Lofoten Basecamp

Lofoten Basecamp

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin room was great. It comes with a microwave, a coffee machine with americano capsule, utensils, plates and bowls. The only downside is 5 mins for 2 pax for usage of hot water which is rushing. Otherwise, it was great stay. There's also a sauna nearby for use. It's free parking and there's a 2 in 1 shampoo and soap for use. Toilet floor has heating which dry up the floor quickly."

"Good location. close to ferry terminal (if you traveled that way) Excellent breakfast set-up. Evening dining has limited variation for dinner choices (don't get the wrong impression, meals are excellent) but menu doesn't change so multi-day stay makes it tough. Otherwise, besides a very curt Russian waitress I very much enjoyed the multi day stay."

"Good location and convenient to shops and stores. Central and easy to drive to locations. Be mindful, there is a charge of 150Nok per day for parking. Make sure all payments are made within 48hrs else with car hire, you can get stung!. The hotel does not provide this information clearly. I was tokd I have 48hrs to pay after checkout! but this is not true! its 48 hrs to pay for each day of parking. Best to pay daily. Payments are made @ Autopay.io. I missed paying for first day and am now waiting for Avis who will charge me handling fee!"

10/10 Excellent
"Easily our favorite stop of the trip. There are lots of local shops/restaurant around within walking distance. We like the proximity to Svolvaer and other walks/hikes in the area. The reception also has souvenirs, snacks and drinks if you don’t feel like walking far for it. The cabin was super neat, comfortable beds and warm atmosphere, however the walls are thin so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. We also met Andrea-super personable and friendly. We wish could’ve stayed longer and will consider staying here again in the future."

Hattvika Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 3 nights in the 2 bedroom Stromoybua cabin at the lodge. A friendly staff at the lodge personally showed us inside of the cabin when we checked in. The cabin is roomy, modern and comfortable. It sits right along the water’s edge of the harbor with great view of the harbor. We were able to step straight out to the dock for a peaceful morning stroll. Breakfast was served in the lodge’s restaurant with great view of the water. The breakfast food selection was not as sumptuous as the other lodges that we stayed, missing our beloved Norwegian pancakes/waffles, but the service and quality of the food was good. We loved the Lofoten smoked salmon and brown cheese. There is also a locally produced fish liver oil available for tasting. The dinner was a highlight of the restaurant. We had the best tasting dinner at this restaurant for our whole trip in Lofoten. At around midnight on our last night at the lodge, we walked to the open area outside the main lodge building, it was very cold so we stayed in our car to keep warm. There were some light pollution from the lodge, but we was able see the aurora right from inside of our car. We highly recommend staying at this lodge."
