The best stay I ever had!!!!! The staff was absolutely amazing, everyone was so nice and cheerful. The property has everything you need, all the amenities were super fun. we got to see the best northern lights without leaving anywhere. worth every single penny
This place is absolutely incredible! It was renovated late 2025 and the new restaurant etc is beautiful. The food is 10/10, staff amazing and the entire area and facilities are wonderful. Excellent activities available too and you can hire all winter clothing needed for free (if you come in winter). Also very close to Ivalo airport and easy access to Inari and Saariselka as well. Highly recommended!
Igloo was cozy and more spacious than I thought. The food in the restaurant was amazing (especially the vegetarian options).
Staff were friendly and the sauna/jacuzzi in the snow was a highlight. Sadly no Northern Lights, there was a lot of activity that week but too much cloud cover. Would definitely recommend.
Had a lovely time in Aurora Village. There’s a wide range of excursion to choose from and the facilities are all well maintained. Good selection for the breakfast buffet delicious dinner menus.
This is a truely magical place to stay. Every aspect from the accommodation to the food to the staff is excellent. Take advantage of the tours on offer with the knowledge guides. Was able to see the lights from our room nightly.
I had a late checkin due to flight limitations. Aurora hotel had a fresh salad, sandwich and dessert waiting for me 😮. Facilities are exceptional and a mile to downtown Ivalo. Tasteful decor, grounds are well maintained and keeping with the beauty of the land all blend well.
Love the location excellent run property and the suna is outstanding. Extremely helpful front desk staff. The kitchen can be a little more accommodating for allergies. Meals only one choice and small portions
Really great place to get away from it all and enjoy beautiful scenery and fun activities.
So peaceful and relaxing.
The food was good and the service was very helpful and very friendly.
stayed two summer nights, and it seems like the focus was winther guest - so the service was at a minimum in this fine summer. Its new fine hotel and I think it shines more in winther than summer - no TV - fridge ans nice coffemachine
The Aurora Village is 10/5 stars! While a smaller resort (about 28 cabins), there is nothing lacking all but instead adds to the experience. The staff easily remember who you are and treat you like friends versus some guest...whether reception, guides, or the restaurant. I'd like to give special praise to Elena & Annamarija who helped me book everything months in advance. Also two guides: Ruta & Niek - for snowmobiling, snow shoe hiking and cross country skiing. The owner took a group of us on a scheduled night snowmobile trip and he's terrific person from that experience. The cabins were cozy, clean, and warm. The restaurant food was terrific (I'm kind of a picky eater too). The Aurora Village was the best!!!
