Lodge with rorbuer in Sørvågen

Klingenberg Rorbuer is a small group of rorbu cottages on Besselvågveien in Sørvågen, about 450 metres from the village centre on Kartverket's register. Booking.com shows 588 reviews and a score of 8.8.

Two layouts are offered: a traditional rustic cottage of 35 m² and a rustic cottage of 40 m². The bedroom data shows rooms of bunk beds and of twin singles. Each unit is on the ground floor and has its own entrance, a fireplace, a kitchen with oven, stovetop, dishwasher and fridge, a shower room, and a terrace with a mountain view; the listing also names sea views.

There is no reception. Stays are prepaid and a self check-in message comes the day before arrival, so guests can arrive any time after 15:00, which helps anyone off a late ferry. The host says the Moskenes ferry is 5.1 km away on foot, and that a bus runs between the cottages and the quay.

Why stay here

A rorbu with its own kitchen and fireplace, a flexible late arrival and a public bus to the Moskenes ferry. The long review record gives its 8.8 score more weight than most.
