Håkøyvein 151 , seaside lounge,Cozy Two Separate Units ,1 Bedroom or 2 Bedrooms Electric Vehicle Station, Tromsø

The images online, unfortunately they were inaccurate and misleading.

Careful scam!! There are two separate places (one large, one small) that have ONE set of images. The small place barely has the 24m2 mentioned in the description and the owner is clearly trying to trick you into purchasing something completely overpriced. After arriving and noticing we booked something that completely did not fullfil our expectations, we wanted to cancel. The owner declined our request and even though we left and did not spend a minute in the property we paid the full price for 4 days

The location is nice. We did get a refund from the owner without any hassle and long conversations. I guess if you book the "vacation home", everything is fine. If you book the "One-bedroom home" like we did, well, then .... in either case, the owner has corrected her listing, which is very honest and professional.

The one bedroom home is depicted with four out of the 62 pictures, so if you study pictures, then you'd know. If you rely on the advertised text, then you'll be disappointed. There is no 2nd bedroom in a separate building, there is no bathtub. The home is really just a very small bungalow, not a "home", and it's not 30some square meters, but a whopping 23m2 inside. When writing this review, we've noticed that the owner has corrected the listing on booking.com, which we appreciate for future guests.

Great location, Esther was very responsive and helpful.

Front door could be a little fiddly and some switches/fixtures a bit tricky to follow up

Everything was perfect! Beautiful place, beautiful views. We saw Aurora 3 times from there. The landlord Esther very nice, warm and helpful :) I highly recommend this place to stay in!

Nth.

Emplacement idéal au bord de l’eau et au calme. Idéal pour voir des aurores boréales 😍 Sentiment d’être hors du temps et de toute civilisation 🥰

The place is great, we had so much peace and fun at the same time. The nearest grocery store is a little farther away, but that same distance from everything is precisely what i was looking for. No need to look for fancy igloos or hotels, this place is great and Esther is a very great and lovely host! My photos are actual photos taken from inside the place, just watching through the windows!

The best we already stay.

Everything, the owner offer a upgrade to the main house. Excelent, perfect, all amenities, everything you need.

The property is sparkling clean, very well equipped kitchen, where you can find anything you need. Ester was exceptional: she showed us around, gave as great tips of coffee shops and other activities in Tromso. But the best thing is that we were able to observe the northern lights all 3 nights of our stay from the balcony of the house. It’s unforgettable experience.

Very snug and cosy, had everything we needed including coffee!

Not what we didn’t like but the location is hard to reach on public transport - we didn’t hire a car - so just a note to say you will need rely on Ubers. Ester the host was amazing with local knowledge and we did find a bus stop about a 45 min walk near the supermarket

Very friendly host (Esther) who is willing to help. Free parking space. Facing waterfront. A very nice grocery near-by (not the usual ones/may be the best in Tromso- ask the host, 5min out). Separate bedroom with useful water pressure on the shower. Kitchen was well equipped. Useful outside picnic table if weather allows. Very near to the airport (10min) and about 20min drive to Tromso central. Located in a separate island, very quiet and peaceful. We saw aurora activity there as well.

Driving in-and-out was a bit tricky as there was much snow in the driveway on the day we stayed. Bedroom was on the small side. Do not bring too much from your car, there is no space for two luggage.

המארחת, אסתר, מאוד נדיבה ועוזרת בכל דבר. המיקום על שפת האגם היה מיוחד ביותר. הביקתה היתה מאובזרת, נקיה, חמה ונעימה כ- 15 דקות משדה התעופה.

הכל היה מעל ומעבר.

Super komfortowy i absolutnie we wszystko co trzeba wyposażony apartament dla przykładu w kuchni jest lodówka na wino oddzielna dla białego i oddzielna dla czerwonego, 😮 a także oddzielna szafka na przyprawy gdzie było około 30 różnych przypraw. Wygodne łóżko w sypialni wielki salon oddzielna jadalnia dla 6 osób. Pralka suszarka, wielki taras z krzesłami i największy hit zewnętrzne jacuzzi co prawda dodatkowo płatne ale wtedy masz je na wyłączność. My wzięliśmy na wszystkie trzy noce i co noc oglądaliśmy zorzę z jacuzzi przy -10 stopniach. To było warte każdej ceny. Do tego gospodarze bardzo życzliwi i pomocni. Mamy nadzieję że uda nam się jeszcze tam wrócić. Dziękujemy Esther za wszystko

The views were incredible from inside and outside the rooms. If lucky with the clear sky you can see the aurora / Northen Lights from the comfort of your room or the patio/outside area. Esther was great, accommodating and offered airport pick-up /drop off at extra cost. Accommodation has all utensils required, just bring your groceries. I loved the accommodation and hope to book again in the future. Can't recommend this accommodation enough.

We had an incredible stay on Hakøya Island, Tromsø. The house was cozy, warm, and had everything we needed. The highlight was being able to see the Northern Lights right from the property, overlooking the Arctic Circle – absolutely magical. Perfect location for a peaceful escape with unforgettable views.

