Beautiful property run by lovely people in a stunning spot.
We had a standard room, which was a little basic but lovely and clean. It would have been improved by having a kettle and tea and coffee, and a second chair.
The lounge was a lovely space to relax, with an amazing view to curl up and read a book. Unfortunately, because it closed at 9pm you were then only in your room. The beauty of this place is the quiet and if you want to just relax, then this is perfect for you.

Beautiful location and lovely staff but for me not the quiet stay we expected.
double rooms are not soundproof at all (as stated on the post). (Noise from everyone walking past the window, going in and out all night to look for the lights , opening closing the entry doors, the kitchen, even your neighbours ‘activities.’)
Heating controlled by manager so staff need to call and ask to get it adjusted.
Bring slippers as no shoes in breakfast area and the ones they provide are communal/used.)
Ocean sauna is lovely but reduced charge for guests would be good.
Husky’s they suggest are great but transfers are 1000nok return for the short drive.
Buses are handy if they are running.

Our stay at Yggdrasil was amazing! It's truly a unique place. The dinners are out of this world, chef quality local cuisine served in a spectacular setting. If you are looking for a relaxing get away you will have a hard time topping this place! My only watchout for first timers to Tromso is that it is a pretty good distance from the city centre and airport. 45 minute drive. The owners did a great job with our transportation needs, but you do need to plan ahead and schedule with them. We didn't use a taxi, but I would assume that if you can find one willing to come pick you up it will be a very expensive ride. That said, this is as charming of a place as you will find anywhere in the world and the scenery is breathtaking. The owners are meticulous when it comes to taking care of things. We will definitely be back!!!!

The staff were absolutely lovely and very friendly, which made our stay more enjoyable. The views were beautiful, and we really loved the yoga sessions, which were a highlight. The breakfast was delicious too.

However, the room did not match the advertisement. The images used in the listing were misleading, showing a completely different cabin and portraying a more remote and isolated setting. In reality, the cabin overlooked others and lacked privacy due to thin/lack of curtains.

The \"queen-size bed\" was actually two single mattresses on the floor. There was no WiFi, insufficient hot water for two showers, and the heating couldn't surpass 20°C, which was uncomfortable on cold nights. The kitchenette had no frying pans despite having a stove. Additionally, daily housekeeping, a pillow menu, and a pillow-top bed as advertised were not provided.

While we did really enjoy our overall stay, the discrepancies between the advertised amenities and the actual room were disappointing.

We also really appreciated the transfer which was offered at a cheaper price than Uber/taxis. Only tiny negative was that we were quite cold during the night and couldn’t find a way to make the room a little warmer but it wouldn’t put us off coming back. We loved it here :)

Breakfast buffet spread was exquisitely presented/plated. Outdoor footwear must be removed in indoor areas. Car parking location was about a 100m walk but we were allowed to drive up to our block to offload/load our luggage. The outdoors is in total darkness and it was out there that we took photos of the Northern Lights. The only blip we experienced was our room heating being not adequately warm enough during our three nights stay there. The heating is manually adjusted by the boss on her iPad.

This is a simply amazing place. So traquil and calm, so quiet you can actually hear silence!
The owners and staff are so friendly and go out of thier way to help you.
the food on site is amazing, home cooked local delicacies. We ate moose, reindeer, salmon whale, lamb ( there are other options too) all booked and cooked directly for you. They were delishoius and served in a restaurant ( and upstairs bar) that have floo to celing windows looking across the fyord. Who needs pictures and TV wehn you have such a vista that changes every 30 seconds
We took part in the night mountain treck in show shoes, ice swimming and jaquizi. We saw the northern lights on more than one occassion
Despite fantastic transfer options offred by the hotel ( they are much cheaper than other operators) when we go back again we will hire a car to explore a little wider but this was only a minor point on such a fantastic trip
I want to thank Maria and her team for making Paulines 60th Birthday trip so special. Thank you Best Wishes Garrie and Pauline

The experiences do need to be booked separately was unexpected but was still easy to do and was a lot fun to do. Worthwhile renting a car for your visit as it’s an hour drive from the airport but the journey to and from Tromsø is very easy and it is amazing to be outside of the city and have clear skies for the northern lights

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.

This is a special place on earth, and Maria is a wonderful hostess and owner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. She prepares farm-to-table fare that is delicious. However, we were visiting in March, and at that time of the year the options for a vegetarian is rather limited. Other than that, which is certainly understandable, this was a great place to relax, unwind, snowshoe, and ski (rentals in Tromso).

