The unit has a decent size bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen is well equipped with dishes and utensils. Location is walkable to harbor/town center.

Not worth it if you can’t sleep comfortably
The cabin was lovely, scenery was picturesque, and check-in was a breeze… but these were the least pleasant nights of sleep I’ve had indoors in years. I get that Norway doesn’t normally need air conditioning, but global warming is real, the temps are only going to keep going up, and for these prices it’s not too much to expect the property to at least provide some fans.

Great stay!
Great place, super clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet is a little pricey but at the same time great options and good products. The bed was very comfy and not single beds, which seems hard to find. The sauna was also great, only bummer was the windows of the sauna were really dirty from people jumping and splashing the windows. So the view from the sauna wasn’t as we thought. But it did have warmed changing rooms and was a great experience. Def do dinner of breakfast even just to see the interior design of the dining room, beautiful.

We used this place as a stopover on our way to Reine. It fulfilled that function. The cabin is designed more for a longer stay with a complete kitchen, dining area, etc. We had a view to the harbor which is not so picturesque (more industrial). But, all in all, a good stay.

Absolutey not worth the price. Overpriced for a modern cabin sold as a 'typical fishermen one'. Place was dusty everywhere, used, stained and dirty furniture. Dust everyqhere in the room. Chairs and windows outside covered in bird's poo. Vlinds broken in 3 bedrooms and no one came to change them in 4 days! Location is in the middle of nowhere. Overall hugely disapointing.

Très bel endroit composé d'un ensemble de rorbuer traditionnels sur une île de Svolvaer. Au milieu de l'eau, un cadre idéal pour immortaliser en hiver les aurores boréales.
Les logements offrent un bon cadre idéal si vous désirez y rester quelques jours pour explorer les Lofoten.
Bien équipé pour faire la cuisine, vous avez également la possibilité d'un bon petit-déjeuner copieux dans le restaurant situé dans le bâtiment de réception.
Un très bon choix pour loger dans les Lofoten.
