The typical Rorbuer had the red color and the position on the water in a charming village like Henningsvaer. Perhaps too much house as a fisherman ... we stayed in one of the small (for two people) and in fact the site was very well viewed photos of those a little bigger and comfortable. The 24 would say very spartan (we came in thinking we were in a old roulette). No kitchen equipment (a pad and a pentlin), there were no washing machines (as in the other robbuer we had booked in our tour at Lofoten ... even though the price of the stay was higher than previously). No place to support the bag except the sofa ...A separate mention goes to the bathroom: small washing thighs (and not high), shower with tent and plastic rubber (like in a wheelchair), very few hand towels. I would have called it camping for the right reason.

We stayed one night in one of the Rorbu faced on the sea and everything was perfect. Check-in at 15 in a winter afternoon under the snow. Cottage comfortable and clean, with a full-faced living on the sea on the private portal. The view alone is worth the living. Kitchen equipped. 2 comfortable rooms. Only the bathroom has a little disappointed but the rest largely makes it forget. The place is charming, one of the most beautiful of Lofoten. We also used the SPA (pay). Small but for private use for 1.30h with sauna and hot tubes with crazy views. A place where you would like to go back.

This hotel has a beautiful location. That’s about all it has going for it. The staff is surly and the food is pretty horrible. Instead of a guest-centric attitude, their attitude seems to be “this is how it is, too bad”. Examples include: - kicking us out of the sauna because guests who are skiers are only allowed to use it from 4-6pm - refusing to put the local version of Nutella they have at breakfast out for waffles, despite multiple guest requests. Apparently because people would like it too much and they would “be going through loads of it”. Truly astonishing. - scolding guests for drinking cans of beer (in lieu of paying the exorbitant prices at the lodge) - hot tub only open two days a week. Water is filthy and lukewarm The food is tasteless and of low quality with no variety. Cod and boiled potatoes for dinner, the same yogurt and muesli for breakfast every day. So much so that we twice elected to leave and pay for expensive meals in Svolvaer just to avoid eating another dinner here. I can’t imagine coming here as a couple since the rooms are tiny and basic - glad I was here with some ski buddies as my wife would have insisted we leave based on the unfriendly attitude and poor food.

My very first experience with glamping was memorable. The view was extraordinary, the room was big enough and we had almost everything we needed there. The bed was made from a special wood, that smelled like forest the entire stay. Notice that the bathroom is 50m away from the room. The few steps you have to do back to the room after shower/toilet can be freezing in case of cold or rainy weather. Some dish soap and a sponge to clean the cutlery would be great to have at the glamping.
