Provider-sourced guest reviews.
It was lovely to be staying in a real house, full of charm and atmosphere. Loads of space, books, games, even a wood-burning stove for the cool evenings. Perfect welcome by the hosts. If you are interested in boats, there’s a working boatyard right next door.
Nothing, except to note that you cannot walk into Ballstad itself. There is little to see there in any event.
Posizione ottima, in un bellissimo rorbur restaurato Nei dintorni, raggiungibile con auto a 5 min, c'è un supermercato e un grazioso bar con dolci ottimi La casa è molto accogliente e pulita, bagno caldo, si poteva asciugare velocemente l'abbigliamento utilizzato per il trekking
Forse la vista sul porto operativo
Nice rorbuer with reasonable price. Location is very good especially if you have a car.
Arredamento in stile, affaccio sul porto.
Nulla
L'emplacement de ce rorbue traditionnel au cœur du port de pêche, une jolie décoration rendant le lieu encore plus douillet. On voudrait y rester plus longtemps, on se sent comme chez soi.
Rien tout était parfait.
Cura e attenzione della casa

L'emplacement du rorbuer nous a beaucoup plus, bien situé au cœur des Îles Lofoten, au pied du port de Ballstad. Les propriétaires ont été toujours réactifs et de bon contact.
Cómodo, limpio, muy bien equipado. El anfitrión muy atento, también dió información sobre la zona. Muy buena estancia.
A real rorbuer, classic, love it
Someone cooked fish before us and the smell was still there
Cosy and comfortable, it has everything you need. The host is very welcoming and kind :)
Lovely place. Clean and spacious. Hege and Steinar were great hosts and Steinar was very helpful in providing a list of things to see and do in the area. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Casa muy grande y bonita. Estaba limpia y con todo lo necesario. Muy tranquila.Anfitriones muy agradables y serviciales. Totalmente recomendable
Posizione magnifica

alloggio bellissimo proprietario molto disponibile, ci ha dato consigli e info molto utili
tutto perfetto
Spazi ed atmosfera. Ci siamo sentiti a casa e nello stesso tempo ci è sembrato di vivere la vita degli abitanti del luogo. Il posto giusto per chi cerca una location con un’anima

Groot, authentiek en gezellig huisje op een goede locatie in het rustige Ballstad. Alle voorzieningen zijn aanwezig voor zelf te koken. De bedden liggen goed. Goed schoon gemaakt.
Casa grande e attrezzata, ottima posizione per visitare centro-sud ; di fronte a porto, non propriamente scenografico, ma in casa ci si sta poco!
Letto matrimoniale stretto e corto, difficile starci in 2 , ma la casa è piena di letti!
Das Haus war sehr gut ausgestattet, warm und gemütlich. Ballstad ist der perfekte Ort zum Erkunden der Lofoten. Man erreicht alle schönen Ziele leicht und schnell. Die Wanderungen im Ballstad sind super.
En helt fantastisk upplevelse. Om ni hittar detta ställe ledigt, boka det, tveka inte! Huset ligger nära till havet och precis i mitten av lofoten och bra vandringsturer. Det är stort och rymligt och passar både vuxna och barn.
Le style ,la déco,le bois partout..magnifique
Rien du tout .tout était parfait
The rorbu was located in a quiet place and the decor was very rustic and homely, allowing us to experience how it was like to live in a fishermen’s cabin. It is also conveniently located in the middle of Lofoten, so it takes about a 1.5h drive to either Å or Svolvær, and a 20min drive from Leknes airport. The hosts were very friendly too! They took time to explain the various must-see sights in Lofoten and even drove 30min to the rorbu during bad weather to fix our toilet. Really appreciate that they went out of their way to make us feel right at home. (:

Posizione ottima per spostarsi sulle isole Casa calda pulita e attrezzata con tutto il necessario, come essere a casa propria. Host molto gentili
Partendo dal presupposto che la tv alle lofoten non sia necessaria...ma se c'è dovrebbe funzionare...il segnale saltava in continuazione.
