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!

Clean room, fantastic dinner at restaurant and delicious breakfast. Only have limited control of the heat temperature in the igloos so the smaller second bedroom was too hot (kept the window open all night in Jan!)

The whole experience was exceptional. Beautiful facilities, staff were terrific and the glass igloo was perfection. Short walk to Santa’s village meant there were plenty of activities too. I loved everything about this place.

The bidet was found leaking cause the floors get wet when we start using the sink. Staff is great as it came and fix it in a quick time. The shower room is not warm as the vantilating fan air keep blowing the cool air. Please improve on the shower room to keep warm.
