La vue était incroyable le petit déjeuner aussi l’emplacement était super et nous avons eu la chance d’apercevoir 2 fois des aurores boréales depuis la chambre en 3 jours, vraiment un séjour magique
S’il y a une chose qui aurait pu être améliorer ce serait que la chambre soit faite tous les matins après cela ne nous a pas dérangé mais au vu du tarif je pense que cela aurait pu être fait

What a wonderful place. Calm and serene with beautiful surrounding forest. Waking up, seemed a bit like a fairy tail.
There are also winter activities accessible around, some even within walking distance.

La localisation loin de la foule de Rovaniemi.
L’hôtel était juste incroyable, chaque petite maison est indépendante et nous avions une vue exceptionnelle.
La literie est confortable.
Le personnel était agréable et à l’écoute, de bon conseils pour explorer les alentours.
Le petit déjeuner était copieux, petit bémol pour la diversité ayant passé 4 nuits dans l’établissement.
Nous avons également manger au restaurant de l’hôtel, très charmant mais un peu cher pour ce qui nous a été proposé.
Du matériel est à disposition pour des randonnées en raquettes.
La voiture est à privilégier pour se déplacer confortablement et profiter de Ruka.
Le choix au niveau du snacking est très restreint si vous souhaitez y manger le midi.
La salle de bain très mignonne mais atypique

Le restaurant de l’hôtel est très jolie , l’accueil était parfait mais c’était un menu imposer et pour le prix la qualité n’y est pas

It is unfair for this type of accommodation to be rated on a Booking.com review. Yes, the room is very small. But the whole experience is far beyond a typical hotel. The scenery, the view from the room, the stars, the northern lights, the tranquility. Just magical..
Everything was better than expected..

Beautiful location, very helpful and friendly staff. Delicious breakfast with great coffee. We were surprised with a nice chocolate bar on Christmas Day. Everything was magical!!
The igloos are really tiney. But still worth the stay!

La ubicación es de cuento, las cabinas están genial, espaciosas y lujosas. La cristalera es fantástica, vimos las auroras (que se dejaron ver) con mucha comodidad y calentitos. El desayuno es fantástico.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and we had the most perfect stay and experience. The cozy glass igloo and the snowy landscape is such a perfect combination. We enjoyed the quiet arctic night at the same time felt so close to nature. The staff were kind, helpful and amazing. We were also given welcome drinks. The breakfast is fantastic. Their little cafe/ restaurant is such a vibe. The price you pay for this stay is absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend.
The bed is very spacious but there’s not enough space if you bring too many luggages. We used the space in the toilet to keep baby’s stroller. The igloo can only be accessed by taxi from Ruka village so better have everything you need before coming to the igloo as there will be no shops around.

The view from the room was amazing
The wifi was almost nonexistent.

Amazing view of the snowy forest from the cabin. The location was even better than we imagined and you could see it all just laying on the enormous bed!
The bathroom was basic and there was no space at all in the room (you cannot keep 2 luggages open together). But the overall experience was great!
***The google maps location is wrong, beware!

- incredible location & beautiful views over the nature only (from Cabin Nr. 3 at least)
- very nice staff, very helpful, arranging and friendly
- great breakfast
2 things can be improved:
- a daily make-up of the room (not necessarily new bed sheets, but just a quick make-up) including the replacement of dirty dishes with clean ones would have been appreciated
- the window of the bathroom is useless (can't be opened and does not bring much light into the cabin) BUT it is a bit disappointing at night when your neighbors let the light on and you cannot enjoy a real dark night > maybe you could cover the windows at least in winter to avoid light disturbances

amazing location, lovely personnel, spectacular views, nature at its best
breakfast was poor, the meal at the restaurant was disappointing (3 dishes which had been prepared elsewhere and not freshly cooked upon ordering), no slippers, no amenities (except an one for all dispenser in the bathroom)

The views from the room ofcourse :-). A very good breakfast. Walking on the walking trail around the property with snowshoes and walking sticks provided by the hotel. Great staff.
Nothing really. Just that the room is small but can't complain about it. Everything else compensated the space :-)

stunning! right by a quiet lake with great views (and northern lights). enjoyed a peaceful campfire by the lake which was warm and lovely. the igloo was beautifully designed, clean and comfortable. staff were lovely. would stay again.
minor criticism but drones shouldn’t be allowed as it ruins the atmosphere.

We had one of the most private huts, the location is stunning and super quiet! The view was amazing and the whole hut is small but well designed, with the huge comfortable bed taking nearly half the space. It was stylish, clean, warm and truly relaxing. The breakfast was not excessive but of very high quality. On top of that they use mostly local resources ( friendly staff as well as food, bed linen, cutlery etc.) and green energy, which they shouldn't be shy about promoting :) As pets are welcome, too, we'll be back with our dog some day in summer.
Minor details, such as the fridge not being fully cold, and the bar having delicious drinks but very limited food options - as there are no cooking options in the hut, that would be a nice extra to be added in the future.

Location is good, 10 minutes drive from Ruka center. Very nice view from the window and nice personnel. Bed is huge and very comfy. Room was very warm. Pets accepted and easy to facilitate in the room.
Breakfast was not rich. No eggs nor bacon, basically no warm food. Curtains in the room only cover half the window, not sure how people would be able to sleep here in summer time. Neighbor room could be watched from ours.

This place is really magical. The view from the cabin is simply stunning, with snow covered trees and a frozen lake in front of you, it's a pleasure to just sit there and chill in complete silence. The cabin is small but amazingly cozy, the bed is huge and super comfortable, the bathroom is large enough and the floor heating allows it to dry up quickly after showering.
The reception building with the bar and restaurant is really beautiful and warm and the staff is great and always kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, they serve a lot of local products we enjoyed every morning. The bread they serve is out of this world, one of the best bread I have ever eaten in my life. We only tried the soups and a couple of cocktails at the restaurant and they all satisfied our tastes, the soups were abundant and incredibly tasty. Totally recommended for taking a relaxing break in the nature of wonderful Lapland.

Very cozy pods with great view! We stayed in one of the best pods with the most privacy and a nice view of the forest and lake in the background.

Breakfast was super good! Reindeers extra bonus. Check-in process really simple.

The breakfast was good, had nice variety with bread, egg, greens etc. and it felt pampering to have them delivered to the igloo door! I really liked that there was a coffee machine with free coffee in the igloo kitchen, so we could start the day with good coffee even though we woke up before the breakfast came in.
The location is great with tranquillity!
Parking is quite far from the igloos. You can drive to the igloo to unload luggage, but it would have felt safer to have the car nearer the igloo.

Incredible experience!
