About

Welcome to Island Life. Welcome to Furu.
Get a taste of life in the Arctic and join our community of travelers, outdoor lovers & locals.

We are located in the heart of Norway's Lofoten Islands, nestled in between the trees on the shores of Lake Steira. We love to bring like-minded travelers together and create a space where you can fully experience all the outdoor adventures on the islands.

At Furu you will find minimalistic and stylish dorms, private rooms and apartments. Our interior is inspired by the beautiful nature around us and each room has its own unique design with views over our lake or the mountains surrounding us.

Our ground floor features cozy common areas where guests can relax and meet fellow travelers.
Guests in dorms and private rooms have shared bathrooms and access to a shared kitchen in the basement. Our kitchen includes all necessary kitchen utensils and is closed during night.

During the summer FURU Café is open and we’re happy to serve breakfast, lunch, freshly baked goods, and dinner.

We are a small team of outdoor enthusiasts and stoked to share our love for nature and life on the islands. See you soon up North at Furu.

Guri, Arne & the Furu Family

Summary of traveller reviews

Furu Hostel in Lofoten offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Guests appreciate the beautiful lakeside location, cozy common areas, and unique decor. It's a great spot for meeting people, though a car is recommended for exploring the wider area. Some mention a need for more showers during peak times.

It was one of the best hostel experiences I've had! The apartment is very clean and cozy, and it's easy to meet fellow travelers. The hostel offers several amenities, such as a sauna and kayaking, and the bus stop is right in front. The hosts are also very friendly. I highly recommend it if you plan to visit the beautiful Lofoten Islands.
