Memurubu

Nice place to stay, and you can get the ferry to either end of the lake. There is no guest WiFi but that is kind of the point of being in the middle of nowhere!

What a pleasant surprise - especially after reading so many negative reviews beforehand. We stayed in a family room that was very clean and absolutely fine. Despite some of the comments about unfriendly staff, our experience was the opposite: everyone we met was helpful, friendly, and attentive - from the reception desk to the dinner service. The meals were tasty and felt freshly prepared, which we really appreciated after a long day of hiking. We also really enjoyed the atmosphere in the lodge - calm, welcoming, and relaxed. There was a nice vibe among the guests, even in the common areas. And of course, the location is stunning – right between the lake and the mountains, perfect for anyone exploring the area on foot. All in all, a very positive experience that we’re happy to recommend.

Slept in a dormitory which seems cheaper than the DNTs I have checked. I think it’s stupid to not have WiFi (keep in mind there is basically no reception for mobile data as well) in a modern accommodation when you pay these kind of prices. Sometimes you might need to do important things online.

Rooms are OK with their own toilets and shower. More expensive than DNT cabins so you’d expect for something special, but not really. Living room is cosy but hot water for drinking costs money, the food is blend and WiFi did not work when we were there.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend to stay at Memurubu! Overall way overpriced for the value you get there. I understand that it is a remote place and you have to ship there everything by ship, but 300 USD per night it is still very expensive for what you get, even given the price level in Norway. The dinner was okay, but made with the simplest and cheapest of ingredients. The rooms were clean, but quite old, are not soundisolated, so that you hear everything from the hallway and most of the noise from the neighboring rooms. Besides, I had a construction site directly in front of my window . The staff was friendly and helpful though. The breakfast choice was also rather cheap, even the home made bread is still similar to toast. I would not stay there again and spent the money rather somewhere else where you get probably two nights and a bit better food.

Nice place to end up after a hard day's hike. The rooms had their own shower which was great. Food was also good and filling. We walked in and took the boat ride back out to the parking place

Very poor service and a strange and unpleasant vibe from owner. When we arrived we payed for a room but when returning to buy some food and beverages after a long hike we’re stopped by the owner due to Wi-Fi was down. He was absolutely not willing to let us put what we were getting on the room until Wi-Fi’s back and was acting very hostile again people wanting to make purchases. Dining room is in this dark room without proper windows to enjoy the views and the food was horrible. Such a shame for a place so beautifully located. Skip this and enjoy the warmth and joy of the DNT stays instead!!

We enjoyed our stay at Memurubu. After a long, wet hike on the Besseggen Ridge, it was nice to arrive at a dry room. The room had a shower and toilet. There were blankets on the bed, but no sheets. You can rent sheets, but we brought sleeping bag liners that did the job. The food at dinner and breakfast was especially good.
