Cozy place in a old house. Food ok, but really small servings. A normal person should order 2 dishes. Friendly staff. Clean. Place to dine outside. Prices are normal for Norway, that is a bit expensive. Cod was fresh and lamb meat cured well. Average experience.

Cozy place with small servings

Don't stay at this overpriced tourist trap. It's way too expensive and tricks tourists with misleading ads. I know Lofoten is famous and costs more than other places in Norway. We don't mind paying more for quality, but this place doesn't match the price or what they show online. The cabin (number 9) we got was old, not taken care of, and didn't have enough stuff. It was also not clean and not cozy at all. We had a bad view of the toilets, parking lot, and campers. It made us feel like we got cheated.

I don't like giving bad reviews, without documentation. Among the images, you can see my receipt. I paid 5,590 NOK for two nights (2,795 NOK or approx. 250 euro per night) for the cabin. At most other places, we paid around 1,800-2,500 per night. All those places were much better: newer, way more spacious, higher standard, clean, and more/better equipped.

The cabin was old and didn't look like it had been fixed or upgraded in a long time. The floor was slanted, and the bathroom very moisty (despite using the not so effective ventilation). It flooded when we showered, and it smelled like mold. The dirty curtain was so bad I didn't want to touch it.

In the wall, there were loose cables I had to tape over as we had 2 children with us.

They showed pictures of a nice beach view for the cabin (see attached advertisement), and they said we could see mountains and a garden too. But the pictures I took show our real view – it was toilets, the parking lot, and campers. We even saw how they cleaned the camping facilities, and it wasn't very hygienic.

They promised a kitchenette with everything we needed, but it was far from what they said. The stove and hood barely worked, and we had to check and clean everything ourselves because it was sticky and dirty. There was no dishwasher either.

The service wasn't great either. The person at the front desk was friendly but not good at explaining things. Check-in was messy. We asked for a baby bed before coming, but they didn't have one when we arrived. We had to explain what it was and ask three times before they brought one, and it had no mattress or sheets.

We don't care much about TV on vacation, but when you pay so much, you expect it to work. The small TV they gave us was dirty and didn't work. When we told them, they said someone would fix it, but nobody ever came.

If the ads were honest, the service better, and the price more in accordance with its standard (maximum 1,200 NOK per night), it might have been okay. But it felt like the people running this place just want to take as much money as they can from tourists without caring about their experience. We were excited about spending extra time in Ramberg, but this bad experience really affected our mood and our trip. I hope the owners think about this and make some changes.

For now, I suggest you don't stay here. The only good thing is the nice beach nearby. You can visit it for free, while staying somewhere else.

Overpriced tourist trap.

They change your cabin without notice. Sea view nonexisting but they still claim its there, se photo. Totaly wrong inn Booking.com. No service. Stay away, only bad experience in Lofoten,  but more expensive than Reine.

Give you wrong cabin, no view, no service

Wondeful position, really a romantic view just in front of the sea.
A bit too small bedroom but absolutely fine for one night stay, we really appreciate the restaurant.
Staff was polite everything went ok, a good choice if you need to rest in the area

Iconic and cozy

One of the best vacations ever.  We got the Gås cabin which has a front view of the beach and some tents in some days. We loved our stay and if ever we come back to Lofoten, we will definitely stay here again. Jim, the host, was very helpful and their restaurant served very good lamb shank and burgers. Since we lived in a cabin, we cooked our own breakfast but took advantage to eat in their restaurant. 

The only fault I could think of was that the edge of the bed was so soft that I could easily fall but it did not happen. Otherwise everything was good and cozy. Be prepared to have warm clothes and pair of shorts as well. Lofoten could have a very warm day and the next day, you would experience the icy cold wind from the north. 

Maybe it would be nice if they have a coffemaker in the future. For now they only have an electric kettle. But their cabin have everything you need: stove, ref, tv and even a hair dryer. We were there in June so expect the sun does not set. Therefore bring a sleep eye mask if you are very sensitive with light. Lovely Ramberg Guesthouse!

Lovely location and great food at their restaurant

During our Lofoten vacation this June we stayed 3 nights in one of the cabins at Ramberg Gjestegard. The Ramberg Beach is one of the very best white sand beaches in Lofoten, and you can sea the midnight sun from your terrace. Absolutely fabulous.

The rooms are spacious with a small kitchen with all necessary equipments to prepare food. Very clean. Be prepared to share the garden in front of you cabin with campers (RV's, Caravans, Tents).

They also have a very good restaurant, and we would highly recommend their lamb shank. 

We would like to return in the future.

PERFECT LOCATION

Trekking across Lofoten from Moskenes I stayed here a few nights in my trekking tent and used it as a base for some treks nearby. Weather, by the way, was pretty horrid. The owners, Tordis and her husband, were very friendly and they and they're very friendly staff, were helpful with regards trekking and local directions. In summary . . Positives - Lovely welcome at first arrival with my enormous backpack, friendly and helpful. An excellent restaurant. Kitchen facilities and more. A good location, especially as a rest-stop. A car would help. Negatives - Very small, cramped tent areas and communal facilities, even in late August, early September, were nearly always full with people taking up space even though they's finished they're meal-making. A sign asking people to not do this was mostly ignored by campers. Only two showers. . . Sounds negative overall, but it's not. At the 'right time of year', NOT peak season, this is a good campsite, run by nice, friendly people. I will return, Thankyou for a pleasant stay. :)

An almost perfect stay

When we came there was a very nice, helpful and kind man in the reception. Our stay was very nice until the day we left. The woman in the reception was very rude and unkind. I paid for a few items we bought and she accused that my 8year old daughter tried to "smash an icecream" which she didn't.My daughter put an icecream away when I said we are not buing it. We wrote to a guestbook and when my daughter tried to draw, the woman came and ripped the book away from my daughter. She accused that this little girl is "ruining our book" and said that we have to remove the page from the book. All my kids were in a shock not believing their eyes and not understanding why this woman behave like this. So not a nice place with kids if this older woman is in the reception.

How one person can ruin your stay?

Rented a three bed cabin for a couple of days. Lots of equipment in the kitchen (except a microwave) and a very fresh and nice design on the inside of the cabin. The cabins are on a row, so if you're lucky you might score the one closest to the beach which to me have the best views even if all the cabins patios have a sea view. Surroundings is a bit less inspiring with some kind of boring public building, but the view towards the sea is free. Midnight sun went down straight in the water horizont, so more "real" midnight sun will be hard to find. Restaurant in the main building serves surprisingly good food, but if you don't want to eat there or arrive late, there is a supermarket just 200m down the main street. Wifi coverage at the outer cabin was to say the least spotty. Didn't work for most of the time. Loved this place!

Cozy cabins

Stayed here for a week for photography arranged by Wildphotographyholidays.com (I have no direct or indirect interest in the company).  Very comfortable stay for all 10 of us and two guides / tutors.  Warm rooms, comfy beds, fast WIFI, and superb local food by Sebastian (from Poland) and his colleagues.  The owner Tordis (didn't meet her husband) was charming and very helpful - she runs the place well and the staff seemed happy to work there.
We enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast and two course dinner,                                                                                                        with different dishes each night.  Very well placed for touring the Lofoten Islands.  The only unfortunate aspect was a lot of wet, windy weather!  Great trip and would highly recoomend staying here!
