I went from being stressed about planning my first trip to Norway with my wife, to finding KimKim who made it very easy and enjoyable. Everything was well planned and easy to follow, and they made very nice choices for us. I would strongly recommend using KimKim to anyone!

Location was fine and the breakfast was very good. The room was average, and you could hear the music from the lobby until about 11PM.

Authenticity & Character
Room was noisy from music downstairs

Not very friendly. Hotel was mostly empty, and they could have put us in a room that was higher up, away from the noise. Also, no view at all from the room other than the rooms directly across from us.

We really loved this place, but we also like to stay in cabins which this reminded us of. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff were great. We could not stay for breakfast so they made us something to go. The food a night was one of the best meals we had on the trip. Great place to stay!

Authenticity & Character
Grass roof, cabin like rooms. It's what you want in Norway.
Location
Not sure this is the perfect spot for everyone, but if you want a nice, quiet place to stay, it's perfect. We loved it!
Staff
Very friendly and nice to work with.

Best bed during our week in Norway (and none were bad).

Loved this trip and the beautiful views. The ride was a lot of fun. Do not be intimidated by what they ask you to wear - you will be dry and warm!

It rained the entire time, and we still really enjoyed this trip. Ott was our guide and did a very nice job explaining things and making it enjoyable. It's a great way to see a fjord!
