Northern Lights Village Saariselkä

📍 Rovaniementie 3222E, Saariselkä, Inari
★★★★ 9.3 (63 reviews)

"This was our first trip to Finland and our first time staying in a glass igloo, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The only inconvenience was that we couldn't drive directly to our room; all cars had to be parked in a central lot. If you have a lot of luggage, be prepared for a bit of a trek as you'll have to pull it all the way to your room. If you have too much luggage and your room is far, the front desk does offer sleds to help you push it along. 😂 But it's understandable, as there are many people walking around the property, and with all the glass igloos, cars driving around would definitely compromise privacy and create light pollution. Our room type didn't look very big, but it actually had a separate sofa area for relaxing, and there was plenty of space on both sides of the bed. We were able to open up three large suitcases with room to spare. Most importantly, there were many power outlets in the room, which was incredibly convenient. The food provided was also quite good, with very fresh vegetables. We had satisfying dinners and breakfasts, and there were many choices for tea, coffee, and desserts. For those who enjoy alcohol, you can purchase it at the bar at your own expense. The overall service was excellent. The hotel offers many activities for an additional cost, so you can easily fill your days and then rest up to chase the Northern Lights at night. The hotel also provides a free Aurora borealis notification app (which usually costs money) that was very accurate. Basically, as soon as we received a notification, we could get ready and see the Northern Lights. Whether striking various poses in our room or walking around the hotel grounds, we saw beautiful auroras. This trip to Finland, staying in the glass igloo, truly made our dreams come true and completed our journey."

"I stayed at the Holiday Club cottage facility. It was difficult to find at first, as the buildings were all similar. However, the facilities on the premises were listed on Google Maps, so I was able to find it by following the map. I booked this hotel because it was convenient, as express buses depart and arrive at the Holiday Club. It also had a sauna, a unique feature of Finland, which I enjoyed while waiting for the Northern Lights. I cooked my own meals during my stay, and there was a supermarket nearby for easy grocery and alcohol purchases. There were no condiments or seasonings, so buying them was a hassle. It would have been nice if there was a service that allowed me to use the condiments left by previous guests, even if I didn't leave them in my room, as it would be a waste if my stay was short. I was amazed to see the Northern Lights around 3:00 AM, just a three-minute walk away."

"We are from the United States and traveling across Finland in Summer of 26. We wanted to experience Lapland and were defaulting to Rovaniemi but the touristy spin on every hotel and experience was a turn off and thankfully we found Ivalo, and GALDU ! I don’t leave reviews but I had to do it ! I was a bit hesitant to book at Galdu given that it was a brand new hotel and not part of any chain. The reviews were minimum but we bit the bullet based on Gemma Bowes’s and T& L review. In addition it being a Small Luxury Hotel property really helped and it was the best decision of our trip. I will let the travel journalists do a root canal on the property but here is what a half baked global traveler experienced and enjoyed. Location : Galdu is in the middle of nowhere but accessible from everywhere. There is a direct Finnair flight from Helsinki to IVL and the big towns are a few miles away. Fun fact we drove to the Finnish Russian border via a gorgeous road and the round trip with stops was about 3 hrs !! The region is a hidden treasure !! Hotel Design and Character : I will leave the in and outs of the hotel’s design to the professionals but for us the hotel’s architecture, the earthy tones and minimalist interiors were luxurious and classy. More importantly the attention the detail was top notch. There were no half done tile or crooked fixture. The construction was top notch with high quality materials, fittings and fixtures. No short cuts !!! And free tip… no room has a bad view !! In room amenities: No big box or cheap stuff. Top quality personal products , bedding is heaven. Just pick up the bed throw and you know by the weight and density that it is legit! SPA : the crowning jewel of course. Every sauna is unique and whilst I thought that the different type of heating was a gimmick … but I was wrong. Again the quality of the build out was solid ….10/10 on cleanliness and the quality of lotions, salts and perfumes ! The spa and dipping pools were thoughtfully designed and immaculate. The spa effortlessly blends into the nature to the extent that we were in the hot tub and a herd of reindeers were maybe 10 feet from us grazing !! Food: absolutely delicious. We did their tasting menu, hamburgers and daily breakfast. Sometimes it is hard who to attribute the effort of a good meal to.. quality of the ingredients or the chef? The hotel however balanced both and the outcome was damn delicious. The buffet thankfully was not a conveyor belt but a personalized tray with many options !! If there are any downsides then I would say … no TV in room no traditional call by phone . Just one restaurant and It is not a traditional resort with poolside service nor is it a typical star hotel. It is a property to slow you down and help you connect with nature and yourself with design , luxury and service that is not in your face. Everything just blends in. The tagline said that only the fortunate find their way to Galdu and I thought it was a smar"

"The location of the hotel is very good. It is very close to the bus station and outdoor activity center. The room is warm and the hotel staff is very friendly. The hotel has a free sauna and gym. The room is a bit old and the bathroom is a bit trendy, but it is within the acceptable range. ,great"

"This is the only hotel that I found unhygienic during my 2-week trip to Northern Europe. The bed smells, there is no Wi-Fi in the room, you have to go to the lobby, which is far from the room, and there is a 24-hour bar, which is a bit noisy."

Aurora Village Ivalo ★★★★
"The glass house was amazing; my friend got up in the middle of the night to see the aurora borealis! We arrived at night, and the road signs weren't very clear. They provide breakfast, lunch, or a choice of dinner. I highly recommend taking a walk around the area! On the other side of the Forest Path, past the sauna, walk down to the river; there's a small cabin where you can start a fire!"

Northern Lights Village Saariselkä ★★★★
"beautiful place to stay at. was amazing being able to see the northern lights from the comfort of a warm bed. stayed half board, breakfast and dinner were buffet style. breakfast was mid, dinner was great (not a lot of variety but each dish was done well). activities were available to do during the day as well, we had a great time husky sledding. a little expensive but that’s just the price of things in finland xD"

"It was a very clean and comfortable stay. I also really liked the sauna in the room, which I used many times during my stay. The hotel is also close to supermarkets and souvenir shops, and the bus stop is right in front, making it a very convenient location."

"We visited with my fiancè and my mum for her 80th birthday. The staff looked after us so well from organising trips to catering for myself and my fiancè who are vegan. The food was incredible- big selection at breakfast and possibly the best granola and vegan pancakes I have tasted! Trips that I would recommend are the cross country skiing lesson with Marti- so much fun and a really knowledgeable instructor who was very kind and jolly. Also the huskies; the dogs were so well looked after and clearly enjoyed the event. I am big on animal welfare and I was cautious about events that mix animals and tourism but I was blown away with how happy the dogs were and cared for they are by the staff who love them. The Spa opens at 4pm each day and we loved going to the sauna and then to the cold plunge and back to the sauna again. We felt so relaxed after. Seeing the northern lights from the hotel whilst sipping champagne in the spa lobby was the absolute dream. I can not rate this hotel, experience and holiday enough. Thank you to all the staff at Galdu- we hope to someday return!"
