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!

I loved every minute of staying with you. Every staff member was exceptional. Great attitudes and so kind and helpful. The thought that has gone in to the design, the activities and the food is obvious. Couldn’t be better. Thank you

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!

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!

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 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!

This is an incredible experience of seeing the arctic, northern lights, crazy nature, and dog sledding. The staff is amazing, the cabins are super cozy and nice, the ice hotel is an experience (you sleep on a sheet of ice in a sleeping bag). Def a trip to remember!
