- vikas (10/5): Excellent - Location and cottage facilities Na
- Souhail (9/5): -
- Francesca (9/5): Indimenticabile - La posizione impagabile e il cottage messo a disposizione un luogo caldo, accogliente, con camino e sauna e un assortimento incredibile di cibo per la colazione. Host gentilissimo subito a disposizione del cliente!
- Yvonne (10/5): - Alles! In de iglo slapen was een hele bijzondere ervaring. Het uitzicht is fantastisch. En het noorderlicht liet zich deze nacht goed zien.
De gezamenlijke cottage heeft alles wat je nodig heeft (ruime douche,wc,sauna,keuken) en overtreft al je verwachtingen met spullen die daar aanwezig zijn.
Dit is het geld zeker waard!
- Johnny_Boy89 (10/5): Magical night - The igloos and the common cottage are located on a beautiful lake. They are very cozy and warm, from the former you can enjoy the amazing colors of the northern lights just lying on your bed, from the letter you can enjoy the view of the lake while either sitting on the porch and the comfortable couch. Everything is very clean. There is WiFi everywhere. I liked everything
- Tina (10/5): This place and the host is just a delight. Everything you could need and more. - Really wide selection of good fresh food in a really cozy setting, everything super clean and organized yet incredibly cozy.

- roberto (10/5): Una notte da sogno - Soggiorno di una notte fantastico! Igloo piccolino ma accogliente e funzionale. Pulizia ottima e proprietari gentili e disponibili. Cottage pulito e molto accogliente. Buona colazione e frigorifero ben fornito. Con un costo extra possibilità di transfer. Purtroppo non abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vedere l’aurora ma ne vale lo stesso la pena, esperienza suggestiva! Super consigliato! Niente
- Steph (10/5): Outstanding experience and very unique stay. - The breakfast was delicious and a good variety. Beautiful cottage with great views. Loved every part of it. Used the sauna and cooled off outside in the snow. Host was super friendly and kind when greeting us. Had everything we needed. The igloo itself is small but perfect for sleeping and looking at the scenery. Nothing. Everything was wonderful.
- Gloria (10/5): - Good position, clean, the host was super friendly, a big breakfast was available every day, the kitchen was really well equipped with all the necessary utensils. We felt right at home and we would come back
- Saygılı (10/5): -
- Reinhard (10/5): Unvergessen <3 ! - Die Igloos sind ein Traum! Modern und hochwertig, zugleich unglaublich kuschelig direkt im See/im Schnee. Unvergessen! Geteiltes Haus mit komplett eingerichtet und Vorräten zum mitbenutzen. Schnelles Internet. Freue mich auf das nächste Mal :-)!
- Stefanelli (10/5): Esperienza meravigliosa e romantica - L’host Marko é stato di una gentilezza unica; ha aspettato il nostro arrivo e ci ha spiegato tutti i servizi della struttura e ci ha fatto trovare dei regalini di benvenuto.
L’igloo é stata un’esperienza meravigliosa; impagabile l’alba sul lago ghiacciato.
- Walter (10/5): -
- Philippe (10/5): Excellente expérience - Il y avait tout ce qu'il fallait, même plus
En plus, nous avions la chance d'avoir le chalet pour nous tous seuls
Vue magnifique sur le lac gelé, comme seuls au monde Nous n'avons pas vus d'aurore boréale, mais ce n(est pas la faute de nos hôtes
- Svenja (8/5): -
- Maeva (10/5): Parfait - L’emplacement des igloos est idéal, la vue donne sur un lac gelé, c’est magnifique. C’est également un emplacement de choix pour espérer voir des aurores boréales. Les hôtes sont exceptionnels, très gentils, attentionnés, ils veillent à ce que vous ayez tout ce dont vous avez besoin. Ils prenaient même la peine de nous avertir quand des aurores se montraient.
Je recommande vivement ce logement et j’espère avoir la chance d’y séjourner à nouveau.
- Ya Ting (10/5): -
- Isabel (10/5): Maravilloso - Todo fue excepcional. Desde la ubicación, la atención y el mimo en los detalles, hasta el trato del personal. El encargado del alojamiento se tomó la molestia de avisarnos cuando las auroras boreales aparecieron. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Una maravilla de trato,de lugar y de experiencia. Nada, todo superó mis expectativas.
