"Excellent location with a view over the river to see the northern lights. There are plenty of places to eat working walking distance. Comfortable beds but flat almost pointless pillows. They have a nice assortment of teas in the room and a few packets of instant coffee. Very nice lobby with fireplace. Very nice staff. Definitely recommended. "

"This was a great find for us for a one-night's stay. We stayed in the building behind the main buidling - the room is tiny but our primary need was a bed and shower. Seemed recently renovated - clean and modern. The view from the room was a wide open field which, lucky for us, allowed us to see the Northern Lights from bed! The staff was nice and we paid the $2,000kr for breakfast in morning - maybe a tad overpriced but considering how remote you are from town, it was totally worth it - your typical European-style breakfast. Given the very reasonable price, totally recommend for those who want (a chance) to see the Northern Lights from the comfort of a hotel property and not wandering random roads and fields at night."

5/5 Excellent
"These little cabins looked amazing online and didn't disappoint. They were quiet, comfortable and very spacious! We were able to grab some food from a near by store and made dinner in the cabins. The best part though was the dogs! They were lovely, even stayed outside our cabin and loved playing fetch and getting pets and rubs. They could play for hours and it was a blast! They greeted us as we came and kept running after us as we left. 10/10 would go again! Btw for the owner... they keep losing some of their toys under the porches so it seems that is where there 100's of toys go haha"
