If I could give 11 points I would do ... For us it was the perfect house and perfect owners.

Had a really great time here, a pity the time here was short. Happened to meet the very hospitable hosts when we arrive, & it is nice they are just next door should we need anything. The spacious house was fitted with modern amenities - relatively good heating, comfortable beds, a good shower, well equipped kitchen, everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Appreciated the snacks & the few other items for us. There was some information on where to visit around Vesterålen & I was glad to heed their recommendation.

Nothing - all was great, except that a lighter cooking pan would be appreciated by Asians. I forgot to tell the owner the main door key doesn't work (it is jammed), hopefully it has been fixed. But Norway is very safe, so we just left the house unlocked while we were out. Only pity was the weather was not favorable for Northern Lights. Speaking of which, perhaps outdoor cameras would be good to save the hassle of peering out of windows all the time =P

Thank you Karl and Rita for the hospitality. A wonderful charming house with a good vibe (well furnished) and everything you need is there. The location is perfect, really quiet. I hope we come back in the near future.

I am a heavy user of booking.com. This is by far the most beautiful accommodation that I ever booked. The wonderful, idyllic, charming, enchanting house (do I need to go on?) made us feel so good! The hosts, Rita and Karl (who live nextdoor) are super friendly. We found a lot of goodies (beer, chips, eggs, cheese etc) in the kitchen for us to use. I am a home chef and I like to cook my favorite meals. This is not always easy due to the lack of the right “tools”. This kitchen, however, had everything I need. There is no television but with an enchanting view from every single window, you don’t even want the distraction of a TV. We only stayed for two days….., wish we had booked for more!

There is really nothing negative about this place.

An authentic Scandinavian house, carefully renovated and filled with beautiful objects (dishes, etc) by kind and welcoming hosts, becomes this truly beautiful and peaceful place with all the comfort you need. Although we enjoyed slow days with the views from the house in the morning or evenings in front of the fireplace, you are well connected to the Lofoten for a day trip (ferry from Melbu) or nearby Stokmarknes with places to stock up on groceries or a floating sauna you can book. Bonus: if you are visiting at the right time of the year and are a bit lucky as well, you can see northern lights from the house or right behind.

This is perfect for people who appreciate the atmosphere of such houses with history and soul. You hear the house as you move, not every door closes perfectly, etc. If this doesn't add to your experience or you prefer new luxury with lots of entertainment, this may not be for you.

Very nice, helpful and service minded host. Fantastic view and a nice house 🌞

This is the house with soul. Wonderful, magical place with interior done passionately and tastefully. Old fashioned, rural and super cozy and comfortable. Must not forget the stove which is delightful and guarantee relaxing vibe. Kitchen very well equipped. House was super clean, hosts were all nice and helpful. Highly recommended in every season. We spent only one night but would love to a lot more

There were no TV (actually TV doesnt fit in such place) Would like to have drying rack for dishes in the kitchen A bit noisy wooden floors. With more people accomodated this can be bothering
