Wonderful boutique hotel in a very unique setting! Linda, our host, made sure that we had everything that we needed, including the wonderful meals that she prepared from her beautiful gardens. We highly recommend this for a restful stay and a unique experience !

Lindis is an energetic host with a genuine passion to share her home and Norwegian culture and stories, with wonderful hospitality and formidable organisational skills to make her guests from all around the world feel welcome. Her meals with ingredients sourced from her garden are thoughtfully chosen and beautifully prepared, even the packed lunches for day trips. The accomodation in their lovely renovated old home and barn, high above Lake Hafslo with stunning views was comfortable, quiet and cosy.

Had a fabulous stay at Bestbakken, with my husband and daughter!  Lindris is the best host ever!  She creates fabulous meals, using items from her garden; orchestrates group dinners where guests mingle and learn about each other; manages a lovely resort (our double deluxe rooms were so attractive, clean and comfortable); and she even guided us on an E-bike ride.  She does it all!  Loved our stay and hated to leave.  The alpacas were an extra bonus - my daughter wanted to take one home, and had to settle for an alpaca plush (and she's 29!). We will return!

The real authentic Norway lives here...
We stayed here four nights at the suggestion of our travel agent, Up Norway.
The Charming inn is run by Lindis and her husband who treat guests like family 
They have a small herd of alpacas and even the comforters are made with their wool!
Food is all home prepared and many recipes are hers and her families. Much comes from her organic garden. All hams are made here too! We had a fantastic ebike trip to an 11th century church  nearby and thoroughly enjoyed the exquisite beauty everywhere around us..
Lindis took  us to some of her favourite places within an hour from here to see the spectacular glaciers, an award winning goat  cheese maker  and lunch in a  small mountain cabin with authentic Norwegian food by a woman whose husband  built the cabin. The beauty simply takes your breath away. There is much to enjoy here and the hospitality is warm and authentic in every way. Skip the tourist hordes and enjoy Bestebakken!

I have been to Bestebakken before and wanted to share my experience with friends and family this time. It all turned out excellent - the food, the rooms (everybody argued they had the best room), the atmosphere that invited to good talks… And days filled with memorable experiences (we did hiking in the mountains and wine tasting). A four course breakfast every day with enough variations to make everybody satisfied and happy. All in all a memory for life for me, and best of all - many to share the memory with!

Staying here was one of the highlights of our 2.5 week trip through Norway! Lindis and her husband, Odugira, were amazing hosts, the rooms were spacious and well appointed, the views  from he hill overlooking Lake Hafslo were spectacular and the 'communal' gourmet dinners (extra charge) and breakfasts were divine. Lindis is an amazing cook, she announces and explains each course for both breakfast and dinner, and the wines they offered were spectacular. We met such interesting people seated around the large dining room table from Switzerland, France, NY and San Francisco over dinner. To top all of that, they rent e-bikes on the premises and we went on an 80 km ride along lake Hafslo, then along Veitestrond Lake for the most spectacular bike ride I have ever taken. 

Utterly gorgeous. The best sleep I’ve had on our entire trip, in a duvet made with alpaca wool, grown right on site. Incredibly welcoming hosts. Make sure you order the evening meal - served at 7:30 in the shared dining room. The food was exceptional and matched with great wine. Days worth of things to do in the area. Stay at least 3 nights

We were a group of people in a workshop for two days. The nice environment, quiet, peaceful and wonderful view, delicious food and very friendly and welcoming host made it the perfect place to be.  The bed was very comfortable and the room was very nice, too. It is a farmhouse in which they have saved traditional furniture and esthetics in a lovely balance between traditions and comfortable modern beds and bathrooms. I also enjoyed the sweet and soft alpacas grazing quietly in the garden..  The place is a bit difficult to find in the darkness in November, but this is a lovely place I would absolutely recommend to others who like a peaceful environment for work or leisure, and well-prepared local food. I hope to return soon. 

We traveled with our 4 adult children to Norway this summer and really Enjoyed our stay at Bestebakken! The main house is a charming historic home/bed and breakfast with very comfortable rooms, and there is an additional new building where my husband and I stayed with a king bed and big whirlpool bathtub. The owner, Lindis, is a terrific host and amazing chef. The food was absolutely delicious and mostly made from ingredients on their farm, the view is breathtaking, and the atmosphere calm and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed our ebike adventure (which Lindis arranged for us) with our guide Johnny where we visited the Stave Church and a traditional wooden boat building company!

Bestebakken is more of a guest house than a hotel. We stayed in the adjacent barn building. The room – like the owner – was creative, eclectic and a little different, in a very good way. We had an incredible view of the scenery outside the property. We explored: the greenhouse, the alpaca pens, the converted storage container/guest units, the unusual corners within the house. Our host is very welcoming; and a very good chef. The “connecting” breakfasts and the dinners were prepared with care, attention to detail and culinary skill. We enjoyed our fellow guests and had positive experiences meeting and getting to know our fellow travelers. I appreciated the care and attention that our host gave to our dietary differences (no pork/ham/shellfish) and was grateful for her concern and small substitutions. Our trip during the day was uniquely special: with friends that we’d met at the Bestebakken table to a glacier within the nearby national park. 2+ hours of hiking each way yielded an encounter with an impressive glacier, and the walk back, over varying and irregular terrain, with glacial streams all around us, is one that I will never forget. Thank you to our fine host at Bestebakken for an enjoyable visit. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a person-to-person, top qualify, shared dining experience in Norway.

Bestebakken: A Welcoming Place with Imaginative Design and Great Food

Highlight of my Norwegian vacation! Beautiful setting, fabulous food, attention to
even the smallest of details. The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay special. 
Lindis and her husband are from Hafslo and have a rich connection to the community. They were able to set up a  wonderful visit to the local stave church as well as other interesting interactions with locals. 
If you have the chance to go, take it !
