Svinøya Rorbuer

Love the surrounding area. Location is far if you didn’t drive. Good for 6 person stay. More in home stay

😊Good hotel with best service. A lady at reception (sorry for not asking your name) was helping us carrying very heavy luggage to the room with high stairs. Sufficiency amenities and kitchen ware and dishwashing soap. Coffee, tea, cocoa with cookies serves in the morning with no extra charge. 🥹 only one door handle fell off but temporary fixable by ourselves.

Whilst this is a quirky place to stay , I’ve knocked this down to a two star as major flaws. In no particular order as they are all equally serious. Firstly - the rooms are scattered all over and in this cold temperature you would think someone would put grit down or shovel snow . There is so much ice on the slope up/down to the cabins and snow covering deep steps . This should be gritted on a daily basis. I’m surprised no one has broken a limb. Secondly - The shower is dangerous. You can put an anti slip Matt in the shower . It won’t cost you much at all . The shower leaks and so we have two major slip hazards . Thirdly - You are very cautious in specifying ingredients at breakfast, wheat and lactose ; however no one pointed out the nut bread . Are you trying to kill your guests. The cabins are very small and quirky, but please take into account when booking as the single beds are extra small and not big enough for curvy people like myself . The shower also has a tiny door way, so that was a bit of a squeeze too. If you are tall, then please be careful as the cabins are low. If you suffer allergies , please remember to bring anti histamines. The dust was so bad, my skin itched for several days . I kept the windows open to air the place out. Reception shuts at 4pm daily. Breakfast buffet - basic but edible For those late check ins - unless you have done a food shop before hand you will be disappointed as there is no access to water tea or coffee and the restaurant/bar is only available between 6pm and 9pm. I literally had to beg for a hot beverage when I arrived as there are no complimentary tea or coffee for new arrivals and if you are hungry then you will have to go without until breakfast is served at 8 am ONE HUGE POSITIVE - Those chefs are amazing . We are talking Michelin star quality and presentation. You are in the sticks a bit but it’s a 15 min walk across the bridge for a couple of restaurants or a short taxi ride which reception can arrange.
