“Great place for first experience with snow”
Made for foreigners not accustomed with winter and snow. Good for groups, not for individuals. List prices high to give virtual discounts for groups.

“Living Through A Magical Christmas Movie!”
The Aurora Cabin was phenomenal! We got to see thr Northern lights on both evenings of our stay! This was the best winter holiday we have had. The Husky and Reindeer experience and the Aurora Camp is a must do. The food was hearty and delicious. Felt like we lived through the most magical Christmas movie!

“A fantastic arctic adventure.”
The remote location and the range of winter activities available were exactly what we had been hoping for. The hotel also provides the more important outdoor clothing and equipment for the various activities. The restaurant serves a fantastic variety of dishes.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are always buffet. Not high-end food, but still good cuisine. Room was very nice with the igloo roof. The location of the hotel is far away from everything, so you can enjoy pure nature and wilderness life. Sauna is for free.

“A very nice one day stay.”
We stayed in bubble. It was amazing. Dinner and breakfast was also fabulous. We enjoyed very much from our stay. I would definitely book this place if I ever visit Lapland again. There were a lot of activities in the hotel as well.

Beautiful location and nature, many varieties of activities (snowmobiling, snowshoeing, aurora hunting, etc.) with extremely nice guides (I cannot stress this enough, they were very nice :)), very clean rooms and tasteful common area to spend time comfortably. Staff was also kind and helpful. The two lakes in and outside the resort are perfect to see the Northern Lights with a very high chance of catching them. Highly recommended to all who want to experience Lapland in all its ways!

“Very nice place with amazing views.”
Not many food choices but the food was very tasteful and I enjoyed everything, the food the location. We were a bit disappointed as o Christmas Eve there was no dinner choices at all but after Christmas was better.

“Winter wonderland dreams come true”
Staying at this hotel is one of the best decisions we could ever make about our Finland trip. The location, the room, the facilities, all the activities, everything made staying here an absolutely fantastic experience that we genuinely can recommend to everyone. Plus, all the staff and services are exceptional. We were never tired of the food despite eating all meals there for 3 days straight!

“A once in a lifetime experience!”
We stayed in the Aurora bubble and it was the best thing we could do to see the Northern Lights. Highly recommend, we spent hours each night watching the lights from our bedroom. Facility has everything, awesome husky sleigh experience, reindeer experience etc. Communal area has several couches and spaces to relax and read or play boardgames. Dinner and breakfast was exceptional. Staff very friendly!

The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was very quiet and clean. The breakfast and the dinner are huge, with nice selection and some vegetarian options, and the food is really delicious. The staff were very friendly. We saw northern lights on two nights, the location is very beautiful.
