Aurora Queen Resort Igloos

People are extremely friendly and helpful

Restaurant could do with a wider range of selection on the menu or a more frequent change in options

Very special place where everything seems magical!

The restaurant closed at 8:00 but if you planeed around it, is not that bad afterall!

Perfektna lokalita..skutocny relax..super jedlo..priatelsky personal..moznost aktivit ako snezne skutre,jazda na sobich zaprahoch,wellness atd..fotky su realne mnou odfotene.

Dejlig atmosfære i restaurant bygningen. Fantastisk beliggenhed af hytten. Meget venligt serverings personale samt værtspar.

Rensdyr-burgeren var ikke en god oplevelse og kan forbedres til de næste gæster: Bollen var helt kold og meget tør/sej. Selve bøffen var for salt. Vi kunne godt have tænkt os at kunne leje cross-country ski - men det var ikke muligt på resortet.

My husband and I had a dreamy fairytale time here. The view from our room was stunning, the bed and room were very comfortable and the breakfast was really tasty. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming and helpful! We really enjoyed walking through the private forest and experiencing the cold weather and deep snow for the first time-it was very special. We also liked our reindeer and snowmobiling adventures. We were even lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. Thank you so much Pasi and Nina :)

Beautiful and comfortable igloos + lovely staff and delicious food served in a nice and relaxed atmosphere. It was a perfect stay.

Unser Aufenthalt im Aurora Queen Resort war einfach unvergesslich! Die Zimmer waren wirklich wunderschön – stilvoll eingerichtet, sehr gemütlich und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Besonders das Glasiglu war ein absolutes Highlight und hat den Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Das gesamte Personal war außergewöhnlich nett, herzlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Man hat sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und bestens betreut gefühlt. Auch die Besitzer sind unglaublich freundlich und engagiert – ihre Gastfreundschaft spürt man in jedem Detail. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können diese Unterkunft von Herzen weiterempfehlen!

Thanks Nina & Pasi, We had a wonderful experience at Aurora Queen, with its amazing staff, delicious food, great views and everything there! It was a fantastic stay! We had a great birthday celebration with Nina’s surprise! Have to mention that the food at Aurora Queen is also far beyond our expectations! I’ll definitely recommend my friends and come back again someday. Some of my friends already are asking me for recommendations when they saw my pictures.

这是观赏极光最好的地方，有私人卫生间，住宿环境舒适，用餐环境很好，食物很美味，Nina 和Pasi非常棒，感谢你们

My wife and I were absolutely amazed by our overall experience staying at the Aurora Queen Igloo Hotel in Lapland during our recent visit. The glass igloo rooms were stunning, snowy forest surroundings of the resort absolutely picturesque and both the service and attention to detail from the owners and staff were off the charts! From the moment we arrived, everything at this hotel felt very luxurious, personal and special. We also did various activities through the hotel, which were organised perfectly. The owners even tweaked our itenary to maximise our chances of seeing the strongest aurora lights and they were spot on! We managed to see some of the strongest and brightest lights in some remote field during the northern lights excursion with them and got the best pictures/videos! Will be back again, Chris & Ali

Incredible resort - beautiful igloos with high end furnishings, wonderful staff who make you feel so welcome and great food.

Nothing!

Der Aufenthalt wird zu einem exklusiven Erlebnis durch die wundervolle Gastfreundschaft die die Eigentümer Nina und ihr Mann Ihren Gästen entgegenbringen. Die ganze Anlage ist exklusiv und sehr geschmackvoll ausgestattet und jeder Gast wird persönlich betreut, so dass keine wünsche offen bleiben. Ein wunderbares Team in einer zauberhaften Winterlandschaft

Die Speisekarte könnte etwas vielfältiger sein. Ansonsten alles wunderbar.

Breathtaking views. Gorgeous accommodation.

Nina and her team were wonderful and very attentive with every detail about the stay. I had my whole trip planned prior to arriving because Nina had contacted me to ensure my stay was perfect. The Igloos were clean, sustainable, and offered an incredible view of the sky. The team made the difference between an average stay to an incredible stay.

