We had an unforgettable weekend at Sorrisniva! Everything from the clean room and great breakfast to the warm, friendly staff made our stay wonderful. The sauna and outdoor hot tub were pure magic, and the 5-course dinner with wine pairing was a true highlight – beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

The lodge is next to the river, it was frozen over w\ snow, perfect for watching the dog sledders come by. All four nights there, we saw the Northern LIghts. The room, lodge, food, ice hotel and adventures were awesome

Fantastic!!

The hotel itself is lovely and the staff are very friendly. Bedrooms are a good size with lovely bathrooms and amazing views. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is excellent. The restaurant Makku was excellent however you cannot really eat there every night. Lavvu which is the other restaurant is nice however when you were there for more than two or three days the menu is a bit repetitive. the excursions were excellent and the guides were fantastic. Overall an incredible stay and a great experience.

Beautiful location, stylish rooms and excellent staff. The fine dining restaurant and its tasting menu was terrific. So was the food in the Lavvu restaurant although I hope they expand the menu to include more choices in the future. Breakfast was buffet and plentiful. We stayed a night at the Ice Hotel which was a fun experience. We also went on two excursions with them which we enjoyed. I write for the blog Paradox Travels and will do an extended review there. So if interested, look us up and read a more extensive review with photos there in the upcoming month.

Great experience

I have seen a lot of hotels around the world. This hotel is a very special one. Excellent in all terms! Nature, rooms, food, service, set of breakfast, just name it! Well, if you need a tv-set in your room > this hotel is not for you. We were not even thinking about missing features! The photos will not give you the real picture and feeling of this great place!

Wonderful

Oh my a very well thought out design with rooms overlooking the river/stream. Nice balcony and every opportunity to see the Northern Lights in your room and on your balcony! A bit out from the town which was extra nice but not too far either! Daniel & Lars greeted us warmly! Auskin served our meal and was a fun bonus to our stay. Sonja made our morning with such a kind smile as we had breakfast! (Sorry for misspelling names!). We rested well. The hot chocolate was fantastic…thank you to all for a wonderful stay!

Amenities at the resort were wonderful. I really appreciated the staff helping with scheduling all of our activities for us before we arrived. Food in both restaurants excellent. Rooms are very large and comfortable with a lovely view. We also enjoyed the spa. Front desk was very helpful. A special recognition for the staff member from Greece (I'm sorry that I do not remember his name), but he was especially helpful and welcoming. One suggestion: we asked about transportation to Trasti and Trine. A person at the desk offered to give us a ride in the van and pick us up. I tipped them for their effort - but was very surprised when presented with a hefty bill the next day. I should have been told the 10 minute ride would cost > $130 each way. Otherwise, everything was wonderful

Absolutely amazing!

We had an amazing stay! The hotel is beautiful and view from the room is just stunning. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Before arrival I contacted the reception and the helped us with a program, booked tours and activities and transport to/from the airport. The activities where uniq experiences like dogsledding and nothern lights tour. Hiking is also possible in the beautiful landscape. The breakfast is delicious and dinner in the Maku Restaurant is exatraordinary. I highly recommend to visit Sorrisniva.

Das Hotel ist an und für sich ganz gut. Personal sehr zuvorkommend. Wir waren eine Nacht in der Lodge. Schockierend für mich war, dass man die heiße Schokolade beim Frühstück extra bezahlen musste, in jedem billigen Hotel ist die heiße Schokolade beim Frühstück inkludiert und der Preis 95Nok für eine einfache heiße Schokolade ist übertrieben. Zudem wird der komplette Eingangsbereich vom Parkplatz zum Eingang nicht vom Eis befreit. Für so ein teures Hotel ist das kein gutes Service

Hurmaava kohde

Sorrisniva tarjoaa hetken luksusta pohjoisessa reissatessa. Kaikki toimii ja on laadukasta. Toista kertaa vierailemassa, eikä jää viimeiseksi.
