Outstanding stay in Nusfjord. We loved our one bedroom cabin with living room. The accommodation was very clean and cosy. We appreciated the number of hooks and hangers to accommodate clothing damp from the rain. The bathroom was well appointed. The robes and slippers came in handy for use at the spa. Hot tubs, sauna, and cold plunge were wonderful; we especially appreciated the unlimited use after 4pm (no need to reserve). The view from the hot tubs was stunning and relaxing. The en suite Nespresso machine was a welcome start to the morning. The food at the restaurant was excellent; we didn't have any problems with the limited selection. Breakfast was excellent with multiple choices to suit the varied dietary requirements and desires of our group. Some reviewers complain about the cost; we found the cost typical for Lofoten. The village was great for a day of exploring. The vanilla custard rolls at Hansines Bakeri are not to be missed. We spend a morning in sea kayaks/ SUPs; what a wonderful way to explore the fjord. I did not know what to expect for the RIB boat; it's like a roller coaster-- exhilarating and fun. We got to see several sea eagles up close; don't hesitate to book the RIB boat. Some reviewers wrote that being in the harbor cottages was like being in a zoo; yes, tourists do come close to the cabins, need to keep your curtains drawn, but the harbor closes to tourists in the early evening, and most of the day you should be out exploring anyway. I hadn't realized that Nudfjord Arctic Resort had been featured on the BBC until I came to write this review; it's truly deserving of the accolade. Our group stayed at 3 other accommodations in Lofoten, and we unanimously agreed that Nusfjord Arctic Resort was the best of the best. 100% recommend. Would love to come back.

The Eliassen Rorbuer should be a mandatory stop for anyone who wants to experience the most fabulous lodging and views available in the Lofoten Islands. This hotel is constituted from an historic Norwegian fishing village, with individual and well-appointed cabins for guests, many of which cabins face out directly onto the spectacular harbor and towering mountains near the town of Reine. The cabin rooms are spacious and immaculate, with separate bedrooms and sitting rooms where you can luxuriate in the incredible scenery right outside your door. The village includes a top-flight restaurant (Gadus) with delicious included breakfasts as well as dinner if you so choose. The staff is warm and friendly, and there is even a washer-dryer right on premises for use by the hotel’s guests. Best of all, the location is perfect, within a short drive of truly amazing hikes like Reinebringen and Ryten Mountain/Kvalvika Beach. The hardest part of our whole trip to Norway was having to leave this very special place!

We stayed here last week. We booked for 2 nights but left after one. It's a basic hostel, rather than the ”Rorbuer” it is advertised as on ***********. It's quite scrappy outside with a dark interior (I guess the lights were switched off to save energy?) But it was clean enough. We had a twin room, which was large and tidy. But it was next to one of the two kitchens. The night we stayed, the hostel was very busy with a large groups of friends occupying each of the kitchens. They took over every table and worksurface and were preparing extensive meals using most of the utensils. So there was nowhere for us to prepare our dinner or even to sit down. When we entered either kitchen we were met with stares of surprise that we had trespassed into their ”space” and one woman even told my wife not to use the last remaining saucepan as they needed it for their cooking. The second group simply shut the kitchen door as a sign that this was their ”space”. So much for ”communal spirit”! They occupied both kitchens from 5 pm to 10 pm so we had to go out for dinner and buy from an expensive (though tasty) food van nearby. It was hard to sit in our bedroom as there was constant noise from the kitchen next door and the walls were very thin. I had to read my book with my earplugs in for 2 hours. By 10:15 pm people had left the kitchen and we could breathe a sigh of relief. There was an unused bar area outside where we were able to eat our van food, but nowhere inside to escape from the noise. After one night of this we didn't want to risk a second night, so explained our concerns to the manager and left the next morning. On reflection, I guess we were unlucky to be at Lydersen at a busy time when two large groups had decided to take over the hostel (though this may be a common occurrence in the summer?) The hostel is basic, and the walls very thin, and there are not enough utensils to cope with busy times in the kitchens. It would be great to have a lounge where people can escape when the kitchens are full. The location is good, so my advice would be to go in expecting the worse and you may be lucky to find it quiet or at least occupied by smaller groups/individuals who don't think they own the place.

I stayed with my girlfriend in this small hotel in lovely Reine in August. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice the place is: starting with morning yoga, good self-catering facilities and a bright room facing out to sea. The actual stay was great. However, I left some clothes behind by mistake and have now spent a month trying to get the hotel to send them back to me. It's a series of unanswered mails, messages and calls. This reminds me that when we were going there we also had the experience of not getting replies to our messages. I don't know how a tourist facility can function with such poor communications. Its just a shame that the time there is now a bit spoilt.

The hotel reception is very good! Because I read the comments and introduction, I know that there will be bunks! So in advance and Ctrip said that there are people who do not arrange for the elderly. The reply is no bunk! Do not worry! But go to the hotel front desk and say that there is no request, and the hotel is full, if you ask in advance, you can do not arrange. Although Ctrip finally apologized for the compensation, the overall booking was not good! Then the hotel front desk showed me another room without a bunk bed! Say if you remember to remember again next time! The front desk also introduced a lot of local conditions to us! Cook for three nights, one day under super heavy snow

Most enjoyable two night stay with super staff - both at check-in with Marcus and all those working in the restaurant. The harbour location is really quiet and well off the main road. Charming rorbu fishermen's cottage (this is not a 3/4 star standard hotel so you should do a little research in advance as to facilities). Strong wi-fi and looking out on the harbour from our cottage was idyllic. The restaurant, separately housed, was equally impressive in all respects and for evening meals do not even consider Ballstad town, stay home and eat ”in.” Ambience, cuisine and service was very good indeed. Thanks to all.