Stupenda, Nina e suo marito sono fantastici, tornerò per fare una proposta di matrimonio 😂❤️

Tutto

simplesmente incrível!!! melhor hotel que já fiquei. é um hotel de luxo, com as acomodações impecáveis, serviço incrível e comida de primeira. Mas o grande diferencial é o atendimento. Os donos - Nina e Pasi - fazem você se sentir como família, são maravilhosos. Dá pra ver que eles realmente trabalham com o que amam. Estava comemorando aniversário de casamento e eles fizeram tudo muito especial. A propriedade é linda para caminhar em volta e eu definitivamente recomendo a sauna privada com jacuzzi.

We have a great time there thanks to the owner Nina and her husband, they have effectively arranged everything as we like, we feel warmly welcomed and the resort is upscale, comfortable and home feeling for vacation

ALLT

Det var inget som var dåligt.

溫暖的服務，從飯店主人到每位工作人員，都給我們很多溫度，每一個大大的笑容，都療癒了我們，是一間讓人有難忘回憶的地方。 飯店非常美，整個佈置非常低調， 處處展現對旅人的細心，乾淨寬敞的洗手間，歎為觀止的窗外景色，舒服的暖氣，餐點非常好吃，非常美味。 哈士奇活動很刺激，後面接桑拿的享受，在冰天雪地，按摩浴缸的熱水跟冷空氣行程強烈對比，看著天空慢慢轉暗，很享受，進到桑拿，很熱很熱，一切都很棒！

Everything was perfect. The managers of the property were sweet people. We were able to see aurora from our igloo. I hope to return one day.. Sending my love!

Our group of 4 had such a pleasant stay for our 2 nights at Aurora Queen! The food was amazing, the hospitality was even better, and the location was secluded but also convenient to all the activities in the area. We were greeted so warmly and made to feel like family during our time there. I couldn’t recommend this more!

Nothing sticks out here!

The hospitality from Nina and Pasi was exceptional. Very personalised service and made us all feel like home during our stay there. The resort is clean, peaceful and not congested and thus relaxing and comfortable with a lot of private space. Food was great including the breakfast that was part of the room package. The walk of the trail around the resort was another highlight for us besides the snowmobile safari and reindeer safari.

It would be even better if the airport transfer could be exclusive and included in the room package.

What’s not to love about this property and the staff, especially the owners. We were greeted with a warm welcome in their beautiful main building with cappuccinos sitting in front of a warm fire. The remote location was exactly what we wanted, with it still being close enough to get to town. This place was truly special. The foot was spectacular, the sauna was tranquil, and the rooms were from a movie. We can’t recommend Aurora Queen enough! Will return someday.

Breakfast was excellent. Great selection of food and quality was outstanding. The igloo was comfortable and luxurious. The resort area was also very beautiful to walk and explore. Our hosts Nina and Pasi were wonderful. Very friendly and helpful!

Some of the upper glass panels on the igloo didn’t not stay clear of snow sometimes which obstructed the view.

Hotel owners were very friendly, the hotel main building was amazing. Rooms are incredibly comfortable. The food, both breakfast and dinners were so much better comparing Rovaniemi center and Helsinki.

This was one of the most amazing places we’ve ever stayed. Certainly in the top 10 anywhere in the world. The owners seem to work so incredibly hard and at the same time make the experience feel very personal. This is pure opulence but at the same time feeling very relaxed. It’s like a home from home; like staying with friends who want to look after you. Their business model seems fairly unique but works incredibly well. We had the best, most relaxing time and were so incredibly grateful to Nina and Pasi for their hospitality and to Constantina who was the best waitress ever. We loved her. We are really grateful for the extra attention Nina gave to my wife who had a milestone birthday while we were there. The food was great, the room was perfect and whilst it took some adjustment to get used to compete silence, it was so refreshing. We would definitely come back !

Nothing … it’s perfect.

