Arctic Guesthouse & Igloos

Nice view and design

I’ve booked the regular single room and not Igloos but I’ll recommend anyone in doubt of booking this guesthouse, because the view and the environment is so incredibly beautiful, though it’s a pity that the night I stayed is hazy and cannot see arctic light, but the environment and atmosphere is amazing! So don’t hesitate if you’re still in doubt, it’s to book👍

One of the most beautiful place I have ever been to! Lovely people, good food and stunning views. Thank you!

Spacieuse, propre et équipement nécessaire

Personnel pas accueillant, nous remettent nos clés sans explications du fonctionnement de l’igloo (comment mettre l’eau, les lumières, etc). On a dû trouver par nous même. Une fois l’eau mise, inondation sous l’évier, trempant tous nos bagages. Ne vaut absolument pas le prix. Déjeuner ok. Quand on va se renseigner, nous ignore totalement, ne se lève même pas pour voir ce que j’ai besoin. J’ai chercher la douche commune pendant 30 min car on me faisait juste un signe vers où aller mais m’ont pas expliquer que c’était avec le sauna et douche pas indiquer. Très décevant mais hutte mignonne.

Ihan mukava majatalo. Kuuma ilma, niin ilmastointi olisi tehnyt reissusta vielä onnostuneemman. Majoitukseen kuului tunnin saunavuoro❤️.

Yövyimme igluissa kesäaikaan ja pääsimme ajelemaan järvelle iglumme kanssa. Matka sujui mukavasti ja saimme ajelulle hyvän ohjeistuksen. Oli mukavaa päästä lämmittämään rantasaunaa, johon talon isäntä lainasi ystävällisesti sytytystarvikkeitaan. Aamiainen oli niukka, mutta täyttävä. Munat oli keitetty hyvin ja majoituksesta pystyi ostamaan hiukan hintavia ruoka-annoksia. Majoitukseen tullessamme henkilökunta ei tiennyt, missä iglumme avain oli, mutta sijainti kuitenkin selvisi jonkin ajan jälkeen. Saimme vuokrata kalastusvälineitä, joka oli mukava lisä. Majoituksessa oli ilmeisesti kesätöissä nuoria, joista osa ei edes tervehtinyt.

We stayed in the igloos and cooked and ate meals both in the igloo and also dinner in the restaurant. 1. Staff were amazing and lovely 2. Food and wine options for dinner and the cosy restaurant was delightful and enjoyable 3. We also cooked and ate in our igloo and the kitchen provided all the kitchen items we needed and were happy for us to drop things off to be cleaned 4. I found the igloos to be surprisingly spacious with lots of spots to store things 5. Small compostable toilet was fine for evening use and we didn’t mind heading up to the main guesthouse for showers and to use bathrooms 6. The bathrooms are a little dated but clean and functional 7. People mentioned in past reviews about the big step to the deck of the igloo. However you don’t need to do the big step as you can walk around a different paths Overall we had a totally amazing experience and I could have stayed longer

Lovely staff and very helpful

Felaktiga uppgifter vid bokning. Rummen idåligt skick. Sängarna gick att sova i men inte mer. Ingen tillgång till vatten på rummen som stt handfat. Endast en sänglampa i vsrje rum. Kylskåp vid element som gjorde att det gick igång hela tiden. Trasiga gardinstänger. Trasig lampupphängning.

Very value for money and I like that the igloo is in the river/sea? So it’s quite pretty!!

Beautiful

Vi boede i deres iglo, det var utroligt smukt! Super god service!

If you’re looking for a family run business, with beautiful lake surroundings, look no further!! The staff is kind and very helpful. The owner went out of his way to get my room ready as I was 3h early for check in! You do need a car as the transportation is very limited (1 bus a day on the weekend 😅). Unfortunately the snow melted by the time I arrived, as it’s early in the season, but I did get to see a stunning Aurora dancing over me just on the front yard: once in a lifetime experience that I’ll never forget 💕. I’ll definitely come back….with a car 😂. Kiitos 💕💕💕

Triste. Difícil de chegar. Sem informações. Sem internet, agia não funcionava. Comunicação quarto recepção não existe. Recepção amadora para um valor de estadia de hotel 4/5 estrelas. Vc vai num lugar desses para aurora boreal e eles não estão nem aí. Nota zero para o turismo

I was expecting the location to be further away from town, but it was right next to the road. There is not much around for food options and tours, you have to go through them. I wish the dog sledding was more than just around the lake. The snowmobiling was awesome. The showers need a big update.

Ainut miinus siitä, että muiden majoittujien äänet kuuluivat yöaikaan käytävältä huoneeseen.

Not value for money at all Service from hanah was excellent but amenities like bath room are non existent till you ask for it they are all communal which is big no no Same breakfast every day which is no

Nous avons passé la dernière nuit de notre séjour à Rovaniemi dans cet hôtel igloo. Le concept est génial. Cependant un peu petit et les ecoWC n’est pas une bonne idée (trop trop petit …). Je recommande tout de même ! Parfait pour couple. Nous avons même eu de la chance car le ciel était dégagé nous avons pu observer des aurores boréales.

Worst experience ever. We decided to stay two nights in the glass iglo. There is no shower in the iglo, no fridge (both was listed in the description). We only have one eco toilet (meaning no water toilet) and we need to go inside the mainbuilding (notice it is minus 30 degrees outside). There is only one toilet downstairs and yesterday there was no toilet paper for the whole evening and it smelled like urine. The stove was broken, the water tank was not filled, the blanket cover beneath the bed was dirty. Furthermore, the breakfast times are not really tourist friendly. Breakfast starts at 8am. The activities mostly start around 9 in Rovaniemi. You have to drive around 1 - 1 1/2 hours when its snowing... so good luck. Yes, they are friendly sometimes and provide earlier breakfast, but not everything is ready by them. Meaning you pay 395€ for a very very simple Breakfast. Now, the windows are full of ice, so we are not able to get a view of the northern lights. When we asked the staff. They came, punched against the ice and then said: sorry, we cannot do anything. Never again! I am so furious. This is not worth the money at all.
