“Fantastic holiday. Very well organised with welcoming hosts and activities. Due to weather was unable to go to Sky Station but was prepared that there would be no refund in event of weather conditions , so it surprised as others were. We were lucky enough to see Aurora. First class trip. Only scary bit was getting from one terminal to another fir connecting flight especially as first flight delayed. Thankfully found out there was a bus to take us to connecting Terminal. Thanks for everything .”

“A really good trip. Activities well organised and just right. Hotel basic but friendly helpful staff. The rooms and public areas could have been warmer. Everything went to plan and of the nights we were there, we certainly chose the best night for the photographic evening.”

“Brilliant holiday, loved every minute, comfortable Lodge and friendly staff. Food was delicious, eating dinner in the restaurant is 'fine dining' and the breakfast buffet was really good too. Activities were exciting and ticked another box for both of us, staff who led the activities were very friendly and helpful regarding answering any questions and offering to take photos of us during our activity. As a grand finale the Aurora showed itself on our last night, treating us to a spectacular Corona Aurora, this really made out holiday!! Going up to the Sky Station that evening was even better as we had a display of lights whilst on the chair lift, spectacular! We were very glad of the arctic clothing that we borrowed as it made a big difference and we were not cold at all despite the minus temperates. Flights were good and on time, nothing to complain about except it was over all too quickly!!”

“A first class trip with faultless and highly efficient organisation both from Weekend a la Carte and from all of the local Swedish staff at the Abisko Mountain Lodge who are all very good at their jobs. The rooms are basic but it is a Mountain Lodge 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle! The food there was fabulous and the arctic clothing was absolutely superb. All the activities were run by enthusiasts who are engaging, cheerful and very professional. We were lucky enough to see the aurora on 3 of the 4 nights which was as movingly spectacular as you could wish for and the Abisko area itself has to be seen to be believed. We have been back for a week and are still slightly stunned by the whole experience.”

“Wow! An amazing holiday, in an amazing country with amazingly people! Kevin and his team set up the perfect break. As explained, a couple of the experiences changed days but that was to enhance the holiday (our photography evening moved to the night when the northern lights were at their best in conjunction with clear skies). The Mattarakka lodge was a special place indeed and all the staff made us feel very welcome. We will be highly recommending Weekend A La Carte packages to our friends and family.”

“The information provided for the trip was well put together and gave us the details we needed both to plan for our holiday for the weather conditions and for our time away. The travel arrangements went smoothly and the accommodation was good with excellent food. The trips were well organized with qualified local guides. A very memorable holiday.”

“Excellent holiday, well organised. Activities great. Mattarahkka Lodge lovely - felt like home with wonderful staff and food. Arctic wilderness cabins very good, Johan's cooking superb! Abisco Mountain Lodge good, excellent restaurant, however for the price of the tour we feel we should have been in a superior room and not the cheapest room, it was so small and more like a youth hostel - not very nice. That's the only negative. Other Weekend A La Carte guests felt the same.”

Dear Terence Thank you for your review and i am delighted that you enjoyed the break we put together for you and despite your comments on the room in Abisko gave us a 5 star rating. We try and make it clear when we send proposals that we give a balanced view on Abisko Mountain Lodge. In short the standard rooms are 3 star level, the deluxe rooms are 4 star but the food and hospitality are 5 star! We do give clients the ability to upgrade if they wish but appreciate this adds more cost. The Arctic is not the cheapest holiday destination but it offers amazing experiences. I hope you got to see the northern lights - they have been consistently strong over the last 10 days or so. Thank you for traveling with us. Warm Regards Kevin Collins Managing Director

“The trip we took to the Tree Hotel and Ice Hotel in Sweden was superbly organised and we had a fantastic time. Sadly the Northern Lights were not putting on their best display, but that did not spoil what was a fabulous holiday.”

“WOW I booked this as a surprise for my husbands birthday and I couldn't be more pleased with the whole package, everything from the very first point of contact to the actual holiday was perfectly organised and went according to plan. Every place we stayed at was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed every experience I had booked, The ski mobiles, Reindeer visit at the Sami village and the Husky tour were amazing in Kiruna as was the photography night in Abisko the whole experience was magical even in -32 degrees I couldn't recommend Weekend A La Carte enough they really are experts at creating the best experience especially for The Northern Lights.”

“We returned on Friday from what I can honestly say was the most fantastic trip. Everything ran like clockwork, the activities and guides throughout were excellent, the food was great and the northern lights put on a fabulous display on our final night. We didn’t get to go up to the sky station, or do the train journey, it was just too cold and was not safe to run these, but this didn’t affect our trip as other activities were provided, In actual fact we went into the Abisko National Park for the day which was simply stunning. I’d like to thank all at Weekend a la carte for putting this together for us, and to name a couple of people from the trip Anneka, who spent the day with us with the husky’s, and Chad our photo evening guide from (lights over Lapland), were both great. Highly recommended.”

“Fantastic trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights. Had three different tours arranged and all three were absolutely spectacular. My family and I enjoyed every aspect of the holiday and my mum got the see the lights on top of one of the glaciers! Arrangements were flawless and we did not experience a single problem. I can highly recommend this company.”

“What a brilliant trip, all the activities were well organised with enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides. We firstly stayed at the Tree Hotel, the UFO and then the Birds Nest for a bit of fun. Then we traveled north to Abisko, the Mountain Lodge. Both hotels were friendly, wecolming and served really good food. The icing on the cake was being lucky enough to see an active aurora on our photography trip. Weekend a la carte provided a responsive and personal service, would definitely recommend them.”
