Guest Review: We loved everything about our stay at Trasti & Trine. Such an authentic and lovely experience!
Guest Review: If your purpose to come here is to watch the Northern light, then this property is good. Just you should not count on the hotel staff to call you when the Northern Light is out. They said they will, but they dont really care for Northern Light. However, since it is very easy to go out for two doors which faces different directions, so if you install the Northern Light tracker App to tell you the % of chance in real time and you also pay attention for the weather forecast hourly, you should know when to go out of hotel door and just standing outside to watch Northern Light. Note, the naked eyes will only see white color like cloud, you have to use the camera to like 10s slow exposure to see. The room is very clean/new/comfort. The restaurant food is good except the fine dining one. Dont go for the tasting menu. They are not that great. The other restaurant is much better. The breakfast is very good. Do join the Husky ride, it was so fun.
Guest Review: Absolutely loved our stay. We spent five weeks in Scandinavia and stayed in over two dozen lodgings, this was in the top five! Comfortable accommodations and wonderful food, but what really makes Bjornfjell special is the staff. Everybody was so pleasant!
