“Not the house we booked. It was a basement flat down a garage ramp”
+Saltö itself is lovely. Nice walks in the forest and great swimming spots with grilling facilities nearby. The location is the reason to come here.
−Booked as a "Two bedroom house" for two adults and three children. What we got was an apartment in the basement, a converted double garage, with the entrance at the gable end, reached by walking down a garage ramp. The photos online are technically accurate but leave out what matters: the bedrooms only have small windows up by the ceiling, and the one large window is photographed after dark, so you can't see that it faces the garage ramp. The furnishings feel like leftovers rather than choices. Indoor folding chairs with fixed cushions are placed at the garden table, so the cushions stay wet long after it rains. The lounge furniture outside the entrance is well worn and the table is broken. The toilet seat is the wrong size, so you are partially sitting on the porcelain, and there is no shower curtain, so the whole bathroom floor gets soaked when you shower. The fridge in the small kitchenette was broken, so a replacement fridge had been placed in a storage room outside the apartment. One wall socket was loose and hanging out on its wires, should be fixed for safety reasons. A cleaning fee of SEK 1,000 is charged if you do not want to clean yourself. It is optional, but it was not

“Beautiful surroundings, terrible housing”
+The surroundings and Saltö were exceptional. There were cows grazing just nearby, the scenery around the islands was beautiful, and just a 10-minute along a beautiful forest path there was a nice, child-friendly beach. In a grove next to the farm we also had access to a trampoline where the kids loved to play.
−The housing itself was terrible. The ad didn't mention that the "apartment" is just a basement with just one full-size window facing a concrete driveway ramp and a garage. Oh, and some "cozy" broken cheap garden furniture on said driveway. But that's just the poor esthetics. The real problem was the facilities and above all the terrible sleeping conditions. We had to cut the stay short and just go home early, as neither the kids nor the adults could get decent sleep. The ceiling and walls felt paper-thin, as we could hear every footstep from the apartment above like a bang and each word they spoke as if they were in the apartment with us. Since they families staying above had both toddlers that were screaming and playing from 6 am as well as teenagers who were taking to 12 pm, this gave very little time to sleep. The "large double bed" was simply two 90 cm squeaky single beds put together. Since the "sofa bed" that was promised was actually broken and unusable (it was only about 150 cm wide anyway and would not be possible for an adult to sleep in even if it had been working), we had to sleep three people in this bed. The two single beds in the other bedroom were minimal, cheap and

“Hus B en helg i augusti 2026”
+Bra läge, gångavstånd till sandstranden. Rymligt praktiskt hus med det du behöver. Fin gård med utemöbler och gräsmatta.
−Hus B hade en separat lägenhet som tydligen var uthyrd i källaren. Mycket lyhört så de hade synpunkter på oss. Vi blev uppmanade i beskrivning av utcheckning som kom sent kvällen innan avresa att tvätta våra egna lakan. Utcheck var kl 10 så vem vill gå upp en timme tidigare för att göra det? Kändes konstigt och det hann vi inte.

“Härliga dagar nära havet som vi uppskattade.”
+Fint rymligt och mysigt hus. Bra med gräsplanen framför huset där barnen kan leka. Fint med gungor och studsmatta till barnen också. Lagom avstånd till finfin sandstrand och till Tjärnö marinbiologiska forskningsstation med fina akvarier.

“Trevligt bemötande av värden och fin och fräsch lägenhet. Ett plus att man inte behöver ha med egna handdukar och sängkl”
+Fantastiskt läge på vackra Saltö och vid naturreservat. Vackra hus på området. Trevlig värd. Jättebra att det fanns lakan och handdukar.
−Inte så lätt att laga mat på grund av bara en spisplatta. Ganska små och mörka sovrum.

−Skräpigt utanför entrén. Sängkläderna luktade unket så vi använder egna. Inget duschdraperi. Synd att det inte framgick att det var källarplan före bokningen. Tyvärr inte prisvärt.
