Aurora cabins were super cute and had our own sauna. The food with half board was delicious and the lodge had great access to cross country ski trails. The only thing I wish they had was robes for the room (as often had to run out of the bathroom and everyone can see into your glass room) and a head board so the pillows didn’t keep falling off the bed! Haha

The location is unbelievable. A real wonderland. I stayed over New Years and there was snow everywhere. Maybe the most beautiful place I’ve been. I took lovely walks every morning. Great food. Nice rooms with good beds and bathrooms. Most of the time the staff at the front desk act like they don’t really care that much. Not all of them but some. The place is expensive and they don’t really try to help keep it affordable. Expect to be over charged for everything. Still, I loved it ! I hope I can go back someday. Really magical.

Great hotel in a slightly remote location—if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s perfect. We absolutely loved our stay, and it was very convenient for all the activities we wanted to do. The guides were excellent, and it’s a fantastic spot for seeing the Northern Lights. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious and well presented.

The only small criticism is that the room lacked a few thoughtful details, such as cotton pads, body lotion, and hair conditioner. Small pampering touches like you often find in nice hotels would make the experience even better. :)

The property was nice and the staff was helpful however the language was a barrier can sometimes be a slight barrier but nevertheless the staff was very kind. The location is beautiful and very serene. The food is a real high point-we had a half board and both the breakfast and dinner were wonderful!! Really loved the food

The only downside was that We were also told all the amenities were in our room for example cutlery and basics like shower gel however that was not the case for our room. Even the activities that we booked, we had to remind the team. Transportation to this hotel is a bit tricky in the winter, especially if you’re travelling by bus. We also had booked a private transfer to the airport however to our surprise when we got to the cab it was a minivan shared between 8-10 other people.

Rest it was a great trip!

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting!

Really lovely place to stay, out in the wilds. There are lots of activities arranged by the hotel (at a price!) so you really don't have to go anywhere else. The hotel is beautifully decorated inside with a permanent Christmas theme (maybe not in the summer months?) The kitchen and dining room staff were excellent - so friendly, efficient, cheerful and helpful. My one criticism is that the reception staff did not help us take our luggage to our cabin and gave us poor directions as to how to find it in the snow and the cold and with the sun almost down. We had to drag heavy sledges full of suitcases ourselves and weren't sure exactly where to go. Paying so much per night for our stay, I would have expected our bags to have been taken for us. Also, our cabins were almost the furthest away possible from the main hotel building and, as a slightly older guest with some health issues (I can't walk very quickly and have some breathing issues), I would have preferred to be a bit nearer. I shall know to ask for a cabin nearer to reception next time, though the hotel says they can't guarantee a particular cabin when requests are sent beforehand. On that, the pre-stay help was also very good. The activities coordinators answered my many questions very patiently. My final comment is the activities are expensive compared to other providers in the area, but the guys who lead them are exceptional, particularly Pablo and Sara on the snowmobile reindeer farm trip.

Probably the best hotel / resort I've ever stayed in. We splurged for the Igloo and saw the Northern lights through the glass ceiling on our second night. Food was outstanding, especially considering it was a buffet, but you'd never know it. Staff were all incredible, super friendly, helpful and just some of the kindest people I've met.

Beautiful place to see the auroras. Igloos were clean but could use some design changes when accomodating 2 singles. Two luggage stands would be nice, instead of 1 and hooks to hang coats would have been great. We used our tripods. We noticed some igloos had hooks inside the door but ours didn't. It took us a couple days to figure out how to organize comfortably (two single females traveling together). Staff was very friendly, except for my last day with housekeeping. They made up my room for the next guest while I was at breakfast and when I came back they were still there. She was confrontational about me reporting a missing item and wouldn't leave the room as it was already cleaned but I had paid for the room until 11am. I told her to leave and she was not happy. My missing item had been returned and I was not unhappy with the service but I was unhappy with the confrontation on the day I was leaving.
Overall the food was wonderful, the lodge staff were helpful and friendly, the guides were amazing, and the activities were unforgetable.

We had an amazing stay. The hotel provides cold weather clothing free of charge to use during your stay which is very helpful (boots, gloves, snowsuit, helmet, etc.) There is free WIFI, but only available in the lodge. Our only feedback was that it was very difficult to manage the temp in our cabin and we got very hot. There are no additional bedding items in the room, only a heavy comforter and a small blanket. Overall we had an amazing stay and got to see the Northern Lights twice despite some cloudy days. Thanks to the lovely staff who were so friendly and went out of their way to accommodate any request!

