Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge

Warning... if a hurricane occurs and your cruise ship skips the port, this company thinks it is acceptable to keep your money. Shame on them for thinking this is acceptable way to conduct business. I have written several times requesting a refund and they just ignore my messages.

I had the privilege of staying at Sorrisniva Wilderness Lodge, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the stunning Norwegian wilderness, this lodge exceeded my expectations in every way. The lodge's remote location offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the Alta river. The rooms were snug, well-appointed, and impeccably clean. The wooden interiors added a warm, rustic touch, making it feel like a home away from home. The staff were warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. The lodge's restaurant served delicious, locally-inspired meals that warmed the heart and soul. We were extremely fortunate to witness the breathtaking Northern Lights . A special thanks to Natalia who immediately informed us as soon as the lights were visible. Overall, Sorrisniva Wilderness Lodge is a must-visit destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those seeking tranquility in the Arctic wilderness. I would return in a heartbeat!

One of the nicest hotels I've ever visited and in one of the most beautiful natural settings I've ever seen. This hotel is designed so well to let the outside in. I loved the decor, the bedding, the views, the food, the staff. Sitting on the deck by the river was magical. Our excursions were fun and educational. We stayed in the actual hotel, not the ice hotel, during the month of September. I felt so relaxed and happy at Sorrisniva.

I had the dates wrong when I made the reservation. I try to cancel this within 30 minutes after i made the reservation. This was cancelled but without refund.

The owner of the lodge, Hans Ulrich, yelled at me and aggressively slammed my car door because I charged my car at the wrong station at the hotel’s parking lot. This was after I checked out having payed thousands of euros. A totally unacceptable overreaction by someone who shouldn’t be in the hospitality business. Alta is beautiful and a must visit, but don’t stay in this lodge. Being fair, Alona at the front desk was wonderfully nice and tried to help with the situation, but she is clearly a star at the wrong place.

The hotel was simply exceptional and we highly recommend. The food was local and so tasty. The bed was comfy and the view of the river and potential nothern lights was so perfect. We loved everything about our stay

We stayed in the lodge after having spent a night in the Ice Hotel. Built in 2021, the lodge is of a very high standard, beautifully designed and well thought out. The rooms are lovely and each have floor-to-ceiling windows for taking in the view, and a roof window for looking at the Northern Lights. The staff are very friendly, keen to make your stay a pleasure and genuinely proud of their hotel. The atmosphere was so relaxing. Highly recommend.

The log was very comfortable with a large sitting room that walked into their fine dining restaurant. The room had large windows, games, lots of seating and a fireplace. There was free water, tea and caffeine beverages all the time at a couple of stations. There was a delightful spa where you could get a message (extra), sit in the sauna or whirlpool for an hour at a time included in igloo room charge. The food in both restaurants was delicious. Breakfast was like a fantasy of different foods and textures. We came to the lodge to go snowmobiling (great up to date equipment and fast lessons), reindeer with Sami experience and the northern lights gazing. Exceptional experience all around. It was exhilarating, exciting, a little freighting and downright relaxing. I recommend it for anyone looking to get out of their comfort zone, do something fun and possibly have never done before.

everything was amazing. More than expected. I dont know why this is not a 5 stars hotel. Everyone was very welcoming and nice, the food was delicious, the rooms were very cozy, with AMAZING VIEWS. We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. The tours were fantastic! Thanks for everything.
