The location, the hotel, and most especially the staff are awesome. I had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant ( Oct. 19th) and there 2 ladies and a gentleman who seems genuinely happy with what they do and they made me feel at home. The same goes for the front desk the next day when I checked out. It is rare for me to leave reviews but I am glad I made the decision to drive and stay with Malangen Resort. Plus, Auora Borealis gave me 2 separate shows on top of that.

Beautiful resort in a beautiful area. Stay but bring your own food. Restaurant is beautiful but lacking in even basic pub food. You are there for the views. Most of the amenities were out of order and seemed a little worn down.

Beautiful views. Restaurant food was only ok and there are no other restaurants within 1.5 hrs. Front office staff is mediocre and inconsistent depending on who was there. There are no phones in the cabins so there is no way to communicate with the front desk except by email or walk the 100-150 yards in the snow to get to the front desk. No internet except in the lobby areas. Transportation option to/from Tromso is also very limited and expensive. Taxi each way is $180-220 US.

I participated in three different activities- snow showing, Sami culture and dog sledding - and each was very well organized, stimulating and fun. The area around the resort is excellent for walking. The staff are exceptionally helpful and welcoming Overall, an excellent place to visit.

I stayed at The Malangen Resort for 10 days, and I really enjoyed my time staying at the resort. The staff is amazing, friendly, and always willing to help out with suggestions should I need any. The room I stayed in did not have a clock nor a television set which was a welcome surprise for me as I found other things to do such as visit Camp Nikka to photograph the Northern Lights, or drive to the other side of the fjord to go hiking. The restaurant serves above average food and amazing locally-brewed beer. Thank you for having the Mark Pilsner on tap! The bed took a little getting used to, and the bathroom was fantastic. If there was one aspect I would like to see addressed is the checking out process. I wanted to leave before 7 in the morning, but I was unsure of the checkout process. So I waited until 7 am for someone to check me out. There has to be a better way in my opinion.

I would not return to this apartment, again.
The resort is very outdated. The equipment in the apartment is very old. In such a cold weather, guests will still need to wait for the water heater to be heated up as advised by the personnel between 30 - 60 minutes after each shower. The apartment can hold 3-4 guests, can you imagine how much time is needed to shower? The internet speed in this location is horrendously slow but it is good as people should be focusing on the awesome view. The heating solution within the room is also old and may not be in working condition. I personally feel that this resort is over-rated. I would love to see more resort in the area that is much more dated and welcoming to overseas guests.

Lovely and remote.
Lovely remote location. Friendly staff. Dinner very tasty and reasonable value. Excursions are a bit pricey. Good location for Aurora especially if they are from the south which they were for us. Fantastic show (March 23rd 2023) Be aware that the hotel organised bus to airport is at fixed times and meant we had 4 hours at the airport which is currently being extended and the international flights are form a big temporary structure. A thoroughly unpleasant experience which the Hotel staff should have warned us about.

Liked the location. Away from the bright lightes and big city of Tromso. This is also a potential downside because it's quite a drive along snow-filled roads from the airport.

For the hotel staff with incredibly accommodating in the activities were really funny unique, you’re far too expensive for the accident. But probably recommend many to stay in town explorer from there.

Stayed in one of the premium cabins which was great, had everything you could need and the views across the fjord were to die for. Was our second visit to Malangen, having stayed in a regular cabin before - which are equally as nice. The restaurant is very good and not crazy expensive given the location and what they could charge. Good food choices and quality was excellent though did feel guilty eating reindeer steak just before Christmas. If you want somewhere to go to escape everything, enjoy fabulous views, relax and just maybe get to see the northern lights then this is the place for you.