- wei liang (10/5): - It was a great stay. The whole experience from checking in to staying and then checking out was easy and seamless. The host was extremely helpful as well, even provided snacks and breakfast for us 🙂
- Melanie (10/5): Einzigartiges Erlebnis! - Danke für diese einzigartig, wunderschöne Zeit an diesem ganz speziellen Ort! Es hat alles gepasst und ich hatte eine unvergessliche Zeit! Nichts
- Francelle (10/5): We came to see the Nothern Lights and we had the most amazing experience and saw rhe Nother Lights from our igloo. GREAT - The igloo is AMAZING!!
- Min (10/5): Amazing - Facilities and service. The igloo was nice and warm. Entry with password. Mark was very welcoming and helpful. We were lucky to have the main cottage all to our selves. We enjoyed the sauna, the fireplace, and the breakfast. You can see their attention to details.
Unfortunately we didn’t see aurora lights there because of thick clouds. But if you arrive you a good day, surely you can see because the igloo is on the lake with lots of open ground and you can see far.
Overall, a very good stay. Beyond our expectations. Honestly nothing.
- Pia (10/5): Wenn man in Finnland in der Iglo gehen möchte, ist hier definitiv das beste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis gegeben. Es ist s - Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich, und alles ist geräumig und sauber.
- Davide Alessandro (10/5): - Luogo pazzesco, stupendo, una delle esperienze più belle della nostra vita. Proprietario gentilissimo e super disponibile, tutto fantastico!
- margaux (10/5): - Tout était parfait! Rien ne manque. Et même sans aurore boréale la nuit est magique et le lever de soleil incroyable. Très facile d’accès. Rien
- Erica Sabrina (10/5): Staying in the igloo and the cottage far exceeded our expectations. It was an experience of a lifetime. - Had a conflict with the hotel booking and our tour for Aurora Hunting since it was cancelled for two days. We talked to the owners and they were very understanding. When we arrived, the cottage was all to ourselves. We were surprised with all the amenities and did not expect to be that complete. It was cozy, safe and comfortable. None
- Catherine (10/5): Wow - what an experience - The igloo was perfect and a unique experience. Comfortable and warm, and the view - wow! Supported by use of a cottage (1 between 2 igloos in our case) where there was a fully stocked kitchen, sauna and bathroom, the whole stay was just wonderful. Helped by the most amazing aurora display. Nothing
- george (10/5): -
- michela (10/5): - Tutto! Letteralmente un posto da sogno, ogni dettaglio è curato, l’ospitalità è ottima. Oltre alla pulizia e alla bellezza del paesaggio, la colazione è davvero ottima, piena di cose buonissime. Il cottage riscaldato è sempre a disposizione h24. Un’esperienza da fare nella vita Nulla
- Sukru (9/5): -
- Gilles (10/5): -

- Kwankamon (10/5): -
- Luke (10/5): The best - Wonderful. The host is amazing and we were lucky to see the northern lights from the igloo.
- Adam (10/5): Our stat was fantastic and Michael was a fantastic host and reception service and communication from Australia to on sit - Great location Nothing

- Jackson (10/5): -
- Seher (10/5): - Unglaublich freundliche Mitarbeiter – wirklich eine der schönsten Erfahrungen, die ich je gemacht habe!
Auf einem zugefrorenen See in einem Iglu zu übernachten, war einfach ein Traum. Wir hatten sogar das Glück, die Polarlichter zu sehen. ✨
Auch die Gemeinschaftsbereiche sind wunderschön gestaltet – es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Im Kühlschrank gibt es reichlich Frühstückssachen, Obst und eine große Auswahl an Getränken.
Definitiv ein unvergessliches und absolut großartiges Erlebnis! Das wir zu kurz da waren 😔
- Kamlesh (10/5): -
- Florian (10/5): Einmaliges Erlebnis - Die Unterkunft war außergewöhnlich. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis auch wenn wir leider keine Polarlichter sehen konnten. Das Cottage war mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt und auch das Frühstück war ebenfalls super.
Die Gastgeber waren an Freundlichkeit kaum zu übertreffen.
