The location is great and the facilities are adequate although it falls short of what the glamorous advertising leads you to believe and quite frankly the notion of pre-ordering food 3 days in advance is simply bizarre (you can freeze food nowadays!! Buy a freezer!!). The most disappointing aspect of the stay was the negative attitude of the staff and most importantly the owner / manager. Everything was too much trouble! Thankfully the neighbouring resort "Usad'ba Kanent"Yavr" had a fully stocked and beautiful restaurant and a "can do" attitude so we ate there and they organised all of our excursions for us with zero fuss.

Response from Helen Terebenina, Управление доходами at Aurora Village Murmansk Eco Hotel
Responded Oct 26, 2023
Hello! Thank you so much for your honest review. Indeed, we accept orders for meals 2-3 days before arrival, as the cafe does not have a kitchen yet. We do not welcome frozen food and try to provide our guests with fresh food prepared in Murmansk. We inform all our guests about the peculiarities of ordering food. We are very sorry that you did not pay attention to it. We would like to thank our colleagues from Kenentyavr Manor for helping you with meals.

Spent a night there in late January 2022. I was not in luck, the sky was clouded, so no northern lights for me to see through the glass front of the igloo, but it still was one of the highlights of my trip beyond the polar circle. It's literally in the wilderness, so it's incredibly peaceful and quiet. The igloos are raised over the ground and connected by a boardwalk, so the only sounds heard are people walking on the boards and the two local dogs (a beautiful long-haired German Shepherd and a gorgeous husky) giving an occasional bark. The glass front has a curtain you can draw, which is something mostly needed in summer when the sun does not set. Food is served in the central large igloo, meals need to be ordered in advance. I found the selection large and the quality of food was good. Rooms are very warm, floors are heated, the bathroom is large, has a shower stall, and water can be boiling hot. In addition to radiator heating, every igloo has a stove and a supply of wood. There are barbecue facilities, so you could do that, too. The room even had a safe! No television, though, which I thought was wonderful. (If someone really needs their daily does of that, there is one in the central igloo.) And there is an air conditioner for the summer. The igloo itself is a storey and a half affair. There are two beds in the lower section plus a folding bed, and then you can climb the drop-down ladder to find two mattresses on the mezzanine floor. No guardrail. Then there were groups of four and five staying there and they appeared perfectly happy with everything. All in all, it was a fantastic stay, and I only wish I could stay longer and actually see northern lights right from my bed.…

Heating and shelter are really good, but the rest is not. For example, there is no food even if you want to buy it. Take food with you Take a hair dryer and bath towels. You should pay extra 2000 rubles for the transfer from the airport per person one way.

We stayed at Aurora Village for 4 days and a half in summer for a glamping adventure. The domes are extremely cosy and warm with floor heating when the temperatures drop at night and there's even a stove with wood if you are chilly. Everything inside is convenient : a large bathroom with excellent shower, a table and chairs. If you are a family, there's a mezzanine upstairs with more beds. It is a great spot to get a beautiful view over the lake. On the glamping site, there's a café which is soon to open (it will be a fantastic place for sunsets over the lake!). You also have the possibility to bring your own food to cook on the bbq (chachliks are a traditional activity for Russian people). And there's also a Japanese jacuzzi if you feel like a warm relaxing time. If, like I am, you are more of a cold bath person, a swim in the lake is also a great refreshing activity that I recommend (for a few minutes if you don't want to end up frozen:-)). You can also easily go for a hike in the tundra around the lake. Russian people pick berries and mushrooms there at that time of the year so as the saying goes : do as the locals do! If you walk towards the left hand-side of the beach, you will end up in a pretty picturesque village on the shore of the lake. Only locals and datchas there, but it's worth it especially around 4 or 5 pm for photos when the lights turn golden. Talking about golden, we saw the midnight sun while we were there ! An incredible moment ! Aurora Village also organises day tours. We took one to Teriberka which I strongly recommend as well. Indeed, we ended up on the north-western coast of Russia on the shores of the Barents sea which was a total escape for foreigners like us ! We saw the wide and wild tundra, the one you read about in adventure novels when you are young, magnificent lakes and, of course, the old fishermen's village called Teriberka. Further away on the other side of the village, we took some pics at the ghostly but very photogenic ship cemetery : a great place for your instagram account ;-) and then, we went to Dragon eggs beach (wow ! THAT is a spot !) And to a wild waterfall. I'd like to thank Oleg and his staff for making our week at Aurora village a great time. We were stuck in Russia because of covid 19 and couldn't see our family in France which we haven't seen for a year so we really appreciated their warm welcome, their disponibility and efficiency.…

