Rorbu in Stamsund, near Leknes

Burekka 19 is in Stamsund, 792 m from the settlement point Kartverket registers. Booking.com calls the building a rorbu — the fisherman's cabin the Lofoten coast is built out of — rates it three tiles and records views of the sea and the mountains.

The number to weigh before booking is the floor area: 34 m². Into that go three bedrooms, one holding a single bed, one holding two single beds and one holding a single bed, plus a sofa bed in the living room. Booking.com sells it for six, which would be six people in the space of a large studio. There is one shower room with a hairdryer in it, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, microwave, fridge and kettle.

No one has reviewed it yet, so there is no score to lean on.

Why stay here

A rorbu in a working fishing village rather than a resort version of one, with sea and mountain views, its own entrance, parking outside and a dishwasher in the kitchen. Stamsund is the Hurtigruten call on the southern side of Vestvågøy.

Who it’s for

Two to four people who want a rorbu address and will treat the third bedroom and the sofa bed as spare rather than standard. Six in 34 m² would be very close quarters.

Highlights

  • Semi-detached rorbu at Burekka in Stamsund
  • Three bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the living room, in 34 m²
  • Kitchen with dishwasher, oven, stovetop and microwave
  • Sea and mountain views recorded on the listing

Things to consider

Thirty-four square metres is small for the six the rorbu is sold to, and the bedrooms hold single beds rather than doubles — there is no double bed anywhere in the listing. One bathroom serves the lot. No guest reviews have been posted, so there is no rating to go on. NOK 2,000 is held on a credit card as a refundable deposit when you arrive, and repaid within seven days of check-out once the rorbu has been looked over. Check-in runs 16:00 to 21:00 with your arrival time given ahead, check-out is by 11:00, and quiet is asked for between 23:00 and 07:00. Pets are refused and no cot or extra bed can be added.
