Staff were incredible - super friendly and helpful, more so than anywhere else we stayed all trip, they really made the stay for us.
A few small maintenance issues, like the showers kept seeming to clog which meant there was often only one available on our floor - but this was probably the extent of our issues.
Big, comfortable bed in our private room. Room was much bigger than we expected. Great to have access to laundry facilities and a well equipped kitchen (kitchen is small, but they’ve done a good job with what they have). All in all, a great budget place to stay in the Lofoten Islands. Great vibe, lovely staff.

Friendly staff and volunteers.

NOTE:

The kitchen is only open from 8am-10pm. The door is locked after these hours making it extremely inconvenient for those who wake up early for a morning hike or those who arrive late and want to prepare a meal. You cannot access your own food when locked and there are no alternative fridges in the hostel. There are no exceptions.

The laundry is only open from 4pm. You are unable to do any washing in the morning. There are no exceptions.

If you decide to bring alcohol, you are not permitted to store it in the fridges in the kitchen. There are no other fridges for storage.

They don't like their patrons to consume alcohol within the hostel and ask that it is consumed outside by the lake. Not sure how this works during inclement weather conditions.

There is no 24hr common area with other fridges or kettle.

If you decide to do your washing, you must pay a fee for this. They will ask you to tip them upon payment.

If you decide to use the Cafe, they will ask you to tip them, once again.

This is not a budget friendly hostel.

Decent and clean apartment but it was different to the one in the photos that we booked. It was clean. Only annoying bit was the bathroom drain was blocked and there was no dish soap. Overall, great location to see the northern lights and cute surroundings with a lake at 100m.

Liked the lakeside location and coziness. Stayed in one of the double bedrooms 3 nights. Everything was good but there are signs letting you know of quiet times due to noise carrying throughout the building very easily. Unfortunately, not everyone adhered to the quiet times and I was woken up multiple times throughout my stay with people moving around, talking, and slamming doors. Something to consider if you’re a light sleeper.

Veldig fint hostel, sjarm, hyggelige ansatte, god seng med mykt sengetøy, romslig rom, god frokost, lunsj og middag. Renhold hver dag på felles bad. Selvsagt noen som ikke er så flinke til å rydde etter seg, derfor veldig ålreit at renhold er innom. Er ganske lytt mellom rommene. Men ellers en veldig bra opplevelse.

Since it was a late check-in, I didn't get to meet the staff, but they were really thoughtful and left the notes and room key in the check-in box outside the café.

The cottage for four was super spacious and had that cozy cabin vibe, but the heating inside wasn’t quite enough. There’s a nice terrace, but with all the snow, they hadn’t cleared it, so we couldn’t open the door to enjoy the view.

One cool thing is that they have a shared space for guests to chill and mingle. Plus, there’s a sauna nearby where you can relax in a comfy, quiet environment and even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Im Prinzip ist die Unterkunft in Ordnung, mit ein paar kleinen Investitionen (z. B. ein ordentlicher Wasserhahn im Bad, eine Lüftung im Bad, in der Küche ein wenig mehr Sauberkeit) wäre es eine richtig tolle Unterkunft. Versprüht, vielleicht ist das aber auch so gewollt, sehr viel Backpacker-Charme. Trotzdem wir haben uns bei Euch wollgefühlt, Ihr seid gute Gasgeber. Das Essen bei Euch war sehr lecker.

Tolle, ruhige Lage direkt am Wasser. Viele Aktivitäten direkt vom Hostel.
Süßes Café und allgemeine Räumlichkeiten.

In unserem Appartement war teilweise etwas wenig Platz für 4 Leute, z.B. war der Esstisch extrem klein.
Ein paar mehr Geschirrhandtücher wären als Ausstattung ganz gut, wenn man länger als 2 Tage dort bleibt.

Alles in allem eine sehr schöne und preiswerte Unterkunft, vor allem für die Lofoten. Man darf natürlich nicht mit Hotels vergleichen. Es ist und bleibt ein Hostel.

Olimme kaksi yötä, hostelli sijaitsi ihanassa ympäristössä! Kierrätys huomioitu ja tarpeellisia asioita löytyi retkeilijän näkökulmasta mm kuivatushuone ja vaatteiden pesumahdollisuus. Vessoja ja suihkuja oli mielestämme liian vähän nähden yöpyjien määrään hostellissa. Huoneessamme oli lavuaari missä voi pestä hampaat ja ottaa vettä.

Elsker dette stedet!

Vi har hatt det så fint på Furu! De ansatte er så hyggelige og yter alltid det lille ekstra. Vi var i utgangspunktet skuffet å høre at kafeen skulle holde stengt etter sommersesongen, og at det ble servert \"familie-middag\" og \"enkel frokost\" istedenfor. Men! det hadde vi ikke trengt å bli. Maten var fantastisk på alle måter! De har også veldig god vin og øl.
Setter veldig pris på at de holder seg til vegetar/fiskeretter og til lokal-produsert mat.

Rommet var veldig koselig. Det er et gammelt bygg så det er litt lytt, men de andre gjestene tok stort sett hensyn.

Badene var delt, men alltid rene. De virket til å sjekke de hver morgen og kveld.

De ansatte var enormt hjelpsomme med alt. De kom med anbefalelser på hvor å reise, gå på tur, padle og mer. Og tok hensyn til våre matallergier.

Hele hostellet har en fantastisk vibe og vi har storkost oss med kvelder foran peisen mens vi ble kjent med både andre gjester og ansatte, med å henge på spillrommet og med å sitte ved innsjøkanten og se på solnedgangen (pluss i boka for badstua med nydelig utsikt ved innsjøen).Det er mange flotte sitteplasser ute rundtom hostellet.

De har virkelig øye for detaljer her og det er småting som gjenbruksgarderoben, oppfordring til å la skoene stå ved inngangen og gå sokkelessen, tilgang til brettspill og et lite felleskjøkken som gjør at man føler seg hjemme med en gang. De har en flott natur-basert estetikk og setter helt tydelig pris på sin \"community\":

Vi gleder oss til å komme igjen!

Vi opplevde veldig hyggelig og behjelpelige betjening. Lokalitetene er enkle, men i koselig hyttestil. Alt er reint, pent og ordentlig. Sengene er gode. Eneste minus måtte være litt trafikkstøy for vi lå med vinduet åpent. Fredags-Taco middagen må nevnes. Den var fantastisk.

En god overnatting til fornuftig pris

Et hyggelig sted med vennlig personale og god frokost (til en fornuftig pris/tillegg). Ikke veldig støyisolert, så man hører folk på gangen/badet hele natten. God plassering mellom Leknes og Henningsvær, nært veien og med gode parkeringsforhold (fikk lade elbil på vanlig støpsel). Husk at dette er et hostel, så man skal ha litt lavere forventning enn for et hotell - men det var veldig koselig. Hovedsakelig yngre personer som tok inn her. Bildene var rommene på nettsiden er ikke helt riktig, vi fikk et mindre rom enn forventet (litt trangt).
