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.

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.

Great place with history and some well done renos. There is a big glass window in the living area which we enjoyed sitting and looking out of. The kithcen had all of the essentials and the bathroom was nice and big (with a great hot shower). The host was lovely and provided some great advice on some scenic stops the following day including dam walls, rock caves, a beach and aviation museum.

The owner is friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. The rooms and main area were very comfortable.

The upstairs wash rooms need upgraded and yiu must have a cell phone working to be able to check in.

Nice and simple accomodation in a very nice region! The owner was very nice and gave us tips about good places to visit in the area.

From the desciption we expected an electric car charger, but unfortunately there is only one for Tesla cars (destination charging). The owner was so nice to organize a power outlet for us in walkable distance.

Perfect location, very cosy and nice room, big kitchen and living room, modern and warm barhroom. And the sauna combined with a snow bath after is priceless!!! The host has even told about the history of the building and the area, and he was generally very helpful and nice, he wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed. Absolutelly recommended, I'll definitely return!

I did like the very welcoming staff, the uncomplicated way to deal with formalities (no ID or filling in sheets were necessary), the great location and view at the fjord, the sauna.

Nothing I'd be aware of :)
