The place is super charming and clean. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The property is big and with different buildings so you always feel that you have some privacy. They also have cabins which are great if you bring your dog!

Wonderful hostel. We stayed in an 8 person dorm. There were two kitchens, a common room, and a nice patio. There are also Paddleboards, bikes, and rowboats that are free to use. We will come back here!

Stamsund hostel was the highlight of my trip to Lofoten. This is a truly unique place on like no other (place on earth). You are taken back to an era of true charming Norwegian culture, hygge and conviviality. I say this as a Norwegian having moved abroad. The atmosphere lures of serendipitous discussions with friendly travelers, of all ages and from around the world. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery in a historic building dating back to 1930. No matter the weather conditions, the place and the people keep on giving. You have free access to rowing boats, stand up paddling, fishing gear, bicycles and more. No hassle, just let them know, and off you go. You can also book private free diving (with or without spear fishing), or book the Sauna for the most affordable prices in Lofoten. If it rains, you have a plethora of interesting books, board games, high speed internet (intentionally only in one of the common rooms) and will find yourself cooking and meeting new people (if you want). This place actually originated as a place for fishermen to seek refuge during bad weather, so they are prepared (more than me with my leaky tent). The people working and volunteering at Stamsund are diverse, interesting and extremely helpful. Matias and his partner that owns and run this hidden gem are of the highest caliber and extremely well travelled. I would definitely recommend to check out their instagram account: @stamsundhostel or other platforms where they share interesting content

Trevlig stämning. Slitet och skitit kök, mycket litet. Tur att det var sol, annars vet jag inte hur vi skulle ha fått plats att sitta ner och äta middag. Rummet var helt okej. Trevligt bemötande av personalen.

Rauhallinen ympäristö. Avulias ja ystävällinen vastaanotto. Myös mahdollisuus saunoa 10€/hnkl, yllätti. Suppailu ja soutaminen oli ilmaista. Ainoa miinus että puhelinnumero oli sivustolla väärä.
