I want to stress how accommodating and attentive the staff was. Reception truly was very welcoming and I do not want my review to reflect on them at all. Could not have been happier with them. That being said the property condition was just not it. There was mud EVERYWHERE; black snow, bit construction signs and and large construction trucks - it just totally totally ruined the feel of the place. The cabin itself was pretty low end in my opinion. Coming from The Northern Lights Village - this was definitely a downgrade and did not feel luxurious or relaxing at all :/ the hottub was nice but the view was black snow, mud and an ugly wooden panel; again just ruining the entire moment. The cabins also had these drapes that were very annoying to deal with and quite literally block the Aurora. I had to wait several pictures to remove the drapes. Disappointed by the location but very happy with the Aurora Borealis. I hate to leave such a critical review but I think it’s important for consumers to know what they are getting for $600/night. Value is just not there.

It was absolutely fabulous to stay in Santa Claus Village Igloos!!!! They were beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the bathroom looked brand new. The employees were nothing but helpful and very friendly. It was so cool laying in bed at night looking at the open sky through the glass igloo. Everything at you need to do or see within walking distance. The only way to see Santa Claus Village!! Highly recommend!!!!!

An unforgettable experience. We arrived more than two hours earlier than the scheduled checkin time, and was pleasantly surprised to find our room ready. The reception staff were very friendly and asked us if we needed help to carry our luggage to the room. We stayed in a premium igloo room. We found the room to be immaculately clean amidst incredibly beautiful surroundings. The heated floor and the constantly maintained temperature of 22 degrees C kept us comfortable throughout, while the outside temperature hovered between -16 deg C to -20 deg C. We had booked dinner while checking in, and were pleasantly surprised to be told that the main course was complimentary. Dinner was great with reasonably good choice of starters, mains, drinks and desserts. We tried some of the available Lappish delicacies. The cherry on top was the Northern Lights - we did not need to book any Northern Lights hunting tour. We witnessed this marvel of nature from the hotel itself - both out in the open and from within the warm igloo itself. Overall, a superb stay. Highly recommended!

The staff at the reception was not friendly at all, but the trainee and the restaurant staff were.

Food selection is limited, dinner menu doesn’t change. The shower head was blocked with lime scales. And the shampoo and shower gel bottles were not in good condition. That’s why I’ve given poor rating on cleanliness.

In terms of location and the surrounding, I would give them perfect 5 stars.

Excellent place to stay if you want to be away from crowds and near nature. The sky and tree view from the igloo windows and ceiling were fabulous. It was a very peaceful place to stay to watch the snow falling and to view the Northern Lights.
The igloo was clean, modern, and roomy enough for two people. The onsite restaurant served excellent food and drinksyet the dinner choices were limited. The included breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had with numerous hot food choices and wonderful blueberry juice. The Staff were amazingly kind and helpful and there was no wait when we needed them.
Santa Clause Village is a ten minute walk from the igloos where you will find additional places to eat and a few shops. A highlight was meeting Santa Clause in his charming office (no cost) and standing at the Arctic Circle. There are some additional activities for fees at the Village.
Note: If you take the Santa Clause Village Bus from the RVN airport ($9.00 US) you will have a walk to the igloos which is challenging in the snow or mud. It would be helpful if they offered transportation on demand from the bus stop to the igloos in their Polaris. The taxi from the airport is $70.00 US.
We also took the Santa Clause Village Bus into the city center of Rovaniemi and took an excellent Northern Lights Tour with Arctic GM Experiences

Our guide was wonderful, and we saw the beautiful lights at the end of the season.

