“Amazing time in the hut”
The hut was amazing. Staff was definitely friendly and very helpful on how to go around Senja. The small appartement next to the hut made the overall very comfortable and an amazing experience, even though we did not see the aurora due to the snowing weather!

“3 night stay to see the northern lights”
The room was really warm and comfortable. Very modern. And it was very relaxing looking out at the scenery from the huge windows. Johannes is doing his best with a lack of staff and facilities, and investment.

“Nice place to stay in the summer but probably even better in winter.”
A great getaway from populated areas and into the nature with big windows looking at mountains and forest. Enjoyed the jacuzzi after a dip in the cold sea water. Suggest visiting by car so you can also go to the must-visit places listed in the property's guide for tourists.

“In general very nice place with very friendly team! More oriented for winter aurora observation than to be used as base”
View from windows is excellent! Design of the place is very nice! And a perfect surprise that hair dryer had diffuser for curly hair! 👩🏽🦱

Paid 470€ for a room with jacuzzi. The room was nice but the hot tub was cold (25C at 10pm) and not usable. I tried to e-mail regarding the issue, but have received no reply within a week.

“Great location and rooms, but can easily be improved further.”
The panoramic views from the room are fabulous - a family of elk passed by our window one morning. Everything is clean and tidy and mostly appears newly constructed or else recently refurbished. Staff are very friendly. Check in/out was very easy. Great breakfast with good choice.

Absolutely stunning views of the Aurora Borealis from our room and outside in our jacuzzi. Lovely spacious apartments with a fantastic fireplace and truly panoramic windows. Loved the barn area with it's cute restaurant.
