Myself and my partner stayed 5 nights in a double room at Eplet at the end of August and had a brilliant time. We'd originally been planning to come in 2020 but of course had to cancel due to Covid, so we were excited to finally make the trip. Trond and Agnethe are amazing hosts, offering lots of helpful advice about where to visit/activities to do. There is a very friendly atmosphere in the place. ||The facilities are good quality, with a large kitchen, though this can of course still get a bit busy with a lot of guests staying - it's a good idea to have dinner slightly earlier than everyone else to beat the rush! There is plenty of food storage space in cupboards and the fridge; each room has a shelf to itself. With regards to buying food, the shop has some supplies like pasta, sauce, cheese, bread and butter, but it's a good idea to come with at least enough supplies for your first dinner, lunch and breakfast. You can then make a trip to the large supermarket in Hafslo to get more supplies. We enjoyed relaxing in the dining/sitting room with our books, sat in front of the window with a view to the fjord. ||Make sure to read the Eplet website if travelling by public transport as it provides detailed instructions for how to get there - we arrived by ferry into Sogndal, and took a taxi from there to Solvorn as the late bus doesn't run on a Saturday or Sunday. The taxis are reasonably priced, it was £50 in total for the journey. Buses in the area are good - a week's ticket on the Skyss Ticket app is very affordable - but we did miss one connection on our way to Leikanger so had to get a second taxi. Bear in mind that there are often only two or so buses on a route per day, so you have to work around the schedules. Agnethe was kind enough to let us join her trip to the shop one day which saved us getting the bus to Hafslo.||In terms of activities while staying at Eplet, our highlights included visiting the Urnes stave church, looking out for the seal (which we named Sven the seal) in the bay, kayaking in the fjord (we hired them from Villa Solvorn), and a trip to Nigardsbreen glacier by bus (if you tell the bus driver you are going to the glacier, the connecting bus waits for you at Gaupne). We combined this with a swim at the Lustrabadet pool in Gaupne, which is highly recommended. Again, Trond and Agnethe provide helpful advice on what to do and which transport to get.||All in all a wonderful time, which we would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.

We were only at Eplet a short time, but what a special place - gorgeous views & quiet stay! It’s truly a feeling of home, and the juice is outstanding. We ended up with a bag of the raspberry for our Norwegian road trip and enjoyed it every day. Anyone searching for a peaceful, explorative spot in western Norway, look no further!

We came to stay for a day but we didn’t finally, here is why: 1. If you choose to stay in a tent, you will be pushed to use a different kitchen and a toilet( which aren’t clean)from the one that they offer you if you rent a room . 2. You cannot park your car next to your tent . You should park it 400 away from it ( that is not convenient) 3. The price is far more expensive for a tent camper and for what it offers 4. The host was quite arrogant and restricted to our needs Above all it is a cozy and quiet place to stay. With a pretty nice view.

Great hostel and host. The town didn't have any shops in there but the hostel itself had a mini shop for emergency food. The view from the hostel is amazing.

We walked past here and wished we had stayed. Really lovely guy owns the place. They sell the best strawberries I have ever tasted, picked from his garden daily. The views were beautiful and it is a short walk to the shore of the fjord for photos

We spent 4 nights here - 2 in the big tipi and 2 in a double room - and it was the highlight of our trip to Norway. Solvorn is a beautiful village, with an amazing setting right on the Lustrafjord. There is enough to do in the area (hiking, biking, swimming, touring) to keep one busy for several days. Trond and Agnethe have done a fantastic job making Eplet a very fun, inviting and comfortable place to stay. The tipi was great - the mattresses were very comfortable and we never got too cold. And Trond and Agnethe were very generous with their time and tips about what to do and see in the area. We also enjoyed meeting the other guests - the hostel is set up to be very conducive to socializing. Tips: if you are thinking of staying here, spend some time really reading their website. It gives extremely comprehensive information about what staying at Eplet is like and what there is to do in the area. Also, the seafood restaurant in town, Kvitabui, is not to be missed. Amazing setting and fantastic food. All in all, Eplet was a memorable and fun experience for which we were very grateful.

Eplet is a truly magical place surrounded by stunning scenery and plentiful outdoor adventures. We stayed for three nights in a double room and weren't ready to leave! Woke up each morning to jazz music, a crackling fire, delicious fresh juice and jam, and gorgeous fjord views. Such a peaceful experience, thanks to the thoughtful, friendly hosts. Mountain bike rentals a huge plus. Hope to return again soon!

This is the best hostel I’ve ever visited. Everything was clean and tidy, and the systems in place create an efficient and easy experience. The owner is so very kind and he cultivates a friendly & homey atmosphere. The views are breathtaking, and the bunnies are cute. I would recommend Eplet to anyone.