Typisch verblijf in een authentieke Rorbu. Heel vriendelijke verhuurder. Rustige omgeving gelegen aan een haven van Ballstad. Alles in orde in het huisje.
Niets
Si tratta di un rorbu originale (ha più di 100 anni), tutto in legno, perfettamente ristrutturato dotato di ogni comfort, arredato con particolari e abbellimenti che riescono a mantenere una patina di vissuto tale da farci sentire immediatamente a proprio agio. E' molto spazioso, con un ingresso a pavimento riscaldato, due camere al piano superiore (5 letti) e un'ampia sala che dispone pure di un soppalco con altri due letti lasciati nello stile originale dei pescatori dell'epoca. Completamente attrezzato (lavastoviglie, lavatrice, forno, microonde, piastra induzione, tostapane, bollitore, set di stoviglie e pentole completo). Posto auto, WiFi. Situato nel porticiolo di Ballstad in zona tranquilla, un luogo dedicatoa pesca e senza caos, affacciato sul mare con una gradevole vista. Da Ballstad si raggiungono facilmente le zone più interessanti delle Lofoten e quindi considero la posizione ottimale dal punto di vista logistico. Il calore dell'ambiente è anche dato da oggetti di modernariato (specialmente relativi a barche e pesca) diffusi all'interno, a giochi da tavolo e per bambini e a libri qua e là, tutto contribuisce a creare un senso di calore che ti invoglia a godere della casa stessa oltre che del luogo. Una scelta per noi azzeccatissima e un dolore doverlo lasciare. Esiste anche un'area esterna sul mare con tavolo e barbecue, ma clima e neve non ci hanno concesso di usufruirne.
Difficile trovare qualcosa di negativo in questo luogo incantevole.
L’emplacement, l’accueil, les échanges, les équipements, le confort
房間乾淨,廁所有抽風,洗衣機還提供洗衣精,屋主非常貼心細心解說房間與物品用途,也提供我們他們當地人會去買的店,推薦務必去買住宿隔壁的魚工廠的鱈魚與鯨魚桶,非常特殊體驗,非常推薦!第一天到頭頂就有極光,超級幸運,門口追光即可
無 一切很讚
L’accueil et les conseils des visites aux alentours de Ballstad. Un véritable logement typique de rorbuer avec une belle âme.
Tipico rorbuer, accogliente e ben attrezzato. Caldo e con tanto spazio a disposizione. Davvero una sistemazione oltre le aspettative: ci siamo fermati due notti ma ci saremmo fermati di più. Host simpatici e disponibili. Ci rimarrà nel cuore!
Nulla nulla nulla!
Tutto bellissimo. Sembra di stare dentro una cartolina. Il rorbuer è magnifico, cucina attrezzata, vista sul fiordo. La proprietaria gentile e disponibile.
È un po' fuori dal paese ma comunque in zona illuminata.
Tout était parfait
Être sur le port. Le style du logement.
Logement difficile à trouver. Pas de numéro sur la maison
It is like a small house which you have everything you need for staying in 4-5 days. The kitchen and wash-machine are there. The house is also very cosy and nice view nearby. We will come back again. 😊

The stay in Ballstad was a great experience and the perfect base for exploring the rest of Lofoten Islands. The cabin was incredibly cozy with all the necessary equipment for a perfect stay. I absolutely recommend this beautiful accommodation and superb host, Hege. She was really friendly and helpful.
Nothing, everything was great.
We loved our stay here. It is a nicely renovated traditional fishing cabin. The host was there to greet us, show us around, and answer questions. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for making meals. The washing machine was also a great help. The beds were small but very comfortable. We felt right at home. This is also a great location to easily access almost anywhere in Lofoten.
