Skottinden Panorama Lofoten

Two bathrooms to three bedrooms is rare at this size, and the apartment sits 200 m from the middle of Ballstad with free parking, a fitted kitchen and the sea in view from the terrace.

A family or two couples — the apartment takes seven at most — and Booking.com tags it as having family rooms. Walkers get a drying rack, a washing machine and Skottinden on the doorstep. Stairs are the only way to the upper floors, and children from four are charged as adults.

Check-in is from 17:00 to 23:30 and check-out by 10:00. No cot and no extra bed can be added, and children from four pay adult rates. Booking.com publishes a maximum of seven guests although the five beds it lists, a large double and four singles, come to six places, so ask where the seventh would sleep. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. Quiet hours run from 22:00 to 08:00; smoking, parties and pets are all refused. The 9.0 score comes from 12 reviews.
