How much does it cost to stay in a rorbu in Lofoten?
Example prices, seasons and what is included.
Short answer
Rorbu prices in Lofoten depend on size, standard and season: Statles Rorbusenter in Mortsund, for example, lists its cabins at NOK 1,900 to 4,500. Its price list does not say whether this is per night, so check when booking. Nusfjord Arctic Resort includes breakfast, while Svinøya Rorbuer charges NOK 300 per person a day.
Why
- At Statles, a two-bedroom cabin with four beds is listed at NOK 1,900 in pre-season and NOK 2,100 in main season.
- The largest category C cabins at Statles, with three bedrooms and six beds, are listed at NOK 4,300 in pre-season and NOK 4,500 in main season.
- Svinøya Rorbuer includes bed linen, towels and final cleaning in the price, while breakfast costs NOK 300 per person per day.
Details
Statles is in Mortsund on Vestvågøy, a 15-minute drive from Leknes airport. Nusfjord Arctic Resort has rorbuer from a 20 m² one-bedroom harbour cabin for two to suites for up to six, but like Svinøya it shows prices only in its booking system. Visit Lofoten describes rorbuer in every category, from basic to luxurious.
Tip
Ask the operator for the total price for your dates and group, and check whether breakfast, bed linen and final cleaning are included.
What may differ
Season matters: at Statles, every cabin type that is open in both seasons costs NOK 200 more in main season, and its one-room cabin is offered in summer only.
