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."

"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."
