The House of Aurora II

Modernes Appartement nahe am Fjord. Großes Badezimmer, bequemes Bett. Waschmaschine und Trockner vorhanden. Gratis Parkplatz. Hund darf gratis mit.

Meerblick sehr eingeschränkt, zuerst sieht man die Autos am Parkplatz. Leider nur oberflächlich geputzt, unter dem Sofa lag allerlei Abfall, da wurde schon ein paar Monate nicht mehr geputzt. Keine Lade Möglichkeit für Elektroautos. Anstatt am Morgen bequem loszufahren muss man erst 20 Minuten zur nächsten Ladestation fahren und verliert täglich 1 Stunde Urlaubszeit. Küche eher klein mit wenig Ausstattung, wer gerne selber kocht ist hier falsch. Schlafzimmer lässt sich nicht komplett abdunkeln was mit der Mitternachtssonne im Sommer problematisch ist.

Die Lage der Unterkunft, das Bad war seht gut. Wer weiche Matratzen mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Betten waren überzogen.

Die Unterkunft ist für max. 3 Personen geeignet. Spülmittel und Spülltuch haben gefehlt.

Emplacement pratique, pas loin de Tromso en voiture tout en étant dans la nature avec vue sur un fjord. Appartement très bien équipé, il y avait à la fois un lave vaisselle, un lave linge et un sèche linge, tout ce qu'il fallait dans la salle de bain (même un défroisseur vapeur!) et la cuisine était correctement équipée. Très bonne literie. Informations communiquées par la propriétaire suffisamment à l'avance.

La vue depuis l'appartement était moins dégagée pour voir le fjord qu'on ne le pensait et il n'y avait pas vraiment d'espace extérieur utilisable.

Przepiękny apartament. Wspaniali gospodarze. W tym miejscu czujesz się jak w domu. Wszystko pięknie przygotowane. Wyposażone we wszystko czego potrzebujesz. Przepiękna lokalizacji. Gospodarze tak się nami zaopiekowali że aż słów brak.

Idilična lokacija, zelo praktično za pohode po različnih koncih Kvaloye. Novo, moderno opremljeno, velika in udobna postelja, ogromna topla kopalnica. Pralni in sušilni stroj.

Kuhinja bi lahko bila večja. Žal smo imeli nekaj težav z gretjem vode, a smo jih s prijaznim gostiteljem uspešno odpravili.

Lokalizacja i wyposażenie

The apartment met all our expectations. It is clean, comfortable, and functional. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The kitchen is well equipped and provides everything necessary for preparing meals. The bed and pillows in the bedroom are very comfortable, and the high-quality bedding ensures a cozy and restful sleep, even on cooler days. The location is another great advantage. It is situated in a quiet area while still being close to Tromsø, making it an excellent base for exploring the region. Convenient private parking is located directly in front of the house. The apartment is on the ground floor and features a terrace at the entrance, offering a beautiful view of the fjord — an ideal spot for enjoying a morning coffee or relaxing after a full day of sightseeing. We stayed there at the beginning of the summer season. Choosing this apartment was an excellent decision. The hosts were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We received advice on exploring the region from them. They provided us with practical information about the most interesting places and attractions in this part of Norway. Thanks to their recommendations, we adjusted some of our travel plans, which turned out to be a very positive decision. We are sure we will return there. We would recommend this apartment to anyone planning to visit Northern Norway.

Confort de l'appartement très lumineux. Situé au calme, accessible par bus si besoin. Il ne manque rien pour passer un super séjour Hôtes très accueillants et disponibles.

Everything was perfect. Spotlessly clean, welcoming host, fully equipped with anything you need and much more, and some reindeer came to greet us by the window in the morning. The apartment is bigger than what it looks on the pictures, with a separate bedroom, living room/kitchen, laundry room and big bathroom. Esfjordbotn is a dreamy village. Amazing value in May.

Nothing

the view is nice, the atmosphere is calm

there is no living room so it is not possible to chat

Super friendly owners, very comfy beds

The host was very responsive and even took on the initiative to inform us about the auroras outside (much appreciated). Nicely placed the apartment had practically everything we needed.

