Eliassen Rorbuer

10/10 Excellent
"Loved this location; the views are jaw dropping. The Rorbuer had the basics for cooking. Would have liked a couple extra blankets/pillows, but it accommodated our needs. I liked the proximity to a grocery store, ferry, and the Reinbringen hike. There is a laundry self-service on site, but only one washer and one dryer ($10 USD per machine). Check in instructions were very clear and easy, there is free parking on site. We didn't opt in for the included breakfast, but there was a nice, small bakery on site but like most things in Lofoten, didn't open until 8am. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Lofoten."
