 21:30 and got a nice tour of an "easy-liked" guy. Stay more than meet expectations, and I will have no qualms in recommending host of others. It was nice and clean, and everything is desired could was in place. The morning I received a friendly "good morning", accompanied by a good cup of coffee. Host Thomas must certainly be said to have given me a good start to what may well be more airbnb experiences. Thank you :-)

Very nice hosts.

Øjvin is a super good host and you feel very welcome throughout their stay, everything was as promised and my expectation. I highly recommend a visit to Øjvin.

Top hosts. Very hospitable and nice. Nice apartment with great views of Sonsbukten. :-)

The best thing about the apartment is the roof terrace with fantastic views over the harbor. Øivind has provided me his room. He works from home, so he is usually there - but has not yet felt disturbed by my presence. At night photosensitivity a sleep mask is recommended take. Øivind is a very helpful and friendly host.

The apartment is perfectly located in Son. Beautiful patio on the top floor overlooking the harbor. Øivind is welcoming light and talk to and very pleasant host.

Rooms and apartment was great, and with a super roof terrace. The location is absolutely superb, smack in the middle. The host Øyvind is nice guy, very accommodating and bland! We got help to find both nice places to eat and hike, and good information before we came. Highly recommended!

Idyllic, adventurous and mysterious place that is really worth the trip. Bente and Paul were hugely welcoming, full and entertaining! We stayed in the pink fire truck and slept sooo good there. Hvitsten is a lovely place and we had a nice hike down to the beach. Bente made delicious breakfast for us the next morning - even gluten free waffles for me who has celiac disease! All in all a wonderful experience that we recommend strongly to the adventurous.

It was a fun experience to sleep in the turquoise car. Bente and Paul are wonderful welcoming hosts, which is very easy to talk to. To feel at home was no problem. Very nice and well kept grounds and relaxed atmosphere. Recommended!

The van is even more beautiful and cosy than it looks in the pictures. The garden is gorgeous and quiet. Bente is a fantastic host - knowledgeable, engaging, and the best cook in Norway! If you're even looking at her page, do yourself a favour and book it. You won't regret it, and will have memories to last a lifetime. We'll definitely be back, and would recommend it to ANYONE. Thanks Bente!

Bente is a great host, welcomed us into her home like family! We ate very well and could not have been happier! We will be back in the near future! :)

I could not have been more disappointed by this place. With all the lovely review this place got, we were both hoping to find welcoming hosts and a little haven to rest and celebrate our anniversary in. Bente promised to pick us up from the station, then when we arrived she decided not to come! She said there is no dinner served that evening! Breakfast was not served as she slept until 10.30am! And on top of that, the couch in the breadvan was covered in dust and cat pee in which I sat unfortunately! NO HEATING IN 13 DEGREES AT NIGHT, which left both of us sick for a few days after our trip. The internet connection stops at the exit of their house, there is no hotspot in the van itself. Outside it looks amazing, but once you go in...DUST, DIRT, SMELL OF CAT PEE, AND LOTS OF HOLES IN THE VAN FOR ALL THE WIND TO GO THROUGH! We asked Bente to come and see the heating because it wasnt working at all, and she didnt budge off the couch saying it will come on eventually, which unfortunately never happened. I seriously advise anyone that is in their right mind to not go to this place. Maybe she treats other people nicely, but with us, I have never in mu life been treated worse. Breakfast is included in the price, no breakfast was served. They advertise this place as close to a beach - the "beach" is a 5m strip of sand revealed at low tide only - also it is a 25min walk from the van. INTERNET HOT SPOT in the van does not exist. NO HEATING AND IT STINKS! So yes, we decided to leave a day early and pay an extortionate amount of money in Oslo so that we won't freeze again in that van. And on top of everything else, she left us a bad review for not staying on another night in the cold, with no breakfast or dinner. All I can say is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Good luck to the ones deciding to go there!