Stayed in the aurora bubble. It’s a tiny space but laying on the bed and looking up at the open sky is quite an experience. Bed is comfortable, room is clean, no wifi and no TV. There’s a small sauna inside the bathroom, always nice to have. Standing shower is powerful; However hot water is limited so for those who take a shower longer than 10 minutes be prepared for an icy bath. Would recommend it just for the experience.

We had a sauna cabin. It was beautiful, nice bathroom and sauna, beautiful private view, nice wood stove, very comfortable bed. Just loved it. The aurora alarms are worth it. We had a brief and short view from our window on our first night, and then the next night was an incredible light show right outside our cabin. The complimentary overalls and snow boots were awesome for getting properly protected from the elements quickly to get out to see the light show. The lodge was beautiful and the staff very helpful and friendly, with a great orientation. Heikke (sp?) was a great snowmobiling guide through the fells.

Beautiful Area - Disorganised Amateur staff

Lapland is beautiful & the hotel is in a perfect position to let you enjoy nature. But unfortunately The staff's disorganisation & rude behaviour really ruined this trip for us. It's a shame because the aurora and log cabin were nice(although the \"panoramic views\" are really just of the other cabins so you don't get much privacy). Food & airport transfer are way overpriced. Not a \"hotel\" in a traditional sense; no phones, TVs, room service or WIFI, if you need anything you have to walk back to the main building. Our arrival at the hotel was very unwelcoming, we were grouped with all the other guests & talked at for an hour when all we wanted to do was head to our rooms after a full day of travel. We were then told our tours hadn't been booked, even though they had taken payment & confirmed via email. To which we were told \"we get so many emails\". (!)
Although not overly friendly (perhaps a cultural difference) & seemingly inexperienced, the staff were for the most part courteous. However after the hotel made an error with our tours (again)one woman at reception spoke to us so rudely I left in tears. We travel frequently & were shocked staff would speak to guests like this(& for a mistake they made).
A week after we returned we also got an unpleasant surprise that the hotel had charged our credit card again for a bill we'd already paid on check-out. After a few emails we were given a refund but obviously had to swallow the international transaction fees ourselves.

They are tentative to all your requests and genuinely want to make sure you are having a lovely time. We booked an excursion through the hotel and absolutely loved it. Also, the cabin we stayed in was spectacular. The bed was comfortable, lovely spa, amazing fireplace and spacious. The breakfast was very tasty and we had a lovely time at the bar. I wish I could give this hotel a 10 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend staying here.

Nous avons eu la chance d'observer des aurores boréales directement depuis notre cabine, un souvenir magique ! Le sauna privé fonctionnait parfaitement, un vrai moment de détente après les journées bien remplies.

La nourriture était excellente, avec une grande variété de plats, toujours frais et savoureux. Le personnel était d’une grande gentillesse, toujours souriant et disponible pour répondre à nos demandes.

Demasiado caro para lo que ofrece

En mí opinión no vale la pena el precio tan elevado por lo que ofrece.Nuestra habitación era una cabaña panorama,la cual tenía unos grandes ventanales justo enfrente de la cama,pero sin ninguna intimidad. Muy básica la cocina si se va con intención de cocinar algo para economizar,(cenar en el restaurante del hotel son 52 euros por persona) ni paño,ni bayeta,ni nada para secar o escurrir la losa que fregas,ni un cucharón con el que servirte algo de sopa.Había chimenea y leña,pero solo pudimos encenderla una de las noches porque solo nos dejaron encendedor para 1 vez.En el baño solo jabón de manos,nada de gel ni champú.Como positivo la cabaña era acogedora,la cama sobre troncos cómoda y original y el desayuno bastante bueno y variado.Otro detalle es que la recepción cierra por la noche aunque te dan un número de emergencia por si tienes que llamar por alguna razón.Tienes que pagar también 10 euros si quieres que te avisen si se ven auroras

Die Unterkunft und das Essen lassen nichts zu wünschen über, dennoch wäre es super vorab zu wissen, dass es in der näheren Umgebung weder ein Supermarkt noch andere Restaurants fußläufig zu erreichen sind.
