Last verified 16 September 2026

Holiday home in Bøstad, near Leknes

The address is the point of this one: 305 Slydalen, inland from Bøstad on northern Vestvågøy, with mountains, the river and the garden filling the windows rather than the sea. Booking.com lists skiing, cycling, fishing and hiking in the surrounding area and says the house has ski-to-door access.

Eighty square metres take three bedrooms — an extra-large double in each of two, and a bunk room — holding six people in all, with one bathroom and a shower between them. The kitchen has an oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge and kettle; a washing machine, a drying rack and a clothes rack deal with wet gear; and the living room has a fireplace and a sofa.

Arrival is late and departure early: check-in from 17:00 to 23:30, check-out by 10:00, and quiet hours that run until 09:00 rather than the usual 07:00. Children from the age of four are charged at the adult rate.

Why stay here

A whole house at the head of a valley behind Bøstad, with beds for six, a fireplace, a drying rack for soaked kit and hiking and skiing from the door.

Who it’s for

Walkers and skiers of up to six who want quiet and a fire at the end of the day, and who have a car. Not for anyone wanting a village or a sea view from the window, a cot, or a lie-in past 10:00.

  • Three bedrooms sleeping six
  • Ski-to-door access, per the listing
  • Fireplace and a sofa in the living room
  • Washing machine, drying rack and dishwasher
  • Garden, patio and terrace with mountain and river views

Things to consider

Check-in does not open until 17:00 and closes at 23:30, check-out is by 10:00, and quiet hours run from 23:00 to 09:00. Six people share one bathroom. Upper floors are reached by stairs alone. No cot or extra bed can be added and pets are refused; children of four and over are charged as adults. The owner has answered on the listing that no bicycles are kept for guests. Booking.com takes the payment on the property's behalf, so bring cash for anything extra. The listing does not say whether towels and linen are supplied.
