"Basic, maar alles keurig schoon en een stevig bed. Voor sommigen misschien te stevig. We kwamen laat aan vanaf de ferry, maar dat was goed geregeld met een enveloppe met alle benodigde informatie en een sleutel."

"地理位置非常好,離來回機場的公交站,幾家餐廳都不算遠,靠海有海景。 設施比較舊,但是還可以接受,暖氣也沒問題。剛進屋有潮味,開窗户會好很多。 無論如何,這是個很小的羣島城鎮,這樣的條件就算説得過去了。"
