What a magical experience.. we love the East village,, it’s quiet and the staff are super friendly and helpful.. from beginning to end we were satisfied with the service, food in the dining area, the bell boy service.. the excursions are in the west side but we love East side more.. we saw the Aurora 3 nights of our 4 nights stay .. and yes their aurora alarm works.. we came here not for the convenience but for the REAL igloo experience and we are glad we did it.. thank you,, our winter vacation was perfect

Outstanding and memorable stay. Great adventures, northern lights and family fun. Food options were limited, especially for dinner and the service ended at 9pm, which didn’t work when we were out on a husky adventure and missed out. BUT, the husky adventure was AMAZING! Overall, an incredible stay!

No accommodating at all. No shower in the igloos. We have to walk so much to find the shower cabin in a negative degree weather. Then there were no signs to follow the route. The cancelled one of plans Husky last minute and did not really accommodate us with any other option. We wasted our whole day and a lot of time staying at this place.

My fiancé and I just stayed one night in one of the West Village igloos and we couldn’t have been happier. From start to finish everything was absolutely incredible! The ladies in reception were lovely, and extremely helpful and informative. The igloo exceeded all of our expectations. After reading a number of reviews with negatives, I have to say I couldn’t possibly disagree more. It’s enchanting. The workers are friendly. The food was fantastic. The igloo clean and so unique!! It was a once in a lifetime experience that I hope to do again.

West village is really a beautiful and extraordinary place. The entire property is wonderful. East village has a different character. It’s also charming but not as grand and open space as the west village. The igloos in the west village are gorgeous. If you want to see the northern lights, it’s highly recommended to stay in an igloo. We also stayed in a chalet but had to come out to check the northern lights. Unfortunately, the northern lights tracker in our room didn’t go off when northern lights appeared but saw it when you look up to the sky in the igloo.

Best Hotel in Finland

We stayed at the Kelo of West Village and it is very clean and cozy where you have your own sauna, bathroom, kitchen and of course the signature igloo. Staff are very helpful and we’ve also met the owner who’s very friendly and welcoming. We’ve stayed 5 nights and 3 nights with eye-visible northern lights. Oh and I have to mention, dinner is surprisingly delicious!!!

Property is great. I stayed in the East Village and frequently took the free shuttle at the front desk to the west village. The staff was very courteous and professional. Walking around the snow covered property was like a Disney movie. The food was not bad. Sometimes I did not like their meat options from their regular menu so I ate from the Indian menu and that was always good. Many vegetarian options. The only disappointment was that there is not much entertainment at night after 8PM. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property. Here are some suggestions before you go: Bring a flash light that fits in your pocket, bring head scarf and winter hat and ski pants. Private Taxi transfer from airport to hotel was $95 euros in January 2025. Rent a regular room and only stay at Igloo for the last night. East village is beautiful and less populated.

I thoroughly enjoyed the keto glass cabin with it's own sauna inside. It was clean with towels and slippers waiting. The trails were clear and easily walkable, day or night. Food was good and the wait staff were very friendly. My missing luggage was delivered right to my room as soon as it arrived. I'd stay here again

We had booked the west village chalet and west village igloo for one day each.Though expensive but we felt it was one of a kind experience.The chalet was clean, cosy,spacious and had finnish sauna .There was also a fireplace but you had to pay extra for firewood which we felt could have been included in the price .The igloo was also pretty with bathroom and finnish sauna.You need a shuttle bus to go to bus stop near East village which is free but needs to be coordinated with the reception in advance.Also the lugguage transfer was included which was great considering it was snowing when we arrived.The breafast and dinner was included , the options for breakfast are limited but manageable.The 3 course meal for dinner we opted for Indian menu which turned out good considering the location though the portion was small.We did the reindeer safari here and it was managed well.The staff we encountered throughout our stay were very polite,friendly and accomodating.
