Staff were so friendly. Breakfast was lovely and fresh. The apartment was clean and tidy and had everything you could need in the kitchen. I will definitely be visiting again. It was a short walk into Ribe which meant we didn't have to drive. Such a lovely place.

Property was clean, staff friendly. There seemed to be a lot of openings but we were given a second floor room. We had to drag our luggage up outside stairs for a one night stay. Parking was also quite distant.

Cozy apartment
Had a lovely stay, after my mother-in-law recommended the place. It was nice and tidy. The kitchen had coffee and tea, and basic utensils. The beds were comfy, the shower had plenty of hot water. There was a playground just outside of our “apartment”. Another bonus is that it is dog-friendly (for a fee).

Uncomfortable and disappointing
Didn’t tell us that bed linen and towels are not included and when we wanted to get some (costs extra) the reception was already closed and we had to sleep without linen and had no towels. Also, the furniture and set up of the apartment was super cheap which made this an overall disappointing experience.

If you are planning a visit to Ribe, stay here!
Ribe is an amazing place and staying here you are walking distance from almost everything. You need to bring your own sheets and towels or rent them from the property. So if you are coming from overseas and/or staying only a night or two, plan on that added expense (though it is very reasonable). If you are coming from the United States, as we are, this isn’t a resort like Disney or Universal Studios. But the rooms all had kitchens, living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms. If you’re staying for a while it is a fantastic place. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

Great place to stay
I really enjoyed my stay at Ribe Byferie. The receptionist were always extremely nice and helpful. They have bike rentals for 12 Kr a day, and there are also scooter and kayak rentals as well. Kitchens with all utensils, pots and pans. Microwave, oven, stove top, Medium sized fridge. There are a lot of windows on the apartment so it can get pretty hot during the summer. The views are wonderful, my suite included a rear porch, upstairs bunk-beds and master bedroom. Free tickets to the Ribe pool area that is near the down town area, and a card that gets you 10% off at a select few restaurants around the city. The best part was the grill area which included the charcoal and five grills for free usage. The fire pit was also great, and everything was extremely clean and orderly. The staff comes by every 7 days to clean, and will even hold your breakfast for you in the morning. The breakfast includes three bread slices, yogurt and a juice. If I'm ever back this way again, I will definitely stay at Ribe Byferie Resort.

Pretty basic place but dirty
We found a candy wrapper in the bed when putting sheets on the bed. Then found ants in the kitchen. Since we had checked in after hours (they close check in early on Sunday but we were not informed of that and arrive at 1630 to find check in closed) there was nothing we could do and had to deal with a dirty room. When notifying staff about it later they were incredibly rude and did not offer anything other than an indignant look and insistence that it was Expedia's fault we were not I formed about early close of check in on Sundays. I would not stay here again.

Quaint resort
Nice little historic town. Resort is very clean, and quaint. Good facilities covering all bases. It's an apartment style resort, not a hotel, just in case folks are looking for that. The check is time bound so be sure to check what time your flight arrives. You also need to either bring or order a linen package.

Ribe a delight.
Very clean and well equipped apartment. An easy 10 minute walk into Ribe old town, which is a delight to explore. Only negatives to the resort are that you have park your car well away from the apartment (although you can load and unload), and the WiFi signal strength was poor.

Great place, great price
What a great place to spend some time with family with lots of space for kids, barbecue area and free parking. Staff was very helpful and the hotel is 10 minutes walking from the center of the town. The room was very clean and just as shown on pics. We would definitely stay there again if we come back to Ribe (preferably during Summer).

Very relaxing but something need to improve
The room is large. However the bed is very bad, the mattress is very soft, seems the mattress has been used very long time. The water is not hot enough for shower. The breakfast is only a plastic bag with bread and milk inside and bring the breakfast bag back to room, no hot food. Checkout time is 10 am but not 11 am or 12 pm like other hotels. The atmosphere is nice, very relaxing, a river in front of the room, clean and tidy living area, friendly neighborhood.

Overall it is a great place. My only complaint is about having to pay thirty three dollars per person to have sheets and towels for the stay. This was told to us that we had to "buy"unless we brought our own. But they had to be returned at the end. Felt that was quite a gauge! At the very least we should have been able to keep them for that price. Never have ever had that experience before. So be aware if you aren't traveling with your own sheets and towels you will need to add it to the price of your stay. Otherwise a very nice place.

