Finnvikhaugen Rooms

Peaceful location, big living room and we could load the car.

Czarujące miejsce , przepiękny dom i przesympatyczny bardzo pomocny właściciel .

super veel verborgen extra's!!

On a adoré l’accueil et la compagnie d’Arthur ! On a bien profité du lieu, rigolé dans le sauna et se rouler dans la neige, faire une très chouette balade en raquettes

Pas assez passé de temps

Sisäänkirjautuminen erittäin sujuva ja onnistui täysin itsenäisesti. Huone sekä yleiset tilat siistejä. Sisustus hieno.

Sijainti hieman hankala.

Delikat og fint rom og fellesareal. God seng. Bra kjøkken.

Litt uoversiktlig å finne ut hvor man skulle henvende seg. 4 ulike firma på samme sted og bare et lite skilt ved siden av døra om overnattingen. Stor lastebil stengte den første innkjøringa, hvor skulle vi kjøre? Litt stress og kaos av personale på stedet pga arrangement. Uferdig terrasse der man kunne sitte i kveldssola. Lite tilrettelagt uteareal. Manglet spisebord ved kjøkken. Var bare skinnsalong med lavt salongbord. Kunne ønske litt flere gode knagger på rommet til håndklær og aktivitetstøy. De eneste knaggende hang veldig høyt på veggen. Savnet skilt om dusj på de aktuelle dørene. Et kartoppslag over hele området hadde vært flott, med info om bl.a grillplass.

The house is warm and welcoming, Everything is well thought out and nicely decorated. Johan is a wonderful host, a great person. There are 5 rooms (double bed) and 2 separated bathrooms (2 showers, 4 toilets and 4 sinks in total). Bed linen and towels are provided. The kitchen is very convenient, with everything you need to cook a proper meal. The dining-room has a tv, a fire place 3 sofas and a great view on the fjord. We made several walks in tne surroundings, the scenery is wonderful during winter time! You can borrow snowshoes if needed. We also spent 2 hours in the sauna, watching an endless sunset on the fjord, what a view!

Everything is perfect!

Very serene surroundings. One cat start a snowshoe hike right behind the property. Johan is very friendly and attentive and has lots of good advice and suggestions for the area. We also booked the sauna which was amazing and was overlooking the fjord.

I cannot recommend this place enough!! I wish we could have stayed longer. The location is amazing, with a view to the fjord. We rented the sauna - probably one of the most impressive sauna views you will ever get to witness. We had the chance to use the sleds down the hill, which was such a fun experience. Johan was so kind and helped us with everything. He has organised the place perfectly, even providing snow shoes, torches and overall suits. We even caught a glimpse of the aurora at night :)

Everything was perfect

Welcoming and practical. Very nice area to relax.

From the moment we entered the building, we felt at home. All these little details, the cosy fireplace, the cleanliness and of course the lovely sweet treats make this place the perfect spot to experience the calm but stunning nature of Northern Norway. Listening to Johan's stories about the items makes it even more special. We extended our stay from 1 planned night to 3 and could hardly leave. Johan provides a lot of equipment (such as snowshoes, reflecting vests, headlamps, ...) and there is even a sauna at the sea! We also enjoyed connecting with other travellers, the open space of the accommodation invites to do so. The facilities are very modern and well-maintained, the beds are probably the most comfortable ones we have ever slept in and the price is absolutely fair! For us, this accommodation is a clear 10/10! Johan and Gunn Heidi, thank you so much for your warm hospitality and all the passion you put into "Finnvikhaugen Rooms"! Hope to see you again someday.

The only bad thing was to leave, the stay was just perfect.

It had a lot of features and stuff

The shared bathroom

We were so blessed to have found Finnvikhaugen Rooms for our Christmas getaway! As we were flying on Christmas Day we couldn’t find any car hire and feared we’d be stuck at the Tromso airport for Christmas night. We were deeply thankful that Johan (the host) was able to pick us up from the airport, even having to brace the snow storm that was coming in. Johan’s place was absolutely marvellous 😍 with a cosy and warm setting in a white wonderland next to the sea. The rooms are immaculate and so clean. The lounge had a large window looking out to the hills and sea, with a roaring fire in the wood burner adding to the character and charm 😍 We were looking forward to dog sledding in the Arctic circle so booked the activity in the Malangen resort long before the holiday. However, the resort informed us the night before that unfortunately they had to cancel due to lack of snow! We were very disappointed but Johan kindly offered us the experience using his and his sister’s huskies ❤️ the huskies were so well looked after they were such a happy bunch 🤩 we sled though the hills, frozen lake and forest…we had the time of our lives! THANK YOU SO MUCH Johan and family ❤️ you are the kindest people we’ve ever met! The whole experience is beyond our expectations. I can’t recommend highly enough! Will not hesitate to come back 😁❤️