Würde es auf jeden Fall empfehlen.
- Daniela (10/5): Être dans son lit et voir les aurores boréales ça n’a pas de prix, juste magique. - Tout était parfait, le lieux, le confort, la partie commune avec sauna et la cuisine équipée. En arrivant nous avions même reçu une petite intention. Le propriétaire m’a même proposé d’être sure place lors de mon arrivée tard le soir pour m’aider. Rien
- Stefano (10/5): -
- EleonoraaaC (10/5): One of the best places I've ever been to! - Everything was super clean and cosy, both the common areas and the igloos. The latter had bluetooth for music, a complimentary drink, and were lovely. The best part of my stay was the host though! He helped me reach the accommodation, and has been extremely kind throughout. At night he even rang me to let me know about the northern lights. I didn't pick up, and he came knocking to ensure I saw them (they were very strong that night). He was so kind and made the stay 100 times better. I also loved the sauna overlooking the forest. NOTHING!!!
- Luke (10/5): -
- Tienna (10/5): Absolute perfection. - EVERYTHING!!! My goodness everything was perfect. The location was not too far out from the city centre but enough for us to feel like we can get some nice quiet time. The igloo itself had everything you could’ve asked for, a built in speaker, comfy bed and beddings -everything.
We took advantage of borrowing the snow shoes and went on abit of an adventure at the nearby hike route.
The communication was always so prompt and quick, the cottage had everything you need. We loved our time here so much and wish we had another day.
- Beverley (10/5): Perfect !! - Stayed for one night at Vikajärvi Lake View Igloos and had an amazing time.
Marco picked us up from centre of Rovaniemi and was chatty, funny and full of local information.
When arriving at the igloos we were given access to a main cottage and our code to enter our igloo.
The main cottage is incredible !! Fully kitted out with literally everything you need. A breakfast box is left for each igloo in the fridge and contains fruit, pastries, drinks, granola etc etc.
The main fridge also has various drinks / foods / eggs etc that is free to use … there is also a huge choice of coffees & teas.
The igloos themselves are not huge BUT are all you need and were well insulated / equipped.
We were not lucky enough to see the northern lights as there was too much cloud but we were greeted with the most amazing sunrise !
We spent the next morning exploring the local forest / lake and some sledding too 😊.
Cannot fault our stay here and would totally recommend.
Many thanks Marco & Hanna -
We would love to return one day and take some more photos !! Loved everything!!
- Tania (10/5): -
- EE (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): One of a kind experience - This was an amazing property and we loved every minute spent at the property from the rooms to the cottages. Marco was an amazing host. NOTHING
- Inga (10/5): 1 Nacht, Nordlichter und viel Schnee - traumhaftes Erlebnis - Die Unterkunft ist super clean, sehr charmant und perfekt ausgestattet. Für das leibliche Wohl ist gesorgt und den Rest erledigt die Natur. Das Iglo sowie das Charlet sind ein Traum. Marko ist der Beste - dank ihm haben wir die Nordlichter gesehen! Hier gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Top Service, top Unterkunft.
- Lena (10/5): Ein unglaubliches toller Erlebnis - wir würden sofort wieder kommen - -Hanne und Marko waren unglaublich liebe und sympathische Gastgeber
-gemeinsames Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, Liebe im Detail es fehlt an nichts
-Sauna und Schneeschuhe inkludiert
-Frühstück vegetarisch möglich gewesen, war sehr lecker
-Iglu super gemütlich und warm
-kleine und gemütliche Lage (8 Iglus) Es war alles perfekt!!!
- Konstantina (10/5): -
- אללי (10/5): This is exactly how you should host! - You can see that the place is run from the heart, there is the igloo itself which was excellent and warm, in my opinion a bit small but it was completely clean and luxurious, and there is the house itself where you can shower and cook, the apartment owners make sure that there is everything there, from shampoo for hair to cooking oil, really everything! And everything is clean and pleasant, of course the owner of the business also came and smiled and asked if everything was okay. I really recommend the place just because you feel at home there.
- nathan (10/5): We stayed in cabin C and LOVED it!! The hosts were so friendly and every thing was so nice! - The scenery was perfection and the hosts were fantastic! Nothing to say here.
