Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort

Best hotel experience ever! The staff (most of them are expats) treated me like a king. They were nice enough to pick me up with their shuttle bus and gave me extra food for missing some meals. Hospitality is so great! I can't thank them enough. They went above and beyond for me. Staying inside the glass igloo as a hotel room is a dream come true. Time does go by very fast, so sleep less and just gaze at the roof as you are laying down. I'm literally the happiest person on Earth. Thanks Kakslauttanen team! You guys are amazing!

A unique opportunity to explore Lapland experiencing Reindeer sled rides, husky sled rides, snow mobile rides and cross country skiing, topped by the hope to witness the Aurora Northern Lights that did indeed shine across the sky on our second night.

The resort has a very scenic ambiance. The dining hall is very Finnish using natural resources from the property, I assume. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. All the activities organized were fun. A bit disappointed with the food menu. I hope there is an improvement in that area.

Once is a lifetime experience. Had a great time overall. The food needs to be more accommodating and non-repetitive. It can do wonders if the focus on quality and taste of the food is increased. Resort is great but is utilized 50% of its true potential. Location A+, Stay A, Pre-Booking support B+, and food is a solid D. If you can figure food this resort can touch a different level of greatness.

It was a wonderful experience staying in a glass lgloos at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort! We catch the northern lights on the second nights which was so stunning and amazing!

The peace and quiet experience and landscaping around property. Amazing place for spiritual retreat However lacking food quality and staff shortage or lack of service at restaurant and bar area. Needs staff all the time at bar. Waited 20 mins for a cappuccino and no-one in front of me please people. Change menu diversity for breakfast and try to hire chefs a la carte this will give this resort a 100 plus Please add tv in the rooms that is much needed when after dark theres nothing to do other than sleep and eat but if no tv and no good food service why go there Husky tour Reindeer tour Santa claus Skiing Ice fishing Ice breaker tour etc was all great but would not go back till new menu on restaurant (aurora) Overall is an amazing place to stay but once again it will make this resort a 5 star if the above was added Will i go back there

Wonderful experience, excellent services

The only thing nice is the location and property however when it comes to Kakslauttanen (west village) staff they require a lesson on Hospitality, they were highly understaffed & outright rude behind the counter there was an Indian, a European and an Asian. The Indian lady who seems to be a manager needs to be taught how to smile and be courteous and needs to learn to talk to customers and learn manners (I over heard uncourteously boasting we are the first to make the glass igloo). We wanted to book excursions, the Asian lady made a face and replied you should have booked it online, she helped us after but that is so rude The European lady was the kindest and polite, the other two should learn from her. When it came to food,At breakfast there was bread, Jam, cereal, I requested for boiled eggs the hostess said she had only 3 so please take one (surprising in a hotel on Christmas you have 3 eggs) with hundreds of guests. For dinner for vegetarians there was steamed veggies, boiled and baked potato, and only cabbage rolls another day. We never visited the restaurant after these experiences. It is disappointing you pay thousands of euros and all you get is bad service and almost no food. Each and every couple that we met were disappointed and would recommend that you never visit this property, If you do then make sure that you carry your own food!!! To the hotel management, a customer expects service and not to be left hungry... I am a very dissatisfied customer

No showers inside. Everything else was Ok

1.We loved this property. We stayed in the small glass igloo for three nights. Clean, warm, cozy, unique, wonderful grounds, walkable, even the wifi was great when I needed to check-in with work, great experience. BUT- 2. For $600 a night, a tole but no shower? There is room for a shower vs the 200m walks to the barely used shower house. Speaking of the shower house, the sauna hours didn't start until 1700 and were separated by male and female saunas, no combined experience. The breakfast and dinners were included, but were high school cafeteria quality (soups, bread, pasta, with plate cake desserts). No pool, no massage available, no bar open. 3. The front desk staff were heroes, amazing even while working in chaos. All activities meet in the front desk area and people get nervous when it is past the meet time and you are still waiting - so people ask the desk agents. Why not put up a digital sign stating the schedule? You also have to wait in line with the front desk to reserve your dinner time - why not add a digital roster in the rooms, online, or in the lobby, or even a simple clipboard instead of using front desk lines and their time? No pool but you built a massive multimillion dollar art gallery and gift shop? Why not turn the cavernous gallery into an indoor / outdoor pool with saunas, there is room and would give stranded guests a place to go while waiting to check in / check out instead of the lobby looking like the waiting area of a bus station.
