One of the most amazing stays we have ever been. Osa was incredibly beautiful, and the Basecamps personnel were very helpful in guidance and tips for hiking trips in Osa and the surrounding environment. The yurts are a recommendation if you want to truly experience the Nordic nature, they are clean and a unique experience. Oh yeaj, pancake breakfast with local jellies!

We spent a week at HBC and found that we had turned an activity holiday into a truly unique experience! HBC is not like any other place we have ever been, and we have travelled the four corners for many years looking for such an escape! We stayed in one of the Mongolian inspired yurts that HBC have created and just decided to put our faith in the team and boy were we rewarded! Robert, Bjorn, & Evelyn, and their team of highly skilled bushcraft experts (we all learnt to make fire from scratch without matches or lighters!) and guides took us hiking around the area to stunning and secret places (inside old Hydro electric tunnels deep inside the mountains or Troll nose waterfall ) that we would never have found alone or in fact in any guide book. Evenings spent making your own fire and cooking on it or enjoying magnificent Evelyn's food and belgian Pancakes at the Cafe COOKING If you want a true and unparalleled experience and feel that you really have gotten away from it all the Hardanger Base Camp is for you - take the plunge - you will not be disappointed - PS the cabin on top of the world also owned by HBC is a must if you are staying for more than a few days

Nice yurt, and nice concept. Excellent service. Unfortunately we had bad weather and then there is not much to do. The yurt smells very smokey. Because you have to cook on fire and that's next to it. So your clothes also smell of smoke. You still have to add the cook add separately.. that is a disadvantage because otherwise you can not cook. Location is nice, but only a few walking routes and a deserted village. You have to love it. Pancake breakfast was top! With good weather it would certainly have been more fun but there is no telling. Walking to the toilet building is far and cannot be done in slippers. Clean toilet and shower!

You become "part of the family", you can relax and the pancakes are excellent. No noice, just quietness and nature. The yurts are cosy, the fireplace invites you to get to know people from different countries. Fitness center? Nature is the best fitness center ever, and you have plenty of it in Osa.

Osa is a place where you can fully enjoy nature and escape from a busy and stressful world. Hardanger Basecamp gives you the opportunity not only to enjoy nature, but also to become one with nature. You learn how to make fire and how to prepare food using this fire, they teach courses where you learn which edible plants you can find in nature and which influence today's society has on the way we live, eat and use food. Osa is also a beautiful place for hiking trips.
I stayed here for two weeks and I'm already making plans on coming back. I definitely recommend Hardanger Basecamp!

We stayed here after driving from Bergen to experience the Fjords… it certainly didn’t disappoint! The drive itself there was stunning and the surroundings to the camp are simply breathtaking. This was a perfect was to experience ‘posh’ camping in a cosy yurt with our own little campfire to cook on an evening. After having the delicious homemade pancakes in the cafe we were full for most of the day! We hired kayaks to take out on to the Osafjord and what an unforgettable experience, no words can describe it fully. We then hiked some of the local paths and village before soaking up the shore of the Fjord on an evening. The location is ideal to see some other local Fjords, we had a short drive (45 minutes) to Eidfjord which was also beautiful. We feel very lucky to have for to experience Norway this way and one of the most special places I’ve ever been to! Thank you again for the kind hospitality and creating such a beautiful place. We’ll certainly be back!

Our stay at the Hardanger Basecamp was amazing. The area and setting is very beautiful with the OSA fjord and the surrounding mountains. We stayed in a Tipi tent which was very nice and comfortable. The activities available at the B Nature center are really the icing on the cake. We did the guided Kayaking and the Fire making workshop and I must say they were really brilliant. For someone who has not tried kayaking before, I totally recommend taking a guided tour. With the Fire making workshop we got to learn so much about how we could start a camp fire out of basic things, which I personally found to be very interesting learning experience. Overall Kudos to Hardanger Basecamp, a must visit place if you are in Norway.

The hostel yurt is beautiful. It's large, with animal hides on the walls and a big table in the center. There are small "rooms" made of a bunk bed, small shelves & a space for luggage. There are electric lights & an outlet for charging phones. Each room can be closed off with a curtain. It's a 2 minute walk over a rough path to the bathroom & showers, which are clean & nice. An entomologist was staying in the hostel while we were there and the man who runs the place, Robert, showed us some of the bugs he had available for us to eat (sorry, couldn't do it!) Breakfast of all you can eat Belgian pancakes & coffee was included. This place is gorgeous, off the beaten path, at the end of a fjord. Robert gave us a great suggestion for a hike. (Note: a 3-4 hour hike in Norwegian translate to a 6 hour hike for a flatland Illinoisan!) If it was cheaper, I'd give it 5 stars & would have stayed longer. It's pricey, but if you want a cool experience, check it out.

We stayed 3 night in our yurts in Norway. It was the highlight of our trip. Our yurts was with a view of the fjords, it was amazing. It was really back to basics. We got a fire workshop and a lot of other information. The fire workshop was very good, when we makes fire for the first time, is was fantastic. The yurt was beautiful and in the middle of the nature. The yurt was al little bit small for five persons. The badroom was far away… So it was al lot of walking. But it was a very nice place to stay 3 nights. I will defenitly go back!

"All the Yurts are individual and because they are nestled into the valley at the edge of the Fjord each has a different special quality. We stayed in a 6 bed Yurt with stunning views right down the moth of Osafjord"
