"We had an absolutely unforgettable stay here! From the moment we arrived, Esther made us feel so welcome with her thoughtful and caring hosting. The house itself is incredible—beautiful, cozy, and perfectly located, 15 min drive from the airport, to enjoy Tromsø and the surrounding islands.
The highlight of our trip was, without a doubt, the Northern Lights. We were incredibly lucky to witness a long and stunning aurora display right from the house—and honestly, it was even better and longer than what we experienced on a guided aurora tour. Being able to watch it comfortably from the property made the experience even more magical. If you're hoping to see the aurora, this place gives you an amazing chance.
Esther’s recommendations were also spot-on and really helped us make the most of our stay.
We left feeling grateful for such a special experience and would recommend this place without hesitation. Truly a perfect stay!
The only downside I would say is that the hot tub has a fixed price for a day. But also understandable as someone needs to be available for switching on/off.
Overall a wonderful experience"
"The apartment has 2 bedrooms with a spacious living and dining room. It has a big screen TV, a big comfortable sofa and a well equipped kitchen. The temperature in the apartment is well regulated but changing the temperature seemed to take some time. There are enough lightings in the apartment but we did have struggles with some of the light switches.
The cleanliness was very good. The amenities were working well. We were given a dedicated parking lot to park our rental car, just beside the apartment - a big plus for us.
We were hoping to see the Northern Lights from the living room of this apartment. Unfortunately, the sky was always cloudy and it was raining and snowing during our entire stay there. We did venture out to nearby viewing spots but the sky just never clear up!
We had a great stay at the apartment and enjoyed the snow-covered sceneries around."
"The accommodation was fantastic, the location has amazing scenery on the waters edge and great views of Tromso. It is about a 20 minute bus ride from the airport, so ideal."
"The room was dirty, especially the toilet. There are no good views from ANY of the rooms except for the very front row as the hotel is perpendicular to the water. We had a view of sheds with a pretty mountain all the way off to the side. This is NOT worth the money. The restaurant is pretty but we spend 75USD on a burger, side of fries and desert. Extremely overpriced. We left a night early because of the uncleanliness and lack of laundry, mini fridge and just amenities in general. They give you the absolute bare minimum down to the toile paper. However, the staff was incredible and kind. They refunded us our last night which I am grateful for so we didn’t have to pay for two hotels for one night. Thank you for that. Overall, choose another accommodation, you won’t get what you need here, not even the basics. Parking was fine, don’t use their EV charger. It took about 4 hours for 50%. "
"Loved the property but after we left the host tried to scam us by saying we left the place without tidying up. He wanted 1000NOK/£70. I told him we videoed the entire place showing it was spotless before we left, and he quickly told us to not worry about the 1000NOK. The place was also advertised as a 3 bedroom house yet he failed to tell us that one of the bedrooms is his private bedroom and is not to be used! I would return to Finnsnes, but never to this place."
