The location and the view from the chalet

The chalet has a kitchen but no water neither bathroom/toilets. This was not obvious when I booked and was surprise to learn it at check-in. In winter it can be a problem especially the morning when I got 30cm of fresh snow to clear before being able to go to the bathroom. The title "Chalet" should be changed into "Chalet Budget" to warn the people...

This was some of the best food we had in our month traveling throughout Norway! Excellent restaurant. And literally jaw-dropping views of mountains and sea - such a fabulous place to kayak, and our guide was amazing. Our cabin was very comfortable, if a bit dated, and could not have been in a better location (Beach House). I was initially hesitant about loving the place given the copious amount of trailers, but I ended up not even noticing them after the first day, and everyone was so polite and aware of others around them. I have never stayed in a place where there were more people and been less bothered by that fact, as the place itself is enormous, and can clearly handle the additional tents and trailers, on top of the cabins and cottages already there. Both my spouse and I enthusiastically recommend Skarungen to everyone driving the coast of Norway! Beautiful, perfectly located, fantastic food, and tons of activity for everyone. Try the spa if you feel inclined; we loved it, even the incredibly hot sauna during the hottest days in central Norway in several years.

The only bad experience at all was 1 front desk employee who consistently and insistently blamed my wife for a booking mistake made by the camp - "The only one at fault here, Madam, is you." (We were booked for kayaking and the spa at the same hour on the same day, and there were only 2 of us!) By the next day, after the problem had been sorted out, he changed his attitude and was fine - though he didn't apologize for being so rude. Anyway, just double-check any additional bookings you make and you'll be fine. This negative event did not change our review at all - as we still enthusiastically recommend Skarungen!

Very cozy hotel with amazing views all around. Our room was very comfortable and clean, quite large and well-decorated, and offered a great view. The breakfast was delicious, fresh and varied. We would really recommend the restaurant for dinner as well. The food was excellent and there is a nice selection of gin. We also really enjoyed the sauna experience with the beautiful view. The staff were always very helpful and friendly. Wi-fi worked very well.

Bathrobe and towels for the spa area should not be at an extra cost for hotel guests.

We had a sea/mountain view room in the hotel, which was nicely decorated. The room was not overly spacious, but had everything we needed and did not feel cramped. Location is an easy drive to Svolvær, Henningsvær, and some popular trails. We liked that flexibility to explore multiple towns. While staying in this area, we accessed the Tjeldbergtinden Loop trail easily, which we really enjoyed. We also loved the restaurant/lounge area. It was cozy, well-decorated, and had a great water & mountain view. They also offered some nice souvenir shopping in the reception area with products from local artists.

The dinner menu rotated daily, but the breakfast and lunch remained the same throughout our stay. Due to the weather, we ended up eating at the restaurant more than expected, so it would have been nice to have some different lunch options.

We stayed in the hotel in the campground which was above the reception area. It was a nice compact room and there was a good cafe and lounge downstairs where you could order dinner, have a beer or just relax in. We also used the campground kitchen facilities to cook which was very useful. Staff were great and the views are stupendous. Amazing location and fabulous fresh cinnamon buns at the cafe. You could also have a buffet breakfast if required.

Wifi was dicey in our room and there was no fridge. We did find one at the end of the hall on our floor though but someone turned up the cold and froze most of our stuff! Apart from that, it was all good.

I absolutely loved the 2 hour spa, we had to pay for it but it had amazing views of the mountains and it was so nice! The stay was comfortable and clean, relatively good location with supermarkets nearby. There is a bar with good beer, and a cafe downstairs. There is no cooking facilities though. The staff(who was from Sweden) was very friendly and gave me recommendations on hiking too! Overall I loved this stay.

There was a lack of cooking facilities, but that's okay. The beds were a bit too soft for our liking and I could not find the hair dryer.

Glamping tent experience was a top notch, despite the rather bad, rainy weather. Tent kept warmth inside with its heater and fireplace, plus the tent didn’t leak water through. Access to electricity inside the tent was also great feature! Brilliant choise for couples who seek a slight more romance and atmosphere for the trip. It’s so easy to simply enjoy your breskfast by your tent with glorious landscapes on horizon. Maybe coolest feature in the place was it’s spa. Sauna+Jacuzzi+Ocean swim combination couldn’t be more perfect way of how to end the day, eith mahnificent landscape on horizon.

Bed in the tent was rather soft. Im not very back-sensitive sleeper, but for soft spined people out there, take a note before booking tent sleepover

• Beautiful fjordside location with stunning mountain views • Stylish, clean design with large windows • Onsite café, private sauna & hot tub — a great treat before bedtime • Easy parking and check-in • Good option for a short overnight stay

• Super small bathroom — felt like we were in Tokyo! • No TV or sofa — basic and compact • No bath mat provided (seems to be the norm in Norway) • A bit pricey for the room size

It's a reliable accommodation that values its reputation 👌 Although our reservation in the system was not successful and we didn’t manage to stay in the glamping tent, the staff’s attention to the customer was top-level. Cooperation, communication and assistance were perfect – thank you, Santiago ❤️ By the way, the food in the restaurant is truly delicious👌😊

The seaside cabins have a great view of the water and mountains! I loved watching the herons fishing in the morning. The cabin is very clean and has a good kitchen, including dishwasher for those who want to cook. The location is perhaps midway between Henningsvaer and Solvaer so is a good location for touring the area as we did. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom although small, had a great hot shower and underfloor heating. We had a great view of the Northern Lights over the water. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Nothing!! The cabin was a little cold on arrival but heated up quickly enough.