All in all one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Perfect on so many levels, and in every little detail. Everything is almost new. The owner couple, extremely nice and friendly, go above and beyond to make your stay a complete pleasure and you feel almost like a private guest. Situated in Kakslautannen, ca. 10 km south of Saariselkä, it is beautifully nestled within a fairy tale forest with pristine snow everywhere. The igloos are far enough apart to create a very individual feeling for each house. The main house is beautiful and serves both as reception area, lounge and restaurant. Because they have only a limited number of houses it is never overcrowded and creates a very personal feeling, unlike many similar hotels in the area that are rather factory-like. Food is excellent, somewhat limited choices, especially when your stay is longer than the usual 2-3 days. Service personnel excels in everything, very warm and friendly and efficient. We also booked a tour where we happened to be the only guests which was wonderful. Nina gave us a big farewell hug - that alone says it all. Thank you for a wonderful week!

nothing. really.

This place was truly magical, the food was amazing, Nina and Pasi were so lovely and welcoming. it’s such a beautiful part of the world. book this place now it won’t disappoint xxx

The property owners are lovely. They are attentive to your needs and make the experience feel homey. The food was really good and the property is beautiful. We were lucky to see the lights all three nights at the property. We even got great pictures from our rooom.

I think this place is slightly overpriced for what you get. Breakfast is included and the meals are affordable, but it felt like everything else was overpriced. The activities are more expensive, probably because you are in the middle of nowhere and don't have many other options. Saunas are part of the Finnish lifestyle and are a fraction of the price at most other resorts, but they charge 175 euros for 1.5 hours in a sauna. The rooms are wonderful, but they are close together, so the wonderful glass that makes it easy to see the sky, also means everyone can see in your room. You can of course close the curtains, but it just takes something away from the experience. While I don't have any regrets and we fulfilled our main purpose--seeing the northern lights--i probably would stay at a different property next time

I had an unforgettable experience at Aurora Queen Resort. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the elegant atmosphere and the warm, professional service that exceeded every expectation. The luxurious amenities and impeccable facilities made my stay truly memorable. What really set this resort apart were the owners, Nina and Pasi. Their genuine hospitality and personal attention ensured that every need was met. They went above and beyond to create a welcoming environment, making me feel like a valued guest throughout my visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Aurora Queen Resort to anyone looking for a luxurious retreat combined with exceptional personal service. Thank you, Nina and Pasi, for making my stay extraordinary!

It was an amazing experience. The igloo is very nice and comfortable, everything you need is there. Nina, Pasi and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Food excellent. You can do a lot of activities.

First of all we really liked the hospitality of the place, just amazing. The room was great and really modern. And the food was excellent, both the à la carte dinner with changing items as well as breakfast

The igloos were amazing, very cozy with everything you needed. The staff were all very nice and helpful. We would definetely come back

Everything

Nothing

excellent experience.

none.

The owners are great. We had a baggage delay and they helped the airlines to get our bags the next day. They set up all of our extra activities and they made sure we had hot drinks when we came back. They had the snow mobile excursion and it was the best of all of the extra activities. Staff went out of the way when we had a cold and needed extra attention.

Limited menu in the restaurant at night if you just want a light dinner. We are not big eaters at night.

We had a fantastic stay, everything was perfectly organized and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They offered diverse activities which we really enjoyed. The restaurant offered a great breakfast as well as lunch and dinner options and they were all delicious.

Nothing.

