Being able to visit the dogs (and hold the new puppies!) was great. Seeing last year’s snowhotel was a neat experience, albeit expensive. The cottages were lovely and cozy and the staff was very friendly. The Snowhotel is located on beautiful land with good hiking on either side of the fjord. We enjoyed spending hours wandering around and never saw anyone else on the trails. We were able to push the twin beds together very easily, so it’s a good set up for both couples and friends who travel together.
United States of AmericaThe location of snow hotel provides easy access to the unique landscape, wilderness, and adventures of the arctic. Excellent service! Top notch staff! Highly recommended and would definitely go back there again and stay longer next time!
United States of AmericaCabins were fantastic. Staff was warm, accommodating and super friendly. Loved the activities available to purchase (husky saferi!) and also all the ones we did independently--especially snow shoeing. Greatly enjoyed the hot smoky berry juice. Very cool to see snow hotel and ice bar.
United States of AmericaWe felt at home in a relaxing Nordic setting. The food was excellent. We were encouraged to interact with the mushing dogs. Reindeer were on site. Each room in the Ice Hotel was a work of art. Guests gathered after dinner in the Ice Bar for comradery. Our cabin was cozy, warm and provided beautiful vistas.
United States of AmericaWe loved everything honestly. There are bikes and hiking trails. There are reindeer and huskies to play with. The rooms were spectacular. The vibe was warm and honest. It was all about enhancing your outdoor northern Norwegian experience. The food was delicious. We did the crab Safari on the Barents Sea. We really enjoyed it and the area is super unique.
United States of AmericaEveryone was very very friendly. Free Coffee and tee
GermanyBest accomodation in Northern Norway ! We drove all the way from the Lofoten Islands and will reccomend this property to all. To the chef - your cooking is sublime. Very well done - we reccomend the reindeer steak, roast chicken, cod fish and salmon. Also dried lamb starter and king crab soup ! The guide for the king crab fishing is also very good at what he does.
South AfricaAbsolutely amazing the staff were so friendly and helpful this place is just perfect and the huskie sledding was just best thing ever!
United KingdomThe hotel is great! good food, very kind stuff and always open for anything, clean and nice amenities, very nice tracks for hiking and the best of all the husky and puppy yard!! More than 150 dogs and some puppies of the season. Also there's a reindeer yard, very peacefull, with even one white reindeer. It's an amazing experience to stay in this hotel!
ColombiaCabin was very cosy and quiet. Staff were lovely and the food was all beautiful. Nice being able to wander down to the fjord and see the Huskies.
