Guesthouse in Sørvågen

Booking.com files this as a hotel, but what is on offer is a double room in a house at Sørvågen, and the owner has confirmed in answer to a guest that the washroom is shared rather than private. Read it as a room in someone's home and the rest falls into place.

The room comes with a wardrobe, a microwave, a kettle, a dining table and a mountain view over the garden; towels, linen and toilet paper are provided, and the bathroom has a shower and a bath. WiFi is free. Parking is on site but is charged for, which is unusual this far down the E10.

Arrival runs from 15:00 to 22:00 and departure between 10:00 and 11:00. Pets are allowed, with charges possible. Parties are refused, and neither cots nor extra beds are available. The guest score is 6.7 from nine reviews, the lowest in this group of places.

Why stay here

A cheap bed within walking distance of the Moskenes ferry and the end of the road at Å, with a pet allowed and a kettle and microwave to save on eating out.

Who it’s for

One or two people travelling light and on a budget, who do not mind a shared washroom and a room rather than a self-contained unit — and who are driving with a dog, since pets are taken here and refused by most of the neighbours.

Things to consider

The washroom is shared, which the listing does not say in its facilities but the owner states in reply to a guest's question. Booking.com classes the property as a hotel and gives the room as 140 m², a figure that can only describe the building rather than the room. There is no kitchen, only a microwave and a kettle, parking is charged for, and no cot or extra bed can be added. At 6.7 from nine reviews, the score is the weakest of the Sørvågen lettings covered here.