Great location

Super small, advertisement can be misleading.

The accommodation has everything you need, kitchen, laundry, TV, wifi. Esther is very helpful and attentive. The view from the house is nice. Love everything throughout our 4 nights stay.

There's a bit of distance from the city centre, might be inconvenience if you do not have a car. But there's a bus stop nearby.

Great location, everything you need on site, possibility of observing the Northern Lights,

Peaceful place with great view if you want privacy and away from the city the kitchen has all the stuff you need especially great coffee macjhine and washing machine and dryer helped a lot

You definitely need a car but if you want nature and peace that’s the place The only problem I could find if I have to write sth the bed is not the comfiest bed

The location is great, not too far from Tromso's main Island. Remote, therefore not too much light pollution. Snug cabin with reasonable space for 2 people. Great Wifif, TV and fridge, and cutlery and plates provided for food. Good parking area as well

The property did not come with a kitchen, which is what is explained, however the plates and bowls were not microwave friendly, therefore we had to buy a microwaveable dish to heat/cook any food. Out of personal preference, we would have liked the host to be there when we arrived, to show us any extras about the property and be more welcoming, i.e. tools for cleaning the outside stairs of snow, where wood or equipment was to make a fire, and a bucket or bowl for washing up

151 is a beautiful lodge with fabulous views and only a 20 min drive from the centre of Tromso. I would say you definitely need a car in order to truly explore the area. I brought basic condiments with me (salt, pepper, ketchup etc.) but there was already plenty there. I also brought tea coffee and sugar which was also already there. The grocery stores are closed on a Sunday, so if you arrive on a Sunday, try to get some basics such as milk and bread before you leave the airport.

There is nothing not to like about this lodge, it is gorgeous.

Amazing views, amazing host, and you have everything you need for a nice stay right on the water with the majesty of the fjord and some easy snow foot trails right at your doorstep. Ester is a kind and people loving person and is willing to be there for anything you need.

The place is remote from the city which means you have to rent a 4x4 car in winter (and know how to drive on possible ice), or pay for shuttles to the city and back, and that you must drive to the nearest supermarket (in winter) which is 3 km away and walk 4 km to the nearest bus station.

Loved the property. You couldn’t get anymore picturesque if you tried.

Fantastic hosts, Esther and Tage, great tips, location, perfect view of aurora and great ambiance

NA

The location provided great views of the Northern Lights; and in the comfort of a fully functional home with heating, space, cooking, dining, with washer and dryer. I was wowed with the huge refrigerator with lazy Susan function. They also had an observation deck in front of the lake with proper chairs and fire pit as an option while waiting for the Northern Lights to appear…or just stay in the comfort of the bigger house. The host was also very helpful and extended help to make our stay really comfortable and memorable. She would even let us know when the northern lights probability would be..and give alerts. 10 out of 10 rating well deserved.

Nothing to dislike. Note that it is far from the city. As we don’t drive, transport arrangements were made either with the host, Esther, helping out or a taxi as an alternative. Our host was very helpful with transport arrangements. Just budget for transportation cost.

Gorgeous decor, really good facilities, comfy bed, warm house

The cabin had an amazing view! perfect for a couple, we used Esther's service to drive to and from the town which was very convenient, highly recommend using the hot tub, it is for an additional cost but, well worth the money. Lovely for a few nights stay to get away from the main town and perfect to see the nothern lights!

Esther was very friendly and helpful with recommendations and showing us round the property. The bed had to be the comfiest bed I’ve slept in that wasn’t my own bed! The area was perfect and remote which meant it was very peaceful and quiet, we rented a car so it was easy to get into the city with a 30 minute (slow) drive.

Scam

Property was unhygienic and no amenities.

-home away home -excellent host -good coffee machine + kitchen -beautiful home -excellent view

-bigger bed will be perfect but still ok

Ester was a lovely host, very friendly and helpful on the local area. Location was amazing, 15min from the airport, 25mins to the town centre. Driving across to the island in the car in the snow was very easy. Sitting in the hot tub, looking across the fjord watching the northern lights dancing above our head was just perfect! Glad we upgraded to the cosy one bed home, as the sofabed room would have been a tad snug.

Nothing, it was perfect for what we wanted!

I had a wonderful stay at this house! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing visit. The decor was charming, and I felt right at home. The host was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always quick to respond to any questions I had.

The place is very nice if you want to be quiet and peaceful only 20 minutes from airport . The owner is easy to communicate and very welcome to us . Wish we are stay for one more day to see aurora .

The location allows to dive into the beauty of northern nature yet to be close to the city of Tromso which offers a lot of cultural and social activities. The house is very modern, decorated with taste and has everything ones need to relax. It was a delight to be taken care of by our host Esther!

Loved the quietness of the cabin. We were right on the water and could walk along the shore. It had everything we needed and lots of conveniences were supplied and.. the bean to cup coffee machine was filled and much appreciated! Great location for exploring Sommeroy etc.

