The igloo hotel was amazing! Can't say enough good things about this place. The artistry was amazing. The staff was so nice. They went out of their way to help us multiple times. They even came to tell everyone the northern lights were out. Would definitely recommend and stay there again

Stay in the ice hotel

The snow/ice hotel looks like it was constructed in a hurry and not many ice carvings, compared to others in Scandinavia. There were many spots on the ceilings that looked like water had entered and different colors. Small details but not worthy of the price charged. The main hotel facilities are fantastic and the staff was great!

The customer service was above and beyond what we expected. The amenities in the resort were fantastic. Breakfast selection was phenomenal. The Ice Igloo was surprisingly comfortable to sleep in - a once in a lifetime experience and worth it.

Fantasy Experience

Awesome experience! Slept in the ice hotel for two nights and it was some of the best sleep I've had. If I had one criticism, it would be the lack of info on the website explaining how it all works (i.e. you don't get to leave any of your things in the room because they run tours during the day). Small thing though and well worth the expense and travel to do it.

Most amazing place we’ve ever been to. Don’t worry about the cold. You are provided more than ample sleeping bag and we actually found ourselves more than warm enough. The sculptures are stunning as is the lighting and quietness. The excursions available are fantastic and if more than one night in ice hotel is enough for you, you can move into a regular indoor hotel room. There is ample warm common spaces to spend your day relaxing and sitting in front of a fire if you’d like.

Overall, good experience. Nice facilities, friendly staff and beautiful igloo hotel. I thought it was weird that we had to pick up our sleeping bags and pillows and carry them to our room inside the igloo. That process could be more seamless but everything else was great!

We absolutely had the most amazing time at sorrisniva last week, even with a couple hiccups. We reserved the hot tub, but our time was cut short due to someone else reserving it, but it really wasn’t a big deal to us and the hotel staff still discounted the price for the hot tub. We ate the most amazing dinner we had in our entire trip to Norway, the food was absolutely delicious! We then had a northern lights tour scheduled, the weather wasn’t that great the week we went and it was rainy and cloudy and unfortunately we didn’t see any northern lights that night but the guide was awesome. On our way back the road was so icy downhill that we slid off. My boyfriend and another man from the tour hopped out and pushed the van out of the deep snow. We were back on the road! But 5 minutes later we were sliding down the hill and went right back into the snow. We all hopped out and walked down the hill (I slipped a few times) and the owner from sorrisniva came and picked us up. However there wasn’t enough room for all of us so my boyfriend stayed behind to walk with the guide. Even though things didn’t go as planned, this made our adventure even more memorable. The staff was amazing and made sure we all got back safely. We also did the snowmobile tour in the morning before we left and this was my favorite part of our entire Norway experience. We drove up to the top of a mountain and it was untouched as far as I could see. We flipped our sled but it was still so amazing!!! Thank you!
