Overall the stay was what I expected. However, the heater wasn’t working in my igloo and while they were quick to attempt to resolve the issue it took hours for guest services to troubleshoot and remedy the situation. They ended up comping dinner and giving me another suite for the night but then woke me up multiple times the next morning to work while I attempted to sleep. Again, happy for the effort but no one wants to be woken up on their vacation. Positives: their aurora alarm will wake you up in the middle of the night so you don’t sleep through catching them. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Property is easy to navigate and is walkable

My daughter and I loved the hot tub outside our property (yes - we went into it in minus 17 deg C!). We also enjoyed an absolutely scrumptious meal when we first arrived - the hotel's food is devine. Great location for being close to everything, yet apart in nature. Brilliant trip and igloo!

We are quite disappointed by this facility based on their hotel rate. We expected more luxury stay. But they are not even close.

Amazing experience but just lack of luck

It’s an amazing experience except no luck for Aurora that night. And unlucky that our room TV is not working too.

If you're a 5-star type of traveler, this place will disappoint. We stayed in the Igloo but due to light pollution, it's extremely hard to see within the room. The breakfast is what really tanks this place for me. There is no ala carte ordering and no staff members there to greet you guide you on where to sit bring any hot drinks or take a hot drink order when I went up to the only worker who's there during our first day not knowing exactly how they operate, I asked her how do we submit our drink orders is there a waiter that comes to our table and she looked agitated and said no everybody just serves themselves and you cannot order ala car and there's no way the kitchen can order things for you even if you have dietary restrictions. She was very rude and acted as if I was inconveniencing her. We couldn't wait to leave.

It was cloudy so we didn’t see anything that night but the place was great. Food was fabulous and staff were really accommodating. The igloos are cool to stay in and whilst not big you expect that as it’s the novelty you’re paying for really. Close to santa claus village also.

Too short a stay

Hugo & Gelli are wonderful customer service staff. Food is great. Igloo cottage is cute, though no microwave oven. There's no shuttle from reception to the Santa's village, which is quite far. Not sure if they have sauna, but it was not offered. Heated glass roof was awesome, too bad sky has 100% cloud cover. Stayed 2 nights only.