We had a great stay.

Everything

Nothing

It is distanced from the city center but the perfect place to see Aurora.

It had pretty much everything we needed.

Excellent location

Host would not accommodate a cancellation two weeks in advance

Lovely place. Cozy and warm.

Can't stay outside the room because there was no roof over the outside table and chairs. There are occational drizzle during our stay.

the small house was perfect for a couple. the location was beutiful and we managed to see the northern lights every night of our stay. we had everything that we need in the house. the jacuzzi was a really nice experience both at night and during daytime.Esther was really nice to us.

the humidiy was high in the house, as a result the towels were always a little wet.

We could see the Northern lights just outside the room. The jacuzzi is nice. The host were great and kind.

There's no public transportation, except taxi. But the host were kindly gave us transport for a reasonable price

The interior decoration is very beautiful and all facilities are complete. It is a house that makes people feel happy.

The location was breaktaking and Ester (the host) was incredibly helpful and welcoming

Nothing!

The view is amazing! Great location. We was able to see the northern light from the house.

It's a lovely place to stay and perfect to see the northern lights out there. Esther is a kind person. Thank you so much.

perfect hosts, perfect location, view, hot tub, northern lights without searching, fireplace, moose in the backyard

can't think of anything

Awesome Location!!!!! (You should have a rental car, though)... Squeeky clean, stylish, perfect host!!! Everything perfect!!! I will come again ..(for the third time!!!🥰...)

-

Location. Marvelous view and far from light pollution which allow us to see the northern lights just outside the house

To tiny.

The location is perfect to watch the northern lights. We saw some 3 times within a single week. It's a bit outside Tromso, approximately 20 minutes by car. Esther is a very nice person an very helpful. We were a bit late because of a delayed flight, she waited for us. Showed us how to spot northern lights and gave us some advice about the neighborhood.

It's a super nice location to see Aurora. And Photography!

Beautiful view and can see the Northern light.

Very cozy house with well equipped facilities and private place where you can enjoy the fireplace and the jacuzzi to wait for the northern lights.

Esther is the most amazing host and very helpful in making sure you are a memorable experience of Tromso. It was very cosy and had the most amazing view.

N/A

Beautiful, quiet venue. Perfect to see the northern lights in Tromsø.

Very small and lack of space to move. Had to store out bags in the car.

Very comfortable and amazing view

Very friendly and helpfull host with lot of tips for good restaurants and excellent grocerie store (Eide Handel). Outside Tromso, however still close enough (15 min drive). Beautifull view on Norwegian fjord and mountains.

Even after the upgrade to the bigger room/appartement, we had expected some more space.

Location, quiet, close to fjord and magnificent views. Toasty warm and all you need.

The cabin was clean and with all the facilities available. Perfect location.

A bit more maintenance would have been good. There was ice in front of the door. A bit more cleaning would have been good.

Esther was very helpful and the location was perfect!

Good placement with very nice mountain view.

Perfect stay outside of the city for seeing the northern lights. The hosts are super friendly and helpful, thank you! Hope to be back soon!

All was great and pleasant. Recommended!

the location is beautiful and 20 min drive into Tromsø. the host is very responsive on her phone and checks in regularly. there is a lovely sitting area with fire which is a nice way to take the views in

the wooden stairs down to the room were compacted with thick ice, this hadn’t been gritted when we arrived in the dark and was difficult to manage without a hand rail (perhaps this could be added). not being able to access a bed from both sides.

Complete basic facilities, clean & beautiful sea view. The room is warm & cozy. There is netflix on TV but you have to use your own account. Esther (the host) is very accomodative & kind in offering us transport service at a very good price.

Unstable wifi connection. The door has glass window which can be seen from outside. Maybe to consider curtain blind/ adjustable blind for the door’s glass window for privacy.

The scenery right outside the door! Friendly owner. Came to our help at the end, coz we got stuck in the snow. Heated floor in bathroom.

Room very small. Lots of snow at the door!!

We saw Northern lights just outside our window ☺️ Also Tromsø city centre is easily accessible from the place. The owners were friendly - would like to stay there again if we visit Tromsø again👍

The location, the facilities, the peace and quiet.... all far better than we could have imagined. We met Esther too and she is such a lovely person.

Nothing

First of all: we saw Northern Lights 3 nights in a row from the bedroom window/the terrace! Lovely, very helpful hosts. The small en-suite room (outside the main cabin) has everything you need for a short stay (fridge, kettle, coffee machine, microwave and of course bathroom), but most importantly, it has the most wonderful view over the fjord. The scenery is beautiful day and night. Very quiet and peaceful. There is a bbq and an outdoor oven that you can use.

Nothing, everything was perfect, we would return any time! Thanks again. :)

It was so good to be back! I love the house and it's stunning location. Comfy bed,everything you need and Esther is a great and helpful host. I hope to be back again.

Everything was fine