The host, Johan was amazing. He was kind, friendly and full of hospitality! He has mentioned us to get some groceries before coming there because it is located in the place that doesn't have a supermarket nearby. And the information was very useful and dinner preparation went smooth at the kitchen. He offered us sauna, wood stove and to chill on the couch with tv and that was exactly what we needed. we could relax fully and his hospitality touched our souls. The room was big enough for both of us and clean, the bed was comfortable and we could sleep well. The little tiny details of the ornaments in the facility was so cute to look at! Personally, I liked the little shoes with plants and wooden sauna backet with a ladle:) We would like to come back in summer in the good weather to meet him and stay there again!

It is one of the best places we have stayed overnight in Norway, on our way back to Tromso. Cosy & charming setting, comfy bed. The fire in the living room and the coffee machine is a big plus. And we saw Aurora Borealis :)

Everything

Superb rooms and extremely clean! Johan is an amazing host :)

Great place amongst nature next to the water. Very clean and tidy. All the facilities for cooking. Coffee machine and Johan made a cozy fire for me. Would definitely recommend staying here.

everything was perfect, good place to do some snow trekking walks, watch the aurora & fireplace in the evening.

We loved to stay at those wonderful rooms. The owner put so much love in every detail. And the owner is so warm-hearted and welcoming. He prepared the tracks for crosscountry skiing and snowshoe hiking for us, he told us when the northern lights appear, and we had very good talks and an amazing time with him. We are still so flashed by our experience we had at this wonderful place. And we miss it a lot already. This made our travels to Norway an amazing experience.

Great place, functional in a very special location if you are looking for a true nature experience

Nothing.

Johan is just amazing, a better Host rarely can be found. Room and accommodation just superbe as well.

Incredible, you can see auroras from your bed!

Modern, cozy, friendly wasching machine and dryer available

I strong recommend this place! Comfortable, cozy and beautiful :)

I've never rated an acommodation with a 10 but really, the place exceeded my expectations. Cozy, super clean and quiet, it's the kind of accommodation you want when looking for a place to relax and explore Norway, both in winter and summer. But not only this accommodation is exceptional, Johan went the extra mile to make us feel like at home, he made it the easier for us to enjoy our stay whenever he could, even helping us when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. Don't let the distance from Tromso scare you, this place is amazing :)

This is one of the best locations we have ever been in Norway. Great spot to see the Northern Light. Fireplace Spacious kitchen. Everything very clean. The beds slept perfect. We stayed 2 nights instead of 1 Johan does everything to make your stay the best.

Nothing !

It was very good, everything was fine, great place to stay. Johan is really nice host.

Everything! The place is done with real, genuine care. Every detail is thought through and you can really feel it. The location is also fantastic, i liked it more than Lofoten, but that's very subjective ofc. And the owner is really such a great and kind person!

Nothing at all

Absolutely amazing! Johan answered the phone very late on a Friday night and was able to accommodate 4 stranded travelers. The decor is all so beautiful and well thought out. The place was spotless considering they weren´t even expecting anyone and the kitchen was well equipped and ready to use. Beds were huge and so comfy, the room has everything you need and the common area is so cosy with the fire being lit before we arrived. You are out in the nature (expect classic bad Norwegian roads to get there) but feel well looked after and safe. We just can´t wait to come back and visit again.

Great host. Great property. Felt like home. It was a great stay. Very comfortable, and the host was awesome. He started a fire for us and offered dinner. Will stay here again! Also a great spot for the northern lights. View from the rooms is perfect for viewing in the warmth and comfort.

Nothing.

This was the cleanest accommodation ever (and we travel quite a lot), so cozy and comfortable, one feels at home immediately.

very cozy, comfortable, not expensive. Room was warm and clean, comfortable bed. kitchen well equipped. they also have snow shoes, rain jackets, and other stuff for hiking. And also outside in the trees,every morning you can see squirrel 😁

too good for this price 😁

We had such a great time at Finnvikhaugen Rooms. The location is absolutely stunning with multiple northern lights opportunities during our stay (goal accomplished!!). Johan’s is very friendly and helpful and his property is great for hiking, lake activities and enjoying the nature - the property comes stocked with winter boots, clothes and reflective gear. The kitchen is full of high quality professional equipment and anything you might need for making breakfast or dinner. Johan also kindly offered to rent us a car - very useful for travelling around

Everything exceeded our expectations

Without doubt one of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at! Fresh and recently renovated. The rooms were super comfy and designed with lovely finishing touches. Very clean including the shared bathrooms and kitchen. The owner is very friendly. We are definitely coming back in the future!!