We hoped this would be in the right place to see the Aurora, alas the cloud didn’t let that happen. None the less, it was a unique experience in the Village, staying in a modern take on an igloo. They are building a restaurant on site, which if you are staying more than one night, will be a really good thing. We stayed 4 nights hoping to be sure of seeing the lights and so had to take our own food as there is nothing around. There is no cooking facilities in the cabin/igloo, they can do a BBQ but this is really only for marshmallows and not really for cooking. There is no fridge or other things to store food so take stuff that can be hydrated with hot water...or muesli bars / food that can be eaten as is. Space is a premium inside the unit as well so your suitcase becomes your storage or the floor. Staff are friendly and the huskies are great fun but there is not a lot to do if you plan on staying more than overnight. We did a lot of reading and walking in the snow as this place is pretty remote. We arranged a stop at a supermarket in Murmansk on the way from the airport to stock up on drinking water and other supplies. Again, nothing at the Village to buy or shops close by. Also, would recommend to take your own towel as the ones provided were only hand towel size. Overall, a great experience and glad we went. Hope you get to see the Borealis on your visit.…

It was our first time visiting Russia and also Murmansk. We chose to spend a night at Aurora Village in Murmansk because it would have been the perfect spot to see the aurora while we were in a warm and wonderful igloo. The staff picked us up in front of the entrance by off-road vehicle because the bus couldn’t go that way. The staff helped us with our luggage and took us to the village. The igloo was so splendid! It was clean and comfortable. The staff gave rides on snowmobile for almost everyone in our group. Tea and kettle were provided. Also dinner, there were grilled chicken, some veggie like cucumbers and tomatoes, and Champagne! Breakfast was provided too. We had an amazing moment staying at the Aurora village. The place was so beautiful and cozy. The staff there was helpful Even though we did not have a chance to see the aurora, there were still other impressing things like the stunning view of sunrise in the morning. We still think that we made the right decision to visit there in Murmansk. Many thanks to our tour guide, Dima from Visitmurmansk and staff at the Aurora Village. PS. Bring some more snacks, meal, and drink on your own would be perfect!!…

Aurora Village is absolutely amazing! I had seen the most amazing aurora there. The igloo itself is very special, there are only 6 of them so the place won't get too busy. You can stay inside the warm and cozy igloo and go outside when you see the northern light. The staff will also knock on your door when northern light is visible. I spent one night there and see the northern light many times. If you are lucky like me, you can just lie in bed and see the aurora from inside, definitely one of the best way to view aurora! It's a great place to see northern light as there is not much light pollution. It's only 40mins to 1 hour drive from Murmansk, worth visiting if you are in the area!

I enjoyed staying in Aurora village in October 2018. Hotel is quite unique in Russia I have never stayed in any place similar to this. I came to Aurora village in the evening, had dinner (you have to bring some dishes for dinner & breakfast from a supermarket in Murmansk OR bring meat the staff will bake it on open fire, for you), and spent 1 night. The plague is very cosy and nice inside, it has all facilities. It's also heated by a furnace. Imagine being in the country-side, the peace of this place, live fire...quiet dinner ... the sky full of stars and Aurora! Very impressive! It was a great experience. I also noticed the guests extend their stay for couple of nights as they like this place.

Last weekend I spent one night in this amazing place with my 11 friends. We booked 3 igloos for 4 people each. Since we were not sure whether we can buy something there or not, we bought food and drinks in Murmansk and headed to the Aurora village. As soon as we got there, we realised that it was a good choice buying everything, because the location is in the middle of nowhere, 500m away from the locals, but without any shop. It is amazingly quiet and the air is so fresh. The staff welcomed us and showed us in which igloos we are spending our night and then...we entered into the igloo and it was so cozy, warm, smelled so good like wood! It was love at the first sight! The interior was lovingly equipped with fluffy blankets, an oven and a table with chairs. Everything was super clean from the floor, to the bed sheets, to the toilet and shower. After ten minutes the staff provided us with some hot water for our teas and after another 20 minutes they gave us a bottle of champagne and some chocolate! Lovely! After having dinner and drinks together we fell into our beds and slept wonderfully good! It was an amazing experience, even though we couldn't see the northern lights that clear due to the cloudy sky. But due to the fact that it is located in the middle of nowhere, you could see the aurora perfectly with good weather and aurora conditions. Thanks, definitely coming back!…

Our group of 4 stayed here for 2 nights in February 2018. A perfect place to get away from the light of the city and of course perfect place to see Aurora . Staffs are very friendly and helpful but if you don't speak Russian , I would recommend you to have google translate with you to communicate better with the staff and they are very kind and always be there 24 hours to assist you. The place is equipped with wifi , however the signal is not very stable but it's a good place if you really want to have an isolate space to yourself , friends and your love ones. The place is small and very cozy , I love the decoration and the interior of the place , however , if they could improve the heater system during the winter it would be awesome as it was pretty cold inside. Hot shower in the bathroom was working perfectly fine. The owner of the village, Mr. Oleg has also the tour company . Very reliable and he himself is very helpful and responded to my email very promptly . The tour programs are very flexible depending on your availability. Check out visitmurmansk.info for more detail. This Aurora Village in Murmansk is still pretty new to the market and the price to stay is very affordable compare to other countries in Scandinavia . I would love to go back again one day. …