Aurora Queen Igloos is perhaps the best accommodation we have ever stayed at. The night before we arrived, we were staying down the road at another hotel. The experience of the extraordinary hospitality at AQR started when Pasi offered to pick us up. When we arrived, we were greeted by Nina with a welcome drink with a "chill" style check in, in their exquisite "clubhouse". It is exactly what we imagined, a lodge in the middle of nowhere only the lodge was outfitted like a 7 star hotel. Nina had our activities already planned out for our three day visit and day 1 was to just chill out in our igloo. This was just what we needed. We wanted to make the most of this as the igloos are super high class. Beds are extremely comfortable, there are a couple of comfortable chairs and blankets/pillows etc to make sure you feel you are right at home....only better! Our second day started with a 5 star breakfast- freshly made eggs and the spread were only things we have seen at a brunch in a 5 star hotel. All fresh ingredients and very tasty. We went to dog sled in the morning and chase the northern lights in the evening. It was a perfect day as their staff were super knowledgable and also able to find the lights! They are even better in person! Our dinner this evening was in their "clubhouse" and again the food was top notch. We had the vegetarian option of cauliflower and also the reindeer. Our third day started with a 2 hour snowmobiling in the morning and a 2 hour snowshoeing in the afternoon. Again their staff, Anne Marie, is funny, knowledgeable and made the experience so authentic. We had dinner again that night with their curry and the fresh catch of the day- also both very tasty. The attention to detail is second to none. The decor, the food, the hospitality, the activities.....all made this holiday one of the best we have ever been on.

I ran out of room above..... Thank you so much Nina and Pasi! We are recommending your place to all our family and friends! Hopefully we will see again soon.

We felt very welcome from the moment we walked into the main building. The owners were great hosts. We ate at the restaurant on site both nights and our meals were exceptional. The igloos surpassed our expectations. Elegant and cosy. We were lucky to see the northern lights laying in bed!

We thought the sauna should have been included in your booking.

It was an awesome experience at the Aurora Queen! The Igloos were beautiful and well maintained and the surroundings are absolutely amazing! But the deal breaker was really Pasi and Nina and the entire staff. From the time we started planning the trip Nina was most helpful and obliging with giving advice and accommodating our requests. During the stay they were always smiling and offering help whenever they see a need. They were also very proactive to advice and suggest programmes so the entire stay was filled with different experiences. Of course the icing on the cake was the privilege of viewing the aurora lights from within the igloo. We were fortunate to have a wonderful display of the northern lights on 2 of the nights. The pictures we took from inside the igloo were so amazing our friends didn’t believe we could enjoy it inside the toasty igloos! If I were to visit Ivalo again I would definitely stay here again!

The hosts, the location, the views, the coziness

- Igloos were nice - Nina & parsi were extremely warm & helpful - It was very kind of Parsi to drop us to nearby Bus stop - Breakfast spread was delicious

- We wanted room to be more warmer & heated up - You can keep souvenir shop in your property so ppl can buy local items from Saariselka - Wanted igloo to be more spacious - I got proper hot water in bathroom but after few minutes when my wife went for shower it was not that hot to have bath. Its important that water flows continuously hot from showers for 2 ppl to bath comfortably because outside conditions are very extremely cold - There should be some alarm system to wake up ppl during night when aurora lights are visible

The igloos are exactly what they look like in the pictures, the main restaurant area is also great and v cosy with really nice food. The hotel is also only 15mins away from a ski resort, snow mobile hire and husky sleigh rides so loads to do. 10/10 holiday would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Lapland.

Nothing

The design of the igloo and the wonderful view, the friendly staff, the excellent food, the overall resort is perfect (not too big so that you have the impression to be the only guest there🙂) We had a wonderful snowmobile tour and Northern Lights tour - thank you, Bjoörn!!!

If you are looking for a private exclusive yet familiar and super cozy retreat, this is THE ONE!! The igloos are simply gorgeous and one night we were granted the best Northern Lights we could imagine - an unforgettable glowing night sky directly viewable from our bed when looking through the huge igloo glass windows around and above us. The restaurant with its super cozy atmosphere and fireplace also was a real highlight, breakfast and meals delicious. It is also the „go-to“ place for a cozy hot drink after an excursion out in the cold. The staff is super friendly and helpful (thanx Henna, for all your help and numerous cappuccinos 😊!!) We took part in several activities the hotel offered: - Riding with the huskies (do it if you can!! It’s simply the best if you are in for an adventure!! It‘s a really thrilling ride , and you get to steer your own 2-person husky sledge pulled by 6 eager huskies through beautiful nature) - Snow-mobiling (also hugely recommended!! Beautiful nature!). On all activities you never go in big groups but just with very few people, very appreciated. - Aurora Hunting in minivan: at first we thought: is this really necessary? Or wouldn’t it be enough to view (hopefully occurring) Auroras from the igloo? But during our 4 night stay 2 nights were predicted to be pretty cloudy in the resort area, thus we took 2 tours and the guides took us to remote scenic places further North/ West where the skies were open and we got to see the lights!! - Snowshoeing: as the resort is surrounded by beautiful nature, this was also a great activity that we recommend not to miss A very very special thanks to the couple owning the hotel - both Nina and Pasi were super kind, helpful and flexible (us joining Northern Lights minibus tour one night last minute) and made this stay simply unforgettable - we felt like being among friends! And also to the great guides Björn& AnneMarie!

