Ranua Resort Arctic Igloos

The glass igloos were incredible. The staff was very friendly and helpful arranging my shuttles to the zoo and bus station. I was sad to leave, I fell in love with the igloo and could live there forever. I highly recommend this experience.

This stay was amazing! One of the best experiences I’ve had in a very long time. The staff is really helpful and kind. The food is not to be missed. Breakfast buffet is just right to get your day going and the full dinner option was phenomenal. I’d arrive at my chosen time and my table was waiting each night. Every course was carefully prepared and incredibly tasty. The view from my igloo was better than I imagined. Right beside the frozen lake. The igloo had everything I could possibly want including a sauna which I used every night. I’m wasn’t lucky with the weather and didn’t get to see the lights at night. I see that as an invitation to return again perhaps a little earlier in the year.

Room was decent. Unable to fully close windows. Breakfast was included from 8-10, afterwards nothing available untill 15:00-18:00. Then dinner only from 18:00 to 21:00. Meals were acceptable.

The property views were gorgeous. The staff was very friendly & accommodating.

The start to finish. Probably they should inform their customer on how to use the heating system properly. Bed was nice. Ambient was superb.

This place was absolutely stunning!

Do not prebook activities and dinners with this hotel.

The disappointing reality does not compare with what is portrayed on the Ranua Arctic Igloos website. There is no transfer of luggage available from the reception office to the igloos/cabins. Guests have to carry or wheel or sled their luggage through snow, ice, mud, depending on weather conditions. The only attraction that is relatively close to the facility is the wildlife park, but other activities are further away, requiring transportation costs. If there is insufficient snow, or conditions are too icy, all snow-dependent activities (dog sledding, reindeer rides, horse riding, snowmobiling) are unavailable leaving nothing to do in the area except visit the wildlife park. Better to find accommodation in Rovaniemi to be closer to more activities and tour providers that are available there, as well as the many restaurants in the city center. Food selection was very limited and poor quality considering the hotel’s self-claimed rating. In summary, a very expensive and disappointing experience.

Probably a magical experience in the winter or for couples, but otherwise not much to do nearby in the summer. The Ranua Wildlife Park is wonderful; highly recommend

Loved the Resort Arctic Igloos. We stayed for 2 nights and can't see Aurora due to the weather too cloudy. The resort doesnt provide slippers ! The only setback Is the location. No buses, free shuttle service to near by mini market. Transportation need to pay ! Next time should rent a car for more convenient .

Expected a little more isolation of igloos from each other for the price. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was just ok, the fish was not fresh at all.

Very cute cabin with all amenities you need. WiFi is good. We are family of 4 ( 2 kids 12 and 5) Extra beds are small even for the kids. We have to check in at Holiday village Gulo Gulo at Ranua zoo before driving to the Igloo which is about 5 mins away.( the instructions was sent to us earlier so no confusion) . The staff are very nice and helpful.

The glass igloo concept very nice.

If you want to escape from the real world then this is the place to be. No one bothers you if you don’t want to be bothered. If compact and bijou but has pretty much anything you could possibly need.

The glass igloos are one of the best things I've experienced do far, quite unique idea and great for couples or families.

Absolutely amazing! Very clean, relaxing and great breakfast. The front desk were helpful and helped us sort trips and future hotels! Once in a lifetime experience. We will 100% be going back.

Awesome 270 degree view of the frozen lake. Unforgettable experience at the igloos! Absolutely luxurious. Highly recommend to stay at least 2 nights to properly experience the igloos. Staff were very helpful and intelligent. 10/10 would come again in future!

The igloo was very clean the staff was very nice really good experience for my wife’s 50th birthday but right at the end it was ruined by the transfer was the wrong time resulting in us having to pay for two nights at another hotel and I flight home. Really disappointing

Loved the glass igloo /sauna on the river. Nice breakfast and nice staff

Very Good facing and design . However Glass Heater is not working and condensation cover the glass . Cannot see the sky clearly