Despite the slightly remote location, it was great for sightseeing Tromsø as the drive was very scenic.

This is the most amazing place I've ever stayed at. Johan is the best host! The place is super nice and cozy, everything is perfect. Snow equipment is at disposal so we went for the walk in the mountain nearby with snowshoes and were able to see the northern lights! There are no words to say how much I would recommand this place!! So do yourself a favor and book a room for some unforgettable memories!

All was great ! the location with an amazing view near Bardufoss airport very convenient when you arrive late (22pm) . you have a code to enter by yourself for that time. The furniture are so good and all is decorated with taste. The kitchen is very well equipped . And last but not least the manager is very welcoming he offers 3 rooms for 2 as it was more comfortable for my girl and my dad to sleep on separate beds. we appreciate a lot.

This place I amazing! incredibly affordable. Everything in this place is arranged down to the smallest detail for our comfort. Located in a beautiful location with amazing views. All the equipment you could possibly need in the kitchen. Cozy areas for everyone with fireplace with amazing view, TV, games, guitar and more. There are even winter clothes to borrow in various sizes. Very fresh and clean rooms & toilets. The rooms are spacious with sofas/armchairs, wardrobes, fridge, TV and large comfortable double beds with fresh beddings. We are so grateful that we ended up right here!

Great experience staying at Finnvikhaugen Rooms, the bed was comfortable and the room had everything we needed. You obviously need a car to move around but the area surrounding is beautiful and has many hiking routes. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we felt welcomed all the time. We would have loved to stay a bit longer. I definitely recommend this accomodation.

Maybe we would have wanted a bit more indications when arriving, however, we could reach out to the staff easily and they replied straight away so nothing major.

Everything was great.

The place is incredible and the host is amazing! Everything that you need is there. Kitchen is fully equipped and there are also overalls that you can borrow to keep you warm while watching the northern lights. The atmosphere is amazing and the decorations in the corridor make this place very special and cosy. The host really put his heart into this. There is a possibility to self check-in, but the host will still ensure you have everything you need. We felt very welcommed, thank you!

it’s so comfortable, warm, the interior design it’s amazing I love it every part of it!

Beautiful location. staff is kind. Room is very clean and comfortable.

We have never experienced such warmth in one place. It's not just that the house is beautiful, the spacious room, with the most comfortable bed in all of Norway, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a view of the fjord, leather armchairs, a TV and a coffee machine. It's not just the spacious kitchen with all the items you might need. Neither are their bathrooms new and super clean. What we liked the most is the MAGIC that happens there. Don't bother looking for her all over Lapland. We want to confirm that Johan's house is the real house of Santa Claus. This kind carpenter has built it with his own hands. He won't admit it, but you can see his sleigh on the roof. Northern lights in front of the most wonderful mountains, having a hot chocolate offered by the host with the most delicious Christmas cookies. As if this were not enough, I suffered a mishap with my leg and suddenly Johan appeared with some saving crutches. When things are done with the heart, you can notice it. That is why we assure you that it is much more than just accommodation. We loved it so much that we came back again to enjoy it for a few more days, and we can only recommend it with all our strength.

Amazing atmosphere, very cosy and the fireplace makes it a lovely place

Easy check in, nice fireplace, comfortable bed, very clean bathroom + shower, all you need to cook in the kitchen + fridge, parking lot, everything was more than perfect thanks :)

Extraordinary place, above standard facilities and cleanliness, really caring owner, my full recommendation

Just perfect - very modern, well equipped and comfortable. The kitchen is far superior to most private ones. You can really feel at home.

Getting there is a bit strenuous for the suspension. ;-)

It's a really cozy and warm place, really worth the drive. Would definitely stay there again. The check-in was very smooth. The rooms are comfortable, very good duvets. Bed linen and towels are included in the price. The shared kitchen is very well equipped, shared bathrooms are nice and well planned. In general, if you like peace and quiet, I recommend staying a few days. It's a perfect place to take a break from intensive travelling. The views around are amazing and there are beautiful forests nearby (there are berries, if you arrive at the right time). However, make sure to have enough food with you as otherwise you will have to drive to the nearest town. Neither of the roads leading to Finnvikhaugen Rooms are perfect, but the worst parts have now been fixed.

comfort 5 star

The rooms had everything we needed and the softest bed I’ve ever stayed in. All facilities seemed brand new and there was a big kitchen to cook in. The host Johan was very friendly and helpful. The entrance to the rooms were on the back side of the building, I hope this helps someone else.

I have nothing bad to say about Finnvikhaugen Rooms, but the drive was a long way on a very poor road and there were nowhere to buy food nearby. The host had been very kind to inform us to buy food before arriving, so it was all good for us.
