It’s a very fun concept, but if you are not from one of the cruises you are almost forgotten about. They have such a crazy influx of people from the cruise that they get overwhelmed and can’t handle everyone. The activities are too expensive for somebody already paying so much to stay at the hotel. It is such a cool place it just does not seem organized and well ran.

This is a unique.property, way, way north! It has a pretty unique Sami experience. Beware icy spots on the property in the long-lasting winter .Also, tour buses arrive with lots of folks to enjoy king crab, and the sled dog experience! But, it is very unique and enjoyable, with good staffing!

This was a highlight of my visit to Norway. The ice hotel was beautiful and not at all hard to sleep in. The sleeping bag was so warm I was sweating. I'm so glad I stayed!

We had the best time at this resort- the dogs, the reindeer, John Henry’s wonderful presentation on Sami culture, the King Crab expedition, the northern lights hunt ( didn’t see any on the hunt but it was really fun anyway and there they were right at the snow hotel when we got back) the ice rooms, the food, the staff, the cabins.. I can’t decide what was the best part- we loved the whole experience. The only thing that would have made it better would have been staying 3 nights instead of two.

Stay in the heated cabins
Very comfortable and quiet. Stayed in a heated cabin. Food was very good but if you are a picky eater there are not a lot of choices at dinner time. Breakfast had a wide array of food from eggs, meats, fish, granola, yogurt to fruits and vegetables. Very pleasant staff. The reindeer and dogs are adorable !

Gamma cabins cute and comfy.. and NORTHERN LIGHTS!
Booked the Gamma Room to see Northern lights… the clouds cleared and it was magic! The two single beds are easily put together and even moved to the window. The bathroom was very spacious after days on a cruise. I’m sure it’s more beautiful when the snow has fallen, we were concerned about looking out onto a giant white plastic covered structure but at night it looked like snow. Included dinner nice although we had done the king crab tour then given king cr a starter seemed a bit stupid. We walked around the snow hotel part… rooms are similar to the Quebec version. It is an experience but you only need To do it once !

Wonderful peaceful setting. We stayed in the Snow hotel whilst outside it was warm and sunny. We loved the reindeer and the huskies and enjoyed walking by the fjord. Staff were friendly and helpful and quality of food in restaurant was great. Would definitely recommend

This is a magical place! We fed the reindeer, we played with the husky puppies, we walked down to a Sandy Beach and bathed in the Langefjord. The cabin was beautiful and comfortable with coffee and tea and a lovely porch to look at the beautiful scenery in Finnmark. Stuff for friendly and helpful. We loved our stay!