Le propriétaire a pris bien soin de nous expliquer ce qu'il fallait visiter à Ballstad. Nous avons eu la chance de voir de sublimes aurores boréales.
Skvělá lokalita. Krásné, klidné místo a moc příjemná hostitelka. Ideální jako výchozí bod při prozkoumávání lofotských krás.
had everything needed and more. heated floors worked well. We even used the clothes washer and drying rack. Exceeded our expectations..
We had a fantastic stay here, a classic Rorbu experience. Great hosts, great communication, a lovely place to stay for a few days with comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen that packed a lot of functionality into a relatively small space. We enjoyed cooking our evening meals there. We had a direct view of the harbor, easy access to hikes, easy access to grocery stores. We enjoyed the wood burning stove, too! My son loved sleeping in the Rorbu loft, too!
La struttura è grande su due piani e al piano inferiore c’è anche un soppalco , disponibilità di svariati letti , fornito di tutto dal minipimer all’’aspirapolvere.. ci si poteva vivere ! Posizione perfetta fuori dal turismo ma vicino a tutto..

Super Rorbuer au bord de l’eau du port de balstad. Les hôtes sont au top, remise des clés en mains propres avec les explications pour la semaine. Trois belles chambres.
RAS
The heater in bunk bed unit is not working. There is no shower stall door.(After shower is hard to keep floor dry)
The property owners are extremely helpful and lovely, and go out of their way to show you around and make suggestions for your stay. The home was so cosy.
The accommodation was very comfortable and the location is great for exploring Lofoten.
We don't have anything negative to say about our stay!
Welcoming guests, plenty of space for a big family, games, puzzles, great location on the water
Was big and comfy
Everything! I love 1000X with this place. From the communication thru this apps Hege attention very fast. She explain details. The property have everything that i want like stay at your own home. Washing machine with detergent, fireplace, kitchen, fridge and free first aid for us 😊. Really comfy and warm home. We cooked everyday. The location my expectation will be busy but suprised very calm and quiet even the boat passby. And what make me love even more almost everyday Aurora keep dancing in front of us. I just keep checking from the window. Can see from inside or just go outside. Breathtaking. Please do not think twice if u want to stay here 🙈
Nothing
The rorbuer is nice and cosy, directly on the water, with the view of the port on one side and the mountain on the other. Ballstad has beautiful viewpoints and is in a perfect position to visit the south and centre of Lofoten. Hege and the husband are wonderful people. They have been helpful and kind. They equipped the house with anything we could possibly need, they gave us tips for places to visit and food to try, they have been super responsive and welcoming. I definitely recommend this stay. For the house, the hosts, and also the people in Ballstad, all very nice.
Whatever I say about this stunning Rorbeur will fall short of the marvellous stay we had here. Hege met us on the evening we arrived, gave us a tour of the property, explained the history and what a Rorbeur is. She also had the fireplace running and showed us how to start it too! The property was excellent…might I say a very niche place. There are lots of nick-knacks for wonderful photos (keeping with the nautical/fishing theme). We also saw faint Aurora on our first evening, and the second evening a stronger one. Hege also informed us of the Aurora in the sky over chat the same evening (so thoughtful of her as we told we wanted to see NordLys). I highly recommend this place for a relaxed stay. I wish we had a day extra to stay here and soak up this place and the wonderful town of Ballstad.
Nothing to dislike in November. :-)
Perfect host, helpful and polite, very nice location by the water. The house is comfortable, very clean and cozy. We even managed to see the northern lights outside the house.
Very nice and kind host.
Had everything equipped to spend a few nights. The host Heigi waited for us at 8pm and showed us around the property which was lovely. Our whole duration was wet and windy so we cut our exploration time short so the cable tv came in handy!
TV size could've been bigger for the size of the accommodation.. Probably won't bother you if you get good weather and spend less time in the property!
The owner is very helpful n kind helping 2 of our members to gum their shoes that lasted the whole journey of the holiday.
