Every part of this stay at Star Arctic was truly amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful, including the driver to/from the airport who told us stories about the Auroras and life as a reindeer herder. The activities were so much fun, huskies were a highlight of the trip. In our last evening, the Northern Lights made a spectacular show and we were greeted with champagne on our return to the room as a special treat on our 25th anniversary. Truly, a once in a lifetime experience!

This place was amazing from the moment we arrived. Staff were all so lovely and helpful. The accommodation was clean and beds were really comfortable. Views were spectacular and the excursions were all excellent.

The staff was very nice and welcoming. The room and accommodation were very clean. We stayed in an aurora cabin and it was perfect to see the northern lights!

We stayed in a glass igloo at Star Arctic Hotel, and the location is absolutely fantastic. The hotel is situated high up on the mountain, making it a great spot for viewing the Northern Lights. Although the northern lights activity level wasn’t very strong during our stay, we still really enjoyed the experience and the unique setting. The glass igloo was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The hotel overall felt cosy and relaxing, and the reception staff were especially helpful and friendly, which made our stay even more pleasant. One small issue we encountered was with the roof heating system used to melt snow. When it was left on for a long time, we noticed some water dripping from the ceiling. While it didn’t ruin our stay, it’s something the hotel could look into improving. Overall, it was a memorable stay in a beautiful location, and we would still recommend Star Arctic Hotel to anyone looking for a unique Arctic experience in Saariselkä.

We did not get to go to this resort because I had to fly back home and be admitted into the hospital due to a chronic terminal illness. I asked if they could kindly give us a credit if we are able to return next year to use at the resort and they said no. I was not asking for a refund or anything like that. Just a credit to use what we’d already paid for if we are able to return next. I would think they would show Someone with this level of serious life threatening illness a little compassion.

Absolutely five star job by the entire staff. Not only was the stay perfect. The breakfast was amazing and the excursions were incredible. I can’t recommend this highly enough.

beautiful hotel

Such a great view, we were able to see the northern lights all time while we were staying

The unit and the surrounding are very beautiful!

Great location at a great viewing point for the Northern Lights. Good access to Saariselka ski resort & toboggan run. Food is sub-par, so we ended up going to the village.

The hotel is in a fantastic location and the glass rooms are done really well. We were unlucky to not see the northern lights but we still had a great time.

This is a premium hotel, located atop a hill with amazing views, offering accommodations and a myriad of activities for both couples and families. We had a room with sauna which was well worth it after a cold day full of activities. We area arranged 6 activities via the hotel. Our favorites were day and evening snowmobiling, huskies and snowshoing. There also is a ski slop and tobogganing up hill from the hotel. Take advantage of those. Last but not last, the staff were very attentive, friendly, and accommodating.

北欧のオーロラ観光を目的に宿泊しました。スキー場が近く見晴らしの良い丘の上にあるコテージ型のホテルで、あたり一帯の雪原を臨める最高の眺望でした！ご飯も美味しく、寒さも感じないしっかりと温度調整された部屋で、室内のライティングも最高でした。一点だけリクエストをあげるとすれば、水回りのシャワーとトイレの部屋が共用で、シャワーで床が濡れてトイレにも影響してしまうことかなと思います。ただ、トイレとシャワーのある部屋（バスルーム）は、床暖房が効いており嫌な感じはなかったです。 オーロラ観測については、徒歩30秒でスキー場の丘上まで行くことができ、オーロラ観測には困ることはないと思います。私たちの場合、たまたま太陽フレアが活発なタイミングと重なり、夜空全体に光のカーテンが降りてくるような幻想的な体験をすることが出来ました！ 言語面では、英語の聞き取りは必須で、こちらが話す分には、単語レベルでもスタッフがしっかり意図を読みとって対応してくれる感じでした。 とにかく、静かで最高の景色とオーロラ体験を目的とされる方にはオススメできるホテルだと思います。

Such a great stay!

Stayed here twice already and will be back again! Service, restaurant, location and activities are at the top!!!

The hotel is very well designed (We saw perfect northern light on the 2nd night). Really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the facilities, friendly and efficient staff, excellently organised activities.

Dinner options could have been a little better. All else was great at the property....5 stars!!!

We arrived during an extreme weather warning. The snowplough was able to support us to get into the car park. When we arrived, we've had a long journey and the receptionist was absolutely wonderful and offered to carry our bags to our cabin. We ate in the restaurant and it was the best meal I've ever eaten in my life. The service was next to Nunn, the waitress and waiter was so attentive And it really made us feel the ease given that we've had a very tricky drive from Levi. The location was absolutely beautiful and was magical. The cabin was kept perfectly warm for when we arrived, and the quality of everything in the cabin was beautiful. We had slippers, fluffy towels, toothbrushes kits . The views were stunning. Sadly, we never got to see the Northern Lights but still sleeping under snowy sky and waking up to Winter Wonderland was magical. The whole experience felt like luxury and after what I can only describe as a terrifying drive it was lovely to be met with such wonderful service and such comfort. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding and the quality of food was out of this world. There was none alcoholic sparkling wine on the breakfast bar to be able to have for breakfast the most amazing smoked salmon and there was such a variety, I couldn't fault the hotel in any area. My partner, however, would tell you that the breakfast needed baked beans. However, this in Norway impacted how lovely our day was Lori, ferried driver in the snow from the uk

Lovely cabins.

An amazing Hotel in a great set in a great position with great trips organised.