The staff was very friendly and the owner of the resort was very friendly, and also the owner of the place offered us , other places to spend a special time.

Everything is beautiful and I will visit again

A big THANK YOU to the entire AQ team. They were all too kind, very attentive and caring and made our stay an awesome experience. The igloos are great: very cozy, well equipped with stylish interior design and offer fantastic view. Compliments as well to the chefs. The food was amazing and we fell in love with the homemade bread. We had a lot of fun and unforgettable moments on our excursions: husky safari, snowmobile tour and aurora hunting all with nice and caring tour guides. We plan to come back and stay for more days in this winter wonderland :)

This resort was more than our expectations. It’s not only for the cozy and wonderful igloo, but also every single requirement we asked. We travel with a kid and an old lady. Nina, Pasi, Hanna and everyone in the resort took care of us very well. We didn’t drive by ourselves, but the resort arranged the transportation for us and the driver was so kind and helpful. Btw, the food was the most delicious in Finland. Many thanks to AQ. We will definitely visit again.

No

AQ Resort exceeded my expectations in every way. The hosting and reception were friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food was a standout, truly amazing. The location and activities provided a perfect balance for a memorable stay. Highly recommended!

The repetition of a very restricted lunch and dinner menu each day was a drawback. It would have been more pleasant to have a broader range of dining options for a more diverse and satisfying culinary experience.

Most beautiful stay of our life. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Nina & Pasi are wonderful hosts, extremely professional. Would love to come back.

Nothing just that we weren't lucky enough to see the Northern Lights from our igloo :(

This is truly one of the most amazing hotels that we have ever stayed at. Everything was so well thought out, the staff was super friendly and our stay was absolutely magical.

Nothing

Excellent location, amazing igloo design, cosy and convenient. We caught aurora light on the second night in AQ resort. Wonderful experience, the most important was the owners and staffs were extremely helpful and kindness. We all love this resort and start planning for our next vacation now.

No

This is a super luxurious property with the generous staff to match. The Igloo cabins are made to the highest quality, warm and cozy. Nina, Pasi and staff go the extra mile to make sure your every need is met. Husky and snowmobile tours easily organised and the Northern lights tour expertly executed - complete with hot blackberry juice. We would love to return here again.

AQ is a jewel in the snow! What more can I say? The room is spacious and beautiful! The igloos are nestled in in the snow covered forest and the views are stunning. The restaurant feels like an art gallery and the staffs are very nice. We took both Aurora and reindeer safari and lucky enough to see the northern light. Thank you AQ and also to Nina and Pasi for being such a great host.

The hotel and the rooms are beautiful, amazing views! The room is spacious and has a cosy feel. The owners are amazing and friendly, they try to help you with everything. Thank you Queen Aurora we loved it ♥️

AQ is much over our expectations. The Igloos are just settled among the snow covered forests. We could also often find reindeers strolling around in near forest, and even around the Igloo. The scenery of the surrounding is a real fairy land. The Igloo is very comfortable and warm. Both the Igloo house and interior design are very cozy and paid attention to each detail. The decorations of the restaurant are something like an art gallery. The chef also makes very nice Nordic cuisine for guests. The high light was the driving snowmobile through the trail among the white forest. It was a so beautiful experience. We even met reindeers on the way of driving. Especially the guide was a very gentle and friendly young man. He told us many stories about the local nature and tried many ways to let us enjoy the driving. All the staffs are very nice. Nina and her husband are very friendly to the guests. They talked to us like friends. We got a most beautiful memories in AQ in our Finnish Arctic Circle trip.