Super well-equipped apartment in a prime location, very comfortable beds, and everything you need is provided. We can recommend it 100%.

L'appartement est dans un endroit paisible où l'on peut vraiment voir des aurores boréales de la maison. L'appartement est très bien équipé. L'hôte est super et répond très rapidement. A partir de l'appartement, vous pouvez facilement faire des randonnées raquette ou ski de fond mais attention il faudra louer le matériel à Tromso.

Wspaniałe miejsce na pobyt w okolicach Tromso, apartament jest przytulny, czysty, ciepły wyposażony we wszystko co potrzeba. Okolica jest przepiękna, sprzyja oglądaniu zorzy polarnej, a właściciele mili i pomocni. Na pewno wrócimy tutaj kiedy ponownie będziemy w Tromso 💚

Lovely cosy property

A little further out of Tromso than I would have liked

Calling us for Aurora sighting

Gut erreichbar, Parkplatz direkt vor dem Zimmer/Apartment. Nette Gastgeber, mit dennen wir aber nur per Nachrichten kontakt hatten. Haben uns sogar auf Nordlichter an einem Abend hingewiesen. Check in/out unkompliziert (Keybox). Miniküche gut ausgestattet, auch Microwelle/Kaffeemaschine etc. Auch die einfachen Dinge die man so morgendlich braucht wie Kaffee/Tee/Zucker/Gewürze alles da. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Keine Lademöglichkeit am Parkplatz vorhanden, auch keine Ladestation in der Nähe. (Achtung es gibt nur E-Autos zu mieten in Norway) Für zwei Erwachsene ausgelegt, zu Dritt geht, ist aber für längeren Aufenthalt nicht praktikabel.

Sehr nette und freundliche Gastgeber.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It is out of town, which I was specifically looking for to maximise my prospect of seeing the northern lights. On my first night I received a message from the host telling me to go outside as the lights had made an appearance. I was so grateful! While the location might be a little out of Tromso, there are very regular buses which go right past the property (and run quite late), and it’s also an easy drive in. The washing machine and dryer were a big bonus.

When I booked I mistakenly thought the property was 2 storeys and I would have an elevated view of the fjord. This property is on the ground floor however. I am 100% sure that it’s my fault and I didn’t read the listing correctly. The view from the ground floor was still good, just not quite what I had expected in my mind.

This place is right across from the snow-capped mountains! The scenery is beautiful. We stayed for two nights, and it was a great experience. Of course, we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights! It was amazing!

NA

The house was very confortable and the hosts were great! The think we love most was the beautiful landscapes from the window. Super cozy place to stay near Tromso!!

Gute Lage in kleinem Ort mit nettem Cafe

Es war alles sehr gut, etwas weihnachtliche Beleuchtung wäre nett gewesen.

Jeden z najlepszych obiektów w jakim mieliśmy okazję być. Cudowni właściciele, bardzo pomocni, bardzo zaangażowani, czuliśmy się jak u rodziny. Apartament ma wszystko i nawet więcej. Na wyposażeniu była kawa, herbata, przyprawy, mikrofala, ekspres z akcesoriami i wiele innych rzeczy. Pokój piękny, przytulny położny w cudownym miejscu. W apartamencie było cieplutko, bardzo czysto i bardzo wygodnie. To jest wzór dla innych apartamentów! Wrócimy tam na pewno. Apartament położny w bajkowej i przepięknej miejscowości tylko 15-20min jazdy od Tromso.

Mostly, the host and the location. This is the best place if you wish to hunt the aurora yourself. And the host will help you know the best viewing times and spots as well as attractions nearby.

The only concern is the distance from the city center. Having said that, being far from the city lights is what makes it a perfect location for viewing the auroras from the property.

