The 10 best Specialty lodgings in Northern Norway, Norway

April 29, 2023 Janean Rudisill

Home to both the midnight sun (with constant daylight from April to July) and the northern lights, North Norway is a rugged land of steep mountains, deep fjords and scenic coastline, making it a great place for outdoor adventures like dog sledding, snowmobiling and wildlife safaris. It's also the ancient home of the Sami people, 3,000 of whom live (along with 100,000 reindeer) at Kautokeino, Norway's largest municipality at over 3,700 square miles.

Super unique and amazing experience!

Staying at the Snowhotel is such an incredibly unique experience! I highly recommend it! The staff are amazing and make your experience super personalized. I stayed one night in an ice room and one night in a cabin! The dogsledding tour was so much fun… same with the king crabs (I don’t think I have ever tasted crabs that good in my life)! The cabin was beautiful with an awesome view and super clean. The ice room has shared facilities in the main building just s short walk away from the ice area (it is attached to the the ice hotel so you don’t have to walk outside). They give you a sheet and a sleeping bag and I slept 8+ hours and never felt cold! Breakfast and dinner are provided and the food was excellent! If you are looking for a super unique experience it is definitely worth the trip!

Lofoten Cottages

Zauberhaft!

Reviewed By Tripxena

Sehr charmante Unterkunft im Stil der alten Fischerhäuser. Wir hatten die Nummer 14. Sie ist wahnsinnig liebevoll eingerichtet. Kochfeld mit Induktion. Küche ich gut ausgestattet. Terrasse direkt am Wasser. Das ganze Dorf wird im Retrostil gehalten und hat somit einen ganz eigenen Flair. Einzig die Matratzen waren etwas sehr weich.

Selling rorbu as Solsiden brygge at other location

Reviewed By p_lmartine2021

My extended family went last week to Ballstad and Solsiden brygge for a rorbu vacation. One of the purpose was to be United at the same premeses/ location. During the check in the staff started to explain how to find our rorbu by car in a another part of Ballstad. I said this is a mistake. We have order a rorbu at Solsiden brygge, then the staff explained how impresis and how limited information i had been through as a preperation. In addition i had also been order through Booking.com and then i was responsible for everything by myself. I didn’t understand Solsiden brygge was some kind of a Airbnb aggregator i Ballstad. If I was aware of that i would used another company or order direct in Airbnb myself. I informed the Owner how dissatisfied i was and they offer us a hot tub for the evening.as a compensation.This is the reason way the rating not ended with 1

Beautiful ‘end of the World’ feeling

Reviewed By SarahZelma

Just had a day trip and drove out to the end of Kjerringøy just to discover this pearl of a place. Had coffee and ice cream and popcorn. Very friendly staff. Makes such a difference to get a welcoming feeling. Worth a visit if you’re on the island. (Be aware, Very narrow driving path getting out there. )

Enkelt og greit hotell

Reviewed By 194christoffer_

Oppholdet og hotellet var som forventet. Digital inn og utsjekk fungerte veldig bra. Ingen tv på rommet, men er ikke alene om dette i lofoten. Mye av tiden ble brukt utendørs likevell. Enkel standard, ingen frokost og var slik som forventet i forhold til prisklassen. Er du ute etter et enkelt, kjapt opphold uten å stresse med inn/utsjekk i resepsjon er dette hotellet for deg :)

F2 Hotel

Cheap and it shows

Reviewed By klenoth

Staying here cause it was the only Hotel thaat was availible in Harstad for the weekend. The stay is sort of cheap but no Break fast or reseption. So it should be cheap. Empty soap dispensers and a non functional TV. Dirty windows and generally worn out room. Price is low but with no service what so ever it is bad.

Kafe Friisgarden

Affascinante soggiorno

Reviewed By Andrea A

il Kafe Friisgarden si trova in un antico edificio di legno a due piani sulla strada principale. Il proprietario riconosce la prenotazione senza esitazione, ci accoglie calorosamente e ci mostra le stanze. I pavimenti e le scale in legno scricchiolano, per passare attraverso alle antiche porte occorre abbassarsi, le stanze sono spaziose ed essenziali, nulla di supefluo, ma tutto ben pulito e con biancheria che profuma di pulito. Il servizi sono in comune e anch'essi essenziali, un po' come in rifugio alpino. Nei corridoi e nei locali comuni, tante fotografie che ritaggono scene di vita e di pesca alle Lofoten. Il tempo sembra scorrere più lentamente, ci si può veramente rilassare e dopo cena passeggiare sino alla grande e bianca spiaggia illuminata d'estate dal sole di mezzanotte. Da non perdere !
