Good hotel ❤️

Great experience stay with this village. Nice for couples and family. Highly recommended 👍👍

Aurora Village Ivalo was one of our favorite glass igloos on our giant road trip around all of Finland, Sweden and Norway. The staff and the service are incredible, the glass igloos were so beautiful and actually felt like they had privacy, the food at the restaurant was fantastic. We LOVED all of the excursions we ended up going on - from making Finnish pancakes, to snowmobiling, to ice karting (so fun!) to doing an Aurora Hunt by car, we'd recommend them all. It was particularly nice for the aurora hunt, the guides ACTUALLY tried to find good northern lights for you unlike some of the other tours we've done in Rovaniemi for example. If you're brave, the lakeside sauna was super fun too. We will definitely be coming back again one day! Thanks for an incredible stay.

We had four nights at the Aurora Village. The glass roofed cabins were amazing. Watching the northern lights from bed. The staff could not have been more helpful and professional. We did the dog sledding, reindeer sleigh, ice go karting, reindeer feeding and the jacuzzi. It could have been on another planet. And to top it off the meals were excellent. We also saw the lights two of the four nights. Could not recommend highly enough. Thank you.

I stayed in Aurora Village with my partner for 5 nights at the beginning of February and can say that it well and truly exceeded our expectations! Staff: Every single staff member we met was so friendly and helpful, from the reception team to the restaurant staff and of course the guides who run the tours and activities. All of the guides were really knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy telling stories about the area, the northern lights etc. which was great. Food: The food was incredible! Breakfast and dinner are included in the room rate - the dinner is 3 courses and the menu changes each night. I am a bit of a fussy eater but honestly there wasn't a single dish I didn't enjoy. The menu was so varied and they seemed to cater for dietary requirements well. Accommodation: The glass igloo was perfect - so cosy and comfortable. The view from the bed is magical and we loved laying there watching the stars (and luckily the aurora on one night too!) The heated floor was a nice touch so you could warm up quickly after being out in the cold (it reached -29 degrees during our stay). There are two pairs of snowshoes provided with each igloo and the hotel also provides thick overalls which are very warm for the activities. Activities: As we stayed for 5 nights we pre-booked quite a few activities. The snowmobiling and ice karting were excellent fun! Cross country skiing was a great experience as I have never tried skiing before - beautiful scenery too. The wood barrel sauna with ice swimming was awesome! We loved the evening snowshoe hike- our guide even built a fire on the frozen lake and we all huddled around toasting marshmallows and cinnamon buns. The reindeer feeding was so cute and the husky sledding (4hrs) was amazing! I would recommend all of these activities! We also hired the fatbikes when we had some free time and used the free sleds. We booked onto an aurora hunt by car tour at the last minute and luckily there was availability, but I would recommend booking activities in advance if you can just in case. We paid around 10 euros for the aurora alerts app and I would recommend doing this - the only issue was that the WiFi in our room wasn't the best so we did end up missing an alert - if you can connect to mobile data instead that would be a better way to guarantee a connection. Overall we had the most incredible experience at Aurora Village and have recommended to all of our friends and family. We would love to return in the future!
