    This location was so cozy and lovely. The staff is more than helpful and always went the extra mile. Breakfast was grand with lots of options. The dinners were beyond delicious and presented beautifully.

    Bar and restaurant services are limited, something to keep in mind when planning meals.

    Perfect location surrounded by nature and away from the city, there are snowshoes and skis that can be used for free. Some activities, such as snowmobiles, have the starting point at the same hotel, since they share an adventure agency. https://adventurelapland.se/ Highly recommend some of the activities they offer.

    We had a magical time at Máttaráhkká, the location is perfect being a short drive from Kiruna town centre (we even walked across the frozen lake into town once!) but it's far enough from light pollution to see the northern lights. Emma, Mikko and Mikko's mum are really lovely people who made us feel like home, and what a home the lodge was for the week we spent there. The rooms are warm, cosy and generally lovely, and the common area feels like your own living room in the wilderness. I thoroughly recommend the lodge to anyone who wants to go see the lights and have a great time above the Arctic Circle.

    Nothing.

    Mikko, Singhild and Fabio were welcoming and very friendly. They told us about the area and things to do. Went out of their way to help us and others.

    Everyone working there was extremely friendly and welcoming. We were only there a few minutes before being invited to have some tea/coffee in front of a big log fire. The room was nice with a nice seating area on a mezzanine. Breakfast was great and we were able to try cross country skiing for free (we could also have taken some snow shoes out if we had been there for more than one night). To top it all off, after a nice dinner in Camp Ripan, we came back and decided to go for a quick walk in the surrounding area and happened to see the aurora almost immediately! Great place

    We really enjoyed staying at the Mattarrahka Lodge. We got in late morning before the check-in time but our host managed to prepare our room so we didn't have to wait too long. The place is very cosy, confortable, nicely decorated and it makes us feel at home. Barbara cooked delicious meals and breakfast is also very good with a large choice of options. Mikka and his family are extremely nice and helpful. Thanks to Mikka, we booked dogsledding through Lapland Adventure and had the best time we could have hoped for. We highly recommend this place. My husband and I really a relaxing, peaceful and pleasant time and we would love to go back another time, possibly in summer! Thanks a lot Mikka!

    There was nothing that we didnt like.

    The lodge has a beautiful vibe to it. Its secluded from the city so you can easily see the northern nights when the sky is clear, and thats such a plus. they have 24*7 coffee tea facilities which is so cool! Even the room is so beautiful.

    A very homely feel, comfy beds and rooms, we had a wonderful dinner and received amazing service from staff, in particular Barbara who made our stay so much more enjoyable. Lovely buffet breakfast included in our package and location isn’t too far via car ride from town centre. We booked some spa time on the roof top and saw the northern lights! Really enjoyed our stay

    The only drawback to being able to see northern lights from your lodge is that you need to take a taxi to town.

    Great accommodations and helpful staff!
