It would have been Nice to have some fruit, cut out at the breakfest buffet. And people were sitting very close to the buffet, so it could be difficult to get the Food and juice. The spa was nice, maybe put a sign up to the locker-room(where you change before going to the spa) as we had trouble finding it and just thought it was toilets. Over all, a very fine hotel

We had a mixed stay. The biggest positive was the staff, everyone was warm and helpful, especially Anika, who went above and beyond, and Gabriel, an excellent guide who made the excursions enjoyable. The setting is beautiful, the spa is nice, and airport transfers were convenient. However, there were major issues. The treehouse is extremely small and felt claustrophobic even with three people. Food was a serious problem, despite written confirmation months ahead that our dietary needs could be met, we were told four days before arrival that they couldn’t. Given the remote location and severe allergies in our group, this was very stressful and unacceptable. Portions were small for the price, breakfast options for non-meat eaters were very limited, and no manager was ever available to speak with us. We also had a negative spa experience due to other guests disrupting a reserved booking, with no follow-up from management. Overall, the staff on the ground were the only real highlight, trying their best despite poor management.

Great day and night spent at the Aito Igloo Resort in the quite and beautiful landscape surrounded by snow, the forest and the lake. Very nice the spa formula included in the accomodation. We also had the possibility to have a dinner inside the restaurant and it was delicious. I suggest to improve the toilet space in the Igloo since it's quite small and difficult to be used.

Amazing stay

The service was excellent, breakfast was amazing. Beautiful location, very relaxing. Patti was very helpful. Being newly open I’d say they need a few extra things to explain how some items worked. We stayed in the Nest and without remembering all the explanations, we may have had some difficulty.

Unforgettable Stay at Aito!

We had an amazing experience at Aito, and we highly recommend it! The spa facilities were excellent, with finnish sauna and jacuzzi. Snowmobiling was an exciting adventure that allowed us to explore the beautiful surroundings in a fun way. The lake-view igloo was simply adorable—though small, it offered stunning views and a cozy, magical atmosphere. We absolutely loved the Junior Suite. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and felt like a true home away from home. The staff at the resort were incredibly helpful and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, our time at Aito was unforgettable, and we hope to return one day!

It's a Wonderful Gem hidden in Lapland. The front staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa was amazing, relaxing, and beautiful. The salmon soup for lunch was amazing and delicious. The fine dining was a bit understaffed, but the staff was lovely and made up for the long wait. We enjoyed the Aurora Tree House—it was beautiful. Our tip would be to add some amenities to the hotel room, like a vanity set, dental set, etc. We loved this place!

The location was superb and so were the facilities. However, there is no management to guide the young staff left alone to run the hotel.....there is also more to be done on clearly stating the local activities and prices....the restaurant menu, especially lunch need to be a more varied if you are staying for more than two days. Airport pickup is chaotic and overal management needs to be improved.

Absolutely beautiful, highly recommend. We cant wait to go back . The only things would suggest and not a criticism at all , but a mirror in the bedroom area would have been nice and a wider choice of lunch time menu, but understand they are keeping to traditional cuisine. A coffee lounge area would have have been amazinv give. The location . Honestly the best place i have ever visited . YOU HAVE TO GO !!

Good but could have been better.

Good but not great. Some things were excellent but the excessive light pollution from the hotel and the excessive amounts of light diminished the aurora experience. Even all the way on the lake the bright lights of the resort spilled excessive light pollution for what is otherwise an extremely dark area. The treehouse was very fun, dinner was good but slow.

Treehouse not worth the price

Stayed in one of the treehouses for one night and took advantage of the spa. The novelty wears off once you realize you can’t control the temp of your room. The spa was fine but already needed had some wear and tear despite being relatively new. American style breakfast want worth waking up in the dark for.

The igloos were a fun experience, but similar to glamping - no shower, and a compostable toilet that wasn’t changed during our 3 night stay. Our bed also was only made for the first time on our last night. There was also a carafe of water in your room that you had to refill yourself during your stay, and reception rarely had water, so it felt like it was hard to come by. Service was also not 5 star quality - they would serve multiple customers at once (instead of dealing with one issue and moving on) and then speak openly about other guests problems in front of customers. We had a 4pm check in and when we returned to reception at 5pm, we had to wait 20 mins while the staff got distracted on another guests issue before they could check our room and let us in (we arrived at the hotel at 1pm). The hotel is very remote so I’d advise bringing your own snacks, because if you miss lunch, there’s nothing to eat until dinner at 5pm. The food however was delicious and felt 5* (albeit a little pricey). We also wished the aurora bar was open more nights after dinner - they didn’t say when it would be open but is a nice place to have a drink and roast some marshmallows. The spa facilities were good and it was fairly quiet during our stay. Would recommend Baba Husky’s Husky ride as an activity - you just need to organise a transfer (you have to pay) out of the resort to nearby Santa Claus village. That was the highlight of our stay.

Stayed for a night in an igloo and the service from staff was first class from the moment we were picked up from the train station. Our igloo had great views of the surrounding nature with amazing resort facilities. The spa and sauna was very relaxing and breakfast was delicious. Would stay here again if I return to a Rovaniemi one day.
