This was our last leg of our winter honeymoon. This is definately worth the effort and money due to the remoteness and beauty of Lapland in winter. However, here are a few suggestiong for those braving the cold for this experience: 1. The ice bar was not open yet, due to the weather. If that is a priority for you,... More

Bottom line (read below for more details): We had a great trip and have no regrets about going. We'd go back to Finnish Lapland, enjoyed our stay at the resort, but would just do a few things differently like: 1) Early December was still too soon for the ice igloos or bar, try going later in the winter 2) Skip...

We stayed two nights in the glass igloos and one in a snow igloo. Both were warmer than we expected - our glass igloo was about 20 degrees when it was -30 outside. The ice bar and two of the restaurants were closed but the food in the main building was really excellent and the piano bar did amazingly tasty... More

This little Glass Igloo Village was gorgeous - we only stayed one night, but that was enough. The igloos were very warm, the beds were confortable - twin beds side-by-side, with individual controls, so in the event that there actually were Northern Lights, you could adjust your bed to a suitable viewing position! Sadly, there were no lights visible during... More

There were elements that were outstanding and others that were questionable. Ivalo is absolutely beautiful and compared to it's Swedish Lapland neighbor, Finland and Ivalo in particular is by far the more beautiful place. We stayed in a log cabin for 2 nights, then in the glass igloo for 1 night and finally in the snow igloo for 1 night.... More

Stayed at the glass igloo for the night and spent another night at the log cabin. For the glass igloo - beds were quite narrow and there were no showers. There are showers in the main building. Do note that the glass igloos are not where the log cabins are but when you arrive there is a van to shuttle... More

Stayed in the glass igloo for one night. It was a very unique experience,much like camping but in a comfortable place. There are toilet facilities in the igloo but no shower. For shower, will need to walk out to the common areas. It's more suitable for short stays. Food prices are very reasonable with fresh ingredients. Breakfast was lovely as... More

I travel a lot and have stayed in places that range from 1 star to 5 star. This place is rated as a 4 star but is a 2-3 star at best. After reading good reviews on it I was disappointed by the reality. The location is good and it is definitely unique with the snow chapel and igloos (glass... More

We really liked this hotel, staying in a log cabin for two nights and a glass igloo for one. Northern Lights were faint and not what we had hoped for, but a great time looking for them. The hotel is nice and the staff were friendly, restaurant a little bit limited- one menu daily- but a la carte was available.... More

See the photos for yourselves:)! We had 3 days with amazing northern lights during Easter holiday. For activities, I would recommend getting the snowmobile safari, the husky safari and the 2.5 hours reindeer safari(instead of the 4 hours one). Nice tracking paths at nearby Kiilopaa, at 6 Km, the Saariselka ski resort is also at 6 Km distance.
