Beautiful location and a lovely resort, but unfortunately our stay was affected by several issues. We were overcharged for the sauna and, despite being assured that the refund would be processed and providing our bank details, we are still waiting for it more than six weeks later. We also experienced some confusion regarding our breakfast and the stove in our cabin was not working. We understand that things can go wrong, but the follow-up and handling of these issues has been disappointing. Hopefully the resort can improve its customer service and communication going forward.

We stayed in the junior suite and the room and view were spectacular! We had to leave early and the staff prepared us a breakfast bag to go. Wonderful! We were there for a wedding and the venue was so beautiful. Every attention to detail. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating.

Beautiful place by the fjords. Blessed to see the northern lights both nights that we were there by just stepping outside the hotel restaurant and out at our cabin balcony. Absolutely amazing and hassle free. Restaurant offered nice meals. We were 9 traveling together. 6 of us stayed at a beautiful cabin and 3 at the hotel. Staff very nice and helpful. Manager very kindly offered help to my daughter when my granddaughter needed medical attention. He drove them to the medical facility, waited and drove them back. He was truly a Good Samaritan. We are forever grateful. Malangen is beautiful but it is a secluded place. Be prepared. No taxis, other restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy… just the hotel, cabins and nature to enjoy. Also you need to be prepared to haul your luggage from the hotel reception to your cabin. But overall it is worth the visit. Highly recommend it. We went from Tromso in the shuttle buses they offer. A nice 1 1/2 hour ride

We booked here because some family members stayed 9 years ago and loved it, so we weren't as careful with checking reviews as we would normally be. The resort is very far from 4*. The apartments are tired and basic. The soft furnishings (sofa, cushions and blanket) in the living room are dirty and smelly. The bedrooms are tiny, with just beds and no other furniture, not even a bedside table. The shower cubicles are cheap plastic. The only great thing is the view over the fjord. If the weather is good then I'm sure it's a fantastic place to see the Northern Lights but if it's cloudy, as it was during our visit, then you won't see anything and you're stuck in one location. The activities are run by a separate company and the staff are lovely but completely untrained. We booked a trappers experience day, where we were meant to learn about local flora and fauna, and how to make a fire. In reality, it was just a snowshoe hike, which was gorgeous and fun but not what we thought we were getting. Our guide had only been at the resort for a few weeks and had been given minimal training, so didn't know the area very well (not his fault, he was doing his best). We also found out that some of the activities staff live in tiny near the dog yard in extremely basic conditions. There was actually a fire while we were there - likely caused by unsafe electrics (no injuries thankfully). The sauna was also not working properly. On the plus side, the hotel staff were friendly.
