Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service
The staff at the reception was not friendly at all, but the trainee and the restaurant staff were.
Food selection is limited, dinner menu doesn’t change. The shower head was blocked with lime scales. And the shampoo and shower gel bottles were not in good condition. That’s why I’ve given poor rating on cleanliness.
In terms of location and the surrounding, I would give them perfect 5 stars.
Igloo was very comfortable and the view was beautiful. Staff was very friendly, caring and informative. Got to walk all over and see the nearby huskies and reindeer. Was very clean and comfortable Wish we could have stayed longer.
Elizabeth was excellent helping us check in and we ended up upgrading to the jacuzzi. It was well worth it and a wonderful place I was lucky enough to enjoy the northern lights from.
Food menu was limited but lovely and reasonable prices including the bar.
The staff were VERY accommodating, welcoming and stellar in every way! Can’t say enough good things. The igloo was exactly as advertised and very cozy and nice. The Arctic Eye restaurant for dinner was excellent and very top notch, must try the elk tenderloin! The breakfast was perfect and very large and delicious. This is our Go To place for visiting Rovaniemi, definitely worth the trip!
Everything was closed because it's September. However I'm pretty sure they make enough the rest of the year to have just enough staff to keep things open. No shuttle service and it's too far from main attractions and food and to get luggage to rooms etc
Very nice hotel. Away from the crowds but within walkable distance from Santa’s village and bus stop that takes you to Rovaniemi center. The igloos are amazing. You can watch the sky and relax thanks to the piece and quite surroundings
Very clean room and bathroom. Staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. They even delivered my bag to my room since my arm was injured. Made me feel like a very valued guest
Excellent place to stay if you want to be away from crowds and near nature. The sky and tree view from the igloo windows and ceiling were fabulous. It was a very peaceful place to stay to watch the snow falling and to view the Northern Lights.
The igloo was clean, modern, and roomy enough for two people. The onsite restaurant served excellent food and drinksyet the dinner choices were limited. The included breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had with numerous hot food choices and wonderful blueberry juice. The Staff were amazingly kind and helpful and there was no wait when we needed them.
Santa Clause Village is a ten minute walk from the igloos where you will find additional places to eat and a few shops. A highlight was meeting Santa Clause in his charming office (no cost) and standing at the Arctic Circle. There are some additional activities for fees at the Village.
Note: If you take the Santa Clause Village Bus from the RVN airport ($9.00 US) you will have a walk to the igloos which is challenging in the snow or mud. It would be helpful if they offered transportation on demand from the bus stop to the igloos in their Polaris. The taxi from the airport is $70.00 US.
We also took the Santa Clause Village Bus into the city center of Rovaniemi and took an excellent Northern Lights Tour with Arctic GM Experiences
Northern Lights Rovaniemi Guaranteed Viewing and Unlimited Mileage.
Our guide was wonderful, and we saw the beautiful lights at the end of the season.
Love the glass ceiling and we were fortunate to see the northern lights from our room, it was AMAZING !!! Didn't like the 2 twin beds, would be better to have queen bed instead,and their dinner menu/food was really pricey.
Santa’s igloo’s was an amazing resort to stay at. The staff were very accommodating and friendly.
All igloos are all within walking distance to all the attractions and every igloo is very cozy, clean and comfortable. I recommend this resort for anyone looking for an amazing experience viewing the Northern Lights and enjoying the surrounding area.
