Amazing style, quality, great value for money

Quiet hotel. Great for those who come to chase Northern light. The owner is super nice, he let me check out whenever I like. underrated hotel. deserved more recognitions.

Everything. this place is amazing. From the room to the beds to the views to the breakfast. Definitely worth the drive to find it. thank you so much.

The place is wonderful, a dream location in every season. I went there in the middle of winter with a friend, even though it’s more suited for a romantic getaway. It was December 10th, freezing cold with a snowstorm. There are no shops nearby, and my friend and I didn’t have a car. Despite this, the owners were incredibly kind and extremely accommodating, exceeding all expectations. In the evening, they went grocery shopping and asked us what we’d like, so we were able to enjoy a warm meal. The breakfast they leave in the igloo is truly abundant and could easily suffice as dinner as well. Inside the igloo, there’s a wood stove that creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. In winter, I recommend keeping it lit at all times, as temperatures drop quickly. Given the strategic location and the fact that you sleep literally under the stars, my friend and I took turns staying awake to try and catch a glimpse of the northern lights (and to keep the stove burning). Against all odds, despite the snowstorm, the sky cleared for a few minutes, and we managed to see a few faint lights. An incredible, dreamlike, magical experience. The next day, we were supposed to catch the bus at 12:00, but due to the snowstorm, it was delayed until 15:00. The owner was so kind as to let us stay in the igloo, as there were no new guests arriving that day. He restarted the stove for us and drove us to the bus stop, as it was bitterly cold. When the bus still hadn’t arrived after an hour, he came back to check on us. Just as we were getting into his car, the bus finally arrived. That day, we didn’t pay any extra fees, even though we had practically stayed in the igloo the entire day. I can’t wait to return in summer to enjoy the breathtaking views!

We wished we could have stayed at Skagakaia for a few more days. Time slowed down the minute we walked into Skagakaia's reception room. And, Lona's cooking is one of the best; her dinner and breakfast were the most memorable ones we had in Norway, because they were not only delicious, they were intimate. Lona cooks everything herself. The location is superb. We will go back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful place and environment, the cabin very complete with everything you need for your stay. The owner/manager, very helpful at all times.

Lovely host. Large bottom floor of the house with everything you need including terrace in the sun. Kitchen facilities, comfy warm bed, big bathroom, space for parking. It was perfect for me.

Clean. Quiet. Nice personnel with great service attitude. Amazing breakfast. High class feeling. Location. Clearly marked: easy to find.

Very cosy old house with tons of Norwegian charm surrounded by amazing nature in a quiet area that seems less crowded with tourism. The views from any direction of the house are just stunning. Perfect place to go and disconnect from reality, as the house is a bit away from the normal touristy paths of Lofoten. Good hiking trails nearby the house offering more lovely views and the company of reindeers on the hike. Close by is a little self-service supermarket with good selection of basic goods. The house was clean and had all the basic needs we needed and the owner was very helpful with any questions we had. On a 5 week roadtrip through Norway, this place and area still stands out as a favourite and we all wished we could have stayed forever!
