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. ##### Jessie Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kenny 4 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities 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. ##### Kenny Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tsz ying 28 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a3f65d6e-ed17-4b46-b94e-c7fd2584c5eb-1764329699869.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/adeefa3f-c4a1-46c0-a849-de09e8e9fa3d-1764329699832.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79dc1dd7-5288-4eb4-8dc9-2a0003cc9e28-1764329699603.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5c1cca4e-495c-478c-9f43-e31e43c2db4e-1764329699904.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### tsz ying Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Srinibash 25 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything was very good about the stay. ##### Srinibash Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 12 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very cozy.

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. ##### Udo Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kauko 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Dinner oli erttäin hyvä, palvelu hyvä.

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. ##### Nina ### 8/10 Good #### Mira 17 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort 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. ##### Mira Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### DOMINIQUE 15 May 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ambiance sympa et décontractée.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 ---
