What a great stay in a beautiful setting. Just stunning! The cabins are located right on the water. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make your stay a great one. We enjoyed the spa experience with hot tubs and sauna. Thank you for an experience we won’t soon forget.

This was one of our favorite places we stayed on our trip. The staff was incredible, they all provided great tips and were very kind. The breakfast was great and the bar upstairs has a beautiful view of the ocean. They also have great recommendations for Akevitt! The site even has laundry for cheap which is great after weeks of travel! We were also able to charge our electric car on site! We will absolutely stay here again.

We saw from the photos and knew it would be lovely stay but when we checked in, from the warm greeting at the reception, to the unit we had, the view it offered right to the dining experience, the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We would love to revisit and spend at least 2 nights here

This was a lovely place to stay and I highly recommend it! Beautiful little cottages on the water close to plenty of hikes and stores. The only problem we had was it wasn’t available in the cottages only in the main building.

Beautiful hotel with nice staff

We booked two bedroom oceanfront cabin which got a very nice view. The cabin is clean but kitchenette facility is a bit short (e.g. cover is missing for pot). We don’t expect rooms are actually in the loft. So it may not be a good choice for those carrying large luggage as it is difficult to carry to luggage to go up to the rooms. Staff are very nice and helpful. Hotel restaurant is cozy with good breakfast. Overall speaking, we are satisfied with the stay.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
