Tried to call but number was not in service

We had an amazing stay with the astonishing view and nature. Lovely goats were adorable and the room was really cozy.

Definitely recommend!

Amazing location surrounded by mountains and seas. Staff are friendly and responsive. Clean rooms and facilities. Only downside is hard to get to without rental car, so must factor into cost. Otherwise, great experience not to be missed when in and around Tromsø

It was perfect for our stay, we enjoyed the stay. Thank you for the nice hospitality. Will definitely recommend

I asked for help bringing my luggage down thr hill the woman at the front desk kept saying usually her guests are healthy and don't need help she was rude and put her hands on me when i took a picture of her because of how she was speaking to me she pushed me out of the hotel and threw my things out her co worker ripped the phone out of my hands and stepped on it and threw it in the snow. Ive traveled everywhere never have i experienced something like this before in my life

The hotel was absolutely great. The staff was wonderful and took great care of us! The food was delicious and the location was beautiful. A tranquil area to enjoy the lovely scenery and get away from the noise and action of the city!

short version: cozy, clean, & relaxing. Comfy beds. Good food. Great for getaways. But if you’re doing multiple excursions, the drive can be draining & eat into your vacation. Staff was friendly. Owners not so much. 
Detailed version: Absolutely charming! Very clean & comfy. My mom & I stayed in cabin #4 & it’s right next to the dining hall. The cabin has 2 rooms, an entryway, & a bathroom. One room had a built-in bed, nightstand, windows, & chair. The other room had a built-in bed, nightstand, windows, & another separate bed with different covers & possibly a different mattress. The built-in beds we so soft & cozy! Both rooms had small, plug-in radiator heaters & they’re super efficient! There are no dressers or cabinets for clothes so we left  ours in our suitcases & put them open under our beds. There’s lots of open space under the beds (may be a nice idea to convert part of that into cubbies or drawers?). You will need outlet converters if you’re not from Europe. 

The bathroom has a small sink, toilet, shower, one shelf & hair dryer. Toilet paper is provided. And liquid hand soap that smells fantastic. One bath towel & one hand towel provided per guest (more available upon request). **no wash cloths** so bring your own. The entry way to the cabin has heated tile flooring which was a nice touch. No outside shoes are to be worn in the bedrooms or bathroom, so shoes are to be removed in the entryway. It would be very helpful to have a chair or bench here for shoe removal/application. There are coat hanging hooks along 2 of the walls in the entryway which was great. The bedroom doors & bathroom door all have hanging hooks on them. Thank you!!! Such a big help. It would be very helpful to have a few more shelves for toiletries and small belongings. There’s plenty of wall space in the rooms & bathroom for free-floating shelves. 

The dining room consists of 6-8 tables. Some are 2-seaters. Some are 6-seaters and can be rearranged as needed. Soft, relaxing music plays in the background while you’re served delicious foods made straight from their kitchen, with some of it sourced from their farm. The ambience is really peaceful. You must try the carrot cake & the almond cake. Both were fantastic!!! They have several blends of teas. Coffee & cappuccinos are available. There are some lamb skins from their own farm available for purchase along with handmade soaps, knitwear, & other items. There’s a living room with couches upstairs in that building. Outside shoes are not allowed past the entryway so it helps to brings slippers or thick socks. 

The parking lot designated for guests is down a significantly steep hill. Maybe a hundred yards or so in distance. Parking at your cabin is allowed only during brief moments like loading/unloading your vehicle. If the owner sees your vehicle parked outside the cabin for longer than 15 minutes, you will receive a knock on the door with a somewhat urgent request to move your vehicle. This becomes especially tricky if you’ve gone into town for an excursion & arrive back at the hotel just in time for dinner. With dinner being scheduled during a window of 1900-2030, time can be crunched to get back in time for dinner. This happened to us twice. We temporarily parked outside our cabin so we could walk to the dining hall in time for dinner & planned to move the car after dinner. Both times, the owner approached us with requests to move our vehicle. He does a great job of keeping the driveway & pathways plowed; a big task, no doubt. But the urgency in his requests for us to move our vehicle immediately at 8:15pm seemed unwarranted while we were trying to enjoy finishing dinner. Especially considering that the plowing doesn’t take place until early morning hours. 

I do NOT recommend walking this hill without shoe spikes when there’s snow on the ground. And I definitely don’t recommend walking this hill at all for anyone with mobility limitations. As we were leaving, we saw two guests carrying their full-size suitcases down this icy hill, most likely because of the strong request not to have your vehicle parked near your cabin, or the hotel. I see this as a significant safety risk and large liability on part of the owners

The staff, especially Ursula, are very friendly. When we arrived it was dinner time. We quickly unloaded our vehicle & I went to dinner (my mom was too sick from food poisoning so she went to bed). The check-in process consisted of me giving the waiter my name & him handing me the key to our cabin after verifying our reservation. The dinner was a delicious soup with bread & butter & again the ambience was perfection. Even though I was eating by myself, I felt no need to be on my phone or do anything but simply relax. This place draws u in like that. <3 It would be helpful to get a rundown of the place & logistics upon check-in. Things like: here’s how/where to interact with the animals, here’s a map of the property (i.e. the northern lights cabin/hut), etc. It’s quite possible this information is given during a normal check-in when they’re not in the middle of serving dinner. Some of the info is online which is helpful. 

Summary: if you’re wanting a quiet get-away, this place is the spot. It’s lovely! And so peaceful. However, if you’re wanting to do excursions (2 or more) that are not associated with the hotel, I highly recommend staying in the city. All excursion meeting points we went on (dog sledding, northern lights tour, reindeer sledding)were in the city which is a solid hour drive from the hotel. That added 2 hours of travel to our day everyday. It was exhausting. It is also important to note that this hotel has excursions available. I’m not familiar with the location of the meeting point but if it’s close, that could be an easy solution. And worth a little extra $.

Great for a getaway. Not ideal location for excursions.

Yggdrasil Farmhotel is about 50min drive from the Tromso airport, it overlooks a fjord and is not hard to find.I rented the tiny house for myself, I had some activities planned but was looking for a quiet time out I could do some thinking and planning for 2024. The place is warm and cosy, the breakfast is excellent. The tiny house lacked some utensils for cooking and I was not able to have Wifi within which made me sit in the public areas to complete some work. I loved the woodfired Sauna. The weather was a challenge while I was there so I spend more time inside then I anticipated.It was a pleasant stay if you want to be away from the busy little city of Tromso.

Norwegian Country

Amazing place to stay if you want and need something quiet. I was with my daughter and we enjoyed our stay at Yggdrasil Farmhotel! Friendly, nice and amazing owners and staff! Nice, clean and warm cabin! Delicious food! Beautiful views! Moreover, we had nice little hiking trip to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) with a guide on the hotel premises (to the mountains). That was something unbelievably beautiful and unreal!

We had the pleasure of booking an ice bathing experience here and were floored by how amazing it was! Our guide was knowledgeable, experienced, and easy to talk to, leaving us with an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend the hotel and the experience! Just make sure if you're coming from Tromsø you coordinate with the hotel for transportation back to the city in advance or rent a car. We plan on coming back as soon as we are able!
