Cabins were wonderful and had amazing views. Perfect for couples or groups of 2 per cabin. We booked with half board which was outstanding for our 2 day stay. We loved that we were able to spend time with the dogs and the reindeer..

We had two rooms reserved. We switched one room to a cabin in order to have closer bathroom access! Loved the cabin! In that it was the end of the season and this was a particularly hot summer. the Ice hotel was "melting," but we slept comfortably through the night and enjoyed the experience!

We loved the Snow hotel. Everything about it! The staff was so friendly and accommodating! We stayed in cabin 10 and had a really nice view of the Fjord. I loved sitting by the window at day or night. The room was clean and very comfortable. We ate at the restaurant - breakfast, lunch and dinner and the food was upscale and delicious. I also did the king crab safari and it was outstanding. The guides were very knowledgeable and funny. We feasted on the crab and it was delicious! We also went on the northern lights hunting. We saw them right at the hotel one evening! The first night we did not see them, but the guide was so interesting and engaging and tried so hard! He did take us to the Russian border. The 2nd night of lights hunting was spectacular! We even saw the Northern lights dance! The snow hotel itself was fun! We went to the bar for a drink - in an ice glass no less. Just loved this resort and so grateful to have spent some time there - with the huskies too!

This place is amazing. While it is not near anything, dont worry. I could eat 3 meals a day here for a week and not want a change. Great staff. Loved the staff at the dog area especially.

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!

We stayed in Cabin #8 wonderful location. Cabin was immaculate, lovely room. The dinners were fabulous, breakfast would have been great if you could have had freshly cooked eggs while you waited instead on the steam table scrambled eggs. The Snowhotel itself is quite something. The ice sculptures were great. We did a Northern Lights tour, it was cloudy but we still were able to see a small display!

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!

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!

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 !

Everyone at the Snowhotel was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the dogsledding. We spent a night in the Snowhotel. The sleeping bags they provide are very warm. Everything was great. Just keep in mind, there is no plumbing in the Snowhotel. Bathrooms and showers are in an attached building.

What an amazing visit to Snow hotel! We had a family room in the snow hotel which was fabulous ice art. Mom got nervous and the staff was SO gracious and let her stay in a warm cabin ( thankfully one was not yet booked ). Early in the day we did a great crab expedition- just wonderful, informative and delicious! AND the food was hyper local , fresh inventive and five star. ⭐️ fun to see sled dogs working, reindeer wandering and Sami handcraft displays. Thanks for a unique and warm experience!

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.

8/10 Very good

My sleeping bag had velcro closure and was not usable, would not stay closed. Made sleeping difficult. zippers seem to be a better option. At least make sure velcro is in good condition. My wife had no issues with her velcro bag which was in good condition

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 !
