Guesthouse in Brekka, near Leknes

This is a homestay rather than a hotel: three private rooms let individually in one house on Hornsbakken at Gravdal, with the kitchen and the bathroom shared between guests. Booking.com lists it as Lofoten Light - Private Rooms with Shared Facilities, which is a fair description of the deal.

The smallest room is a 10 m² single with a shared shower and toilet. A double or twin of 12 m² takes two, and a 24 m² deluxe double or twin gives more space for the same two people; some rooms have a seating area with a sofa. Each room comes with linen, towels, a desk, a wardrobe and a socket by the bed, and all are on the ground floor.

Outside there is a garden, a picnic area and a sun terrace, with an inner courtyard to look on to. Bikes can be hired at the house — useful here, as Gravdal sits between Leknes and the beaches on the western side of Vestvågøy. Parking and WiFi are free. The guest score is 9.2 out of 10 from 89 reviews.

Why stay here

A cheap, sociable way to stay near Leknes with your own room, a kitchen you can cook in and bikes for hire at the door — and 89 reviews behind the 9.2 score, which is a lot for a house this size.

Who it’s for

Solo travellers, cyclists and anyone happy to share a bathroom and a kitchen in exchange for price and space. Not for a group wanting a self-contained house, and not for anyone who needs a cot or an extra bed.
