Fabulously helpful staff. Devid went out of his way at meeting customer needs. Cottage was spacious enough for two people. Easy access to the woods and the waterfall. Self service sauna and bbq facilities brilliant.

Bathroom/shower too small and very basic. Room lacked a dressing mirror. Kitchen was poorly equipped for self catering. Evening ‘buffet’ at the Lodge consisted of 3 different stews and some bread. Very basic and bland. Also overly priced at almost 30€ per person.

Great location, with nature and walks available from the lodge. The scenery on the drive to the lodge is fantastic. Great area for northern lights viewing if you have clear skies. Staff were friendly and the room was comfortable. Good breakfast in a nice environment. I got to see great northern lights, stunning snowy landscapes and even some Moose😀😀

It is expensive to both stay there and to get a transfer from Alta if needed. However it is worth the experience and it is also cheaper than some other options within the general area.

Very friendly staff and good breakfast! Nice small cabin(s) located in the middle of nature, very close to the Alta Canyon route starting point. Cabin equipped with needed appliences such as fridge, kettle etc. Cabin was very clean and the yard was very well kept as well. Accommodation for people who love nature and cozy feeling.

Toilet in the cabin was quite small. The road which leads to the fells goes across the yard and there is some traffic during the high season.

We stayed in the dome at gargia Lodge as part of our honeymoon. We only stayed one night due to time constraints but we absolutely loved it. The staff could not have done more for us and made an extra effort to add some lovely touches to our room to celebrate our honeymoon. They also collected us at last minute from elsewhere in alta as we could not get transport to them. The area is beautiful and the dome was a wonderful experience with northern lights right outside. We would definitely stay again and thank you so much !

The location, surrounded by nature (but easy-to-drive road from Alta) was very scenic. The wi-fi worked well, The room had character. THere is convenient food available for many hours starting in the late afternoon. This was a buffet of three casseroles (we liked all three, so that was good), with good bread. Beer etc. available. Silent at night.

The walks nearby were good, but the flies and mosquitoes were troublesome.

Fantastic place! Since we were there outside the main season and there were few visitors due to Covid, without having asked for it we got un upgrade to a very nice room inside the big house, with an additional bedroom on top. Since we were in Alta to do the hike to Sautso Canyon, the location couldn't have been better! It is only a 4 km drive to the starting point. The area is very quiet and in the room everything you might need is available: the seating area is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped with a large dining table, and the shower is perfect. Perfect value for money!

Nothing, we really enjoyed our stay

Best breakfast we've had on this trip. Wonderful staff. Close to the canyon. Great rooms.

No binding curtain over door, had to block it with an unused bedsheet. Please put the curtain back, as the hooks were on the ceiling ;)

Great location in nature. The scenery was captivating. The cottage is very cosy. The staff is very helpful. Overall, it was a great place!

The breakfast could be better since the options were very limited.

We arrived Late at night but found the keys and instructions to enter our apartment. This lodge is located in the middle of nowhere, bull moose that cried loud in the night and husky dogs all around, it was really what we looked for.. unfortunately We spent just one night and couldn't Walk around for a hike in this beautiful place..