Great place if weather would have co operated

Not a place we would normally stay but for northern lights seemed to be the best choice. It snowed everyday while there so no Northern Lights. We drove on snowy roads to fill time so in retrospect would have stayed in town but not due to unhappiness with the retreat. Food was very good and breakfast was artwork. Resort arranged a dog sled ride and took us there, Everything is ala carte so be prepared to pay for anything you desire outside of the great breakfast. Evening meals were outstanding. I would go back for opportunity to see Northern lights.

Very nice stay. We were in the Viking suite which is by the stable so the animals are outside the window. On one night the sheeps started making a lot of noise at 4am which kept us awake and was very frustrating, but the other nights were fine. All other amenities such as sauna jacuzzi etc are charged extra so we didn’t use them. The place is beautiful and we saw the northern lights just outside our room!! Breakfast is lovely as well.

Absolutely loved this place. Amazing room, with direct access to all the animals. Great location for relaxing, chilling with the animals, moose spotting and of cause northern lights spotting. I was very fortunate to see them whilst being in the hot tub.
Breakfast every morning was lovely. Chia pudding, oat pudding, their own hen eggs, soft bread, cheese and butter. They have an espresso machine which provided great coffees.

The owners were very friendly and took interest in our stay and our lives. They also gave great tips on what to do and what the weather was up to. They also have the cutest little dog ever!

Maria and her little shadow Ebla were warm and inviting and Silvia made the most incredible food we have ever tasted. The environment that the entire fantastic staff creates promotes total and complete relaxation. If you are light hunting, this is the perfect place to do it, as even if you aren’t lucky enough to experience them, your trip will not be a disappointment. This is a magical place, and staying in cottage #1 absolutely filled my heart with joy to be able to open the window and be greeted by all of the beautiful animals that reside right outside of your door.

Hygge and comfortable stay

A lovely stay for us, unfortunately missed out on spectacular Northern lights show by one day :(
Very cool, comfortable and hygge experience. Only slight gripe is there are a few hidden costs that could be included or packaged up- eg pay 250NOK each time for sauna, 150NOK for snow shoes hire etc.
Considering this is Norway though, we can say that overall this was a very pleasant experience! Would recommend.

Great: the dinner we had of curry baked cod was magnificent! We also really enjoyed the common area with very comfortable sofa for relaxing. And the snowshoeing was fantastic! Great opportunity to get some exercise and see the countryside. Overall the location overlooking the water and mountains was lovely!
Good: breakfast was nice but would have loved some scrambled or fried eggs instead of hard boiled.
Ok: the beds were very basic and you could hear the springs underneath when you moved. It did not make for a very good nights sleep.
Disappointing: the cost of the sauna and jacuzzi was exorbitant. 250 NOK for jacuzzi per person per session was shocking to me. The only saving grace for us was that no one else wanted jacuzzi that day so we had it to ourselves. The owners were nice to open it at 1 pm upon our request, instead of the usual 9 pm. There was no auroral activity during our stay so we preferred afternoon jacuzzi before dinner instead of late after dinner.

One magical night in Tromso

We flew into Tromso for just one night, to offer a chance to see the Northern Lights. Boy, what a magical stay it was! We enjoyed the rental of the private sauna, even a roll in the snow to cool off and head back in. We stayed in cabin 1 which was placed just so, the bedroom windows faced the ridge where the Northern Lights were. I don't know if they're always in the place or if we just got lucky but they were AMAZING this night. My daughter and I were squealing! Just beautiful to behold as they danced across the sky!

Stunning views

This place is amazing, as long as you are not (like me) a creature that thrives on all the corporate trappings of large chain hotels. If you want to get away from it all and experience the real beauty and tranquillity of northern Norway, then this is where you come.
The views are breathtaking, it’s peaceful and well off the beaten track. Your hosts will make you feel welcome and serve you with authentic Norwegian home cooked food. Alternatively there are some self catering lodges you can stay in, but don’t expect too much from these, they’re quite basic.
This is a perfect base if you like hiking and touring the surrounding mountains and Fjords, It won’t get dark in the summer and it’s a perfect place to see the northern lights in the winter.
There’s no TV so bring a book, but they do have Wi-Fi so you won’t be completely cut off if don’t want to be. Personally, for me, it was a little too quiet, but then I’m a city slicker. I think either way you should come here and experience it, it’s an amazing place.