- Angeliki (10/5): It’s incredible to lie in your igloo bed on a frozen lake and watch the Northern Lights right above - When planning our stay in an igloo, I thought we would face difficulties with practical things like taking a shower etc. However, this specific accommodation exceeded all our expectations. The place is magical, with igloos situated on a frozen lake, very close to the city center and with a very easy access road. The igloos have their own private toilet and are super organized. Marko welcomed us with a smile and kindness, constantly asking if we needed anything else and being ready to provide it. The common area was spotless and exceptionally well-maintained, offering all sorts of amenities from personal care items to food and anything else one might need. Everything was perfect
- Carolina (10/5): -
- Monica (10/5): -
- Lenka (10/5): - Ako v rozprávke. Chata obsahovala veľmi milé pochutiny, ktoré sme mohli použiť. Chata je nádherná, plne zariadená. Ak chcete zažiť romantický pobyt tak odporúčam hlavne v zimnej sezóne, kedy sneh robí magickú atmosféru :) Niektorí hostia zneužívajú pohostinnosť a balia si vo veľkom snacky na ďalšie svoje tripy, ale s tým ubytovanie nič neurobí :)
- Wilhelmina (10/5): - Prachtige unieke ervaring
- Wafa (8/5): Exceptionnel 😍 - Experience Exceptionnel dans l’igloo face au lac personnel special mention a Marco qui etait au petit soin pour nous C’est un peu loin si vous n’etes pas motorisé
- Olivia (10/5): Amazing, breathtaking and their kindness and hospitality is amazing - Marko was very friendly and even came out to tell us about the northern lights so we wouldn’t missed it. He fetched us from city centre for a price given it was further away, and he didn’t leave until he introduced all the facilities and food!
The hospitality is great, they prepared breakfast in the fridge for us in the shared house, and there’s a lot of food in the cabin, everything that you could imagine, so you can cook and even have more food. The sauna was also amazing and the igloo itself is so warm and cosy. We managed to see so many northern lights on our one night and we were so amazed and excited to be sleeping on the igloo on a frozen lake as well. Nothing we didn’t like! The location is a bit further but that helps with seeing the northern lights!
- Alesseh (9/5): -
- Dave Cordova (10/5): - We loved the placement of the igloos and it was very dreamy. The igloo was well heat insulated and gave us a beautiful view of the northern lights - the cabin was also very cozy and we enjoyed the sauna! Liked everything! Hard to store large luggage in the igloo though!
- Xiaoyan (10/5): Northern lights were shining - Location of the property and the whole experience of staying. The staff is very helpful and friendly.
- Jonas (10/5): -
- Jais (10/5): - It was an excellent stay, well maintained. Nothing, everything was just perfect
- Franco (10/5): Séjour au top avec pleins d'aurore boréales pendant la nuit - Tout le personnel le lieu et l'ambiance RAS
- Sin yu (10/5): - Everything is prefect , nice host and helpful , beautiful view , and lotssssss of food provided, thankyou once again.
- Francesca (10/5): Stupendo - Tutto davvero stupendo. L'host è bravissimo. Siamo stati fortunati ad avere il cottage condiviso, solo per noi. Lo spazio era molto grande e siamo stati dotati di tutte le comodità possibili. Siamo stati accolti da Marco, che con una bevanda calda e biscotti, gentilmente ci ha spiegato il tutto. Il frigo era pieno quindi siamo riusciti anche a mangiare qualcosina per cena (buonissimi noodles). È andato tutto alla perfezione, anche se sfortunatamente abbiamo beccato la settimana più brutta per l'aurora, il soggiorno è stato magnifico.
- Justine (10/5): Magique - Tout a été pensé pour une expérience magique.
Le lit est super confortable, les hôtes vous offrent un confort indescriptible.
- CHAN (10/5): -
- Samantha (8/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): - The igloos are clean and simple. The cottage was an unexpected surprise. Everything was above and beyond what we could have imagined. Marko was so helpful and kind. Was a restful and relaxing way to spend a few days.
