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!

Amazing experience, highly recommended. If you're looking to experience Glass Igloos in Lapland, look no further, they are extremely equipped with excellent amenities and very comfortable! The breakfast and dinner were amazing too!

Had personally visited a few igloo cottages but this one is the best.. they gave designed the entire property keeping guests preferences in mind.. Great dinner spread too.

Wifi went down quite often. Whenever it went down, we could not contact front desk. We need to call via mobile. Then we're given buzzer for the aurora alert. It's 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.
