Hostel in Sørvågen

What is booked here is a single room, not a building. The LOWFO House stands on Moskenesveien at Sørvågen, 181 m from the settlement Kartverket registers under that name, and lets several rooms separately; this listing is the Alfa Room. The house's own site describes it as a private room with shared use of the kitchen, the lounge and the bathroom, alongside a tiny house, a tipi and a whole-house option.

Booking.com records a shared kitchen and lounge, free WiFi throughout, private parking on site, and a room fitted with a TV, a fridge and a kitchen. A washing machine, a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave, a kettle and a dining table are on the facilities list, with mountain and garden views from the house.

The rules are strict for a hostel: children are not accepted, pets are refused and parties are not allowed. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 22:00 and check-out between 10:00 and 11:00.

Why stay here

A private room with the run of a shared kitchen and lounge, a couple of hundred metres from the middle of Sørvågen — a cheaper way into the far south-west of Lofoten than taking a whole house.

Who it’s for

Solo travellers, couples or a pair of friends, as the house's own site puts it, who are content to share a kitchen and bathroom with other guests. It will not suit families: children are not accepted at all.

Highlights

  • One private room in a shared house at Sørvågen
  • Shared kitchen and lounge for guests
  • Washing machine, dishwasher, oven and microwave on the facilities list
  • Free WiFi and private parking on site

Things to consider

Children are not accepted, and neither are pets. The bathroom and kitchen are shared with other guests, which the house's own site says outright. Booking.com's own figures do not hold together: the unit is called a Deluxe Quadruple Room and takes four guests by the maximum it publishes, yet it is listed at 180 m² — which reads like the floor area of the whole house — with only two beds recorded and no bedroom breakdown at all. Establish what you are booking before paying. Check-in closes at 22:00.

The accommodation

A single private room within the LOWFO House, sold on Booking.com as a Deluxe Quadruple Room with two beds, a maximum of four guests and an area of 180 m², which is more plausibly the house than the room. No bedroom breakdown is published. The house's own site describes the Alfa Room as a private room with shared kitchen, lounge and bathroom; Booking.com lists a shower, a toilet, towels and linen but does not mark the bathroom as private.
