Technical information about this website’s accessibility

This website is partially compliant with the Swedish accessibility regulations, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content described below is not fully accessible in one way or another. 

Lack of compliance with legal requirements

 The main issues affect users with severe visual impairments who navigate with screen readers and users with reduced mobility who navigate with keyboards or assistive devices based on keyboard control. These problems manifest themselves in form objects and calendars when trying to find and book accommodations.

Users with weak vision may experience problems with navigation using magnifying aid or certain color contrasts.

Users with cognitive impairments may find certain elements more demanding, especially moving content or certain aspects of booking processes.

The accessibility issues that remain below are related to third-party solutions for the technical platform on which the website is built. We are working to influence suppliers and trying to find alternative solutions to these features.

Here we describe the content that is not accessible

  • Forms on the website do not allow for preview before submission.
  • Automatic videos that start lack the ability to be stopped. We intend to resolve this with our web provider by May 30, 2024.
  • Images of certain products in our information database lack alt-text. We are continuously working to fill these in for each new product registered. For products existing before the legal requirement came into force, we have an ongoing task to add alt-texts.
  • Documents published before September 2018 may have accessibility issues.
  • Unable to complete bookings with a screen reader.
