The Spa was definitely a bonus. Adrian was so helpful and knowledgable about the area. The large gathering area was a fun place to enjoy a glass of wine after dinner.

Take the fast ferry (4 hours) from Bergen and slow down and enjoy the glorious surroundings. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the quiet. We ate our meals and enjoyed cocktails at the Kviknes Hotel. We slept at the Balestrand Hotel and enjoyed the quiet.CColleenUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town.
Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town. Walking south along Kong Beles Veg for about 2 kilometers affords beautiful views of St. Olaf's church, the picturesque valley, the beach, the hills, and several "Swiss-style" charming old houses. A must-see is Balestrand's little beach and the deep, clear pools beside it where I sat for ages soaking up the sound of the water's tranquil lapping on the rocks and watching fish zip around way below the surface of the crystal-clear water. I even caught people swimming and sunning themselves at midday in late September! There were not many dining options post-tourist-season, but I had the soup at the chocolatery called Holmen within the main triangle of town, and though I found it overpriced (compared to prices in Bergen), it was delicious.

Our family absolutely loved staying at Frydenlund near Balestrand. Everything in the property's information was accurate. Great hosts who helped us when we had some questions, Views are wonderful and several areas in which to relax and enjoy them. Check-in was easy as there was a door code. While we would love to return to this part of Norway we would only do so if we could also stay at Frydenlund.RichardCanada - 10Scored 10
Beautiful surroundings.
Beautiful surroundings. Very fun to travel with a speedboat combined with historical tour. Cider house had delicious food. Highly recommendable. Perfect place for anyone who loves outdoor activities and want to be in a beautiful environment.CecilieNorway - 10Scored 10
Beautiful location and friendly small town.
Beautiful location and friendly small town. Unfortunately it rained quite heavy in September 2019 when we were there so that we couldn't do much biking and hiking as we had anticipated, but there was still enough to do to keep us occupied the day and a half that we spent there. Dinner with a piano concert in the Kviknes Hotel was particularly memorable.

Cute town with a lot packed into a small place.
Cute town with a lot packed into a small place. Walking around town is easy. There are two grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We went to an English Mass at St Olaf's Church too. If we had arrived earlier in the day we might have had time to fish from the shores of the fjord.AmyUnited States of America

- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 8 reviewsEverything! Balestrand is the most beautiful place. And the view from our comfortable and well equipped little cabin was stunning. Inge, our host, was there to welcome us and was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We could not fault our choice of location. The walking is amazing. May is reasonably quiet there, which suited us fine. The weather was incredible. No rain for the entire week. According to Inge, it was the best May he has ever known... he's lived there all his life and he's 69!!!
BarbaraUnited Kingdom - From $159.02 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 467 reviewsThis was a lovely and fun hotel stay for our quick visit in Balestrand. A fjordside room with a balcony is a must! The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere with the games, and light bar area seemed to be the most happening place we found in the whole town. We really enjoyed the hotel appreciated the noon time check out. It looks like the hotel has been undergoing some renovations and refreshing. Our room was in excellent condition and was really clean and spacious.JenniferUnited States of America
- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 276 reviewsWe loved everything about our stay. Our room was lovely, as was our view, even in the rain. We were able to do our laundry. Breakfast was really nice. But our host, Magnar, truly made our stay great! He contacted the car rental for us and even printed maps for the next part of our holiday! The restaurant he recommended was one of the best meals we’ve had. We will be returning for a second stay because we had such a good experience.KathyUnited States of America

The owner was very helpful, he offered to take our bags to the boat terminal and insisted we had breakfast before we left first for the 7.50 am, boat to Bergen. The breakfast was nice.KathrynUnited Kingdom

Free croissants and coffee were provided in the morning, but for the breakfast you would have to go to another hotel (as they collaborate). Room was spacious and had a bath tub. We would recommend this place.KristinaNetherlands
