Guesthouse in Ballstad

Lofoten Overnatting rents three separate units from a house on Jacob Jentofts vei, in the fishing village of Ballstad on the south side of Vestvågøy. Two are small double rooms, 10 and 12 m²; the third is a 70 m² apartment with two twin bedrooms, a sofa bed in the living room and a view to the mountains.

Each unit is self-contained, with its own door and its own kitchen — an oven and stovetop, a microwave, a dishwasher, a fridge, a toaster and kitchenware — and there is a shared kitchen in the house as well. Bed linen and towels are put out, and a washing machine, tumble dryer and drying rack take care of wet outdoor kit.

The arrival window is the thing to plan around: nobody can check in before 18:00. Bicycles can be hired on site, and the WiFi was measured for the listing at 156 Mbps.

Why stay here

A 70 m² apartment with beds for five, or a cheap double room, each with a kitchen of its own, free parking outside and bicycles for hire — in a working village rather than a resort.

Who it’s for

  • Families

Self-caterers with a car who will be arriving in the evening. The apartment suits a family or a group of up to five; the two double rooms are small and basic and suit a pair passing through.

Highlights

  • Two-bedroom, 70 m² apartment sleeping five
  • A kitchen in every unit, plus a shared one
  • Free WiFi measured at 156 Mbps
  • Free private parking
  • Bicycle hire on site
  • Washing machine and tumble dryer

Things to consider

Nobody can get in before 18:00, and the window closes at midnight, so an early arrival has nowhere to leave bags; checkout runs to 12:00. The two double rooms are 10 and 12 m². Booking.com lists a private bathroom among the room facilities and a shared bathroom and toilet among the property's, without saying which unit gets which — worth asking before you book. Neither cots nor extra beds can be had, pets are not taken, and smoking and parties are both out. There is no car charger on site; the hosts send guests to the fuel station across the road.

The accommodation

Three units. A Double Room of 12 m² and a Standard Double Room of 10 m², each with two beds, and an Apartment with Mountain View of 70 m² holding two bedrooms of two single beds apiece plus a sofa bed in the living room, five sleeping places in all. Bathroom arrangements differ between units: both private and shared bathrooms appear on the listing.
