Eriksberg Vilt & Natur

There are many good things about this place. The rooms are spectacular, setting is beautiful and the ambition to be a top resort is high. However, there are quite a few things that are not up to a luxury resort standard or are poorly designed. The two things that was the biggest problem with my visit was the restaurant and the booking procedure. In short, 6 out of 8 in the company got food poisoned in the restaurant. One with a pre-existing condition illness had to go hospital and another suffered nausea for days after while the rest suffered from stomach problems. The response from the resort was "well no one else got food poisoned, so bad luck - sorry". As for the food itself it was questionable. High ambition but it seemed like they had problem serving the food to 8 persons at the same time. Timing was a bit off causing a slight temperature problem. Also, the seasonal menu is a surprise for you if you book it. You will not find out what it is until you arrive or ask a day or so ahead. Turned out that they rotate 4 menus, so it should be possible to know, but no. The next huge problem is the booking routine which on their homepage is controlled by an algorithm raising the price when someone makes a booking. This is normal, but this place raises the prices to the extreme. +25-50% difference or even higher in a day, only to find that the next day the price is back to a "normal" level again. It is impossible to get a price to plan a vacation here. You'll have to book instantly if you find a good price. Even if you call to get an offer, you might get an offer with discount that is higher than the current on-line price of the day. Crazy. As for the rooms they are good. Designed and large, but with flaws. Temperature in the room was hard to regulate due to the high ceiling. If you are sensitive to this, you might want to think again. The relax area is quite good. Nice views, a heated pool, sauna and a few lounge chairs. The area has sun the first half of the day in the late summer, and is a bit cold and shady in the afternoon. Come early or around lunch to enjoy sunshine. The area is also very spotty from an architectural design. No coherent design just different buildings at the same place which leaves a messy impression. The breakfast is ok, but not more. A lot of locally produced items which is their approach, but as for selection and variation, a standard chain brand hotel like Scandic beats the breakfast quite easily. Would I come again or recommend anyone going here - doubtful. Possible for a nights stay if I book well ahead and don't get caught up in the craxy price scheme they run here and of course avoiding the restaurant "Havsörnen".

Such a cool place that had so much to do. You live right in the nature reserve. We drove around and saw many animals, could also stop at a really beautiful look out point and go for swim. The hotel area is a cute village with old houses and the animals come really close. Nice walking paths around a lake and a tall tower you can climb up to see the view. In the evening we were alone in the spa area with heated pool and lovely view from the sauna.
