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!

We had a great time staying in both the cabins and the snowhotel! It’s an experience of a lifetime! It’s not as cold as one is afraid it is, we were very warm all night, my 8yo son slept through the night in the high warmth sleeping bags.

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.

Very expensive, very little privacy

This is not a stay you do for relaxation. When we checked in they told us to stick around for a presentation after they get everyone else checked in. The 5-10 minute wait was more than 30 minutes because of the line. Basically, they showed us where the different buildings and activities are - pretty sure we could have stumbled on them ourselves. The entire experience was pretty disjointed, from where to store your stuff, when you get to be in your room, lounge isn't big enough to seat everyone, etc - they just didn't have a cohesive experience. Tea and snacks with more information late afternoon, followed by a presentation in an entirely different building at 5.30p. So we're warm and cozy in the Snowhotel, but bundle up to go to the Gamme meeting area with a fire. The Sami history would be more interesting coming from an actual Sami, not someone from Poland (nothing against their international staff). After a warm drink and reindeer sausage, we trek back to the hotel for dinner, then sit around and wait for an excursion, or to dig out your toothbrush and pjs from the shared luggage room, with everyone else doing the same. We were lucky to experience northern lights right above the hotel. It would be better if they didn't kill the night vision with all the landscape lighting. But then they might not sell as many nighttime excursions...to go see the lights. Good to do for one night, although pretty expensive, but not something you do twice.

Mycket nöjd

Smidig incheckning. Rundvandring mes info om hotellet och seras aktiviteter samt matning av renar och att hälsa på hundarna ihop med guide. Då det var bröllop inbokat fick vi tillgång till egen varm stuga som komplement till kallrummet istället för loungen. Fin 3-rätters och god drukost.

We loved our stay at the cabins at Snowhotel. The staff were so friendly and the cabins were lovely and modern. There were so many activities: we got to play with the husky working dogs and even say hi to the 12 new puppies, feed the reindeer, and take a beautiful snowshoe trail for views of the fjord. The food (all meals) was also absolutely fantastic. Would definitely stay again!

This property delivers exactly what you'd expect, an adventure around every corner. This manifests with dog sledding, king crab tours, snow machines, or a night in the ice hotel. Breakfast and dinners were a welcome plus. A must stay on any bicket list!

L'évaluation porte sur les cabines. Les cabines sont confortables, récentes et propres avec un équipement pour faire du thé et du café. Il y a un sauna sec à disposition de tous les résidents. Sont mises à disposition des raquettes à neige mais avec un seul et unique chemin tracé depuis l'hôtel. En revanche il est assez difficile d'avoir accès aux autres équipements (gants, combinaisons etc...) si vous ne prenez pas les activités de l'hôtel en supplément. L'hôtel est également une zone d'attraction pour les touristes avec le débarquement chaque matin de plusieurs bus de touristes qui viennent passer la journée (visite des chambres de l'hôtel de glace, tour en traineaux à chien, pêche au king crabs), ce qui en fait un lieu de tourisme dense, contrairement à ce qu'on peut attendre de la Norvège. La grande majorité du personnel de l'hôtel sont des expatriés en contrat saisonnier. Malgré la sympathie de la majorité d'entre eux, ils connaissent donc mal la région et je conseillerai le recours à un guide local plutôt que les activités proposées par l'hôtel. L'hôtel est assez loin de la ville et n'est pas relié par les transports en commun, ce qui vous fait dépendre des taxis ou du transfert de l'hôtel. La restauration proposée à l'hôtel n'est pas de qualité uniforme. En revanche, les possibilités de voir les aurores boréales sont réelles. Au global une offre décevante en qualité-prix pour des personnes qui aiment la nature, à réserver pour des voyageurs qui cherchent un resort.

Stayed in the snow hotel itself, which was fun if you got into the spirit of the sleeping bag palaver! I was disappoint withthe ice sculptures/carving as although well done, they were not at all norwegain or inspired by the artic but rather dinsey! All very strange and not very culturally embrassing! Fun hiskie sledges. The northern light hunting although we had some great sites was lacking in anything other than a driver taking you to a laayby in a dark place!!
