Its a very nice compound. The room was huge, it was one flight uo so with luggage it was a bit tough. And the sheets and design is very basic for what you pay.. its a good hotel i believe it was too expensive for the room i received. So i believe raring depends on the amount you pay for your room and your expectations. We had dinner at their restaurant and lt was amazing!

The room 201 had an amazing location overlooking the bay. It was plenty big enough for our party of 3 and nicely laid out with comfortable beds and a balcony. The views of the bay were outstanding. It needs a bit of TLC though, chips out of the kitchen cupboards, fridge door not catching properly and the curtains in the living room didn’t meet in the middle which isn’t great when you have midnight sun. I was also a bit surprised to have to strip the beds before I left but it wasn’t a major thing.

Although we arrived very late, thanks to the clear instructions, we were able to self check in without any trouble and access the cabin we had requested in advance. Seeing the Northern Lights for the first time in our lives — right from our cabin — was absolutely thrilling and unforgettable. The location was excellent, and the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again.

We eventually ended up with a stunning cabin but were made to fight for it. We were initially given a cabin with absolutely no view and only after repeated back and forth with showing them the booking with pictures did they give us the right cabin. This wasted a lot of time which we were short on. So be aware that there are cabins with poor views and if you get this then this place is a waste of time. Else it could be spectacular.

Great place to stay!

We had a truly memorable stay at Svinøya Rorbuer. The location is stunning — surrounded by dramatic Lofoten scenery and close to everything I wanted to explore. The rorbu (fisherman's cabin) was roomy, beautifully maintained, and offered a perfect mix of comfort and tradition. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere made me feel welcome and at ease from the moment I arrived. I particularly appreciated the quiet setting and the views across the water. The sauna and four dips into the Arctic waters were amazing! Thank you to the Svinøya team for a wonderful experience — I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Lofoten Islands.

We used this place as a stopover on our way to Reine. It fulfilled that function. The cabin is designed more for a longer stay with a complete kitchen, dining area, etc. We had a view to the harbor which is not so picturesque (more industrial). But, all in all, a good stay.

The apartment was beautiful with gorgeous views of the harbor/area with vast ocean views as well. Dinner at their restaurant was outstanding, as was our server. We got to see the northern lights one night which made our day. The sauna was beautiful also, and right on the water to jump in for cold plunge. Constructive criticism: the young woman at the desk during our check in process was at times short, not as pleasant as she could have been. There should be napkins and/or paper towels with salt/pepper in the apartment - those small things really go a long way to giving a guest a more pleasant stay……

Not worth it if you can’t sleep comfortably

The cabin was lovely, scenery was picturesque, and check-in was a breeze… but these were the least pleasant nights of sleep I’ve had indoors in years. I get that Norway doesn’t normally need air conditioning, but global warming is real, the temps are only going to keep going up, and for these prices it’s not too much to expect the property to at least provide some fans.

Cabin was very clean and kitchen was well furnished with utensils and dishes. Well heated and good location. Biggest issue was that there was loud thumping music sound 11pm to about 2 AM both nights making it impossible to sleep until 2 AM. There were no shampoo/conditioner in any of the bathrooms and upon request they just provided one small kit. There was no iron in the room and upon asking, we were told that “if it’s not in the cabin/villa, then there is no iron.”! There was no phone to contact the reception and required going to the reception for any request/question.
