Since it was a late check-in, I didn't get to meet the staff, but they were really thoughtful and left the notes and room key in the check-in box outside the cafĂ©. The cottage for four was super spacious and had that cozy cabin vibe, but the heating inside wasn’t quite enough. There’s a nice terrace, but with all the snow, they hadn’t cleared it, so we couldn’t open the door to enjoy the view. One cool thing is that they have a shared space for guests to chill and mingle. Plus, there’s a sauna nearby where you can relax in a comfy, quiet environment and even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Decent and clean apartment but it was different to the one in the photos that we booked. It was clean. Only annoying bit was the bathroom drain was blocked and there was no dish soap. Overall, great location to see the northern lights and cute surroundings with a lake at 100m.

Liked the lakeside location and coziness. Stayed in one of the double bedrooms 3 nights. Everything was good but there are signs letting you know of quiet times due to noise carrying throughout the building very easily. Unfortunately, not everyone adhered to the quiet times and I was woken up multiple times throughout my stay with people moving around, talking, and slamming doors. Something to consider if you’re a light sleeper.

Friendly staff and volunteers. NOTE: The kitchen is only open from 8am-10pm. The door is locked after these hours making it extremely inconvenient for those who wake up early for a morning hike or those who arrive late and want to prepare a meal. You cannot access your own food when locked and there are no alternative fridges in the hostel. There are no exceptions. The laundry is only open from 4pm. You are unable to do any washing in the morning. There are no exceptions. If you decide to bring alcohol, you are not permitted to store it in the fridges in the kitchen. There are no other fridges for storage. They don't like their patrons to consume alcohol within the hostel and ask that it is consumed outside by the lake. Not sure how this works during inclement weather conditions. There is no 24hr common area with other fridges or kettle. If you decide to do your washing, you must pay a fee for this. They will ask you to tip them upon payment. If you decide to use the Cafe, they will ask you to tip them, once again. This is not a budget friendly hostel.

Im Prinzip ist die Unterkunft in Ordnung, mit ein paar kleinen Investitionen (z.

VersprĂŒht, vielleicht ist das aber auch so gewollt, sehr viel Backpacker-Charme. Trotzdem wir haben uns bei Euch wollgefĂŒhlt, Ihr seid gute Gasgeber. Das Essen bei Euch war sehr lecker.

Tolle, ruhige Lage direkt am Wasser. Viele AktivitĂ€ten direkt vom Hostel. SĂŒĂŸes CafĂ© und allgemeine RĂ€umlichkeiten. In unserem Appartement war teilweise etwas wenig Platz fĂŒr 4 Leute, z.B. war der Esstisch extrem klein. Ein paar mehr GeschirrhandtĂŒcher wĂ€ren als Ausstattung ganz gut, wenn man lĂ€nger als 2 Tage dort bleibt. Alles in allem eine sehr schöne und preiswerte Unterkunft, vor allem fĂŒr die Lofoten. Man darf natĂŒrlich nicht mit Hotels vergleichen. Es ist und bleibt ein Hostel.