None

Simply put, we had an amazing time during our stay. Nina, Pasi and the rest of the team at Aurora Queen Resort really make you feel like home and will tailor your stay with activities in order to enjoy the amazing lapland nature. The rooms are superbly decorated and functional giving you first row seat on magnificent views. We will definitely return for more mesmerizing moments!

If there is something to write here would be about the restaurant menu, not about the dishes as they were delicious but I would expect the menu options to change every few days in order to have some more variety.

This one of the the best resorts we have ever stayed in. The service is incredible, the igloos are extremely beautiful, food is amazing and the nature is just... wonderful!!!! Ah and did I mentioned the food and the chefs - the top! Nina and Passi (the owners) are so kind and warm people. They went out of their way to provide us anything we asked, helped us with organizing transport, activities and even were on a constant watch for the Aurora and notified all guests once the sky was green :) They also provided a lot of vegetarian meal options for my husband upon request. I definitely 100% recommend Aurora Queen Resort for all travel junkies :)

Everything: the staff and owners make the stay so enjoyable. Igloos are clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. Food is amazing, lots of choices. Excellent breakfast to start the say

Really nothing to not like.

We visited this hotel for our honeymoon, and it was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. The hotel, the igloos (rooms) and facilities were stunning, as was the nature around it. The hotel is located in the (very snowy) forest, and the whole experience was magical. First off, the owners, Nina and Pasi are extremely charming, friendly, and warm people. They surprised us with some sparkling wine for our honeymoon when we first entered our igloo. Beyond that, they catered to our every request, and were always asking how we were, whether we were enjoying ourselves, and were interested to get to know us at every opportunity. They are wonderful, and they are a reason alone to visit this hotel. The other staff members of the hotel are also amazing, extremely friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. It is clear that everyone cares about the customers and providing them with a good experience. We want to make a special mention to Henna, who makes anyone happy after a few moments of talking to her, Bjorn, with his contagious enthusiasm about nature, and Anne-Marie, who surprised us by being a fluent Greek speaker! All of these people made our stay special. The hotel itself is quite secluded, but it offers various activities that are fun and interesting, like snowmobiling, husky riding, and others. If you’re lucky, you will be able to see the aurora lights. It’s important to know that this is not guaranteed, as it depends on various factors. We were lucky enough to see them on our first night, and I must say that it was a truly unique experience. The hotel restaurant is also great, especially during night time. On one of the nights I had a reindeer steak, and it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I can’t say enough about how special the igloos are. You have to experience it to understand it! This is definitely a special hotel that offers an unforgettable experience to those seeking a winter and especially a Christmasy retreat. We would highly recommend it :)

A very minor point for improvement: It would have been nice to have more options for lunch at the hotel restaurant, as there were limited options that get a bit repetitive. That being said, the options that are there are very tasty.

Pasi, Nina and the whole AQ crew are super nice and helpful and gave us many great tips prior and throughout the stay. The entire igloo are well furnished, clean and comfortable and the food are great! (Hot chocolate is definitely the must-try!). It was definitely a highlight of our honeymoon tour.

Stunning resort in the forest. Igloos perfect, location perfect, restaurant and food outstanding. But most of all the owners and staff are amazing. Nina and Posi are there morning noon and night to make sure your stay is perfect, and every member of their team simply can't do enough for you. One of the most memorable and happy places we've ever stayed at. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing warm and friendly service in a stunning environment. Beautifully decorated and service to match

This is by far the best winter destination I have ever been to so far. Aurora Queen Resort was definitely a big part of that. Nina and Pasi the owners are just lovely. Helpful, super welcoming, friendly and passionate. We didn’t arrive until 1.15am yet Pasi was regularly checking in on us (we were driving from Rovaniemi airport circa 3 hours) and greeted us when we arrived. We did the husky safari (a must), northern lights safari and snowmobiling. We felt very lucky that we actually managed to see the lights and they were completely mesmerising. The tour guide for the lights and snowmobiling is so enthusiastic about his job, you can’t help but be very engaged with him. The waitresses also super lovely, always willing to have a chat and recommend dishes or explain anything you were unsure of. The igloo. What a view! It was hard not to just stay in there the whole trip as everything was so beautiful. Really luxurious and cosy. The underfloor heating is a great touch. Designed by Pasi and interior design by Nina, the igloos definitely ticked all of our boxes. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, see you! ❤️

Stunning location , scenery accomodation and service- all excellent !

