A beautiful forest surrounds the hotel, which sits in a little meadow along a stream. A few minutes' walk will get you to the beach, where you can walk along the sand. I found the staff to be extremely welcoming and kind, and ready to do anything they can to make your stay more enjoyable. They speak many languages, including English, Swedish, and German. I borrowed one of the bikes they loan to guests, and Bo spent time personally showing me a map of the island and explaining the bike trails. Every morning there was a beautiful breakfast spread with options of breads, meats, cheeses, yogurt, and my favorite--a make-your-own waffle station. I also ate meals served at the restaurant, and each was tasty and unique, made fresh in the restaurant. You can also order coffee and cake, also homemade, in the afternoons in the common dining area. My room was spacious and clean, with updated modern furniture. Cleaning staff was prompt and helpful--a light bulb which burned out in my room's entryway was replaced immediately. There's wifi and TV, everything you need. I loved the easy access to the bike trails, and Lone was always ready at the front desk to help me get a key to borrow a bike. I also walked on the beach, went for runs in the forest, and explored nearby towns of Sorthat Muleby and Hasle. I even biked up the coast to Hammershus, the oldest medieval ruins in Northern Europe. When I got back tired, the common areas in the hotel's outdoor seating areas were the perfect place to sit and rest or read. Each hotel room also has its own little outdoor patio. There's even a quaint mini golf course! In all, Bornholm is a perfect destination spot whether you're looking to relax or be active. Bo and Lone are perfect and accommodating hosts, and I'm convinced there is nowhere else to stay or eat on Bornholm than Hotel Skovly. You'll experience the best of this Danish island if you stay there.

Review in Danish below…read more On the plus side: * Location in the center of Rønne is excellent * Staff extremely friendly and helpful * No key, use a 6-digit number * Breakfast: Excellent value for money * Lots of electric and ethernet outlets * WiFi OK * Free parking during daytime On the minus side: * Lots of street noise (our room faced the "Tornegade" street) * Mattresses too soft (for us) * Sheets too small, ended up in wrinkles leaving mattresses partly exposed * Shower needs curtain - all of bathroom ended up wet after shower * Sheets/top mattress had a "polyester" feel * Dining hall: dish washing could be better - had to go through several teaspoons etc to find a clean one * Poor quality bathroom tissue - we bought our own * No/poor ventilation in bathroom (and in main room) * No coat hooks in the room (three in bathroom) Despite the many qualities of this hotel, we are awarding only three stars. This is mainly due to the fact that we found it difficult to get a proper night's sleep. An upgrade of the beds and linen would make for a fourth star, and better insulation from the street noise would trigger the fifth star. The other things mentioned in the negative list are all just minor inconveniences. Danish version: På plussiden: * Centralt, fin beliggenhed * Personale usandsynligt venlige og hjælpsomme * Ingen nøgle, man bruger en kode * Glimrende morgenmad til prisen * Mange elstik samt netværksstik * OK WiFi * Gratis parkering i nattetimerne På minussiden: * Megen gadestøj (vi boede ud mod Tornegade) * Sengene for bløde (til os) * For små lagner (med mindre man ligger fuldstændig stille, krøller de sammen, så man ligger delvis på madrassen) * Brusebad mangler forhæng eller kabine - alt bliver vådt under bad * En fornemmelse af at ligge på kunststof (fra enten lagner eller topmadras) * Opvaskens kvalitet er noget vekslende - stor andel af "ommere" * Toiletpapir er for tarveligt (vi købte eget) * Dårlig udluftning på badeværelset * Ingen knager på værelset, bortset fra tre på badeværelset Vores vurdering er i overkanten af et tretal, men klart under fire stjerner. Det skyldes først og fremmest, at vi trods hotellets mange og åbenlyse kvaliteter havde svært ved at få sovet ordentligt. En opgradering af senge og sengetøj ville give en ekstra stjerne, og bedre lydisolering mod gaden ville give endnu en. De andre ting på minussiden er i småtingsafdelingen.
