Lofoten Planet
A small guesthouse at Sørvågen with five room grades, most sharing bathrooms, around a shared kitchen and lounge. It markets itself as a boutique hotel and runs retreats.
Lofoten Planet is a house at Åkerneset in Sørvågen with five grades of room and a set of shared spaces: a kitchen, a TV lounge, a terrace and a barbecue. Booking.com files it as a lodge and rates it 9.4 from 553 reviews, a high mark on a substantial number of stays.
The rooms are small, and the listing says which ones share a bathroom. A single of 6.5 m² and a double and twin of 9 m² each use shared bathrooms; a superior double of 20 m² has one of its own; and the 36 m² Lofoten Planet Suite takes four, with two super-king doubles and, the owners have confirmed, an electric stovetop of its own. A restaurant, a bar and family rooms are listed, one unit is recorded as entirely wheelchair accessible, and air conditioning appears in the room facilities.
Arrival is flexible: asked about a ferry from Værøy landing after midnight, the owners said a self check-in is possible and that the details are sent a few days ahead. They also confirm a washing machine and dryer on site, without powder, and charge NOK 250 to charge an electric car.
Why stay here
A place where you meet the other guests: a shared kitchen, a lounge and a terrace, with rooms priced from a 6.5 m² single upwards, at the end of the E10 where the walking starts from the door.
Who it’s for
- Couples
- Families

- Midnight sun
Solo travellers and couples who would rather have a shared kitchen and a low price than a private suite, and groups of four who can take the suite with its own kitchenette and bathroom. Children of four and over are charged as adults, and no cot or extra bed is offered.

Things to consider
Three of the five grades use shared bathrooms, and the rooms behind them are 6.5 to 9 m² — small even by guesthouse standards. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. Cots and extra beds are unavailable and children of four and over are charged as adults. Pets are not accepted. Booking more than two rooms brings different terms and supplements. Charging an electric car costs NOK 250, and the laundry is there but the powder is not.