Great but some put offs!
We stayed at Ribe Byferie around end of May. Although the hotel amenities, cleanliness was great there were of couple of things that were off. Breakfast - We had paid additional for breakfast included. We were expecting hot served breakfast. Nowhere on their website they mention about what is available in breakfast. For 3 days in a row, they were packing the same breads from a local bakery, packed yoghurts, packed cheese packets in a bag. You have to collect it from the reception and take it to your room to eat. Staff - We felt the hotel staff was not very helpful. We needed some recommendations from them and did not see a whole hearted attitude to help. Although we were 2 ppl booked in the resort, they had towels and bedding arranged for 1 person. Their office closes at 4 so there was no way to get those. Too many directives - When you are on a vacation, you want to take a break from all the daily chores. Their instruction list has so many to-dos they also ask to start the dishwasher with 30 min cycle and keep the vessels back in place before you live Comfort - The rooms had no blinds on the windows. Since in the month of May there is sunlight quite late in the night, the curtains were not sufficient to block the evening sunlight. The sunlight can keep you up unless you are too tired too feel the sunlight through the window in the night.

Great Place in Ribe
Ribe was our favorite stop in Denmark, partly because of this "hotel". The units were so nice we decided to stay a third night. They had large, well-equipped kitchens, large living area, large dining table, beds for 5, plus 2 on the sofa/trundle...a small house. There was a private terrace out back, with clothesline! (The facility had a laundry, but the machine instructions were on the complicated side.) Great facility for families: playground, large outside BBQ area.

Check the details before booking
For # 1 resort in Ribe it was a shock to have to make our own beds, sweep the floors, not only do the dishes but also put them back EXACTLY as they were in the cupboards and the most unpleasant of all was to have to carry our dirty linens and wet towels through the entire resort to the reception before departing.

Spacious apartment close to historic center
The apartment we had was very spacious and easily accommodated 4 adults and an 18th month baby with a crib. Lots of parking and nice amenities around the hotel, such as saunas and spas, a playground, a trampoline, and a playroom with ping pong, fusbol, and an Xbox 360 with a nice selection of games. It is only a 10 minute walk to the cathedral in the historic city center.

Should it really be on Hotels.com?
Great other than the fact that bed linnens and towels are not automatically included and there are not really any web pages that we could find detailing the fact that we should bring linens or arrange ahead of time which would be impracticle for a short stay. Much better arrangement for a long stay.

Linens/ towels charged at 20 USD per person!
Be careful: this is not a hotel. It is a "resort" with a series of little houses from the 90s. Beds were horribly uncomfortable and old. Linens and towels are NOT included and must be leased separately at a cost of 20 USD per person! This quickly adds up to the cost of the hotel for two people… and what is more fun that making you own bed in a "hotel" (towels and linens are handed at the reception in a plastic bag upon arrival) and bringing back your dirty linen and wet towels to the reception at the end of your stay?

Great location
I found Ribe Byferie a great place to stay with family. The apartments are great and close to Ribe centre, less than 10 minutes on foot. The children enjoyed the games room, actually we all did, there is something for everybody. The surroundings are great and the fact that you feel independent within the complex makes it a good choice. I would highly recommend it for families with children.

Unwind and spread out
Our city hotels were so cramped that it was a relief to have space! Cook for yourself, spread over multiple rooms, things for younger kids to do, TV with English channel. Great break between more high-action parts of vacation (like Copenhagen). Town of Ribe is charming and right nearby. Hotel is big on rules, so just adjust.

Perfect for families.
This was my 3rd stay in Ribe Byferie and the high standard remains. Three of us stayed in the smallest type of flat available. We were greeted by friendly reception staff and the flat was clean and tidy. On the table was some tea and coffee to get us started which was very nice. Also tea towel, dishcloth and a couple of dishwashing tablets, so bring your own if you are staying for more than two days. There is soap and shower gel/shampoo in the bathroom. My youngest liked the games room above the reception and the playground. There is a secure locked car park at the far end and Ribe is only a few minutes' walk away. It is a great location for going to Legoland (1 hour) and Germany is only 45 minutes down the road. But most of all, it is a lovely place to stay.

Lovely family self catering apartments
Ribe Byferie is self catering holiday apartments. We rented a two bed apt for two days - the second bedroom is up very steep wooden steps above the main living area and sleeps three children, with a double bedroom on the same floor as the main living/kitchen area. The apartment was lovely - clean scandi design and the children loved their room in the eaves. The local town is pretty with a couple of local attractions, v nice icecream shop and several big supermarkets. The apts had a large games room with games consoles, table football etc. The only drawbacks are having to take your own towels and bed linen but standard practice in Denmark and the steps up to the children's room were v steep but saying that the children managed fine with them. We would def stay there again if visting that area.
