Rorbu in Henningsvær

Rorbuleilighet Lysøya 1H is unit 1H at Banhammaren, at the edge of Henningsvær, and the Norwegian name says what it is: a rorbu apartment. Booking.com gives it three stars and 60 m².

What marks it out is the bedding. One bedroom is fitted with four bunk beds, the other with a bunk bed and two large doubles, and Booking.com counts seven beds in the apartment — far more than the floor area suggests. Two bathrooms serve them, with a shower, a hairdryer and towels. The kitchen has a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave, a kettle and kitchenware, and a washing machine is listed, with a terrace outside.

Booking.com publishes a maximum of seven guests, below the four and five its two bedrooms are separately capped at. It has told one guest that four adults and a seven-year-old could book the two-bedroom apartment.

Why stay here

A lot of beds in Henningsvær for the money, with two bathrooms, a kitchen, a washing machine and free parking in a village where parking is the usual problem.

Who it’s for

A group of friends or a party of families who do not mind bunks — a school-holiday layout rather than a couple's one. Two bathrooms help a crowd. Anyone wanting a sea view should note that this apartment, unlike its neighbours at the same address, does not list one.
