Pricey but Truly Worth It – Magical Igloo Experience
Pros:

A bit on the pricey side, but absolutely worth the experience. The igloos were spacious, comfortable, and well-designed, making the stay both unique and relaxing.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast spread was great with plenty of options. We were also pleasantly surprised with a complimentary main course for dinner, which was a nice added touch.
The highlight of our stay was being able to see the Northern Lights right from our igloo on the second night, an unforgettable and magical experience.
Overall, a once-in-a-lifetime stay that I would highly recommend.

Cons:

It would be better if they had buggy to transport guest from igloos to the main reception building. Currently they only have buggy to transport luggage.

Great for access to Santa's Village, we still had snow on the ground (beginning of April) and we had the northern lights. Staff were friendly.

An unforgettable stay
Pros:

We had such a great stay at Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle. The location couldn’t be better, just a short walk to Santa Claus Village, which made everything super easy and convenient.

The room itself was amazing, especially the glass roof which made the whole experience feel really special. The sauna was great and perfect after a long day out in the cold.

The staff were all very kind and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options, and dinner was also really impressive, especially with the complimentary main course.

Overall, a fantastic experience that we’d definitely recommend.

Cons:

Honestly, there wasn’t anything we didn’t like during our stay.

Değerli olduğunuzu hissettiğiniz çok ama çok keyifli bir otel
Pros:

Ücretsiz erken checkin ve geç check out imkanı sunuldu, personel aşırı kibar ve yardımsever. Yattığımız yerden yıldızları izlememiz muhteşemdi, bavullarımızın taşınması için araç temin etmeleri çok yardımcı oldu. Odada sauna olması zaten en sevdiğimiz şey oldu, kahvaltısı çok iyiydi eşim Marc donutlara bayıldı ve kahvaltıda Türk yoğurt olması, yoğurdun Yunanistan’dan geldiğini düşünen eşim için yoğurdun Türkiye’den olduğunun kanıtı oldu:) Biz burayı canım bitanem eşim Marc’la çok sevdik

Cons:

Bir hayvansever olarak odada ren geyiği postu görmek ve kahvaltı masalarında gerçek olduğunu söyledikleri ren geyiği boynuzu görmek beni üzdü. Keşke dünyayı değiştirebilsem bu konuda ama bu imkansız. Bu yüzden puan kırmak haksızlık olurdu .. Gerçek hayvansever bir dünya diliyorum

キートス！！
Pros:

プライベートサウナ最高でした！
部屋から出て雪へダイブ！整いました。
オーロラは天候が悪く見れませんでしたが，サウナとサンタ村でのアクティビティが楽しめて充実した1日になりました。
チェックインの予定時刻前にかなり早く着きましたが、タイミングが良かったのかチェックインの準備が整っていたためすぐご案内してくれました。
スタッフさんもすごく優しかったです。
またこちらのサイトで朝食付きプランを予約しましたが、なんとディナーまでついてきました！とても美味しかったです！

Cons:

とてもいいホテルでした。
欲をいえば
サンタ村インフォメーションからは徒歩20分ほどかかるため、雪道のなかキャリーケースを運ぶのは大変でした。
事前に自分が調べておけばよかったことですが、案内があると嬉しかったです。