Overall the stay was what I expected. However, the heater wasn’t working in my igloo and while they were quick to attempt to resolve the issue it took hours for guest services to troubleshoot and remedy the situation. They ended up comping dinner and giving me another suite for the night but then woke me up multiple times the next morning to work while I attempted to sleep. Again, happy for the effort but no one wants to be woken up on their vacation.
Positives: their aurora alarm will wake you up in the middle of the night so you don’t sleep through catching them. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Property is easy to navigate and is walkable

If you're a 5-star type of traveler, this place will disappoint. We stayed in the Igloo but due to light pollution, it's extremely hard to see within the room.
The breakfast is what really tanks this place for me. There is no ala carte ordering and no staff members there to greet you guide you on where to sit bring any hot drinks or take a hot drink order when I went up to the only worker who's there during our first day not knowing exactly how they operate, I asked her how do we submit our drink orders is there a waiter that comes to our table and she looked agitated and said no everybody just serves themselves and you cannot order ala car and there's no way the kitchen can order things for you even if you have dietary restrictions. She was very rude and acted as if I was inconveniencing her.
We couldn't wait to leave.

Over priced and under delivered!

The igloos are clean and relatively new. The staff are friendly and helpful and it’s only a short stroll to Santa’s village. We had a few issues with a leaking hose in the bathroom and a faulty tv. The issue I had was the price doesn’t reflect the experience. It’s a seven star price for a three star accommodation. A price point of $300-$400 a night would be more realistic.

The cabin was spacious and clean. The furnishings were good, and the cooling aand heating worked well. The unit was good but entirely too overpriced. The heater made a weird noise all night, the tablet to cominucate with the front desk did not hold a charge and the shower water leaked all over the bathroom floor.

Our stay included breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was nice the forst day, but the second day the hotel did not have enough staff to accomodate for the amount of people at the hotel. They ran out of plates, coffee cups, water, and food items and were unable to replace them in a timely fashion.

The property is a walking distance from santas village which was nice.

Cosy stay at Igloo

Very clean and well-structured Igloo
It feels great to look at the sky while sleeping
You can get to witness northern lights from the comfort of your cosy bed
Proximity to the airport and Santa's village
Breakfast and Dinner main course are included in the booking price.

Drawbacks:
Being a remote location, there are few restaurants nearby.
The free main course portions were relatively small
The restaurant was pricey compared to the portions
During the day it got too bright for a toddler to sleep in the afternoon. There should be some mechanisms to cover the igloo to control the light during the day.

Disappointing, way too small for families.

This property has a campground-esque feel, with rows of igloos dotted throughout. It is one of the farthest properties from the central part of Santa Claus Village, about a 5-10 min walk to the action. We checked in that morning and they said they would call us when the room was ready. We came back at 3pm and found our luggage had been delivered to our room but they never called us, so the check-in experience was a disappointment. We are a family of four (two kids ages 8 and 11) and the four person igloo is very small. There is a little entry way for your boots and clothes, no common space, a nice master bedroom in the actual igloo part, but the second room with two twin beds literally fills the entire room, wall to wall, so you have to get on and off at the foot of the bed. They also warn you the igloo only has a water tank for 20 mins of shower time, so you’ll need to be quick with four people before it goes cold. Breakfast buffet was the most disappointing of the three hotels we stayed at in Finland. However, ironically, dinner in their restaurant was very good and probably the best we had. To be fair, the igloo concept is super cute, but just wasn’t practical for us. We also learned the odds of actually being in your igloo, laying cozily in bed, and seeing the northern lights is probably 2%, because you generally have to drive out late at night to an open nature area with limited light pollution.

We were initially dreading for the worst as the room heating wasn’t working and it was -25C outside. Thankfully staff here really did try and make it comfortable for us until the fuse was eventually replaced. Jani in particular was really good 👍

Overpriced for what it was. The bed was broken, clunked when you sat on it. Barely a chair to sit on in the room. For the cost of the place a coffee machine in the room would have been good. Dreadfully rude attendant at dinner, small portions, confusion at breakfast as no one there to greet you. Rude staff when asked why the room was so cold- poor communication and talked over the top of me.
I don’t think I would recommend this place to anyone.

I didnt realise but we had half board food which was a godsend as the food is very expensive. The breakfast buffet was varied and the dinner selection whilst limited was yummy and all lactose and gluten free. the northern lights alarm was really useful - we got to see them twice during our stay! the mini sledges to help get the children around were helpful. my only criticism was there isnt much storage in the rooms
