The glass igloos were incredible. The staff was very friendly and helpful arranging my shuttles to the zoo and bus station. I was sad to leave, I fell in love with the igloo and could live there forever. I highly recommend this experience.

This stay was amazing! One of the best experiences I’ve had in a very long time. The staff is really helpful and kind. The food is not to be missed. Breakfast buffet is just right to get your day going and the full dinner option was phenomenal. I’d arrive at my chosen time and my table was waiting each night. Every course was carefully prepared and incredibly tasty. The view from my igloo was better than I imagined. Right beside the frozen lake. The igloo had everything I could possibly want including a sauna which I used every night. I’m wasn’t lucky with the weather and didn’t get to see the lights at night. I see that as an invitation to return again perhaps a little earlier in the year.

Loved the Resort Arctic Igloos. We stayed for 2 nights and can't see Aurora due to the weather too cloudy. The resort doesnt provide slippers ! The only setback Is the location. No buses, free shuttle service to near by mini market. Transportation need to pay ! Next time should rent a car for more convenient .

Overpriced…

Expected a little more isolation of igloos from each other for the price. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was just ok, the fish was not fresh at all.

The disappointing reality does not compare with what is portrayed on the Ranua Arctic Igloos website. There is no transfer of luggage available from the reception office to the igloos/cabins. Guests have to carry or wheel or sled their luggage through snow, ice, mud, depending on weather conditions. The only attraction that is relatively close to the facility is the wildlife park, but other activities are further away, requiring transportation costs. If there is insufficient snow, or conditions are too icy, all snow-dependent activities (dog sledding, reindeer rides, horse riding, snowmobiling) are unavailable leaving nothing to do in the area except visit the wildlife park. Better to find accommodation in Rovaniemi to be closer to more activities and tour providers that are available there, as well as the many restaurants in the city center. Food selection was very limited and poor quality considering the hotel’s self-claimed rating. In summary, a very expensive and disappointing experience.

写真通りで、部屋は素晴らしいです。窓の雪は殆ど溶けていて星空はよく見えています。スタッフも素晴らしいです。夜遅いチェックインですが、行く前にメールで何回もやりとりして、丁寧にかつ迅速に返信くれて凄く助かりました。朝食も良かったです。品数は多くないが、店員さんが凄く親切です。アクティビティも豊富で、とても楽しかったです。場所は空港から遠いので、移動はお金かかりますが、部屋代は高くないです。また、人は少なく、混んでなくて静かで、きれいです。もっとここに長く泊まれば良かったと思いました。最高な思い出になりました。

Le petit déjeuner n'est pas à prendre dans l'igloo. Le restaurant pour le soir est assez limité... on aurait apprécié un plateau à deguster sous les aurores. Maiiis la magie était au rdv et ce fût une nuit extraordinaire !!!! Je recommande très fortement malgré le prix de la nuit !

飯店員工沒有紀律

每個冰屋都是獨立的，辦理入住的大廳是一棟在園區最前面的房子，入住當天飯店告知隔天早餐時間08：00開始，隔天我們08：30抵達入住大廳準備用早餐，吃完要離開飯店往下一個行程，但是大門鎖住裡面根本沒有人，同時也有好幾組客人在門口等待，一直沒有員工來開門，當天早上溫度大約是-10左右，早上8點多天還沒亮，我們住的冰屋是園區的最後面，步行來回需要近20分鐘，你只能選擇在這麼冷的天氣在戶外等待或是走回房間等，這是一個很不負責的工作態度，入住當天是平安夜，我可以理解員工可能前一晚有活動很難早起，但必須要告訴我們早餐時間需要被延後，而不是讓我們花時間在這麼冷的天氣裡等待跟步行，這讓住宿體驗感到很差。

Ainutlaatuinen ja unohtumaton majoitus järvinäköalalla. Pilvetön taivas kruunasi kokemusta. Iglu siisti ja sopivan tilava. Meidän onni oli, että naapuri-igluissa ei ollut majoittujia, muutoin ei olisi ollut kunnon yksityisyyttä. Respasta annettiin mukaan aamiainen, joka oli jossain määrin maistuva ja kiva syödä mahtavassa ympäristössä, mutta ehkä tuohon hintaan odottaisi jotain "premiumia" eikä esim pikkuisen kuivuneita markettileivän siivuja.

Very cute cabin with all amenities you need. WiFi is good. We are family of 4 ( 2 kids 12 and 5) Extra beds are small even for the kids. We have to check in at Holiday village Gulo Gulo at Ranua zoo before driving to the Igloo which is about 5 mins away.( the instructions was sent to us earlier so no confusion) . The staff are very nice and helpful.