We loved every minute of our stay! The igloo was so beautiful and Nina&Pasi are the most welcoming hotel owners we have ever met! We will definitely be back!

Some closet space or some drawers would‘ve been nice, but other than that it was absolutely perfect.

Mesmerizing views in the igloos. Superb staff who make you feel right at home.

If you are looking for a hotel which offers unparalleled views, an intimate and luxurious experience, fantastic food and warm and friendly hosts, look no further. Pasi and Nina, the husband and wife team and also the hosts of the hotel, made our stay of 4d 3n go by so quickly that we would have loved to stay longer if we could. Their hospitality, generosity, warmth exceeded all our expectations. You can see their passion and dedication in every detail of this property. The hotel is in Kakslauttanen, which you can get to by bus or taxi, and you can contact the hosts for a pick up from the bus stop there if needed. They responded quickly via email after our arrival time was delayed. The room is well furnished and has a beautiful view of the sky. It has a clean and modern bathroom, hot running water, heated flooring and a coffee machine. If you are lucky, you can catch the northern lights from your room as well. You can arrange for an in-house experience (snow mobile, snow shoeing) or external safaris (husky sledding, ice karting etc.) from the hotel. We had most of our meals in the property which were finnish cuisine, prepared by the in-house chef. The food and drinks were skillfully prepared and of restaurant standard, with prices comparable to other food and beverage options in the vicinity. We would highly recommend this property for couples who are looking for a special and unique experience in Lapland 👍🏻

Nina the owner the best

A sauna in the room would make from 1 to 10, 11

This hotel looked amazing when booking online but when we got there it was even more incredible in real life. The location is beautiful, the igloos are out of a movie, with lovely warm heating and great interiors, plus the view out to the frozen forest! I couldn’t recommend this hotel more. The staff were also so lovely and friendly, as it doesn’t sit many people, they really do focus on the attention to detail. As an example I asked for a coconut milk latte on my first morning, they didn’t have that milk which was fine but the next day they went out and bought some coconut milk so I could have one with breakfast. Overall INCREDIBLE!

The food was delicious and presented so well but I would maybe recommend to book out 1 or 2 nights as the menu doesn’t change for dinner, it was still lovely but nice to have a bit of change!

Rooms were Fantastic, we'll set out with everything expected. The only thing to make the room better would be the option for hot chocolate as well as the tea/coffee provided. Breakfast had enough of everything we'd expect for a buffet continental. Restaurant whilst limited in options was very good and priced well. The reindeer sirloin and burgers were delicious! Staff were very friendly, approachable and always helpful. Reindeer tour with Visa as the guide was Excellent! Visa was an incredible storyteller.

The aurora safari by minivan could have been better, Felt like it was still a work in progress. A hot drink included at the main location as well as a little more communication as to how the safari would run would have been nice.

wonderful winter view, spacious, comfortable. arrived in Ivalo after a long journey and it was a great space to unwind and relax. good quality food and meals, and everything was so fresh.

How should i start! Everything was truly magical, the Glass Igloos are so chic, elegant and furnished very carefully with al lot of beautiful details while nestled inside a frosty Forest like a Winter Wonderland. The AQ Resort vibes are so serene and relaxing exactly what i was looking for. There are beautiful walking trails around. The Food was so yummy and Breakfast Buffet included a lot of healthy option. Staff are so kind, friendly and cheerful. Owners, Nina and her Husband are so friendly and welcoming. Overall, i had a wonderful stay, and i cannot wait to go back for a longer stay.
