Even as a last-minute booking with no prior check-in instructions, our arrival at Gulbrakka Basecamp was incredibly smooth. One of the hosts was outside to greet us immediately, offering a warm welcome and a thorough tour of the facilities, pointing out everything we needed. She even thoughtfully prepared a brew of her favorite tea, which was waiting for us in the shared kitchen with a lit candle as soon as we brought in our luggage – a truly lovely touch! Shortly after, the owner joined us and, with an inviting question about our time, proceeded to share the fascinating history of the place in the shared lounge area, which boasts a spectacular view over the fjord. This storytelling session, a must-experience in person, really enriched our understanding and appreciation of Gulbrakka. To top it all off, he then encouraged us to try a traditional Norwegian sauna with a dip in the icy fjord, even providing special wetsuit-like shoes and extra towels. It was a completely new and exhilarating experience for both of us!

Honestly, there was nothing we didn't like about our stay; we loved every aspect of it!

The last place I expected to find a room with almost a Peaky Blinders vibe was in northern Norway, tucked between the fjords. This was probably the most tastefully designed room I’ve ever stayed in – incredibly cozy, tidy, and spotless. Bonus points for the sauna, and what made it even better: we could stay in the room with our dog at no extra charge.

The bathroom was nice – clean and well-equipped. The only thing that could make it even better would be if it were divided into two separate areas with two individual showers.

This turned out to be the best place my family had, as we travelled 5000km across Norway and Sweden. - largely because of the wonderful host, Øyvind. He arranged a wonderful kayaking session in the fjord right in front of the basecamp, pointed us to beautiful sites around the area (waterfall, bathing area, dam), and guided us on the Svartisen glacier hike. Øyvind was very helpful, supportive and professional. Though Glonfjord is not as well-known as other fjords north and south of it, Øyvind had made this place very very special.

The kitchen could be better maintained, e.g. drawers cleaned, and better equipped e.g. with salad bowl etc. The co location of bathroom with laundry and toilet limits the use of each facility. Some partition may be helpful.

Unique service - the hostel owner helped me and other guests to get equipment that was lost or broken on a Saturday night for the next day! Coffee for us too, and nice talks, good advice for glacier views - not their fault that it was cloudy ;-) Very competent staff, they know everything about the region. Nice with the other guests too, everybody was planning different outdoor activities. 1a place of choice!

Only one sink - it's in the bathroom downstairs and everybody at the whole hostel has to brush the teeth there in the morning ;-) But otherwise supercozy rooms, kitchen, living room, so that's something we could live with.

We were in the pre-season (end of May) - three adults with dog - spontaneously looking for a cottage on a campsite. Unfortunately, all cabins in the area were fully booked due to weather conditions. The only accommodation in the area shown by Booking.com was still a triple room in Gulbrakka Basecamp. We decided to book without checking recommendations and when we arrived we were greeted very friendly by the houseowner, even got two rooms for the price of one and a free coffee to welcome us with a tour of the house. Two rooms for three adults with dog was a welcome change after a long trip. Although the street is close, the rooms are quiet and you can sleep with the window open if needed. The curtains completely darken the room, which also helps for restful sleep in areas of constant day and night brightness. It is quiet in the corridors with no loud music or the like, although all rooms were occupied. Each room has cleanly made beds and fresh towels. The shared bathrooms are clean with free hot showers, and two friendly cleaning ladies are coming daily in the morning for cleaning everything. The shared kitchen is fully equipped including fridge and there is a large shared living room with couches for relaxing. It is close to the start of the boats tour for the glacier hiking tour (about 25-30 min drive) and to the national park (about 10-15 min drive). As a conclusion it can be said that we unexpectedly got one of the best shared accommodations of our whole trip through Norway for a cabin price and that if we come to the area again for longer vacation we would definitely stay again in Gulbrakka Basecamp also longer term.

We really liked the concept of the accommodation. It was simple and clean. Great place for people who want to explore the beautiful surroundings. Moreover, you can book a kayak or glacier expedition on the spot. The owner was supernice, prepared to give an advice to every guests. We were going hiking in the mountains, the owner showed us interesting places on the map and even drove us through the tunnel to the place where the hiking trail starts. We can only recommend the place and looking forward to vome back one day.

Renovated old charm with history. Great mountain views from a very comfortable living room. Sauna is the best. Super feel, super value. Nastya was lovely and helpful at check-in. Owner loves the place. Amazing starting point for many outdoors adventures.

Nothing really.

Wonderful location with great views over the fjord. The staff were super friendly and helpful, putting the sauna on for us when we arrived wet from the rain. Also gave us some interesting stories and tips of things to see in the area. Could not recommend more - brilliant! We will be back when we are in the area again.

Very comfortable beds and linen. Hosts very lovely and friendly. I was surprised that they spoke portuguese. Very spacious doble shower which lets the couple to shower at same time reducing occupancy in the wc. Good location and viwes.
