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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

Llevamos a nuestra madre de viaje sorpresa por sus 60, ha sido todo un acierto. Hacía frío pero no tanto como para pasarlo mal. Las habitaciones cabañas del hotel eran monísimas y estaban siempre calentitas. El buffet era muy pequeño, pero la comida de calidad. Todo el personal del hotel era súper agradable (como todos los finlandeses que nos hemos encontrado la verdad). La ducha salía que podías cocerte unos macarrones directamente jaja así que recomiendo ponerlo siempre en la temperatura fría porque te escaldas. No se oía absolutamente ningún ruido de fuera. Ver las estrellas y las auroras desde la cama fue una absoluta maravilla. Tuvimos suerte la última noche de poder ver las auroras con más intensidad. En Saariselkä (al que llegas andando en 10 minutos) hay muchas rutas de trekking súper bonitas. Y hay un bosque detrás de la zona del hotel donde poder caminar también, nosotras vimos un alce precioso a lo lejos. Para ponerle una pega, el sofá cama que nos tocó (cabaña 21) era incomodísimo, se te clavaban todos los muelles; pero pedimos un par de nórdicos más en recepción para almohadillar y perfecto, aunque por el precio del hotel es algo que deben mejorar. Al igual que el olor de las cañarías de los baños. Por lo demás, perfecto

다소 불편해도 존재 자체로 가치있는 노던라이츠

존재 자체로 가치가 있는 노던라이츠. 오로라나 별을 볼 수 있길 기대하며 2박을 했는데 머무는 내내 눈이 내리고 흐렸어요. 북유럽의 겨울은 날씨가 복병네요. 그렇지믄 빌리지 자체가 너무 아름다워서 주변 산책만 해도 행복했어요. 사진 100장 찍음ㅋㅋ 침대가 높고 매우 푹신해서 다소 불편했어요. 오두막 형식의 지붕으로 내부에 죽는 공간이 많아서 좁게 느껴져요.

La struttura è ottima malgrado la nostra cabina non fosse perfettamente pulita, c’erano delle lenti a contatto sul tappeto e alcuni capelli in bagno lasciate chiaramente dalle persone prima, spero che sia soltanto un caso isolato e una mia sfortuna, da una struttura di questo livello e di prezzo mi sarei aspettato di più. Per il resto tutto perfetto, dallo staff alle escursioni che organizzano, al ristorante dove c’è una varia scelta di cibo.

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 👍
