Romance is in the air
Stayed in one of the igloo’s and it was very romantic. Even though we did not see the Northern Lights we did get to see stars. It was quite enjoyable. A bucket list item. Staff is very polite and friendly.

Amazing and special place. Food is great, staff are friendly, experiences are fun. Wifi is the only thing I wish could improve.

4/10 Fair

Very very bad experience with food which ruined the entire experience! The welcome at reception was nice, cabin was decent, activities were also nice! However, when I came to dinner it was horrible. Dinner was all different salads. I am a vegetarian, even then it was quite unsatisfactory for it. On top of that there were no drinks like juices, cola or similar included in the dinner. Those were available for extra cost. No one was ready to answer saying don't work in restaurant, talk to manager and all! Overall the staff ruined the experience during the dinner. NOT RECOMMENDED!

The Northern Lights village was a great property. Mother nature didn't cooperate with Northern Lights but it was a good stay. Travelers should note that this property is closed for the summer and opens in September and runs with limited staff and services until the busy season starts in November. Cabins were amazing, food was very good and staff was very friendly so would definitely recommend.

My cabin was freezing. I would say this is an average hotel but you’re paying for the Possibility of seeing the lights from your room. The food options weren’t great. There were too many families so that tempered the romance for a lot Of the couples there. However, our guides For the activities were phenomenal.
Leanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Aurora cabin was a likeable place to quiet down and if the weather permits, you’ll see the lights from your cabin. But there was no curtains for day time and it feels very bright to be in the cabin to rest. The room service tablet wasn’t working and was never replaced with new ones. When we went there, the snow was powdery and not good for any snow activities but after a frw days of snowing, there were snow mobile activities and we missed the chance as we didn’t know that it was available on the day. Would be nice if did the snow mobile. Food was very delicious 👍
Pearl, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed here for 3 nights and we actually saw some of the best Norther Lights for 2 nights! The cabin definitely has a fantastic view towards the sky and the towards north in general. The amount of activities available and timeslots available were more than sufficient for us to cover almost everything. All activities were managed and done very well and we enjoyed all thoroughly. I have to give a special shoutout to the team which did the "Search for Santa" activity. This is easily one of the best and most magical activity we have done, especially when looking at it from the little eyes of our 7 & 9 year old kids. This will be part of their memory (and ours) for a life time! Food options could have been better. We do not eat red meat and there was only Fish as the other option so we literally ate Salmon or some other similar fish for ALL meals. Breakfast too is repeated every day without any changes. At one point we went out to the nearby Kmart to buy instant noodles as the food options were really very few for those who do not eat red meat. If you are a Vegetarian or Vegan or need Halal food, you can't survive here. Getting your luggage to your cabin is gonna break your back as you have to load your luggage on the wooden sleigh and push through knee deep snow for quite a long distance. This sounds fun in the beginning until you start doing it. It becomes a horrible experience quite rapidly. But otherwise, the service from the staff has been top notch!

Great place really well run. Super helpful and friendly staff. We stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 in cabin 17, which was great. Cabins 1 to 20 are at the northern most edge of the resort, so you have nice views north of trees and the aurora, and not looking at the backs of more cabins. Top tip, there is a path not shown on the map from opposite cabin 17 direct to reception. First morning we went to reception and arranged activities for every day with the super helpful staff there – snowmobiling, dog sledging, reindeer sleigh ride, and aurora lake trip, all of which were great fun. Good views of the aurora from the warmth and comfort of our cabin when the clouds cleared. Views from the lake (and on route to the lake) were even better due to darker skies. Thanx to Lancashire Matt for a great fun snowmobile ride along interesting back route paths on Lynx 600cc snowmobiles – they were pretty easy to drive, with no gears and lovely heated grips. Dog sledging was with 5 dogs pulling, one person sitting in the sledge and the other driving / hanging on for dear life :-D Swapped driver and passenger half way. Lovely scenery, but very chilly, so I'd recommend wearing a ski mask. Reindeer sleigh ride was nice and sedate, at walking pace, nicely wrapped up warm, again through nice scenery. Transfer from and to airport was organised by the hotel for 70 Euros each way. Contact the resort in advance to request transfer. The office is not manned at weekends, so contact them in advance on

직원들이 너무 친절해요.
핀란드의 첫 숙소가 여기였는데 모든 직원들은 너무 친절해서 기분이 좋았습니다. 하지만 화장실에서 하수구 냄새가 올라와서 아쉬웠으며 캐리어 피려고 의자를 옆으로 살짝 옮겼더니 밑에 커피를 누가 쏟아둔거 같았는데 그대로 있었네요. 청소 부분에서는 조금 아쉬운게 많았습니다. 그래도 이 숙소에 묵는 동안은 꿈꾸는 것 처럼 행복했습니다.

Wir hatten einen fantastischen Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönes Resort. In unserem gemütlichen, renovierten Cabin konnten wir einen unbeschreiblichen Ausblick vom Bett aus dem Glasfach genießen. Wenn der Aurora Alarm der Resort-App losgeht, kann man vom Bett aus die Polarlichter tanzen sehen. Oder den Sternenhimmel beobachten. Es ist genug Platz für 2 Personen, die Badprodukte sind von der Marke Rituals. Alles war sehr sauber. Im wunderschön eingerichteten Restaurant gab es sehr gutes Essen vom Buffet! Wir haben drei tolle Ausflüge gemacht (Husky, Rentier Schlitten, Snow Mobile) mit sehr freundlichen Guides, die noch viel Hintergrundinfos gegeben haben. Gute Overalls, Schneestiefel und Handschuhe werden kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt. Mit dem Skibus kann man in 5-10 Minuten zum Skiresort fahren. Auch für Nicht-Skifahrer lohnt sich die Fahrt auf den Berg mit dem Sessellift für eine grandiose Aussicht über die Weiten Finnlands. In die kleine Stadt zum Supermarkt und Restaurants läuft man gemütlich in 10-15 Minuten. Es war alles perfekt und eine unbeschreiblich schöne Reise!!!
