It was an amazing experience, the staff was super helpful and attentive, the location is perfect with the village really close to Santa’s Village and a lot of activities around, and the accommodation is amazing. We got to see the norther lights from our room and the view was incredible. Definitely we’ll be coming back in our next trip to Rovaniemi.

Amazing experience but just lack of luck
It’s an amazing experience except no luck for Aurora that night.
And unlucky that our room TV is not working too.

Nice Start in Finland!
We arrived early and the room was not ready yet, then the front office staff was friendly to introduce us the Santa Clause Village. It takes around 10 mins walk from the hotel to the Village - It’s really close to it!
The room is clean and eco-friendly! Please ensure you bring your teeth brush or other amenities!
Lucky us, we were able to see the aurora night from the hotel - it was not strong but it’s a good start for us in Finland!
Breakfast and dinner is included and they are good tho!

Too short a stay
Hugo & Gelli are wonderful customer service staff. Food is great. Igloo cottage is cute, though no microwave oven. There's no shuttle from reception to the Santa's village, which is quite far. Not sure if they have sauna, but it
was not offered. Heated glass roof was awesome, too bad sky has 100% cloud cover. Stayed 2 nights only.

The igloo was such a unique experience! Unfortunately it was cloudy and raining most of our trip but it was such a cozy stay and walkable to Santa’s village and so many fun activities! We went to the breakfast every morning and the dinner/ drinks in the lobby bar were wonderful! It was definitely a slower season, but the staff was so friendly and pleasant to interact with. Would love to come back for a winter trip one day!

Over priced and under delivered!
The igloos are clean and relatively new. The staff are friendly and helpful and it’s only a short stroll to Santa’s village. We had a few issues with a leaking hose in the bathroom and a faulty tv. The issue I had was the price doesn’t reflect the experience. It’s a seven star price for a three star accommodation. A price point of $300-$400 a night would be more realistic.

The staff was so welcoming and kind, I felt like I was right at home upon my arrival. I traveled with my son for his birthday trip and they even prepared a small surprise gift for him. Everything was so pleasant and perfect. The room was clean and nice. We even got to see the aurora after setting the aurora alarm on. Thank you for the amazing stay. We will def come back again in the future.
