We booked an igloo for 3 adults but there was only a queen size bed and a mattress which hardly could fit on the floor. The receptionist said they recommend everywhere that it's for 2 adults and 1 child but you can book it for 3 adults on their website and on booking as well. I don't think it should be bookable for 3 adults. It's not a fair deal for this prize. The breakfast was pretty outdated and low cost.

“Glass Igloo”
We wanted to try the glass igloos. Great experience because you can see the lake, even if it's covered in snow. There's a Zoo and Activity Park nearby, so we had plenty to do both days.

The iglo is great. And well equipped. But as expected very compact. But still enough storage. We cooked some lunch in the iglo which was a nice experience to eat with views over the lake. The views are amazing! And the experience is very special. But I am happy we only spend one night. The price is rather high for the comfort you receive. The shower and the restrooms in the main building can use some renovation. But it is a great experience and the staff is very friendly.

“Great for a short stay”
We were staying in the Annex building by choice, so this review is not about the igloos. It was a rather small room but had a spacious bathroom with separate window. The room had a kettle and a microwave, very convenient. Great view over the frozen lake. Possibility to use private sauna for free (you need to book your preferred time at the reception). The hotel also offers some safari activities, like husky rides, right in front of a hotel, at the lake. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Loved this place. I got a solo room and it had everything i needed. I felt cold the first day I arrived because it was -35 degrees, I told them and they immediately helped. The restaurant has great food and all the staff are really nice and friendly. Definitely recommend this place. Oh and I saw the northen lights from here!!

“Ranua is definitely based on nature and booking your tours. If you want to go out in the evenings( apart from your tours”
Very friendly helpful staff and owners with a good breakfast included. Stunning views from your accommodation across a frozen lake in winter where you can have a local husky ride which I highly recommend. Tour group lupland based on site with a good choice of excursions and experience.

We slept 1 night in the glass igloo and 2 nights in the superior chalets, they were both awesome! The igloo has a fantastic view of the sky over the frozen lake, it is very well organised inside with a lot of space for storage, it is warm and cosy, the windows were very clean and we had a perfect view of the surroundings. We were 3 adults, so one of us slept on a mattress on the floor but is was comfortable and warm anyway. The brand new chalets are stunning and luxurious, with ample windows over the lake and a beautiful interior design! They are very spacious and welcoming, warm and beautifully lit with different types of lights, every detail is well thought through. You just want to spend all day in the chalet on its comfortable chairs and beds admiring the incredible and peaceful landscape through the windows! The wifi works perfectly well, the sauna is available for 1h per day upon reservation, the staff is very kind and helpful. We loved our stay here!

The staff were really friendly but there were very few amenities and the restaurant was extremely overpriced. The setting was lovely, albeit there was construction at the time, which took from the experience. While the igloos were nice they were not worth the money.

1. The location is great. It's close to a supermarket and to bus stops. 2. It's just by the river and it's very beautiful. 3. The breakfast is very delicious. We had lunch there and it was also very tasty. 4. The staff was very friendly and helpful. 5. There's a microwave in the room, which is quite nice if you want to heat up your own food.
