I love everything in this property. It was a fantastic and restful stay with my sister and bestie. The staff are extremely nice - Andrea, Mia, Tina, Omar and the other cook all very warm and hospitable. Even the drivers who picked up and dropped us off at the Kakslautannen bus stop are friendly. I will surely go back and visit the place with my son and other family members in winter time. They will surely love this place. Thank you for hospitality.

Aurora cabins were super cute and had our own sauna. The food with half board was delicious and the lodge had great access to cross country ski trails. The only thing I wish they had was robes for the room (as often had to run out of the bathroom and everyone can see into your glass room) and a head board so the pillows didn’t keep falling off the bed! Haha

Great hotel in a slightly remote location—if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s perfect. We absolutely loved our stay, and it was very convenient for all the activities we wanted to do. The guides were excellent, and it’s a fantastic spot for seeing the Northern Lights. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious and well presented. The only small criticism is that the room lacked a few thoughtful details, such as cotton pads, body lotion, and hair conditioner. Small pampering touches like you often find in nice hotels would make the experience even better. :)

Overall nice stay! Buffet was delicious and probably the best buffet I have ever had. Rooms were very nice, especially if you’re lucky enough to have a sauna in your cabin. $40 credit for VIP membership didn’t do much. It was for public sauna or snow shoe rental only.

The location is unbelievable. A real wonderland. I stayed over New Years and there was snow everywhere. Maybe the most beautiful place I’ve been. I took lovely walks every morning. Great food. Nice rooms with good beds and bathrooms. Most of the time the staff at the front desk act like they don’t really care that much. Not all of them but some. The place is expensive and they don’t really try to help keep it affordable. Expect to be over charged for everything. Still, I loved it ! I hope I can go back someday. Really magical.

The property was nice and the staff was helpful however the language was a barrier can sometimes be a slight barrier but nevertheless the staff was very kind. The location is beautiful and very serene. The food is a real high point-we had a half board and both the breakfast and dinner were wonderful!! Really loved the food The only downside was that We were also told all the amenities were in our room for example cutlery and basics like shower gel however that was not the case for our room. Even the activities that we booked, we had to remind the team. Transportation to this hotel is a bit tricky in the winter, especially if you’re travelling by bus. We also had booked a private transfer to the airport however to our surprise when we got to the cab it was a minivan shared between 8-10 other people. Rest it was a great trip!

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting!

Really lovely place to stay, out in the wilds. There are lots of activities arranged by the hotel (at a price!) so you really don't have to go anywhere else. The hotel is beautifully decorated inside with a permanent Christmas theme (maybe not in the summer months?) The kitchen and dining room staff were excellent - so friendly, efficient, cheerful and helpful. My one criticism is that the reception staff did not help us take our luggage to our cabin and gave us poor directions as to how to find it in the snow and the cold and with the sun almost down. We had to drag heavy sledges full of suitcases ourselves and weren't sure exactly where to go. Paying so much per night for our stay, I would have expected our bags to have been taken for us. Also, our cabins were almost the furthest away possible from the main hotel building and, as a slightly older guest with some health issues (I can't walk very quickly and have some breathing issues), I would have preferred to be a bit nearer. I shall know to ask for a cabin nearer to reception next time, though the hotel says they can't guarantee a particular cabin when requests are sent beforehand. On that, the pre-stay help was also very good. The activities coordinators answered my many questions very patiently. My final comment is the activities are expensive compared to other providers in the area, but the guys who lead them are exceptional, particularly Pablo and Sara on the snowmobile reindeer farm trip.

We stayed three nights in the aurora igloo and it was the highlight of our Lapland trip, falling asleep under a glass roof and watching the northern lights dance above us was pure magic. Warm, cozy and comfortable, in a peaceful spot far from city lights. And the food was fantastic! Friendly staff, everything well organized. Highly recommended ,we'd love to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Winter Wonderland - can't be beat!

Probably the best hotel / resort I've ever stayed in. We splurged for the Igloo and saw the Northern lights through the glass ceiling on our second night. Food was outstanding, especially considering it was a buffet, but you'd never know it. Staff were all incredible, super friendly, helpful and just some of the kindest people I've met. Will absolutely be back!
