The cabin was spacious and clean. The furnishings were good, and the cooling aand heating worked well. The unit was good but entirely too overpriced. The heater made a weird noise all night, the tablet to cominucate with the front desk did not hold a charge and the shower water leaked all over the bathroom floor. Our stay included breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was nice the forst day, but the second day the hotel did not have enough staff to accomodate for the amount of people at the hotel. They ran out of plates, coffee cups, water, and food items and were unable to replace them in a timely fashion. The property is a walking distance from santas village which was nice.

The Santa Igloo with hot tub was phenomenal for viewing the northern lights at night and enjoying the natural surroundings during the day. Excellent location and awesome customer service.

Cosy stay at Igloo
Very clean and well-structured Igloo It feels great to look at the sky while sleeping You can get to witness northern lights from the comfort of your cosy bed Proximity to the airport and Santa's village Breakfast and Dinner main course are included in the booking price. Drawbacks: Being a remote location, there are few restaurants nearby. The free main course portions were relatively small The restaurant was pricey compared to the portions During the day it got too bright for a toddler to sleep in the afternoon. There should be some mechanisms to cover the igloo to control the light during the day.

Property was brilliant. Staff were professional and helpful at all times. My husband was celebrating a very special birthday and the hotel went out of their way to help make it special. The igloo itself felt special and we were pleased to have had the experience. Restaurant food and breakfast buffet were really good-especially the dinners were fabulous! We had our 5 year old with us and SCV was easily walkable for us plus sledges are provided if needed

Disappointing, way too small for families.
This property has a campground-esque feel, with rows of igloos dotted throughout. It is one of the farthest properties from the central part of Santa Claus Village, about a 5-10 min walk to the action. We checked in that morning and they said they would call us when the room was ready. We came back at 3pm and found our luggage had been delivered to our room but they never called us, so the check-in experience was a disappointment. We are a family of four (two kids ages 8 and 11) and the four person igloo is very small. There is a little entry way for your boots and clothes, no common space, a nice master bedroom in the actual igloo part, but the second room with two twin beds literally fills the entire room, wall to wall, so you have to get on and off at the foot of the bed. They also warn you the igloo only has a water tank for 20 mins of shower time, so you’ll need to be quick with four people before it goes cold. Breakfast buffet was the most disappointing of the three hotels we stayed at in Finland. However, ironically, dinner in their restaurant was very good and probably the best we had. To be fair, the igloo concept is super cute, but just wasn’t practical for us. We also learned the odds of actually being in your igloo, laying cozily in bed, and seeing the northern lights is probably 2%, because you generally have to drive out late at night to an open nature area with limited light pollution.
Second bedroom in igloo.
We used sleds to pull our luggage, which worked well and the kids loved it.

Green Lady in Rovaniemi
We were initially dreading for the worst as the room heating wasn’t working and it was -25C outside. Thankfully staff here really did try and make it comfortable for us until the fuse was eventually replaced. Jani in particular was really good 👍 We were very fortunate to have witnessed the Green Lady so all’s well that ends well.

Overpriced for what it was. The bed was broken, clunked when you sat on it. Barely a chair to sit on in the room. For the cost of the place a coffee machine in the room would have been good. Dreadfully rude attendant at dinner, small portions, confusion at breakfast as no one there to greet you. Rude staff when asked why the room was so cold- poor communication and talked over the top of me. I don’t think I would recommend this place to anyone.

We had an amazing time at Santa's igloos. the staff were all really friendly and helpful. the igloo itself was really cute and the underfloor heating useful for getting wet clothing dry really quickly. I didnt realise but we had half board food which was a godsend as the food is very expensive. The breakfast buffet was varied and the dinner selection whilst limited was yummy and all lactose and gluten free. the northern lights alarm was really useful - we got to see them twice during our stay! the mini sledges to help get the children around were helpful. my only criticism was there isnt much storage in the rooms
