    Having to decide all courses of evening meal, at breakfast time. Excursions were very expensive. Expected better breakfast for price paid.

    Location, comfortable, warm, friendly, shower good, free tea/coffee in reception.

    We just had one issue with a reindeer sleigh activity that we booked through the hotel. There was some sort of miscommunication between the reindeer company and the hotel, and we ended up with a bad experience and paying more than the cost if the service given to us. The hotel promised us a refund of the extra amount we paid, but took a very long time to deposit this into our account. It wasn’t until we complained to booking.com that they refunded us.

    We got an upgrade to a cottage with a kitchen and it was very beautiful. It was clean and comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We had dinner at the restaurant both nights and the food was good although quite expensive. It is a cosy hotel and we really loved our stay overall. There is a Mexican lady at the restaurant and she is very warm and kind. She went above and beyond to make sure we are eating well at breakfast. There is also a Philippino gentleman who is very helpful. The other staff were also courteous and friendly.

    Visit end Sep 23. One of my top 3 hotels out of over 30 I stayed at during my 5 week trip in Norway. Beautiful location with exceptional rooms, spaces and the most helpful and friendly staff out of all the places I stayed. Amazing food and ambiance. Contemporary and eclectic. Will definitely be back!

    The only thing that could be improved is the bed (in the cabin). The double bed consists of two small beds. In the morning you wake up with a gap in the middle. However, this is not really a big problem

    Our recent stay at Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that set the tone for an extraordinary experience. The cleanliness of the lodge was impeccable. Every corner exuded a sense of pristine care and attention to detail, making our stay feel not just comfortable but truly indulgent. What truly stood out was the culinary experience. The food was beyond exceptional; each dish was a masterpiece crafted with both skill and passion. From the hearty breakfasts to the sumptuous dinners, every meal was a delightful journey for the taste buds. Kudos to the chefs for their dedication to providing a gastronomic adventure! Equally impressive was the staff's friendliness and attentiveness. They went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met promptly and with genuine warmth. Their professionalism combined with their genuine care for guests truly made us feel at home. Overall, our stay at Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge was nothing short of phenomenal. The blend of remarkable cleanliness, delectable cuisine, and the kind-hearted staff created an experience that we'll cherish for years to come

    Absolutely loved our stay. We spent five weeks in Scandinavia and stayed in over two dozen lodgings, this was in the top five! Comfortable accommodations and wonderful food, but what really makes Bjornfjell special is the staff. Everybody was so pleasant!

    Room was quite hot but then we've stayed on the hottest day of the year. Small space for hanging things.

    All the staff spoke great English, made us feel welcome and relaxed. It's a peaceful, family run atmosphere which has been decorated beautifully throughout. The food at dinner was delicious- all three courses, and breakfast choices were very good too. Water pressure in the shower was great! Really nice small touches like the quality of the shampoo and showergel and that there was both hand wash and cream in the bathroom, gave it a more luxury spa feel. Plus having usb sockets built into the headboards made charging devices easy and not on the floor for once!! Overall though it's the staff that made us feel welcome and comfortable.

    A little disappointed that after contacting and requesting a restaurant menu (to meet the requirement to reserve a table 48 hours before), the menu was not available and only 2 options were available (the food was nice, but is pricey).

    Fantastic location and we were lucky enough to have spectacular views of aurora borealis. We stayed in a lodge; this was a good size, really comfortable and it was nice to put a log fire on. Breakfast and meals were served in the main building... slippers provided. Staff were helpful and friendly, doing some extra 'gritting' on the path to make it easier to get luggage to the lodge.

    Seems to us like the hidden gem of Alta — maybe they need to do more marketing. :-) It’s an amazing place, really lovely staff. We got an upgrade to our own hut, which was just amazing. The guides are helpful and also the breakfast was nice! Would definitely come back.

    Nothing to mention

    A bit outside of Alta in a beautiful mountain forest. The team was incredible helpful and friendly, preparing everything in a perfect way - there was no need to ask anything from our side. Pretty modern cabin with full view windows and a LOT of space. Dinner was excellent and the breakfast had everything you would like to have for a good start in the day. Really happy with our choice to stay there - so we will come back for sure. :)

    It is a bit pricey. Thin walls, it sounded like they were moving furniture upstairs at midnight so it was hard to sleep.

    Very cozy and modern lodge. We were very happy that the early check in was available. Very nice staff working in the morning, they even opened the breakfast one hour earlier for us. (Thank you so much Anja!) Very nice with the friendly sheep living right next to the lodge, our son really enjoyed feeding them.

    They are in a remote location but don't do lunch. So unless you travel or bring you're own food you go hungry. The staff seem to have no idea what they are doing.
