Bakkejord Holidays

Beautiful property run by lovely people in a stunning spot. We had a standard room, which was a little basic but lovely and clean. It would have been improved by having a kettle and tea and coffee, and a second chair. The lounge was a lovely space to relax, with an amazing view to curl up and read a book. Unfortunately, because it closed at 9pm you were then only in your room. The beauty of this place is the quiet and if you want to just relax, then this is perfect for you.

Huge impressive villa with loads of space and a grand balcony perfect for viewing the Aurora (which we did nightly in early September). Nice short walk to the local Extra supermarket. Would have been 5* if the undertaking to meet and introduce us to the villa had been fulfilled. No one came and some aspects (eg the cooking facilities, the wonderful coffee maker; the microwave etc - all actually very impressive) took us a few days to understand and manage.

Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is incredible. Parking was easy. Extra bed collapsed on us. But we figured it out. Great basecamp for exploring Senja!

The apartment was well located, access via the app was easy and it was cosy inside. It was however, very basic inside. It had three beds but lacked sufficient cutlery, crockery and glasses, no tea towels, a broom or dustpan and brush would have been helpful. Inadequate storage for toiletries in the bathroom and it was necessary to lean over the toilet to reach the sink. Toilet paper stored on the side when we arrived was wet from sink splashing. This was all easy to remedy with more hooks and shelves. The worst thing was outside there was rubbish, including toiletries and used sanitary products all scattered by the front door. The excuse was the storms- but is wasn’t cleared during our 5 day trip and surely a simple clip on the bins could avoid this. It was really horrible arriving at the apartment to this.
