Dubbelrum Værøy

A place to sleep on Værøy at all — the island has few beds, and this one sits a kilometre from the heliport with a kitchen you can use and a barbecue in the garden. Booking.com's 80 reviews make it one of the better-attested stays on the outer islands.

Walkers and birdwatchers heading for Værøy who want a room rather than a whole house, and do not mind sharing a bathroom and a kitchen with the other guests. Children of any age can stay and family rooms are listed, but no cot or extra bed can be added.

The bathroom, the kitchen and the lounge are shared, not private to your room, and the upper floors are reached by stairs only. No internet service appears anywhere on the listing, so do not count on WiFi — ask before booking if you need to be online. No cot or extra bed can be added, pets are refused, smoking is not allowed and parties are not permitted. Værøy is an island reached separately from the Lofoten mainland road, and the listing names only the heliport, 1 km away; check the ferry or helicopter timetable before you fix your dates.

Two rooms are let. The Double Room measures 22 m² and has two beds; the Large Single Room measures 24 m² and has one. Interconnecting rooms are available. The bathroom is shared and has a walk-in shower, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper, and the toilet is shared as well. Rooms are carpeted, with air conditioning, heating, a clothes rack, a socket beside the bed and linen. Booking.com publishes no maximum occupancy for either room.

The upper floors are reached by stairs only. The shared bathroom has a walk-in shower; no other accessibility equipment is named on the listing.
