Botnen Camping offers a mixed experience when it comes to the bed arrangements in its accommodations. While some guests appreciated the perfect bed paired with beautiful views, many others found the beds to be narrow, too small or too short, especially for taller individuals. The beds in the cabins, mostly bunk beds or stacked arrangements, were often described as uncomfortable due to thin or worn-out mattresses, causing issues with creaking or inadequate support. Despite these concerns, the site provides small yet well-equipped cabins that contain all essential amenities, ensuring a functional stay. Upgrading the mattresses could significantly improve the overall comfort of the sleeping arrangements. Additionally, some guests noted the musty smell from the sofa and sporadically ineffective light bulbs.