בעלי המקום אדיבים ועזרו לנו גם בדברים שזה לא חובתם, הדירה עצה נהדרת אפילו מכונת כביסה ומייבש, מאוד ניהננו ואנחנו אסירי תודה

הכול אהבנו

Ubicación perfecta , zona muy tranquila

Nós viajamos por 3 semanas pela Europa e, de forma geral, ficamos em hotéis 4 e 5 estrelas, esta foi a única propriedade privada que reservamos e as expectativas eram altas pelas avaliações por aqui. Posso dizer com segurança que foi o melhor lugar que ficamos em toda a viagem. O espaço é amplo, bem decorado, limpo, com tudo que necessitávamos, os hosts foram muito atenciosos e o lugar é simplesmente lindo. Vale muito a pena e eu já vou indicar este lugar para todos que vão para Tromso. Foi incrível.

Nada.

Neubau, sehr sauber, riesiges Bad ca. 10 qm, inmitten einer kleinen Siedlung (50 Häuser) mit Blick auf den Fjord.

Sehr winziges Wohnzimmer, Küche (ca. 9 qm) mit Sofa, für nicht für mehr als 2 Personen geeignet, da nur 2 Barhocker + Bartisch 70x30 cm als Essgelegenheit vorhanden, alles minimalistisch. Außengelände noch im Bau.

Agréable séjour. Logement tout à fait conforme à la description. Logement au calme à environ 30 min du centre, propre et très bien équipé. Communication facile par mail avec les propriétaires.

Compleix totes les expectatives. Bona situació, entorn molt tranquil, apartament molt net i ben equipat.

Mooie ligging! Net en schoon appartement. We kregen zelfs de tip dat het noorderlicht aanwezig was en locaties waar je het beste naar toe kon gaan om het nog beter te zien. Vriendelijke eigenaar! Alles was top! 👍🏼

Kontakt z właścicielem Marcinem bardzo dobry, mieszkanie super, miejsce bardzo dobre. Polecam!

Proponuje wymienić żarówki na troszkę mocniejsze.

everything here, the house is very clean and comfortable.

Not didnt like, maybe it is a bit far from Tromso if you dont have a car.

Nos gustó todo, el apartamento, su excelente ubicación, la simpatía, disponibilidad y amabilidad de los anfitriones, y lo limpio y cuidado que estaba el apartamento, de los mejores en los que he estado en Noruega.

Wat een mooie ligging. Het huisje was erg goed ingericht. Ook de eigenaren waren super aardig.

De bedden.

In een woord: alles

Helemaal niets

the view to the fjord was beautiful! the location was excellent, close to many hiking paths and short drive to city. the apartment was very clean and well equipped. The owner was very nice and helpful!

Erittäin siisti, hotellinomainen huoneisto vuonon rannan tuntumassa. Toimiva pikku keittiö. Sänky pedattu valmiiksi, koirasta ei lisämaksua. Pyykinpesukone tosi hyvä reissussa! Sijainti erinomainen.

Trevlig, fräsch och välstädad lägenhet med alla faciliteter.

Good location to fjord viewpoint.

The place was amazing! And the host was incredible, they helped us to start the fire pit and was very helpful in pointing out nearby cafes and guidance on how and where to view the northern lights

Nothing it was perfect

Quiet, peaceful location along the fjord coast. A walkable viewpoint offered stunning vistas of the city from one side and the fjord from the other. The place was really clean and comfortable. Hosts were fantastic, very communicative and welcoming. There is a grocery store about 10 minutes' drive so we could easily get all the food we needed.

Amazing location and the apartment was maintained to a very high standard

Really beautiful location, views are just picturesque and easily reachable on foot. The apartment is very clean, bed is comfortable and has everything one would need for a few nights stay. The hosts were responsive and accommodating. Closest supermarket can be reached by bus which is easily accessible near the house. Would definitely return again!

None.

Spacious bathroom with a good shower.

What is there not to like? The apartment is perfect. Everything you need, even hair straighteners! The bed we didn't want to get out of, it was so comfy. Amazing warm and powerful shower. Handy kitchen with everything you need. And a utility room with washer and dryer. The location is idyllic. Such a beautiful village. And that view! Just wow! Breathtaking. Shop and cafe only 5 mins walk down the road on the edge of the fjord. Stunning but very expensive. Bus stop a little closer. Our hosts were wonderful, charming and kind and little Queen Molly the dog is such a cutie. If you want a warm friendly stay in Norway this is the place you need to be. We came over for my 50th and had the best weekend of our lives made even better by Karolina, Marcin and their gorgeous family. We are very sad to leave, but we will most definitely be returning. Thank you for the memories. We had the best fun ever. Xx

The thing we didnt like was going home 😉

Location and apartment were fantastic! Saw the Aurora 3 times during our 5 day stay within 10 minutes of here and the apartment was clean, well stocked and hosts went above and beyond to be helpful.

