Good cabin for large families or a group of friends in very good conditions. Spacy and cosy with equiped kitchen. Good location near the airport. To enjoy all the nice places in lofoten don´t forget to rent a car.

We stayed a week in late June (for the summer solstice -- 24 hours of sun! -- in a two-bedroom rorbu. Yes, the beds are narrow, but still comfy. Because the sun slide behind the mountains (a.k.a. "The Lofoten Wall"), and decent though not totally light-blocking curtains, sleep was not a problem, especially with long, active days in the sun (or mist or rain, this being a Norwegian west coast location). We had every comfort we needed, including a nice sized refrigerator and well-equipped kitchen, where I cooked a fish I caught on what would be called a "party boat" at the (New) Jersey shore. Although there was little we needed from the staff, they were accommodating. There's a coin laundry on premises, which we used. Good wi-fi coverage in our rorbu. Picnic tables afforded great views where I could enjoy my cold steamed shrimp and a beer. Oh, buy beer at the Mega Coop supermarket in town -- almost half the price of what you'd pay in a restaurant. The on-site restaurant was excellent, though like all Norwegian dining establishments, pricey, so other than the typical, filling, tasty breakfast buffet, we mostly ate in the rorbu. If you can time your visit for June 22 (when "Midsummer night's eve" is celebrated in Norway, regardless of the astronomical calendar) there's a bonfire celebration down the road, with romergrot (sweet porridge) and polse (hot dogs). Room furnishings are comfortable for lazying about if you don't feel like dealing with those rainy days (which are to be enjoyed, not avoided: just dress appropriately). Since I'm a foodie, I was thrilled by the cod drying on racks near our rorbu; my wife immediately detected the aroma upon our arrival, but it was not off-putting.

Stayed three nights here in a one (twin) bedded cabin. The location is amazing, cabin was spacious, but the beds were rather narrow, and the bedroom had no storage space- it is in the hallway. Lovely well fitted kitchen/dining room/lounge, and big bathroom, with underfloor heating - perfect for warming feet when coming in from the snow, and good for drying wet kit!!!
Breakfast is served in the restaurant. it is varied and plentiful. Dinner there is excellant too.
It is an easy walk into Svolvar town, where there are supermarkets, coffee shops and several restaurants. Taxis, however were rather expensive, but certainly necessary to get to the docks with luggage in the snow!!!!!

Svinoya Rorbuer is THE place to stay if you're visiting Norway's Lofoten Islands. Located in Svolvaer the titular capital it is easily accessible by plane, ferry, and cruise line (Hurtigruten). We stayed in a modern two-bedroom rorbuer complete with kitchen and the most magnificent views of the town, harbor, sea and distant islands. The Svinoya Rorhuer also has THE best restaurant in the area and certainly in the town. It's a fantatsic place to saty and explore this eerily beautiful area.
