“GREEDY, AGGRESSIVE, BAD ORGANIZED”
On the afternoon of our departure we contacted reception to inform them that all ferries from Bodø had been cancelled due to severe weather and to ask whether a refund would be considered. The response was blunt: “No refund. It’s not our problem.” We arrived around 4 am in the middle of a violent snowstorm, with near-zero visibility. The key had been left outside, but with no instructions they said they d have sent the day before. A handwritten A4 sheet was barely readable, constantly blown by wind and snow. Only by pure chance did we discover a fire escape at the back of the building that allowed us to get inside. When we finally reached the room, it was freezing. The window had been left partially open and the heating was completely off. We had no choice but to sleep fully dressed. Breakfast was advertised as available until 10:00. At exactly 10:00, staff abruptly removed all food while guests were still serving themselves. By 10:03, everything was gone. At check-out, I explained the issues, hoping for at least some acknowledgement of the situation for their future. The manager reacted in a hostile and aggressive manner, becoming defensive, slamming her fist on the table and ordering us to leave. This level of aggression, combined with total lack of communication, assistance and basic empathy, is unacceptable anywhere, but particularly serious in an isolated location where common sense, safety awareness and support should be a minimum standard.

“Excellent small hotel in a beautiful location”
Location of this hotel at the head of the estuary is lovely. I stayed in the corner room with 3 windows looking out at 2 angles of the estuary. Great views. Free parking at the hotel. Comfy bed looking out at the estuary. Shower hot and strong with quality products. Only 10 rooms. Breakfast choice excellent.

“Beautiful location, rooms were very well presented and furnished tastefully”
The location was perfect, a 5 minute walk from the bus stop. The room had an amazing view from the large windows of the water and colourful houses, just beautiful. We had an early start and didn't have breakfast however staff arranged a packed breakfast which was lovely. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend a stay here.
