    location issue
    check-in nightmare

    The karrawa's location was quite distant. The check-in process was a nightmare, not as smooth as you'd expect for such 'highly rated' place. I also woudl ve been looking forward to a complimentary upgrade, but alas, that didn't happen. I almost wrote a good review, but just couldn't.

    Absolutely great hotel that has quiet location on how to get off the island. Attentive staff, newly renovated and great modern room with a magnificent walk in shower. Savoury breakfast with porridge for the start of the day.

    home-cooked breakfasts
    distant location
    rough check-in

    Delicious home-cooked breakfasts that set the day right.

    While the guest house is in a quiet area, the location is frustratingly distant from central Kirkwall. It's a real trek to get to the town center, and the walk feels lengthy, especially when carrying luggage. The check-in process was not as smooth as I hoped.

    spacious room
    delicious breakfast
    lengthy walk

    The spacious room and clean ensuite made it comfortable. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with varied choices. We visited the local museum and the fine cathedral, both worth it. I highly recommend this spot for a cozy group getaway!

    The only downside was the walk to explore the town center. It felt a bit long after a day of sightseeing.

    The king double room was warm and super clean, with great amenities like a tv, electric kettle, and body soap. There was also a nice patio outside. The daily breakfasts were well-cooked and made our mornings perfect. Perfect hospitality all around!

    This cozy place was perfect for our family of seven! We loved the tasty cooked breakfasts and the host was friendly. The room was spacious, allowing our kids to play comfortably, and everything was super clean.

    My kids wished the Wi-Fi was faster for their streaming.

    cute host

    Couple's ideal getaway

    The host was cute. Breakfast each morning was something to look forward to, with plenty of options to choose from, that Scottish breakfast was filling!

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but considering how nice everything was, it was still worth it.
