Absolutely stunning place, very secluded and peaceful with tasteful decor and a cosy but modern feel. The dining room and living room with big windows and a view over the sea and mountains are spectacular! They offer a range of great experiences and delicious food, and all the staff are helpful and friendly. The farm animals are very cute and there is even a dog, cat, and rabbit in residence! Absolutely recommend this place as an escape in an other-worldly landscape.

This is often a positive but just so people are aware, there is not really any other infrastructure nearby - if you're staying here without a car then you'll be eating all your meals here too, which isn't a bad thing (but can get pricy)! You also pay for everything: borrowing snow poles, snow boots, feeding the animals, etc. Again, that is fair enough, but it might have been a nice touch to allow guests to borrow snow shoes for free, as they aren't in high demand and seem quite low maintenance.

Beautiful location with the beautiful view.

Breakfast hours are 8-10 in the morning. By 8:40 almost no food left. And no food added. If you come to eat after 10 in the morning there is no food added and you told there is no more food left. Totally unacceptable!

Absolutely lovely place in a beautiful spot. We stayed here for three nights to relax away from the city and it was wonderful. The food is homemade and delicious (loved the homemade kombucha), the beds are comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The main building is a lovely place to relax - meal area downstairs and a lounge upstairs. Quiet, cozy, nicely decorated and with stunning views. I loved that outdoor shoes must be left at the door and that slippers are provided - really adds to the coziness and comfort. We didn't end up making use of the sauna sadly, but it is in an incredible spot overlooking the water - I regret not using it! We did book the dog sledding offered nearby, which included transport provided by the hotel - this was a fantastic experience and I can't recommend it enough. Loved meeting the resident dog and cat who would come say hello in the main building. We were able to get the bus from Tromso to the hotel (luckily as it only runs a few times per day). The hotel can organise transport for you at a competitive rate but this needs to be booked in advance.

Meals and drinks and facilities are expensive - although I understand this is pretty typical for Norway! As a hotel guest you can visit the farm animals for free, but all other activities must be paid for individually.

The farm hotel was reasonably close to, for example, the island of Sommarøy, and it takes about half an hour to get there by car. The rooms were simple and clean. The shower and bathing facilities were modern and very clean. The farm had goats, sheep, a dog, a cat, chickens, and a bunny. Guests could freely interact with and observe the animals. According to the staff, some of the animals were up in the mountains at this time of year. We left early in the morning, so we didn't have time to eat breakfast, but the staff offered to prepare sandwiches for us to take with us. Recommended!

The Jacuzzi and Sauna are great as well as the distance to Tromsø and the city lights. The main house is very comfortable and the staff is friendly and helpful. The view from the eating area is amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and could relax perfectly with a stunning view across the fjord, especially in the morning and when it was dark with magical northern lights dancing for hours! If we needed extra food at breakfast (bigger vegetarian options), the staff would prepare it for us.

You need to be aware that you cannot prepare food for yourself here. If you are there with public transportation or as such you will have to eat at the provided restaurant of the farmhouse. It is good food but there is no other option.

Everything about Yggdrasil Farmhotel Retreat was incredible. The location is about an hour from the Tromsø airport so a little far but the most beautiful location with views I will remember forever. My partner and I stayed only one night in January with hopes of seeing the northern lights… So blessed and lucky they made an appearance while we were there around midnight and lasted for hours!! Watching the lights dance in the sky felt like a dream. The owner, Maria was so sweet and lovely we had wonderful conversations about many things. The hospitality from every staff member was very warming and welcoming, the food absolutely delicious, homemade right there in the lounge/kitchen area. My first time trying traditional Norwegian food, definitely did not disappoint. There’s a yoga studio as well which was incredible for my at home workouts and stretching to maintain movement while on vacation. The weather was very cold in the negatives but we did take a nice walk outside and enjoyed the sauna & cold plunge into the Arctic sea in the afternoon. Overall we had an incredible experiences. When I make the trip again to Tromsø yes or yes I will be staying here once again.

The retreat is in a lovely quiet location with great views. The main building where they serve food etc is wonderful. There is a beautiful restaurant looking out over the sea, yoga studio and a snuggly living room on the top floor - agin with great views, a small bar and a wood burning fire. We had dinner one night and it was delicious. The bed was super comfy and the staff are all welcoming and friendly.

Only small things but would have been nice to have a bit more fruit available for breakfast. It would be great to have parking available near the accommodation (especially as there is space) as it’s quite challenging walking up the hill from the car park especially if it’s dark or there’s bad weather.

We LOVED the lodge area and how homey it was! You take your shoes off at the door and just get comfy cozy in the quaint space where you can see the water across the way. Then there’s an upstairs lounge where you can bring the most AMAZING carrot cake up there and just read or do work or whatever while you overlook the water and mountains. It’s quite majestic and charming. Then on our final night to commemorate the whole trip, the northern lights appeared for us right at the resort! Our stay here was remarkable and magical.

The huge step icy hill you had to climb up after parking at the bottom of it to get to the top where the resort is. You’d slip and slide down it. To avoid that, you have to climb through snow that goes above your knees. They should really implement an easier walkway/steps that they upkeep for guests.

Yggdrasil farmhotel was gorgeous, the rooms were clean as was the main dining area and the separate reading space. It was the perfect get away and exactly what we wanted. We went on multiple activities they had to offer such as the ice swimming and the Northern light cabin walk, both which we absolutely loved, the guides were really friendly and the activities were worth the prices. We easily got there from Tromso Airport on the 420 bus, as the stop is right outside the hotel All the staff were so friendly and happy to accommodate any request We had breakfast everyday which was toast, jams, fish, eggs and tea and coffee, lunch and dinner were also great. I told them i was vegetarian beforehand and was happy with the food I was served

We had a cosy cabin with two bedrooms, each containing a small double bed. I was sick so spent most of the visit in my room. I loved the comfortable bed with the big cushion for sitting up and being able to look out onto birch trees on one side and the farmyard on the other. I also appreciated being able to have my breakfast and dinner carried to me on a tray (by the friend I was travelling with).

I wished the dinners came with vegetables. One night I had spicy tomato-based cod fish with bread on the side and the other night the vegetarian option was pasta with oil and walnuts. Given how I was feeling, one was too spicy and other was too oily. Not the restaurant’s fault but some vegetables would have helped.
