It was an amazing experience, the staff was super helpful and attentive, the location is perfect with the village really close to Santa’s Village and a lot of activities around, and the accommodation is amazing. We got to see the norther lights from our room and the view was incredible. Definitely we’ll be coming back in our next trip to Rovaniemi.

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.

Great escape
Amazing stay! We rented an igloo with a hot tub and it was perfect. The staff was very kind and accommodating. The breakfast and dinner, which were included (main course) were both really tasty. I celebrated my birthday while I was there and they kindly left a bottle of bubbles and glasses in our room as a nice celebratory surprise!

The igloo was such a unique experience! Unfortunately it was cloudy and raining most of our trip but it was such a cozy stay and walkable to Santa’s village and so many fun activities! We went to the breakfast every morning and the dinner/ drinks in the lobby bar were wonderful! It was definitely a slower season, but the staff was so friendly and pleasant to interact with. Would love to come back for a winter trip one day!

Everything was so pleasant and perfect. The room was clean and nice. We even got to see the aurora after setting the aurora alarm on. Thank you for the amazing stay.

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.