We had an amazing stay at this accommodation. We could see the auroras directly in front of the house multiple times.The kitchen was excellently equipped and had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and modern. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always available. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place!

Everything was perfect

I like it so much

Close enough to Tromso, yet far enough to get away from the city life and feel the nature. On our 3rd evening, we saw the Aurora from a view-point that's 5 minutes walk from the house. (photo attached). Waking up on the 4th morning and seeing a couple of Raindeer walking down the road at a leasurley pace. Hostess gave us plenty of tips for places to visit & things to see/do.

Liked every moment. This was one of the best experiences we had in all our travels. Planning to return in Summer for the view.

The quiet, the view, the kindness and hospitality of hosts. Also the apartment was spotless clean and was fully equipped, cosy and warm.

Everything was neat and clean. Kichen fully equipped with utensils. Host was very kind and nice! Short walk to the water for the fjord view. We got a chance to see the beautiful Northern lights.. Overall, a wonderful experience at House of Aurora!

None

The flat was so cozy and spacious, we loved the big windows and kitchen. Plenty of space to store some clothes and great parking. Also the location was perfect. We didnt even need to book a Northern Light Tour, since we found them right around the corner of the flat. The hosts are super friendly, helpful and respond very fast.

That we didn't book the flat for longer.

Everything!!!

None

Lovely quiet stay. Well equipped and comfortable.

Review of the stay in Tromso Ersfjordvegen We stayed in an apartment in the area and had a great time. The apartment was very nice, clean and equipped with all the comforts needed for a relaxing holiday. The location is ideal, quiet and close to everything you need to enjoy the Northern Lights: the shops are within easy reach. The owner is extremely helpful and attentive to all our needs, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience in Tromso

The accommodation was great, and the view was amazing! A lot of amenities and really clean. Will definitely come back! Thank you

Everything was great!

We really appreciate all the equipments of the appartment and its cleanliness. Everything was really simple A very good spot of your looking for something in Tromso

I thought it would be closer of the fjord

Exceptional value for money Well equipped kitchen and bathroom Super comfy bed Amazing view overlooking fjords Free parking space 20 min by car to Tromsø airport Easy and fast communication with hosts beforehand

The size of the apartment is quite small. Not complaining, as it worked perfectly fine for us, but it can get a bit cosy with 3 persons, considering that one room serves as kitchen and living room (including a sleeping couch)

Beautiful location as well as beautiful facilities

In order to get into town you needed a car

The location of the house. Super easy to navigate through the island of Kvaløya . I would recommend this place 100% if you are looking for a nice place and wants to go for Aurora around the island. The suggested NL spots are within 30 mins of driving . The Ersfjord view point on top of the hill is 5 min walk and same to go down to the water level .

Marcin is a very nice host. Everything was exactly as you would expect. The apartment was very clean, the location was very good. A great place for hiking around the area, as well as a good starting point for visiting nearby attractions.

Foremost, the amazing hosts! House was outside the lights of Tromsø and easy to find darkness for skywatching. Nice places to hike, easy drives sightseeing, hiking, town.

Nothing to put here. Maybe a couple of pairs of guest snowshoes available would be a nice touch

It's a wonderful, cosy apartment. It's a bit further out from the city centre which you can reach by buses although they are infrequent. It would be a wonderful property to book if you rent a car! It has all the amenities we needed. Very cosy and comfortable.

If I had to nitpick the bedroom didn't have a heater but the comforters were very warm! I had a good sleep regardless!

