“Excellent accommodation with a beautiful view, great location, perfect cleanliness, and a very kind and helpful host — h”
Our stay in Norway was excellent, and the accommodation played a major role in that. We were absolutely satisfied with everything. The property was fully equipped and had everything we needed. The view was beautiful, all areas were spotlessly clean, and the location was very convenient. Despite the cold weather, the accommodation had excellent heating, including the bathroom, which made our stay very comfortable. There was also free parking, which was very practical. The host was extremely kind and helpful, responding immediately to any questions we had. When I was looking for a hairdryer in the bathroom we were using, he bought a second one without hesitation, which really impressed us. We highly recommend this place. We fell in love with Norway, and this accommodation made our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely choose it again!

“Great place to stay while hiking/exploring Lofoten”
The location is great for hikes, Leknes is close-by even with a bus so lots of connections can be made to other parts of Lofoten, and Ballstad is a nice and quiet town. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils and tools, and spacious, the fridge and cabinets provide ample place to store stuff, and the coffee machine was great. The views are amazing from both our room's windows and the common area's windows. Also, the blinds worked well on our windows to keep the light out - a first for us in Lofoten.

“It has a great stay”
I stayed 28 nights here. The place has been taking very good care. When I started to look at this place I saw people’s review saying the rooms don’t have mirrors. There is only one wash room for all 5 room guests.. but when I got here, they all improved. The hosts really take the feedbacks seriously. Simply the view from your own window is priceless. There is a nice balcony where the birds often stopped by. There is a hiking trail near by where you can go up and over look the islands. You shouldn’t miss Uttakleiv beach which is not far and personally I think is the best in Lofoten.

“Lovely town, helpful host, good accommodation. I can only recommend this place!”
The location is really good in Lofoten. It was clean, we got the new room, the kitchen's well eqiupped, parking is easy in front of the house. If you use the bus, the stop is just right in front of the house. They have washing machine and a dryer which you can use whenever you want. We stayed for 7 nights here and it was very useful! We had a really great experience here!

“Wonderful view from room!”
The view is amazing from the room, like a painting! Nice basic room and shared bathroom is nice, clean and new. It was awesome having a washer and dryer for free! A big plus! Common areas like the living room and kitchen were also very nice and had great views. Free parking also a plus! I never met the hosts personally, but they responded quickly and check in was easy. Work is being done on the place at this moment and they were kind and explained ahead of time about it.

“Comfortable stay in a beautiful location!”
We had a really lovely stay at the Fish Factory. Communication with the host is great! The view from the window was absolutely amazing! The room is clean, but still undergoing works - there were no light in the ceiling, just the cables. But it had a desk lamp and that was more than enough to light the room for what we needed. The bed was comfortable, with clean and fresh linen. The communal area is clean and cozy. The kitchen and bathroom are also clean. The smell from the fish outside didn't bother us at all. As it is definitely part of the experience. And to be honest, it didn't smell inside the property. Only outside. And you will find that smell all over Lofoten :) Definitely recommending it and we would stay there again for sure!
