Riesenpotenzial, leider nicht ausgeschöpft
Pros:

Fantastische Blockhütte mitten im Wald. Totales Hüttenfeeling. Trotzdem aller Komfort vorhanden. Sogar Cheminee und eigene Sauna.

Cons:

Auf Booking war vermerkt: Restaurant vorhanden und Frühstück inbegriffen. Restaurant war geschlossen, Frühstück wurde in einer Box bei Eintreffen abgegeben. Immerhin: da ich mit dem Bike unterwegs war, hungrig und nass, gab es eine Gratis-Frühstückbox als Nachtessen …

Pros:

Very nice resort. Top service.

Cons:

Pricey esp if you don’t get to see the aurora or starry nights… not sure why they are strict about the number of people in the igloo since you already pay more for a bigger igloo than a smaller one

Before I selecting this property , I heard very mixed reviews . But I preferred to choose this property and wanted to ex
Pros:

Prompt customer service , the location , igloo and northern lights

Cons:

I deduct just 1 point for two things

1) I think if they can put some more details identification on the road to guide the guests how to reach their room would be great . For example room no 13 to 34 this side or planetorium right or west igloo left by putting arrow etc . We almost lost to find our accommodation.

2) A dressing mirror would be appreciable in the rooms 😃

Pros:

What is not to like about a beautiful igloo with amazing views and an inroom sauna. We LOVED our stay.

Cons:

the night horse aurora hunt was disappointing for the price. We didn't expect to see the aurora and that was okay, but it was a bit difficult to open the bottle of bubbles and drink while the sleigh was moving. It would have been much better to have a designated stop to enjoy the drink and bikkies provided. It did affirm our thoughts that we preferred activities in daylight when you can see the beautiful scenery . The snow mobiles were amazing and we loved every second of that experience.

Pros:

Bellissima struttura, camere grandi e accoglienti, arredata bene, tante attività all'interno tra animali, distilleria e negozio, personale gentile e disponibile

Cons:

Cena da migliorare, menu da bambini con cose non da bambini, tutto fritto. Cena degli adulti da rivedere per quello che si paga. Colazione buona e varia

Pros:

Il posto è magico! Abbiamo dormito in un Kelo Glass Igloo, eravamo in 3 ed è molto comodo. La colazione era buona e il personale molto gentile. Ma secondo me la cosa più bella è proprio il posto, ti da un senso di tranquillità e pace! Abbiamo anche organizzato delle escursioni con la struttura (Husky, Motoslitte e Aurora) e le consiglio.

Cons:

Avevamo la cena compresa, terribile! Non si può includere una cena del genere in un posto così. Meglio non averla.
