Easy to park but also within walking distance to town. Shower pressure is great. Two bathrooms make things convenient. Not the most clean judging by the bedding and me start coughing (dust allergy) but not too bad to affect the overall experience. Would recommend for Lofoten experience."

8/10 Good
"Clean and modern cabins with very beautiful views. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Plenty of parking available in autumn although I think summer it might be packed. Cabins facing the water is well worth it. If you have got good luck with the weather, you may be able to catch the northern lights or even milky way from the balcony as the location is fairly dark. It would probably be even better if they turn off the remaining orange lights at midnight. There is a sauna that you can reserve for private use and what also appears to be a bbq pit (but i assume nobody uses them in autumn when it was cold). This place is within walking distance to Offersøykammen Trailhead."
