Fixtures were all quite dodgy. Our curtain rail came off the wall and electrical outlets and extension plugs were a bit scary! Some of the single beds had a narrower base than mattress making it awkward to sleep on for my roommates. The restaurant closed very early, 7.30pm and as there's not much else around that was not great.

We liked the free sauna and found it easy to prebook a time slot. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Shared toilets and showers were quite handy except got very steamy and no ventilating. Rooms were really warm. Liked having a fridge in our room.

The bed was really small (narrow).

All was very accessible: the place itself, the room, the restaurant. Comfort and up-to-dateness were just under the limit, but the service was friendly and the room just comfy enough for one night's stay.

Finland local sauna requires reinovation. Second Sauna is OK

Might be excellent option when you lucky enough to see Aurora lights.. Most of the time there is clouds , so only view through the windows is to the frozen lake . I am not recommend this igloos to those traveling with a kids. Igloos are too small, and toilet hasn’t have a door , only curtain, we have used a toilet located in a main building

Igloo was a little too small to have 3rd child sleeping on floor.

Beautiful location and welcoming accommodation

Lighting was dark, steps were a bit dangerous, bathrooms needed to be cleaned more often, maybe another set of towels for week stay.

This is a wonderful old time family run business. Staff was very helpful!! Their rates were very good but your sharing a bathroom and what comes with staying at an old well used property. Everything was clean and the breakfast delicious. Great food here but we ran out of options by the end of the week.

We enjoyed our short time stay in this Guesthouse very much and luckily, we could also see Northern Lights from our window in the main building. We most enjoyed the Husky Safari because the starting point was right next to the Guesthouse and the route offered a beautiful view of the landscape. We were also allowed to take photos with all the cute Huskies and it was a very special and beautiful experience. The owners take really good care of them too and that is why we really want to recommend this safari.

We were given an igloo with a limited view, even though there were free igloos available and there was no price difference when I booked the accommodation (not to mention that the igloos are mobile).

The AuroraHut-igloo itself and the wood-fired lakeside sauna were fantastic. Considering the touristic location and the time of year, I think the offer was decent as it included the stay in the glass igloo, breakfast and free traditional sauna.

Roveneimi is a small airport. You take a taxi to the central bus station (about 25 euro). Then a bus to Ranua (18 euro - you buy a ticket on the bus, and it takes about an hour). Besides the zoo, there's not much to see in Ranua. I would suggest asking staff about a local tour (I went moose tracking in the swamps and then to see the huskies). I'm sure there are many more activities in Winter/summer months (I went early October).

Staff went above and beyond. Johanna is such a wonderful person - incredibly helpful and kind, with excellent communication! The igloos were great - highly recommended experience. I didn't eat at the restaurant but there seemed to be a good-sized menu.

Special igloo by the lake

the bed could’ve used a little more padding. we could feel the springs underneath

the location and the cleanliness were excellent

I believe the only problem is don’t have shower inside the igloo.

They have a good breakfast, the igloo is small but it’s perfect to try to see northern lights.

The location was great, close to the bus from/to Rovaniemi. They have a restaurant where you can have drinks or dinner as they are not many things in the surrounding area.

It was a little difficult to drag our bags through the snow to the igloo. When we left they had cleared the snow more which was helpful. The bathrooms were not quite at the level you’d expect when paying this much for accommodation. They were not very clean and were run down. The shower was also cold on our first morning but it was 7am so it may not have heated up yet. Our second morning had a warm shower. When we checked in we didn’t get a warm welcome from the young person checking us in or clear instructions on things like where the showers were. We arrived at 7:30pm so this may have been due to it being busy. Everyone else was very kind!

Beautiful view and great activities. We asked to have the igloo at the front which meant we had an uninterrupted view which was amazing. We liked being able to eat at the guesthouse and the friendly staff. Complimentary breakfast was also a bonus. The children in the family that run this property were a lot of fun and very friendly. The staff were helpful and kind.

We were far too close to each other and the glass view looked straight into other igloos which was not as described. Apparently they were unable to move them and offered no compensation. This was the most expensive accommodation we had booked and it was a lot of money for one night to be looking at another igloo and having no privacy!

Loved the Igloo. Was a great experience.

Stayed in December 2022

for winter it’s a bit tough to drag the luggage to the igloo and we keep bump our head to the door as it’s not tall

glass igloo can be pretty cool in summer time, it is quite romantic for a couple to sleep in the igloo actually

Stayed in December 2022

Clean, comfortable and charming. perfect distance from the bus station and from the zoo. in fact much less crowded than Rovaniemi with all of the same winter activities. Ranua is a precious little hideaway and this place is perfect to explore the Finnish Lapland. The breakfast is great and the staff is very friendly and warm - always helpful even with small special requests. Do check out their cozy sauna - it is so comforting after a long day’s activities.

A lot of noise from neighboring rooms, including a drunk people who screamed in the night.

Igloo using rules could've been more clear before the booking or even after the booking. In some point the lock of the door stoped working. Expected some steps from the boat bridge to the Igloo.

Location was great. Igloo itself was amazing. Breakfast was just something to eat. Staff was friendly.

Very decent priced lodging. The place had a really nice traditional style restaurant with nice servings made from local meat and also very nice local brews. The place also seemed to have many interesting activities available, which I, as a business traveller didn't have time to try.
