Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stayed in the upstairs flat in King Harald Street Apartments as a family but no teens or children. (There is no option for this on the drop down box so had to tick couples.) The flat was excellent, in a great location, had a high level of cleanliness and everything we needed for our stay. On arrival, milk, tea, coffee and shortbread from the Walls bakery were provided.Communication with the host was excellent. We would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends and family. We would recommend this accommodation to anyone planning a trip to Lerwick.

We stayed in Sandra's properties for a family get together. Apartments are fantastically located within Lerwick and are superbly decorated, furnished and equipped. We were also delighted with the lovely welcome packs which greeted us. Bedrooms are very comfortable and properties catered very well for our families needs (ages from 4 to 70 years). We would certainly recommend these properties to anyone visiting Shetland.

Back from a lovely stay in the apartments. Both are very spacious and well equipped. Beds are comfy and everything was super clean. Location is ideal for a stroll to the Lerwick waterfront and shops but also for venturing further afield across Shetland. Will definitely book these again.

Great location. Flat was very clean, comfortable and had everything required for a self catering stay. Although we didn't meet the hosts due to Covid restrictions they were always helpful and approachable by media.

We have stayed at the King Harald Apartments a few times before and had no hesitation in booking again. Absolutely fantastic value for money, Clean and spacious flats, everything we needed was there. A lovely quiet location with some good walks nearby. Have done in the past and will continue to recommend this accommodation to any friends travelling to Shetland

We have just stayed here four nights and I can honestly say this is the best accommodation for the price we have enjoyed since leaving home five months ago. The apartment has everything that we could have possibly wanted and was warm and the communication from Jean was welcoming and responsive. We arrived on the early ferry from Aberdeen and were allowed in on arrival which was fabulous. The apartment was warm and well appointed. We were able to cook our own meals, but also enjoyed eating out - it wasn’t far to walk to good restaurants. There was a lot of tourist information provided which was great and the internet was excellent - thank you. We even had NETFLIX so were able to catch up on some blue planet when we felt inspired after seeing the enormous numbers of sea birds anywhere we stopped along the coast. Thank you Jean for providing such an amazing place for us to stay. We would highly recommend booking and staying here.

I have lived in Aberdeen for a number of years now and travel up regularly to visit family every 3 weeks and have to say hands down that this accommodation ,in the centre of Lerwick, would be my number one pick if I was to give advice to anybody visiting Shetland. The owners have done an exceptional job in the way the flat is presented and at a price which is cheaper than most of the competition in the area. Stunning views out the back and a central location all adds up to this property being the number one choice if you visit the isles.

Something about this place made us feel so comfortable. We had the upstairs unit. The views from the kitchen was wonderful. The rooms are spacious. Jean told us they got a new carpet and asked us if we mind taking our shoes off. We did not mind it all. This means it is clean inside. The kitchen is well equipped. WiFi connection was just fine. After a day’s excursion, this was a nice place to relax. I absolutely recommend this apartment.

Great location. Immaculate and cosy inside. Exceptionally well equipped and up to date regarding furniture and fittings. Three minute walk to the community centre which does a terrific breakfast. Friendly and knowledgeable owners in Jean and David. Probably the best self catering in the whole Lerwick, all factors considered. Oh yes, and very good value for money too.

I stayed here with a friend while visiting family in Shetland. The owners came to personally let us in and were friendly and informative. I slept in the room with the en-suite. The bed is luxurious, the pillows are very comfortable and the duvet snug. The water from the shower is slightly weak, and we noticed there is no lavatory roll available (from what we could see) so we bought some from Tesco. The blanket on the sofa is big and comfortable. The views from the kitchen and my room are spectacular. In walking distance of central Lerwick. WiFi cuts off sometimes, but could just be my phone. The hotel style towels are clean and comfy. Good dressing table facilities. All the chairs are comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!
