Awesome as i was fortunate to see Aurora lights from room the primary reason for booking the place

Property was very good. Location in very good. For vegetarians food options are quite limited. I preferred Jain meals and had very hard time explaining the same. I ended eating the food that i carried my self even though i had opted half board meal plan. Staff can be more helpful and provide some basic service like carrying the luggage, few in room service, nearest bus station transfers as part of the booking as they are so heavily charged.

Aurora hunting hotel

Luckily, I could see Aurora in three nights. Husky safari is must-do list. Also, the water pool in sauna is one of the coldest water pools in the world. I enjoyed it. The room guarantee you to privately stay. Also, staff are friendly and always helpful.

Exceptional Auroras view from glass cabin

The cabin on the edge of the forest exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort, decor and the gas fire added ambience. The glass “igloo” viewing of the auroras was exceptional as the location is remote so no light pollution. I signed up for the alerts (included in my stay) and being woken up was worth it because the strongest auroras happened after 11pm.

Perfect northern lights stay!!!

Phenomenal location, really scenic and peaceful. The cabins are absolutely beautiful, really lovely and warm in the cold with the ability to defrost windows when they ice up to preserve the view. We had a cabin with a lovely forest view and it was just perfect for our trip and we could see some aurora through the glass roof!! Staff were very kind and helpful and the facilities were great. I honestly wish I could have stayed there longer it was truly a dream!!

The views from the igloos, if you are lucky enough you can see the northern lights clearly and stay warm. Even without the lights, watching the stars is great.

Phenomenal stay!

Absolutely delicious dinner! Breakfast not quite as fantastic, but still very good (morning shift staff Butz and May were amazing!); the cabin is so cozy and well equipped (panoramic window and views to the forest were magical); excursion options were varied and started from the hotel - lead guide Abraham as well as guide Pedro were super supportive! And yes, Northern lights were visible as well (hotel’s aurora alarm is accurate)!

I stayed in a cabin on the last row which was quiet and less light polution, a perfect spot for night photography. It has an amazing view of the forest. Inside the cabin was clean, warm and cozy. It contained everything you need. The dinner buffet was also nice. Every staff was attentive and friendly. It is a short distance walk from the center and bus stop. Overall, it was my amazing experience and 100% worth the money.

Everything was great. Especially the rooms and activities were very good. It was fascinating to see the aurora lights from our room. All the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. Especially our Greek neighbors Alexandre from the restaurant, Alexandre from Aurora Camp and the Hungarian lady from whose name we forgot were very helpful. We were satisfied with all the activities, all of them were very enjoyable. The food was delicious but the variety was limited, it could have been better in this regard. It is also an advantage that it is 20-25 minutes away from the airport. You can walk to Sariselka nearby and visit. Thank you for everything.
