Reviewed Aug 10, 2025Hemmingodden está en una ubicación privilegiada con unas vistas excelentes. El apartamento está limpio y es muy cómodo, y el personal también es muy amable. Muy recomendable, sobre todo para amantes de la naturaleza y pescadores.

Reviewed Aug 6, 2025Accueil inexistant sans aucune information hormis le souhait d’être payé alors que nous restions 2 jours.je passe l’indifférence de l’équipe composée de 3 jeunes totalement indifférents à notre présence.Nous découvrons un logement non conforme au descriptif ( nous pensions avoir un lodge au lieu d’un appartement) ce dernier est accessible uniquement par un escalier abrupt. Le lit en mezzanine n’était accessible que par une échelle dangereuse. Le canapé déployé en lit était inconfortable puis nous remarquons que la bonde du lavabo était mêlée à une large pelote de cheveux et de poils.Enfin, le tarif était augmenté de 10 euros par rapport au prix initial. Nous sommes très déçus de ce lieu qui ne semble parfait qu’en photos. Heureusement que les îles Lofoten sont merveilleuses.

Reviewed Jul 20, 2025Comfortable beds, clean sheets,. towels and bathroom, well-equipped kitchen with dish-washer, spacious apartment with dining table, etc. Free parking close by. Missed a microwave. Could hear people in the upstairs apartment walking at night. Shower cabin a bit uncomfortable for tall people.

Reviewed Jul 19, 2025Nice location. Great view. Excellent food at onsite restaurant. Easy drive from airport.

Reviewed Jul 15, 2025We had a lovely stay at this small, cosy flat. The place is clean and thoughtfully decorated, with a charming mix of old and new that makes it feel both homey and stylish. It had everything we needed for a comfortable night with the family. There’s even a place to charge an electric car, which was a big plus for us. The staff were very helpful and nice, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Later, we returned for a fishing trip.

Reviewed Jul 4, 2024Very much enjoyed staying here! It was in a good location for several hikes and it was so nice to unwind in the sauna after a long day of being active outside. There is no shampoo or soap provided in the shower, just something to be aware of!

Reviewed Sep 19, 2023The marketing photo (above) is a misleading advertisement. There are studios built on stilts overlooking our accommodation and blocking the advertised sea view. The properties website does not currently show them either. Total misrepresentation and underhandedness

Reviewed Aug 1, 2022Det eneste som dro litt ned var at det flommet utover badegulvet når jeg dusjet. Savnet en nal for å fjerne vannet med. Ellers var alt perfekt. Veldig godt renhold. Og best av alt, jeg kunne ha med hunden min. Vi koste oss skikkelig.

Reviewed Oct 26, 2020Weekend stay with the family. The apartment was new, and equipped with most of what one needs. Missed tv and radio, wifi signal was good and was used to download tv on tablet. Grocery store right by the cabins.

Reviewed Aug 27, 2020We had such a nice stay at Hemmingodden Lodge! The location was so convenient--easy to get to various places in Lofoten, and Ballstad is a very quiet easy-going place. We found the apartment cozy and clean, with everything we needed there. Would definitely stay again.

Reviewed Jul 27, 2020Nyoppussede leilighet var helt fantastisk. Beliggenhet er upåklagelig, moderne og komfortable møblement, kjøkkeninnredning. Man kan leie en båt på stedet for å dra på fisketur, praktisk med en sløyehall. Anbefales på det sterkeste

Reviewed Feb 23, 2020Lovely lodge right on the harbour in Ballstad. Great location to view the rest of the lofoten islands via car. Only 20 minute drive to the beaches at Vik, Haukland and Uttakliev. Accomodation is very cosy, clean and modern. There is a shop only 2 minutes walk away as well as a little cafe. The larger town of Leknes is only about a 15 - 20 minute drive away.
2/10
Reviewed Aug 11, 2019It says check-in before 11pm. But no one stayed in reception when we arrived and no one answered the phone which is the only given contact information. It’s so irresponsible. If the management team won’t be there, at least they have to leave enough information for self check-in. Even Hotels.com cannot reach the property and responded extremely late. I believe Hotels.com should properly validate all information before they accept the property on their app, but apparently they didn’t do it well.
10/10
Reviewed Aug 1, 2019Great location, great host, great services. Almost do not want to recommend this place to make it too over populated by tourists - it’s that amazing! Definitely hoping to come back again.
