Amazing location, fantastic cultural experience - very friendly staff!

Karin Norway

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.

Genevieve United States of America

The 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!

Ylenia United States of America

Cabins 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.

Emily United States of America

We 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.

The place is magical.Excellent staff,food and facilities .

Stephen United Kingdom

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin we stayed in was lovely - good size and nicely decorated. When we first got there, we did not know the way and were struggling to drag our luggage over snow to our cabin. A lady who works there kindly drove a snow mobile for our luggages. Both breakfast and dinner were good too. We also got to do a few activities there - visit the snowhotel, seeing the ice statues, say hi to the huskies and of course the king crab tour! I would definitely want to come back again!

Minqi United Kingdom
