“Great experience overall”
The igloos are great! Paying the extra for the first row was totally worth it, as you get an amazing direct view of the lake. We woke up looking at a breathtaking dawn and saw the Northern Lights in the evening from our windows. Absolute magic!

“Saw the Northern Lights from bed!”
Staff was friendly and approachable. Especially Matias who did his best to book us on dates we had previously got wrong. Hats off to him for his patience. Also, we managed to see the northern lights from bed, which was just beyond description. Excursions were well organized and shuttle service always on time. We really had a great time!

“One night at Ranua igloos”
The igloos are really amazing. You have everything you need there. They're clean and cozy. We were there with three small kids so it was a little bit crowded, but it did the job.

“Enjoyable stay”
Beautiful site besides the lake, good location for Northern light (Unfortunately that's a cloudy night that we can't even see the star), friendly staff and willing to help. The Igloo is beautiful and well equipped. We also like the sauna

This is probably, the nicest, most unique stay that I have ever had. The setting of the igloos is breathtaking, the actual igloos are so comfortable and well appointed. There is nothing to describe lying in a cosy bed looking at the stars, or opening your eyes to an orange glow across a frosty lake. Breakfast was brilliant, so much choice, although I did discover that seems to be standard in Finland. It is a beautiful, peaceful and calming environment. Oh and the staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble.

“Amazing hotel, Friendly staff, Great Experience!”
The room was very nice, with the full walls and roof made of glass, which allowed us to have a spectacular view of the Aurora Borealis from our cozy bed! :) It had an integrated kitchen, bathroom and even a private sauna inside our room! We stayed in an igloo facing the frozen lake, which gave us an spectacular view.

“Magical!”
When I first booked this stay, I had a look at some of the reviews and almost changed my mind. I am so glad that I didn’t! It seems that all of the previous issues have been fixed. There is a reception on sight that offers a lovely breakfast and small selection for dinner. We cooked in our igloo the first night. The kitchen area is small but has everything you need to make a dinner on the hob (no oven unfortunately). The privacy was not an issue as there are curtains and blinds available however we opted to sleep without them to get a full view of the night sky and even managed to sleep under the northern lights. If you get lucky, the lake offers an incredible view of the lights- the reflection makes it very magical. We stayed in the lakeside igloo which had an unrestricted view and meant that we didn’t have to leave our igloo to notice the northern lights to begin with. The other igloos are very close to the lakeside ones though and the best views are outside anyway. The staff were friendly and helpful. They helped us to book a husky experience which was €85 each. It sounds expensive but I couldn’t recommend it enough. You get a whole hour husky ride. We went on carts which we controlled ourselves but were told that they use sledges when it snows. I would recommend hiring a car to get to the igloo but it’s also helpful to have in Lapland in general. Most places are a drive away. The car also gave us the freedom to travel in search of the northern lights late at night. We were recommended to go to Honkivaaran, which is a secluded spot in the forest with an outside toilet, fire pits and viewing point. It’s a good spot for viewing the lights away from any light pollution. Having the car meant that we didn’t have to pay for any of the northern lights chasing trips and had freedom to go on our own. I don’t often write reviews but I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!
