So my wife surprised me with full package stay at this fantastic spa hotel in the cozy small town of Larvik, just an hour and a half drive from Oslo. The hotel is located on the beach, partly IN the water, and you can actually have a dip in the sea, almost directly from one of the many saunas. The spa it self is large, with many pools and saunas for all wants and preferences, everything from a hot mineral pool “cave”, cold baths, outdoors jacuzzi, Finnish sauna, herbal sauna, steam sauna… and many more. There are many relaxation areas both in- and outside and the venue is never crowded. You have to book a time slot for the spa. We did three hours of spa on Saturday and two hours on Sunday, with a 50 minute scrub and massage at the end… fan…tastic. As to the hotel it self… it’s great with many different kind of rooms. We got a spa-product goodie bag and a chilled bottle of cava when we arrived. We ate lunch outside in the spring sun. The food was great on the seaside bar. In the evening we had booked a table in the main restaurant with a three course meal with plenty of wine. The restaurant staff was very service minded and knowledgeable. We really felt welcome and special. As to the service in the rest of the hotel and spa, it was truly excellent. Everyone we met had a smile and greeted us, everybody seemed to be truly interested in giving us the perfect stay. We really recommend this place and we WILL return.…

Hotel's Favorite
After traveling throughout Norway, I sought rest and relaxation at this spa hotel in Larvik. From check-in to check-out, my stay was exceptional. The hotel, restaurant, and spa staff we all friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the spa is one of the best I've ever visited. Go for a hammam treatment as you will not be disappointed.! I left Farrib Bad rejuvenated for my journey home and hope to return in the future.

Great experience here! It was the most relaxing weekend we had in years. Its worth the money, even for a student like me. But with these prices one would expect that they stribe to make everything great. And it there is one thing that was a really, really big disappointment it was the food. The food was to expensive for the poor quality delivered. Other than the food the place is just magnificent. The spa is amazing and it's a phone free zone. So the hotel and spa is a solid 10/10. The food 3/10. We definitely coming back here, but probably eating somewhere else.

I booked a vene tid package for my wife and me. We are expecting our first child soon and decided to treat our selves and relax. The hotel and spa were amazing. We just put our phones on flight mode and relaxed. The food was amazing and great staff. My wife was extremely happy from her massage therapist. The surround area is beautiful as we. We would highly recommend this place to visit and enjoy the baths and relax.

Booked the room with sole purpose of getting a good nights sleep before continuing some busy travel days with work. Suddenly around 2300 the ventilation started making very loud noises. Tried to fix it my self with turning temp up/down. Went to reception twice to please have someone support. Nobody came - gave up and slept with my noice cancelling headphones on. When making notice of this in the morning the guy at reception totally neglected the problem. Highly unlikely we could have fixed it anyhow - as it sounds like it was something mechanical. Not my point - and left extremely disappointed with not even an apology. Will be my last resort when looking for good service in this area again leisure or business.

We checked in fully expecting to receive what seemed like the lovely lake view villa we had paid for. Not so. Instead we had a view of a row of caravans. I genuinely thought this was a mistake. I showed the girl on reception the villa I had booked and I asked to be moved to it. She said they went available, they were fully booked, but I had the same villa with a different view. On the website you can clearly see that the villa with our view is significantly cheaper. She refused to refund either in full-in which case we would have gone elsewhere with a significant saving nor would she part refund. She claimed to have called her managers but they refused to deal with it because they were on holiday-so were we! She said they'd talk about it on Wednesday when we checked out. We said, fine, just give us our money back and we'll leave because if we stay, we have no idea whether we will get the money back or if we would need to get legal advice. They REFUSED to refund us. She said she would get the owner, a guy called 'Gan'. She refused to give us his surname. He came, he told us that it wasn't true, that he was a worker on site and tried to show us his hands to prove it. He had no idea why he had been involved. It was clearly a lie to shut us up. Naturally we were furious by now. Gan, who was lovely, then got the restaurant owner - another lovely man - to apologise for our treatment. The restaurant guy tried to help but the receptionist continued to say that she would not do anything. It is simply not OK for ALL managers to go on holiday at the same time!!! I should add that the receptionist said the manager in question (on holiday, on the phone) was refusing to answer the phone-I have no idea if this was true or not. So, we were stuck - no full or partial refund for a service not provided-just a comment that we had a house on the water. She then ignored us and said she would deal with other people instead. A German family behind us said 'No, that's OK, we have the same problem, they haven't given us what we paid for'...! I should add that at the villa we have a base but no umbrella - the house is practically glass and the temperatures are scorching there is no shade so an umbrella, is desperately needed. Also, there is dog poo in our garden area and the fridge had not been cleaned. They are going to claim that we were angry, we were, but only after being really calm for ages and after an attempted 'dupe' with the handyman. They will say that we booked a water side villa-we did - as per the only image that was available to book for my dates. It was a lake view. As I say, for other days there was my villa at MUCH less. It is surely illegal-surely Holland has a, sales of good act. . A truly second rate experience especially having come from Beekse Bergen where we had our first experience of Holland and it was wonderful as were all the staff and we got everything we paid for. It was faultless.…

Lovely place. Perfect for couples and beautiful location by the sea. The staff are very friendly and allways have a smile to the visitors. The spa, bar, restaurant and the rooms are very nice. The rooms are bigger then expected and with the "lovebirds package" we got a room spa kit, cava and chocolate that made the stay even better. This is a place we want to come back to.
