Le salon tout en bois avec les grandes baies vitrées et le poêle. L'arrêt de bus à 5 min à pied et la gentillesse du personnel.
C'est super propre et la cuisine est vraiment fonctionnelle, de même que la laverie! C'était parfait !

The location is amazing and the common areas were great, except for one of the kitchens where the stove stopped working. Nice fireplace and cozy.
We got a last minute cancellation for one of the nights. They managed the booking and helped us to arrange it. The room was a bit small for 4 people.

Very clean and nice room in a beautiful location with reindeer at your window. Communication with staff very good. Clean shared kitchen with everything you need at hand ( dishwasher included ).

Definitely exceeded my expectations. The room was bright, spacious and looked very new. The shared living room was big but with a very cosy vibe. The shared kitchen very complete. The location perfect, just off the main road and you could walk down to the water with a small beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
With everything exceeding my expectations, only the shower disappointed a bit. No way to change the height nor direction of the showerhead, and no way to change the temperature.

I really like the cozy style of lobby. Rooms are also cozy and comfortable. The service is the most kind. I can recommend this place :)
Maybe just the noise from air-condition

I really enjoyed the spirit of this place during my short stay. It was so different than in Tromso, where I came for business. Don't expect luxury, though. In terms of accommodation standards, it's just a decent place to relax after a long day in Norwegian nature.
Somebody drank my beer stored in the common fridge, leaving only the empty can. I was looking forward to drinking that beer all day long. ;-) Fortunately, I bought another one in Joker prior to driving back to Skoghus, which was a good decision...

Very clean facility with super friendly staff. I purchased breakfast at the facility. It was super convenient and delicious.
I wish the shower head was attached to a hose (instead of being fixed to the wall)

Surprisingly tidy resort with a shared kitchen and lounge. The common quarters were very spacious and the room was large enough for the three of us. Good location to travel around Senja.
6.0
convenient for visiting Senja.
good breakfast in a room with a good view (however, you've to pay extra for breakfast :-( )
very very basic: limited space and low-quality forniture; mattresses not hard enough, shower spilling water everywhere and flooding the floor;
the access road is not well-maintaned (fortunately it is only a short distance from the main asphalted road).
considering the overall experience, the quality/price ratio is below average with respect to other properties visited

Good location for a stop on Senja. This room was in an older building, but it was okay for the price. There is a shared kitchen and other shared areas.
The air in the room and building was pretty bad, somethings wrong with the air circulation or there is mold in the room. I was sneezing all the time while I was in the room, but outside was completely fine. I tried keeping the window open but it didnt help that much, and got too cold in the night.

Really big and well-equipped Vandrerhjem. Spacious and comfortable living-room area. Kitchen for everyone - also well-equipped. Nice rooms with own bathroom. We felt very well there!
9.0
Beautiful property with really spacious kitchen and common areas. Nice outside BBQ area (rugged) and very friendly staff. Located at the very start of the beautiful Senja region. The beds were soft and comfortable.
The wet-floor concept in the bathroom does not work well. The entite bathroom, including surrounding around the toilet is wet after every shower. We would strongly recommend to improve the shower arrangement. You also have no choice to select the water temperature - it’s set for you.
9.0
The bed really comfortable. WiFi great . Shared toilet and bathroom just across the hall. I really liked it.
My door didn't fit the door frame properly and so I elt like everyone in the building knew when i was coming and going with the banging.