- Pei-hsin (10/5): 非常喜歡的體驗 👍房主人很好 我在羅瓦涅米機場困了兩天飛不出去沒地方洗澡睡覺 跟房主告知去借小屋洗澡睡覺 因為聖誕假期附近也都沒有空房 已經在機場睡了一天 不想第二天不能洗澡還要睡機場 太悲慘了 房主告知我可以過去 說馬克會來收費 但馬克沒 - 幾乎不用自己帶任何東西就可以入住 小屋內的設備跟食物都很齊全 浴室內 洗髮精 潤髮乳 沐浴乳 洗面乳 乳液通通都有 還有桑拿真的超棒的
熱水很熱 洗澡很溫暖
食物有泡麵 牛奶 水果 麥片餅乾 咖啡 真的很齊全不怕肚子餓
玻璃屋很美也很溫暖 沒有
- Anastasia (10/5): - amazing hosts, the place was like in a fairy fale, saw the northern lights, perfect spot for them. this igloo was the highlight of our trip. thank you
- Soh (10/5): - Can really see the whole horizon! The shared cottage has everything too!
- Francesca (10/5): - Tutto, poter dormire sotto il cielo nella natura é un’esperienza unica. Nulla
- Chaiane (10/5): -
- Albert (10/5): Estancia en Enero - Pasamos dos noches en el alojamiento. La zona es preciosa y tranquila. Tan tranquilo que aparecen animales salvajes durante el día cerca del alojamiento (Renos, Zorros...). E ideal para ver Auroras Boreales si el tiempo acompaña. Los anfitriones son atentos y a la vez mantienen la distancia para que estés cómodo y a tu aire, y no están ni en la cabaña compartida, ni en los igloos. Los Igloos están domotizados y muy bien equipados. Son cómodos y bien aislados. Y la cabaña comunitaria es una casa completa, moderna y con todo lo necesario. Además es muy acogedora. El desayuno es muy completo, y además, dejan productos diferentes para que los huéspedes lo puedan cogerlos libremente cuando quieran. Pudimos reservar el servicio de taxi con el coche familiar de los propietarios. Hanne y Marko son muy atentos y serviciales. La experiencia ha sido de 10 y la recomendamos al 100%. Y en un futuro nos gustaría repetir.
- LOISEAU (10/5): Merciii - Le personnel est accueillant et gentil.
Plein de bons conseils
Il a frapper a la porte pour qu'on voir les aurores boréales Tout était bien
- Adam (10/5): A quiet, authentic Lapland experience - Marlo (host) was exceptional! Helped us with how the igloo worked. Pointed out the northern lights. Helped us do ice fishing! Nothing
- YUSUKE (9/5): -
- Chartchai (9/5): -
- Natacha (10/5): - Une expérience fabuleuse dans un cadre fantastique !
- ankita (5/5): We are happy that we got to see the northern lights and enjoy the igloo minus the basic facilities. Igloo 7/10 rest - The location of the igloo was good. The igloo was nice and cosy. The sauna in the common cottage was decent too. The common was more like a hostel with basic amenities to share. But the igloo for the price offered was very very basic. As mentioned the best way to put it is it was a very expensive backpacker. The facilities provided were like staying in a hostel. The dry toilet was smaller than the one in a motorhome. Much much smaller🥹. Once inside you can’t move at all. The stay was breakfast included but it was the most horrible box breakfast. With frozen croissant 🥐, fruits, tetra pack juice. Really really disappointing for the price.

- Diego Cardoso (9/5): - Realmente é um experiência incrível,foi inesquecível. Igloo bem apertado.
- Michele (10/5): - Les hôtes étaient très accueillant ils ont rendu service quand il neigeait à venir déneiger notre igloo je recommande fortement cette endroit
- titia (10/5): Séjour exceptionnel je recommandes à tous de vivre ça un jour - C’était magique l’endroit est magnifique Tout nous avons eu un chalet magnifique très bien équipé avec énormément à manger dans le frigo et autre pour dire que normalement c’est que le déjeuner il y’avait largement plus. La nuit Marco a eu la gentillesse de nous déneiger notre igloo pour mieux apercevoir le paysage les hôtes sont au petits soins

Didn’t manage to see the aurora as it was very cloudy that night but manage to catch a beautiful sunrise still! Cottage is very well-stocked and loved the beautiful place ~ Will want to come back and hopefully catch the aurora!
