Comfortable and enjoyable stay in Sjøstrand Rorbuer.

We really enjoyed our stay at your accommodation. The room was very clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. It was nice to have free car parking. The location was also very convenient for us.

Everything was fine

Beautiful and cozy cabin

The location is beautiful , it's a wooden cottage in front of the ocean .The kitchen had all the amenities needed to make a full meal . The living area is comfortable and we had breakfast with the view of the ocean which was so nice. We even witnessed aurora in front of the cabin which was truly amazing

Highly recommended

The property was very cozy, everything we needed was there. Also, there was a possibility to reserve sauna, which was a pleasure. Owners were very extremely kind and helpful.

Nothing, everything was good! The only thing which could be improved is the access to the water to jump in after the sauna, I tried to use the ladder to access the water but could not make it - maybe it is not suitable for that (did not clarified that with owners prior to using the sauna). But overall this did not affect the whole stay which we enjoyed a lot.

Authentic experience

Cute authentic fisherman cabins with everything you need. When we asked the hosts for additional cooking ware which they provided us with without a problem. 20 mmm walk from Ballstad centrum and from the hike to Nonstinden. We also used the sauna which was very nice.

A total rip-off! Not worth it

The setup of this place is extremely uncomfortable. The bed is placed literally in the kitchen, a tiny, unventilated space with no extractor fan, so you’re forced to sleep with the smell of everything that’s been cooked. There’s barely any space to wash dishes or even move around. It’s suffocating. The sleeping arrangements are absurd: bunk beds that require mountaineering skills to climb, and another bed placed in the hallway leading to the bathroom, meaning whoever sleeps there is right next to where everyone goes to the toilet. On top of that, the beds aren’t even made when you arrive; you have to do it yourself. The whole flat is worn-out, the furniture is old, and everything feels neglected. It’s falsely advertised as a budget option, but it costs nearly 200 euros per night in July, outrageous for such a terrible setup. To make it worse, you’re charged extra to use the shared washing machine. If you don’t want to clean the place yourself before leaving, they charge 50 to 70 euros for “cleaning” a space the size of a shoebox. To sum up: the space is cramped, poorly ventilated, and not worth the high price. It feels neglected and far from what’s advertised. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Good value, great hosts.

Very welcoming hosts. They gave fresh fish to us when the boat returned in the evening. Delicious. Hope to get back one day.

It was basic but it has all the things I need. Good price and a great location.

It's a nice location very quiet except for a few cars passing but very rare. You can’t hear it from the inside.You a nice direct view of the fjord from your window.

It's not really that clean. It has a ‘clean as you go’ policy which is fine, but I hope if the previous user did not clean they have to make sure that it is clean for the new clients.

Charming and comfortable

Simple and comfortable cabin with everything we needed to cook a meal, hang out, and enjoy the area. The loft in the cabin was cute. Host was welcoming and helpful, providing recommendations for Ballstad. A little different than a hotel room- just tidy up the cabin before departing.

Very bad cleanliness Breackfast was not included

Friendliness of the host

Everything is down to the bare minimum. we found out that we had to make our own bed and there were not shower gel/shampoo provided. We stay at 4 different places in Lofoten. This was the most expensive one but of least quality.

Old fashioned, mainly a caravan place.

Clean, big room but old fashioned furnished, back to the 70ties! Good kitchen facilities. Good for a family, not a couple. Very nice and helpful personnel.

Only bunker beds in the room. Location outside of Ballstad. It's mainly a camping spot with many caravans.

Quattro giorni a Ballstad

Presenza di un comodo parcheggio vicino all'alloggio. Zona tranquilla con vista sul porto. Personale disponibile. Spazi adeguati per trascorrere qualche notte.

Cucina spoglia, dotata solo di stoviglie essenziali. Lavello con tubatura sporca. Letto con presenza di capelli e peli vari. Divano sporco e quindi poco utilizzabile. Scarico della doccia lento. Sostanzialmente la struttura è un bungalow.

Un buon soggiorno vista mare

La signora che gestisce gli alloggi è stata molto cortese e per la seconda notte ci ha offerto un rorbu molto spazioso ( con soppalco) davvero bello... senza alcun sovrapprezzo. Abbiamo davvero apprezzato!

Ovviamente i rorbu non sono hotel, quindi non bisogna apettarsi la pulizia di un hotel.

Séjour agréable.

L’emplacement est bien, la maison est grande pour 4 personnes avec 2 niveaux. La location du sauna est un plus. La possibilité de partir en mer avec le pêcheur est un autre plus.

La décoration de la maison est un peu « vieillo ». La vue sur le bras de mer est gâchée par les camping car devant la maison et la mer. Le sauna est horriblement chaud.
