Eliassen Rorbuer

Booked 2 nights then added one due to weather. Stayed in a traditional cabin that was newly refurbished. Heated floors in the bathroom were very nice. Kitchen had everything needed to make most of my meals. Ate at Gadus the last night and wished I’d found it the first nite! Excellent meal. |Bed was comfortable. It moved and creaked lot during the 40 hour wind storm, but held fine. Great location to explore the area from. Had a washer and dryer available for a fee. Enjoyed my stay vey much.

Amazing place to stay. The cottage was big and spacious. It had a functional kitchen. The location is amazing. It is by a lake with a beautiful view of mountains and the lake. Many were able to spot northern lights just above the mountain

Eliassen Rorbuer is a picturesque and charming spot with breathtaking views of the water and mountains. Our stay was fantastic, with spacious cottages providing great comfort. The location is absolutely beautiful, right by a peaceful lake with lovely views of the surrounding mountains. A wonderful place to stay!

We stayed two nights at Eliassen Rorbuer in Hamnøy and it was wonderful. The weather wasn’t so great, with strong winds (34mph / 55 kph) and driving rain, but the view from the kitchen table was mesmerizing, watching the ocean swirl around the rocks ten feet below the cabin and the mountain looming 500 feet above. ||Our cabin had two bedrooms, each with a bunk bed, and a cozy living room with a kitchenette. It was a very quiet spot except for the waves, wind, and seagulls! The cabin had a lovely rustic vibe but was very comfortable. There is one restaurant (Gadus, which is excellent) — make sure to make reservations because they book full every night, and you have to drive some ways to find other options! Of course, having a kitchen means that you can cook for yourself instead… (We didn’t). ||Be aware that there is free EV charging — but the machines are very slow — 30% charge on my rental over about 12 hours. Nevertheless, this is a nice feature. Fast chargers can be found about ten minutes away.

The rooms are equipped with a kitchen, the room is not very clean and smells like fish and the kitchen too, they don't give soap, the windows are transparent which means that there are rooms facing each other and if you open your curtain you can be seen by the people in the other room or those walking by. The only restaurant there is very small, it has a bad smell. The location is good because you have a good view and some activities. I would recommend this place only to an enemy. Everything smells bad.

Cozy, Nice Staff & good quality clean kitchen utensils which is rare to find in other places. Addition of dishwashing soap would be nice to wash dish by hand. There were some other cleaning sprays put near kitchen sink which we confused with Dishwasher.

I gave Eliassen Rorbuer 5 stars because the views are crazy beautiful! We upgraded to a seaview cabin which was completely worth it as after wandering around the incredibly picturesque locality I didn't want to stop looking at the views. The mountain, fjord & sea views we had (from cabin 54c were stunning - see pix).||The cabin was a good size, just the bedroom being a bit small so you could only get out of one side of the bed & there wasn't much storage space for clothes (though this is something I've noticed everywhere we've stayed). The kitchenette had everything you'd expect from a kitchen & bathroom was good too. WiFi was fast. No TV.||The little 'village' of cabins was pristine & pretty - was nice to walk around looking at views and the rorbuer. Easy to walk to other places too including the closest bridge for the Lonely Planet guide cover photo &, really, everywhere you look is stunning. There was a coop nearby & also a bakery onsite for fresh baked goods & a fish and chip truck that was open till 8.||It was such a treat to stay there - best views we've ever had!

The best view I have ever had. We were able to sit in front of the whole-wall windows and pass the day reading and catching the view. It was stormy and we didn't even care. Very cozy!!!! Even had a small kitchen so we could eat in. Would come back in september next time!

Amazing views! Adorable little cabins! Very comfortable and quiet and the kitchen has everything you need. There was a hair dryer!! Staff was very helpful. And there are many cute kitty cats hanging out. Our visit to this part of the Lofoten islands was soured by lots of rain and gray skies but even still, the views and the scenery are spectacular. Kitchen was great for cooking as there aren't a lot of restaurant options, especially in the off season. Cons: Renting a bike was very expensive as there wasn't an option to take it out for an hour. It's also so hilly here you'd need to be in good shape to pedal around. Mattresses a bit thin. No breakfast. There's not a ton to do in this part of Lofoten and it's the most remote part if you arrive in Svolvaer, but it's ideal for relaxing and enjoying the exquisite scenery. Also, none of the 1 bedrooms have direct water views (I don't think). We were in #10.

Great place to stay in the lofoten. Just be warned about the noisy gulls that knock over your coffee if you're not careful!