Bente and Pol welcome you like an old friend they are delighted to see again! Their home, is cosy, full of warmth and with as much companionship as you care for. If you like stories, you will be in heaven; if you want peace and quiet, you will find it outside in the woods or in your 'Wind in the Willows' bedroom. Bente & Pol's generosity and open-heartedness imbue their home with a lovely down-to-earth sense of fun and vitality, matched only by the wonderful food, walks, views, air .... Just book in now and find out for yourself. MC

I could not have asked for a better expierence. Bente and Pal were kind, helpful, encouraging and delightful hosts. I have never been so well fed on healthy and delicious food as when I was staying with Bente and Pal. The pictures do not do the vans justice- they are far more magical and charming than I could have ever imagined. I give my highest recommendation to Bente and Pal, and hope to one day return to this spectacular place.

Bente and Paul are the most wonderful hosts-they really do everything to make their guests feel happy and comfortable and part of the family. The breadvan is so cute and cozy, I found it hard to leave. And tucked away in the woods, I slept deep and satisfying sleeps here. The village is also very pretty, on the water with little parks and wooded paths. Paul took me around to see some other villages in the area which was a fun afternoon outing. A note for food lovers: When first I walked in the door Bente was pulling fresh baked rolls from the oven and had a lobster soup bubbling on the stove. How much better does life get than homemade bread and hot soup? We talked about Norway all afternoon, and had a very Norwegian dinner of cod and potatoes and carrots, and garden-fresh rhubarb crisp. I ended up staying an extra night, which was the fourth of July, and we had an American feast of potato salad and BBQ and a cake decorated with blueberries and strawberries to look like the American flag. She even uses lettuces and herbs from her own garden. This is the best food you will eat in Norway.

We had a fantastic stay at Eva's place, the cabin was cozy, warm and comfortable. I highly recommend staying at Eva's cabin.

Eva's place was nice and lovely! Stayed there with a friend and we both had a great time, loved every bit of the village and our cabin:) She even picked us up from the station so we didn't have to take the bus, looked up the train schedule for and her husband took us to the station, such hospitality! If you like idyllic villages and don't mind taking a walk, have chickens around and meet this kind couple, Eva's place is suitable for you!

It was a real pleasure staying at Eva's ans Hans' lovely little guesthouse! We absolutely enjoyed our short visit and would love to come back! Eva and Hans are really nice hosts, they did everything to make our stay as compfortable as possible. We found little treats like chocolate and fruits in the house, which was really nice and much appreciated :) We would definitely recommend Eva's and Hans' little guesthouse!

the cabin is very cozy and Eva is a lovely host. We enjoyed our stay a lot, even though it was only one night. We recommend this Airbnb.

We spent 3 days at Evas cottage and were very pleased with our stay. The cottage was very charming, cosy, clean, well equipped. The garden and the surroundings, including a couple of hens walking freely about, gave the place a very warm and relaxed atmosphere. Eva was a very friendly host and made us feel very welcome.

A cozy place to retreat to. Well weaned money

We got a clear directions in advance, and it was easy to find. We received a friendly welcome, and the cabin was very nice decorated and everything was clean and neat. The neighborhood is quiet and calm. We were doing well and can imagine to come back another time. Highly recommended!

We had a nice night at Hauger farm. Was greeted by an open house and shown the room. We were three people and the room spartan but clean and fine. We had food with and borrowed house kitchen. Enjoyed the evening outside where we spoke with one of the house temporary residents. We had agreed to Kenneth arranged for breakfast, ended up making it even of the house commodity, however, had Kenneth given message about where things were and he also appeared. Overall we had a good experience and would like to repeat it if we another time came to the area.

Kenneth takes care of trees for a living - that has to say something! He seems reasonable and laid back guy with good sense of humour.

Kenneth is an excellent guest, very nice and funny! It was a very good experience to discover the farm and his animals. You can book with him without hesitation. Just before coming, don't forget to ask him his exact adress.

