Really easy check in, newly renovated cabin, very comfortable bed, quiet with lovely views and surrounds. My only suggestion for improvement would be for more comfortable chairs on the outdoor deck - the existing picnic bench is not consistent with the comfort and standard of the cabin.

Convenient location and historical house
Convenient distance to the main bus stop in Å of Lofoten. Good restaurant. A historical fisherman house. Smell of paint probably due to newly painted.

The Lofoten Islands are magical. I had always wanted to stay at this location in Moskenes for months and never had the chance. I arrived at 7:50 p.m. Their communication stated the front desk/reception would be open until 10 p.m. When i arrived not only was no one at the front desk/reception but no where on the property. I hunted for anyone and had to even ask for assistance from other guests. It was freezing cold with my parents having to wait in the rental car. An hour later, I found some construction workers who were helping renovate the hotel who knew the manager and called him/her. The saddest part of this entire saga was there was no apology or acknowledgment that they failed one of their customers. There are plenty of other properties in Moskenes that i would recommend before ever staying here again.

Thank you for choosing Å Rorbuer. We are happy to hear that you had a wonderful holiday. We have chosen not to do breakfast buffet due to the COVID19 sitution. We understand some other hotels are offering this but we strive to promote a healthy and safe environment for all our guests and staff in every way possible.

Great fishing cabin experience in Lofoten
Located in a very small and quiet town. Cabin was cosy and clean, comes with a small kitchen to prepare meals. Views were excellent. However, parking at the premises was iffy if you are allocated the furthest cabin with a very narrow driveway, especially with the snow during winter. We had to park quite some distance away to avoid encroaching or blocking other private properties.

Å is at the end of the road, a town being turned into an example of an old Norwegian fishing village. The location is stunning. The rooms are in old fishing huts that have been converted to rooms - ours, the smallest - was perfect. Living room, bathroom, and bedroom. All spotlessly clean. Kitchenette had a refrigerator, cooktop, sink, and a hotpot for boiling water for tea. There is a restaurant that is part of the hotel serving breakfast and dinner. Food was fine. The reception is in the Brygge Restaurant. Staff were friendly. And you need to visit the bakery.

I stayed for a week in one of their cabins. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The cabin and the property was clean. One thing to understand is that there was a lot going on in and around the property. There is a hostel on the property that draws a lot of young backpackers from around the world. And there is an RV campground next door that draws a lot of vacationing families from throughout Europe. There is also facilities for fishermen who are coming and going with their haul. I didn’t find these things off-putting; I met many interesting people. There is a convenience store and a charming old bakery across the road. It was fantastic. The restaurant on the property is delicious, offers fresh fish and beer, and stays open until 11 (23:00 —late for Lofoten). The only criticism I have was that the seagulls never shut up all night and would land with a thud on the cabin’s tin roof and that the blackout shades were not good. I will definitely stay there again.

Great Location & Cool Community
This little fishing village of Å is a perfect home base for Lofoten exploration. There is a restaurant and very friendly staff at this particular set of cabins that truly made the experience much more welcoming. The cabin itself was warm, well equipped, and had good wifi! I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, but frustrating
Lovely, comfortable, and extremely clean accommodations. The staff is friendly; however, we were not informed that our unit did not have working internet prior to, or during, check in. This would have allowed us to stay somewhere else. Due to limited data left on the cell plan we purchased, this was an issue.

Dear Sheryl, thank you for the feedback. We are sorry the temporary technical issue with our wifi spoiled your otherwise good impression of our place. This issue was only temporary and was resolved within 24 hours but unfortunately it was too late for you. We are sorry that due to high occupancy we could not change your cabin.

Fin rorbu og fint sted.
Fin rorbu, fint sted og 10 minutter å kjøre til Moskenes og fergen til Bodø. Synd at restaurangen var stengt, men forstår at det ikke lønner seg å holde åpent når det er få gjester. Savnet noen teposer og kanskje et glass med pulverkaffe i rorbua. Og en eske med fyrstikker.

»Slitne» rorbuer til drøy overpris!
Stedet Å er idyllisk. Det betyr ikke at vertskap kan lene seg helt tilbake. Rorbuene her er skikkelig «slitne» og trenger en real oppgradering - dette var ikke verdt 5.000 for 3 netter - helt forkastelig! Vi var ventet, men ankom til en iskald, bitteliten hytte - hva med å skru på panteloven i forkant? Det er dessuten ikke gjort noe for å gjøre det koselig innendørs - kun 1 Liten stålampe virket. Vi anbefaler ingen å bestille her! Det ble et trist opphold
