Cleanliness
Frederiksværk Camping & Hostel presents a mixed picture when it comes to cleanliness and maintenance, with some areas shining while others fall short. Guests have highlighted the rooms and showers as commendably clean, freshly painted, and well-organized. However, the common kitchen facilities have received criticism for poor maintenance and inadequate cleanliness, with reports of a pervasive smell and dirty dishes. Some guests found the state of the refrigerator particularly concerning due to mold. Additionally, the communal spaces were closed during some stays, and older cabins showed signs of wear and damage. The bathroom hygiene left something to be desired, and the accommodations themselves, while generally clean, had issues with less-than-appealing mattresses and bedding. Overall, while some aspects of the hostel meet expectations, there is clear room for improvement, particularly in kitchen facilities and general maintenance.
