    We felt pressure to check out and leave by 9 a.m. This may because it was end of season or perhaps a group might check in early.

    Food was good. Very convenient to the boat to the boundary marker.

    The room itself was a bit too small for 2 ppl and 3 doors from wardrobe, toilet and entrance door were blocking each other all the time. :) I would also prefer more shelf instead of TV in the room. But it was minor things. And of course it is expensive, but in this location there are not a tons of options unless you stay in the tent. Considering all pros and cons I would rent it again.

    It was great experience, the accommodation has daily sauna, warm room to dry your hiking gear after wet hike, kettle and good sized cups in the room. Beds were comfortable enough and we got lucky with good view to Saana (room 109). Small fridge and working table were appreciated greatly. Good sound insulation. Good breakfast and what is most important it is not very early (8-10). All operations run smoothly. Staff is great and helpful.

    Although we had a kettle in the room there were no cups provided. Twin room didn’t have a lot of luggage space.

    The staff were exceptional. We needed a heater for our room & we were attended to immediately. Reception staff provided a lot of information & advice on arrival. A written outline of the facilities was also provided. Kettle & fridge in room; good hot water, comfortable bed. Lounge area to relax & dining area looking across to the lake. Restaurant on site with friendly staff & good menu choices ( also described in English. )

    Public shower (sauna) could have soap/washing-up liquid available for visitors. Most of the people in the sauna didn’t seem to have their own soap with and didn’t wash up properly.

    The shades didn't cover the whole window so the room was very light. It was warm in the room during the summer.

    The area is amazing, the view was really pretty and we saw even reindeers eating outside the window. The food was good for the breakfast and for dinner. The room had a good small refrigerator.

    Limited parking space near the hotel rooms but we were lucky. The site can be very busy during the opening times of the shop and restaurant. You can't drink tap water but they have a water tank where you can fill up bottles.

    A nice and friendly hotel on a camping site. The rooms are basic but are clean and have everything you need. Extremely good breakfast! Easy check in. Beautiful location close to the border of Norway.

    Solo motorcycle traveller, one night stop to visit the World’s northernmost three-country cairn

    PARKING: is not always even and paved, so if you only have 2 wheels like me, it might be tricky to find a safe spot.

    PARKING: open air internal camping area, usually next to your cabin or the rooms building CHECK-IN: easy and supporting, reception might be crowded now and then STAFF: nice, smiling and welcoming also willing to give you information about the activities and the "features of the area" WIFI/VPN: works BREAKFAST: very nice with plenty of choice MINIBAR: yes KETTLE: yes SIZE: large, but not huge. Very big window, my view was just on the trees around and felt like in the middle of the forest. A big desk with plenty of sockets make the place also nice to work remotely for multiple days. CLEAN: yes BATHROOM: simple and cheap material, but clean and large enough for me QUIET: yes, it felt so Services/Restaurants/Attractions around: the place itself has a little souvenir shop and few km south there is a petrol station, a supermarket with an hardware/fishing area and a little restaurant. However you have to drive there. I chose the place, not just because of the reviews and offer, but also because it's in front of the starting point to visit https://www.visit-lyngenfjord.com/activities/hiking/top-10-in-lyngen/three-country-cairn but with the boat service. With the price of the room you are offered a free access to their SAUNA and there was nothing better after a long day of driving and walking! That was a big plus for me.
