On my first trip (and it will not be the last) to Lofoten (a long week-end, 3 nights), I decided to treat myself to a stay in a rorbue and asked to have a small one with views both on the mountains and sea. The place was absolutely beyond my expectations. I got an amazing rorbue, which has everything you would wish for if you want to experience a typical fisherman cabin in the Lofoten (and my guess is that fishermen did not have so much comfort and amenities). It is super quiet, with outstanding views, and you can relax and cook all the food you want as the kitchen is well-equiped. It is a short walk from Svolvær sentrum and easily accessible. On top of that, the staff is very nice and welcoming. I did not want to leave, and I am already planning my next visit. Cannot wait.

During the trip, I was fortunate enough to stay in Svinøya Robuer. In these fisherman’s cabins I really felt at home and did not want to leave the place. ⠀ Cozy red houses in the capital of Lofoten Islands made me fall in love with the view of the snowy mountains and fishing boats slowly passing by in window frames. ⠀ In addition, caring personnel happily helped with any questions and made me feel like I was a part of a large Scandinavian family.

We stayed here 2 times in july. Really good location First in a Rorbue, cabin, which was really cozy and nice with kitchen, living room and clean. Last time we stayed at their suites which is a big house 4 apartments with view and with full kitchen. Also would recommend the restaurant Børsen in the same area. Would come again to this place

The cabins are extremely simple but for the price we paid. We expected basic comfort, but the kitchen lacks dish washer, so be prepared to dedicate your hollyday time and doing dishes. As a guest you are expected to empty the garbage, remove the bed linnens and take all the towels to the hallway. Pet friendly place, the area where the cabis are located has lots activities, but we wouldn't personally say that is a "must visit place".

Response from Camilla Haukås Skjeseth, Marketing at Svinoya Rorbuer
Responded 31 Jul 2020
Dear, We are really sorry to hear about your disappointment with our cabin. In our original cabins, we do not have a dishwasher, this is only available in our modern cabins (Rorbusuites). We ask our guests to take out the garbage and put the bed linens and towels to the hallway, just to make the cleaning job more effective. We are truly sorry that we did not live up to the expectations.. Hope you had a great time in Svolvær and Lofoten anyway! Best regards, Camilla H. Skjeseth SVINØYA RORBUER

We stayed in a “One-Bedroom Cottage.” It was nothing fancy and likely inline with a Rorbuer / fisherman’s cabin. I was a little disappointed in that our cottage had no view and really consisted of one building with two cottages sharing common wall in the living room. I expected a standalone building. We were there only one night after taking the Hurtigruten from Tromso and did not spend much time in the cottage. Parking was not a problem and it's a short drive to town, where we had dinner. The next day we hiked Fløya and drove to Reine for a couple nights. I thought other parts of the Lofoten were more scenic, however, Svolvaer is worth a night or two as it has a couple nearby attractions and hikes.
