The best place we’ve ever stayed! Such a great complex with very helpful staff.

My cabin was freezing. I would say this is an average hotel but you’re paying for the
Possibility of seeing the lights from your room. The food options weren’t great. There were too many families so that tempered the romance for a lot
Of the couples there. However, our guides
For the activities were phenomenal.

Amazing and special place. Food is great, staff are friendly, experiences are fun. Wifi is the only thing I wish could improve.

Staffs are so kind. But, they didn't answer for my question by email until my arrival.

Aurora cabin was a likeable place to quiet down and if the weather permits, you’ll see the lights from your cabin.
But there was no curtains for day time and it feels very bright to be in the cabin to rest. The room service tablet wasn’t working and was never replaced with new ones.
When we went there, the snow was powdery and not good for any snow activities but after a frw days of snowing, there were snow mobile activities and we missed the chance as we didn’t know that it was available on the day. Would be nice if did the snow mobile.
Food was very delicious 👍

Simply fabulous

Great place really well run. Super helpful and friendly staff.
We stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 in cabin 17, which was great. Cabins 1 to 20 are at the northern most edge of the resort, so you have nice views north of trees and the aurora, and not looking at the backs of more cabins.
Top tip, there is a path not shown on the map from opposite cabin 17 direct to reception.
First morning we went to reception and arranged activities for every day with the super helpful staff there – snowmobiling, dog sledging, reindeer sleigh ride, and aurora lake trip, all of which were great fun.
Good views of the aurora from the warmth and comfort of our cabin when the clouds cleared. Views from the lake (and on route to the lake) were even better due to darker skies.
Thanx to Lancashire Matt for a great fun snowmobile ride along interesting back route paths on Lynx 600cc snowmobiles – they were pretty easy to drive, with no gears and lovely heated grips.
Dog sledging was with 5 dogs pulling, one person sitting in the sledge and the other driving / hanging on for dear life :-D Swapped driver and passenger half way. Lovely scenery, but very chilly, so I'd recommend wearing a ski mask.
Reindeer sleigh ride was nice and sedate, at walking pace, nicely wrapped up warm, again through nice scenery.
Transfer from and to airport was organised by the hotel for 70 Euros each way. Contact the resort in advance to request transfer. The office is not manned at weekends, so contact them in advance on

The Northern Lights village was a great property. Mother nature didn't cooperate with Northern Lights but it was a good stay. Travelers should note that this property is closed for the summer and opens in September and runs with limited staff and services until the busy season starts in November. Cabins were amazing, food was very good and staff was very friendly so would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. Most activities were right on site making them very convenient. Activity costs were a little on the high side.

Northern lights hotel was beautiful and cozy, and the staff arranged the most wonderful aurora and husky sledding trips. Breakfast was delicious and the cabins were clean and lovely!

We had a nice stay at Northern Lights Village Saariselkä. The resort is conveniently located at walking distance from Saariselkä village, yet with a good level of privacy. Also parking next to the main building worked well for us and we were able to drive our luggage all the way to our "iglu". The iglus are new and in a good condition. There are no curtains which might make it difficult to sleep when there's a lot of sunlight. Also the AC makes some noice at night but when you turn it off, it gets too cold (in winter time). Food was ok but nothing special - except the NYE buffet which was quite nice. The staff were friendly but we didn't have much contact with them. Overall, a good experience and would consider coming back when in Saariselkä.

Hotel was really nice and located just outside of Saariselkä center. All the aurora cabins were placed so that visitors have their own privacy. Hotel lobby and restaurant had great decor so the atmosphere was amazing. Food and service was good, staff was really helpful and friedly!
I’ll definately want to visit this place again!

Was a great holiday, until they forgot to schedule a driver for departing airport transfer - making the return trip very stressful.

1.0
To start- issue w pick up from airport. I let it go took public bus but the hotel interrogated me about it & no apologies- unprofessional. I’ve taken hundreds of trips rarely leave reviews bc never had an experience this bad.
Aside from Finnair losing ALL my luggage, hotel was not sympathetic, did nothing to try to help. This is a “high end resort” Mind you!
I’ve stayed in hostels w much better service.
They don’t have luggage service anyway I saw elderly guests lugging their luggage far away to their cabins in the snow in the cold...
Front desk is full of foreign employees who know nothing about proper customer service / communication.
Obviously there are serious issues w management.
Most of the staff stand around conversate w one another...
None of the employees in the hotel greet the guests as they arrive/leave.
Most of the servers in the restaurant don’t greet guests, aren’t attentive do not tidy up tables or food areas well.
Cabins are adorable, scenery is beautiful but the cabins are too close together, you have zero privacy as everyone can see inside the glass.
Many hairs all over my bedding & floors. The wool blanket on the bed was never washed.
I understand the hot water conservation/toilet/plumbing situation (eco-friendly) will let that go but inconvenience.
Didn’t go to sauna but I heard negative things.
Food was mediocre not many options.
My driver Aleksi was awesome so was the reindeer guy (both Finnish)
My friend also was unimpressed

Wifi went down quite often. Whenever it went down, we could not contact front desk. We need to call via mobile. Then were given buzzer for the aurora alert. Its also not working.... But the cabin was very nice and cosy.

Very little privacy, the aurora huts are lined up in rows and if you standing everyone outside can see right into the hut. The place was clean and comfortable overall but the site had far too much light pollution from the hotel and the town of Saariselka for northern lights viewing. It was more of a tourist trap than anything else. We much preferred the Aurora Village in Ivalo which seemed to be more of a family run place, with privacy in the aurora huts and far less light pollution.

We have a room to check in early, but the in-room WiFi is not that good, we cannot use the tablet service provided. The breakfast is awesome with variety but dinner is not that recommended. Luckily We joined the tour for hunting northern light, else we don’t know where is good place to shot northern light even the strength is weak. The husky ride also good to join
2.5
We are so lucky to see northern lights at a clear sky night in the village. It is not a strong one but we could see it clearly in the camera. The village itself has organised wide range of activities. The northern light hunting tour is a must to join, in case of a good weather in forecast. The price of the activities maybe slightly higher in general, but I do think it is worthwhile to join.

Lovely place to stay. Staff very friendly . We didnt like the fact we were charged to have our bags taken to our room. There was also a charge to use the sauna and for the alarm for the northern lights. 15 euro per night. A bit pricey we thought.

I loved the staff, and excursions offered. The only thing the property lacks is a wider variety for dinner.

Everything was great and incredible. Me and my husband had a really wonderful time at this place including the activities and all staffs were really helpful and friendly.

What a amazing experience, seen the Northern lights from the cabin, the cabins are lovely and the views are amazing. we had a meal in the Ice restaurant which was also lovely. the trip they run are all well priced for the area and pick you up from reception. the only thing what lets it down is the food choice.