Not very responsive (no answer in order to prepare our arrivals). It appears that Kenett was sailing. The room and bathroom were not clean. However the farm is beautiful and the area is pleasant. Maybe we were not lucky...

I stayed there for another night - really nice place if the weather is good. nice nature and 4,5 km jogging round (really tough due to the landscape). :)

loved our stay and would definitely come back! not for someone that wants a town atmosphere, but more of a secluded getaway.

All liked it. Quiet, comfortable.

We stayed at Aleksanders charming cabin for a weekend and had a great time. Aleksander stayed in contact throughout has was quick to sort out the small things that popped up during our stay. He is a great host and the cabin is lovely to visit, I would highly recommend to others!

We did not meet Aleksander personally but he was in easy contact by text, email or phone. Always very helpful and prompt to reply to any contact, we were very happy with the service he provided. Directions to the property were clear and easy to follow as was the information provided for key collection. We enjoyed the walks through the woods, which started almost from the door of the cottage.

Lovely stay in the cottage. Very peaceful and a beautiful walk through the forest to Son. Alexander was a great host!

Great cabin, really relaxing , totally manageable without a hire car.

we had a good Time (1week) at Aleksander's cottage. Aleksander is a good host. He asked few times about our stay and If everything is ok!

Once again a hassle to hire Aleksander. Things are as agreed. Can be safely recommended.

Thomas place was super nice, and he is a good host. Son is such a beautiful place!

We - grandmother, mother and two children lived in the great little house of Thomas 4 days at Easter! The house was as described, small but with ample space for the four of us. There is a steep staircase up to the sleeping compartment, but perfectly ok and very charming when one knows about it and get used! The house is like on the pictures and the garden is enough wonderful summer! The location is absolutely perfect, with a few minutes walk to the cafes, the pier and the buzz Son !! Finishing touch by renting this house is the very cute and customizable sociable cat! She was a big hit among us all! We would go back!

We didn't meet Thomas but he was very helpful from a distance with clear instructions for everything. His place was just perfect and impeccable! Son is a beautiful village and Thomas's place was just walking distance to the centre. Would recommend his place without hesitation and would definitely want to stay there again should we visit Norway in the near future.

After a two week trip through Zweden and Norway we decided to stay a few days in Thomas' house at the Oslo Fjord. We had e few perfect days in Son in a nice, cosy, charming and well decorated house. Close to all things you need (supermarket, harbour with restaurants and terasses), with everything you need to make a pleasant stay even if the wheather is not so nice or as it is as you might expect....

We had a lovely weekend at Thomas' house. Really appreciated the unique building with its charming style with wooden floors and oldfashion wooden walls. Neat and modern bathroom, and nice beds outside in the annex. It was really great to be out in the garden. We enjoyed breakfast in the garden one sunny morning, and went down to the small town center for a nice dinner at Sjøboden - we can absolutely reccomend it! Nice cafees, a small park and small charming shops. Big grocery store (Kiwi) just nearby. Our two year old son may have been the reason why we hardly saw the cat during the weekend, but we had a few cuddle moment :-) We will warmly reccomend Thomas' place, and would like to come back one day for another nice retreat weekend.

We spent two days together with our granddaughter in Thomas's cosy little house in Son. It was clean and tidy with a well equipped kitchen and a beautiful garden. Nice bathroom too. Highly recomended! :-) Gitte, Lia & Ole

Thomas' house in Son is fantastic! Perfect AirBnB experience. Gems like these should be kept a secrete, but we're here to share. So, share we will. Highly recommended. Perfect little hide-away in Son.

Excelente casa aconchegante e charmoso, perto das lojas e restaurantes no Filho. Thomas foi rápido para responder a mensagens, e temos ótimas dicas para a nossa estadia, bem como de turismo e explicação das características da casa quando chegamos.

Veldig bra. Det var super. Takk igjen, Arild.