Very warm and cozy. Well equipped with everything needed in a home away from home! Even saw the Northern Lights!!😍
Nothing!
The house was just so cozy!! We all loved it!!! Highly recommended to stay here!
The rooms and beds upstairs were a bit small. But overall, the house was very comfortable.
I liked everything!!! Fantastisk communication with host!!! Rorbuer is very big with perfect view , comfy beds!! Best recommendations!!!! Kyss og hug til Hege og Steinar!!!
Nothing!! Everything was really, really perfect!!
We could not ask for more. Naustplassen Rorbuer is a real fisherman’s cabin. It is warm, it is cozy and has everything you might need during your stay. The Rorbuer is spacious and very well equipped. The communication with the host was great and it was a wonderful stay for us. We hope to be back!
A warm welcome. Host very very kind. The house was beautiful, very confortable and very clean. The house get us in the novegian mood even more. Thank you for all.
We loved our stay here. It was in a great location. The house was clean and we loved all the authentic details through the house. The host met us at the property and showed us around she even let us use her rowboat. I would definitely stay here again. You won’t be disappointed staying here.
The landlord was nice, the room was comfortable and there were multiple beds!
Nothing!
An authentic rorbuer, with lots of space and flexible sleeping arrangements. Friendly host with good recommendations. We stayed two nights, perfect to visit lovely beaches, kayak in Eggum and good access to local walks.
Very responsive, friendly owners. Rorbu was exceptionally well equipped and clean. Lovely views, plenty of space, nice location. I highly reccomend staying here. Thanks Hege & Steinar.
Good contact with host. Great cosy and clean place.
cozy place, nice location, cleanliness
The house was very cosy and the owners very kind.
The living are was really nice to hang out in. The location was good.
Both the main bedrooms have bunk beds and the height of the room is low. There is very little room between the lower and upper bunk beds and the upper bunk beds and the ceiling. It's a bit claustrophobic and we had to very careful not to hit our heads. It would have been nice to be able to fold the upper bunk bed towards the wall as we did not need 3 beds in each of the rooms.
Amazing Rorbuer. Very comfy and great for a group. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the whole stay was very pleasant. We have been so lucky to have had the nordern lights above us one evening and it was amazing!
None. Everything was good.
Beutiful cabin with loft space.
Hospitality of host. Value for money.
None
The location, access to the nature, very hygienic, very equipped kitchen, floor heating, they have a dishwasher and a washing machine!
Sometimes too warm, just one toilet.
The hosts were amazing! I miss them already. Such a special place, very serene. They made sure our every need was met and it was clear they care so much. I can’t wait to go back!
Zilch
Very authentic
Surroundings are not that pretty, but after sometime it grows into you :)
I highly recommend this place. The house is very well equipped in kitchen utensils, travel guides, board games, books, a dish washer and a washing machine. There is a lot of space. The Rorbu is very cozy and comfortable. The contact with the owners is really good 😊
Authentic Lofoten Experience. Not so touristy.
Beautiful, cozy home that was SO comfortable for our weeklong stay. The kitchen was excellent with everything we needed to prepare meals at home, comfy beds, comfy couch, responsive hosts, and fantastic location close to great hiking and a very nice sauna nearby!
Could use blackout curtains for during midnight sun! Had an eye mask though, which was fine.
The rorbuer is very cozy, well equipped, spacious and warm. The floor heating is a plus in the winter time. And you can stay around the fireplace when outside is snowing. Fantastic. Towels and bath soap. All great. And quick communication with the owner.
The location is probably the only weak point of this rorbuer. There is not a great view from the windows.
We appreciated the coziness of the rorbu as well as the openness of the hosts. From recommendations of things to do, places to eat and sights to see off-season, to all kinds of suggestions, Hege and Steinar were happy to help. We travelled with 2 kids (5 and 13 years old) and we found a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living room with a lovely stove and some bedrooms with bunk beds. Everything was at least as we expected.
