Ah, the “half barrel experience” — proof that you can pay 900 NOK for less than nothing.
First, the fun part: you get to haul all your luggage 500 meters downhill on gravel. Think of it as an unpaid audition for a Norwegian edition of Survivor. No concrete path, no luggage cart — just you, your bags, and gravity.
Once you arrive, you’re rewarded with a sleeping space so tiny that if two people stay inside, your luggage will have to sleep outside (or on top of you). Claustrophobics, rejoice — it’s basically a wooden coffin with a door.
Bathrooms? Yes, but don’t expect to wash your hands — there’s no sink. Showers are even more exciting: they’re located back up at the top of the hill, so you can get sweaty again right after getting clean.
Overall, this is minimalism taken to a cruel extreme. Zero comfort, zero practicality, but 900 NOK lighter in your wallet. Perfect if you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to camp badly and pay hotel prices for the privilege.
⭐ 0/5 – Next time, I’ll just sleep on a bench.
