FURU Hostel

FURU Hostel sits on the shores of Lake Steira in Bøstad on Vestvågøy, in the heart of Norway's Lofoten Islands. The hostel offers dorm beds, private rooms, and apartments, all with a minimalist design and views over the lake or surrounding mountains. An on-site café serves seasonal, locally-sourced vegetarian and pescatarian dishes. The hostel is run by a small team of outdoor enthusiasts and draws a mix of travelers, locals, and adventure seekers. Lofoten is known for hiking, fishing, surfing, and winter activities, making this a practical base for exploring the islands year-round. The lakeside setting among trees gives it a quieter, more natural atmosphere than typical town-center accommodations.