The apartment is in a great location in Ersfjord. Walk a few minutes to reach Ersfjord view point, an ideal aurora viewing point. We were so lucky to see the Northern Lights on our first night at the apartment. Marcin and Karolina are wonderful people, they guided us very well and showed us the ideal place to see the aurora. Their apartment is very cozy and comfortable, complete with everything necessary. We feel like we are at home. In particular, there is a bus close to home, making traveling during the week easy. The trip couldn't have been more perfect, we celebrated my mother's birthday with the northern lights and -17 degrees Celsius in Tromso. Thank you so much Marcin and Karolina. If you come here to hunt for the northern lights, this is an ideal choice.

Great location for northern lights

Not enough dishes or washing sponge

Excellent for Aurora

This is a typical house for rent... well equipped, not far from the city, with a good view. The kitchen is very comfortable. It's nice that there is a washing machine and dryer. It's quite nice to walk around.

The attitude of the owners is simply disgusting. We asked for the only thing that is critical for us - good Wi-Fi (we work remotely), to which we were told that everything would be fine and we had nothing to worry about. When we checked in, it was barely possible to send a message through this Wi-Fi. Of course, the owners did nothing. I understand that there may be problems, that the Internet may not work - this is quite normal. If we had known about this, we simply would not have chosen this place or wound have planned our work differently. But to blatantly convince that everything is fine when nothing works there (and what’s more, we looked through the reviews - this problem has been observed before) is simply a mockery. Proof screenshots are attached. Also, the bed is extremely soft, it's a torture for a back.

Very nice apartment located at the beautiful Ersjefjord. The hosts were very kind and responsive. The house of Aurora made its name and gifted us with some incredible northern light!

Really great location for the northern lights ! We saw them all three nights we stayed at the property - there are some great view points in walking distance and driving distance ! I told the owner we were going as our honey moon and they went the extra mile and left us a bottle of wine with lovely heart confetti , it made the stay feel so special!

Such a cozy and clean house! Really enjoined the stay because of the beautiful location, the fjord is in front of the house and you can see the mountains trough the window. Unfortunately we had no luck with the lights but the nature around the house was still worth it! Will hopefully come back someday :)

New apartment, silent location, great spot for aurora borealis chasing.

Pls add pan + small sharp knife to the kitchen inventory.

Gorgeous views! We woke one morning to multiple rainbows and a reindeer passing by. Another morning we woke to see snow capped mountains. It was just a short walk to the fjord, a small waterfall and an amazing cafe. The property itself was clean and provided everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable! The shower was one of the nicest we have seen. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

The only thing I can think of was that it took us a bit to figure out how to use the stove….

Clean, quiet, friendly people, it was far enough outside of town but not too far. Nice local grocery store just down the road and beautiful views right outside the window. Walking distance to a very nice cafe on the water. Will be back to stay here again.

We thought everything was fine and didn’t have any complaints.

The apartment is almost new, beautifully decorated, clean, of high quality and well equipped. An almost unobstructed view of the fjord, although the location is not right on the beach.

The yard area is still unfinished, but the small terrace is enough for two adults to stay.

Very well maintained and comfortable. Host was very helpful and responsive both prior to arrival and during our stay. The location was outside of town and quiet; however, it was a short drive into Tromso and easily accessable to other areas.

amazing location and surroundings, perfect facilities, far from the city

the only thing - too soft mattress

Excellent location with a magnificent view to the fjords near to wildlife. Everything inside the house was very modern and practical even to be with our dogs around. Hosts Karolin and Marcin fasted very fast to any questions and were helpful to make the stay enjoyable.

Bed and pillows were a bit too soft to our taste. Maybe a drying line in the toilet would be nice although there was a drier machine to keep your clothes dry. Some stomps and toilet flush noise could be heard a little late from upstairs but not too much to bother at nights.

nice, but not a 10. large double bed, large modern bathroom, and warm.

feel oversold and over hyped by previous reviewers. lack of privacy, we had a car parked outside our bedroom window and we felt we had to keep the curtains closed. the view from the apartment was interrupted by a neighbour’s garage. the location is 15 minutes drive from the local supermarket and park and ride bus to Tromso (35 minutes journey) but the apartment is not removed from suburbia, being one of a number of apartments along the road. all minor picky points but we have experienced better from 9+ rated accommodation.
