Everything was great, the glass igloo, the food in the restaurant, and the staff!!! We mentioned that we had to leave early for our flight and will not be able to eat breakfast. When we came back to our igloo after a long day full of adventures we were pleasantly surprised to find a bag with sandwiches, fruit, juice and protein bars left for us! An outstanding customer service! Thank you for your hospitality ♥️

Everything was clean and neat, the igloo is unique and fantastic,but there were no slippers, no split shampoo and body wash and most importantly there was not any safe box, and it produced trouble when we decided to go for snow activity we should take all passport , money , etc.Breakfacst was good and multi items. Staffs were very friendly. The chack in was too late , 4 pm for the hotel with such high prices and that time there was almost night.

We spent two nights at Santa Aurora in an Igloo. The igloo was cute, warm and the view was spectacular as expected. Unfortunately their was no snow when we went, but that‘s not the Hotels fault ;) Either way we didn‘t expect it to be this quite, if you come before december be prepared that there are no shops and only 1-2 restaurants in the area, so you better rent a car in advance. The breakfast was nice and everyone was friendly, would come back to sleep in a snowy Igloo :)

Great food/service. Poor wifi/too bright 4 Aurora

The food was surprisingly excellent, particularly the breakfast buffet. Dinner was also great. We had the salmon soup, salmon on beet risotto and the deer sirloin. All delicious. Unfortunately, although there were Northern Lights the night we were there, they were very hard to see because there is so much extra lighting around the hotel. Like incredibly bright parking lot lighting everywhere. You need to leave the hotel and go onto the nearby cross country ski trails. Also, the wifi was so bad we almost missed all the aurora app alerts. So, it was frustrating to have to wake up at 3 am, try to find a wifi signal and check the alerts. We couldn't confirm anything through our windows because of all the lights.

Glass Igloos and surrounding were amazing! Nice location with Ski resorts, restaurants and bus stops nearby. A bit of walk for Supermarket. Igloos have all necessary stuff with proper heating. Lots of Finnish varieties in Breakfast. It’s based in Luosto which is a quiet place with wilderness unlike other crowded places which is a huge plus. Overall enjoyable experience and highly recommended!

I asked how to get our luggage to our room. They said the sleds. All sleds were broken and when I asked "well just carry them up." The room was not very clean. It was really small for the three of us so luggage had to go under the beds. I found a can of hairspray, not mine and other items. The room was not that clean. When I took it to the front desk on our day of check out the clerk looked like she was going to hid it.

Stayed 3 nights but room/towels/bedding were not refreshed - room was generally clean otherwise. Bed not comfortable but the room was warm and cosy. The hotel was well located as it was central and functional for excursions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Main restaurant ok but found better dining externally.

A nice experience but definitely not worth the exorbitant price, particularly considering the basic nature of the property and amenities. What isn’t shown in the advertising photos is the proximity to other igloos and to the road. Due to this there is plenty of unnatural light which obviously impacts the stargazing/aurora experience. We wouldn’t return
