Wonderful houses in quite an exceptional location. Everything was perfect, from the sea-facing, well equipped, modern house, to the exceptional breakfast and service. The restaurant also offers lunch and dinner, and with a sauna, and an aquarium, museum and gallery 3 minutes away on foot, you could easily stay onsite and enjoy the views and fantastically clean air. We, like most others, had a car and toured Lofoten. Having a kitchen meant we could self-cater and could keep our own hours. Parking was free too. I cannot praise this hotel/cabins enough. It was just lovely. Everything in our house/cabin was functional, beautiful and comfortable. It was beautifully decorated and styled and had a boutique feel. The service was exceptional.

Lovely property— we had a unit with direct water view, which we highly recommend. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Excellent breakfast with many options available, from frittata to Mollers cod liver oil shooters. The bread here was the best we had in 2 weeks in Norway. The main building housing the restaurant is a wonderful common space, so beautifully and quaintly laid out. Units have a second floor, where both bedrooms are. Stairs up are short but steep and narrow. Kitchenette available in United washer and dryer available for about $6 per load in a dedicated laundry area. Front desk staff we met were not particularly warm or welcoming and no water sports available onsite, despite spectacular location right on the water.

Lofoten paradise

This place embodied what we expected from the Lofoten islands…amazing place to stay in a stunning area. The hotel had n incredible spa and sauna facility that allowed us to experience the full sauna to polar plunge experience and the restaurant was DELICIOUS. The aquarium is also literally steps away which delighted our children and us. We did not want to leave.

I loved this property. The location is tough to beat, on a secluded bay that you feel like you have to yourself. The rooms have an authentic-feeling rustic charm and are very comfortable. The public areas, including the terrific restaurant, scenic outdoor seating, sauna, and the 2d floor aquavit bar are all impressive. That is my only complaint-that they didn't tell us about the bar on checkin. We only discovered it our last night at the hotel after it had closed. Don't miss it. Staff was uniformly great.

Lovely place to stay!

With so many Rorbuer choices in Lofoten, it was hard to narrow down which ones to pick but I’m happy we went with this one for 2 nights. Compared to a few others we stayed at, this one stood out for cleanliness, spaciousness and the breakfast. For a place with fewer cabins, the breakfast was outstanding for all the guests! A lot of variety, healthy choices and delicious options. Overall, a comfortable and relaxing stay with great service.

Spectacular location. Beautiful little self contained rorbuer (traditional red fisherman’s cottage) with a view across the water. Easy to prepare a meal in the cottage. Equally easy to walk over and have an excellent meal at the hotel restaurant. Much quieter and calmer than Svolvær which we really liked. Very interesting museum and art gallery a very short walk away.

I must call out the reception manager Madeline. She was friendly, cooperative, helpful and went over and above in efforts to make our short stay special. We were there less than 24 hours but felt like it was home. We would consider returning someday for a variety of reasons, but Madeline's friendly welcome and smile is certainly one of them.

Lack of...well...everything

Some of the failings had to due with weather, but also a lack of communication. Before booking, it would have been nice to know that the facility considers itself off season meaning the restaurant is going to be closed when you are there and staff reception is limited. When I look for a hotel, I look for access to food on property. As it were I went a day without eating due to the restaurant being closed. I also had a lack of heat in my cabin. Reception only stated different people like different things. I turned on the heater on the main level of the cabin and it took a day for it to heat up. While that was going on, the area was having gale force winds and pouring rain. The entire cabin was shaking, so much so that I was seasick on the upper level of the cabin and retreated to the lower level. I had no idea if I was safe or not, but the reception phone only rang. Later I spoke with a local who stated," Oh yeah, those cabins can take a beating in weather like this." She also went on to say that there had been a report of a tourist who also felt concerned and ended up leaving a fisherman's cabin ( did not say where) and that cabin ended up blowing into the sea.So my fears were founded. Worst of all, twice the staff walked in on me when indisposed, once when I was naked. I shouted I was still in the cabin as it was not checkout. Next time an hour later again! I was on the toilet and they came into the bathroom anyway and literally stood there watching me with my pants down.

Postcard-perfect landscape stay

Beautiful property between Svolvær and Henningsvær. Two-story cabins by the sea provide a sense of tranquility and makes the whole stay truly unique. Breakfast was amazing. Served by the sea offers great view to start your day. Staff was very friendly. Cabins are quite spacious and were more than enough for a family of four. Two bedrooms upstairs, one bathroom, kitchen and lounge area. We recommend paying a little extra for the seaside units. This was definitely a highlight of our trip in Norway. Get a car though, do not plan on using public transportation. If you're visiting the Lofoten Islands, even though there's other nice properties throughout the area, we recommend this one 100%
