    The door to the room was not sealed and a lot of mosquitoes and even bees came in. The curtains were also not sealed enough and then when the sun is not exactly setting there is relatively a lot of light entering the room. I will mention that it is a bit difficult to wash the dishes because there is no tap in the room. Filling the water so that you have it in the room can also be a bit burdensome

    The location is great! Nice to be near a river. There is a great seating area outside. Very comfortable inside the room it doesn't feel crowded. Using the toilet and shower is very convenient.

    I can't say that I dislike, but I would improve things like the height of the water jar inside the room, since that is the only supply of water inside it can be a bit challenging to wash the dishes however if you place something below it makes a difference. The sauna booking method would be easier if the qr was written inside the welcoming letter or instructions instead of the door.

    It is a fantastic cozy spot to enjoy the northern lights or an escape from the city, we stayed in hut 1, it was warm inside since we entered, the small kitchen is enough and it is well equipped with oil, salt, pepper, even soy sauce! The staff was super friendly. The shower room was clean and warm as well. You also get access to the sauna that you need to book in advance while you are there.

    Beautiful surroundings, cozy hut, great concept but expensive considering the lack of service.

    For the high price there should be more service. There is no running water in the hut so we had to carry a very large glass jar (fitted with a spicket) to the bathroom to fill each day. It was an awkward procedure in the bathtub and heavy when full and awkward to carry walking down an icy incline. My sister had a bad asthmatic reaction to the lighter fluid provided as a fire starter (normally for outdoor BBQ use) and I had to request a hatchet to make kindling myself and buy some firestarters. It would be a big improvement if each wood rack were completely full upon arrival and if a full bucket of kindling and indoor Firestarter cubes were provided. When I called to request some kindling (because I couldn't use the lighter fluid) I was told to dig around in the woodpile for some bark (at -20C in the dark). At 240 euros per night one might expect an employee to check in each day to see if we needed a water jug, wood, or kindling refill. There did not appear to be an employee on site or even nearby. We had a wonderful time but that has more to do with the natural beauty of the surroundings, the cozy hut and our resourcefulness than with the service provided which is none. I got the impression that the owners are trying to run it by remote-control. It's expensive for a DIY experience. I wouldn't say not to go but be prepared to fend for yourself in the cold and dark.

    We loved the cozy hut and the location on the bank of the river. The view was lovely. The place feels remote yet is only 15 to 20 minutes from town. We were lucky to see the Northern lights from our beds. We enjoyed the sauna too. The beds were comfortable and the covers were warm. There was very basic cooking equipment but no forks. The shared bathroom/wc was warm and the water was hot. The whole thing felt rustic and adventurous while being relatively comfortable. Despite the negatives (see below) I would recommend it as a one-time experience.

    The place is very beautiful, and the hut is adorable. Elin was incredibly supportive; she explained how to watch the northern lights and how to walk on the snow. We were so lucky to have the chance to see the aurora light at this place. We could even see the aurora lights from inside the hut.

    It was a bit hard to get to due to its remoteness - we took a bus and then walked with our cases. The river was frozen, so we needed to walk to get things from the shop which was quite far. It cant be helped though - when speaking with the host, we were warned about the distance from shops etc when the river is not frozen. So nothing bad as far as we are concerned about the place :) We would probably hire a car if it wasn't frozen next time.

    Great place, lovely and clean and well kept area, good supply of firewood and really responsive hosts. Everything was clean and easy to use and we had a really good view of dark skies for northern lights as it is a remote place.

    Cosy warm hut, it was really quiet and remote, perfect place to see the northern lights. Beautiful location. The fireplace outside is a nice addition for those who enjoy cooking/grilling on fire. We were hesitant to book because of the reviews of the shower, but it would have been a big mistake not to stay here. The shower is clean and it was not so inconvenient to go outside, as it’s 5-10 meters away from the huts.

    Shower is very tiny. More equipment to eat would have been appreciated (only 2 little spoons and one standard knife, no fork)

    Location is top! There are 3 cabins, we had the one directly to the lake. Cosy atmosphere, we enjoyed a lot ! Barbecue, camp fire, sauna, northern lights on the lake and with nature around, calm, complete autonomy. Was clean. Comfortable beds with direct view to lake and sky !

    The hot water in the shared shower runs out rather quickly and takes a long time to boil.

    We absolutely love the place! We are a group of 6, so we booked all 3 tents and so we were lucky enough to have the whole campsite to ourselves. The tents are all very nice; simple but delicate at the same time. It’s small but everything we needed was available, incl. salt and olive oil for cooking! We stayed in the beginning of April, missed the northern light just by hours as the night after we checked out had one of the highest index (we also saw on the aurora live webcam site that it was super vibrant); so that was a bit unfortunate. Nevertheless the stay was amazing enough! I would totally recommend this place and if I were to visit Kiruna again in the winter I would definitely come back!

    A bit of warning about the bus - yes you can take it and they are reliable, but make sure you have your stuff in a backpack to carry over the snow! Otherwise the taxi was about £50 from Kiruna.

    Absolutely magical experience here. So romantic and cozy, exactly what we were hoping for. The huts are meticulous and everything has been thought about carefully for a great experience. We really enjoyed the DIY edge to things (shared bathroom, get your own water, make your own fire for the sauna) which added to the sense of adventure.

    Obviously a little annoying having to go outside to use the toilet and shower when it’s very cold but we knew that was the case before coming.

    The property was clean spacious and had all the bits you could need. The bed was super comfy and it was very peaceful. There was good WiFi and the kitchenette had everything you could need for a short stay. Firewood was provided for the fireplace which made it very cosy.

    The bathroom is shared for 3 huts (6 people), and it can get crowded in the mornings and evenings.

    Stunning location with the amazing view and a possibility to see northern lights. The hut is very cozy, an authentic experience of a little village life - preparing your own meals, sauna, stove etc. The host is available on the phone at almost any time..

    Too expensive . We paid 1600 euros for 2 days stay for 4 people. The train operator almost cancelled our train back because of too low temperatures (more than minus 40), recommending «stay where you are till became warmer ». It would be too expensive for us to stay 3 more days. We were very lucky that finally the train operator decided to go (the last train before one-super-cold-week). We also hadn’t electricity for about 1-1,5 hours, also because of cold. The fireplace and candles were very helpful.

    Nice location, very clean and cosy small houses. Sauna, barbecue place and wood for fireplace are included. Very kind and helpful hosts.

    The cabins are quite close to each other. The one we were in had no sense of privacy, wasn’t on the lake and there is a shared restroom with no hot water the second day at all.

    Our first 3 nights in Kiruna were at Northern Light Camp. The large windows in the facility were great! It was cozy and clean. Northern lights were great!

    prior the stay we were a bit worried, that the bathroom is separated and we will have to leave the hut in the middle of the winter. it turned out to be 0 issue as the bathroom is super Bucky heated and only few steps away.

    Nothing, everything is just perfect.

    We definitely recommend this place for the best Lapland experience. The activities were very well organized. We could see the Northern lights twice from our hut and everything was very clean. Sitting around the campfire next to our hut watching the Northern lights is an experience we will never forget. Thanks Elin and Joel!!

    Overall everything was great. Only improvement would be a slightly larger shower if possible. But what is there now is enough to get the job done!

    Super cute, quiet and peaceful cabin. We were not so lucky to see the northern lights but we did receive snow when we were there that made the surroundings look like we were in a movie! The host was very helpful & nice, informed us of a different route to take to get there (don’t trust the GPS, it takes you down what they call the “old road” and it is most certainly a struggle to go that way)! Very clean property. Perfect place to get away, we would love to go back!
