It's great that they offer transfer to and from the resort, the resort is beautiful and the spa is very good. The only downside was the food at dinner, very poor presentation and not very tasty.

The igloos were a fun experience, but similar to glamping - no shower, and a compostable toilet that wasn’t changed during our 3 night stay. Our bed also was only made for the first time on our last night. There was also a carafe of water in your room that you had to refill yourself during your stay, and reception rarely had water, so it felt like it was hard to come by. Service was also not 5 star quality - they would serve multiple customers at once (instead of dealing with one issue and moving on) and then speak openly about other guests problems in front of customers. We had a 4pm check in and when we returned to reception at 5pm, we had to wait 20 mins while the staff got distracted on another guests issue before they could check our room and let us in (we arrived at the hotel at 1pm). The hotel is very remote so I’d advise bringing your own snacks, because if you miss lunch, there’s nothing to eat until dinner at 5pm. The food however was delicious and felt 5* (albeit a little pricey). We also wished the aurora bar was open more nights after dinner - they didn’t say when it would be open but is a nice place to have a drink and roast some marshmallows. The spa facilities were good and it was fairly quiet during our stay. Would recommend Baba Husky’s Husky ride as an activity - you just need to organise a transfer (you have to pay) out of the resort to nearby Santa Claus village. That was the highlight of our stay.

We choose to stay in the igloo upon viewing the room is was not as listed on Expedia. I advised the hotel of this and they didn’t offer a solution. I asked if we could go into a lesser room with based facilities. I was told I couldn’t get my money back. This is not acceptable.

The location was superb and so were the facilities. However, there is no management to guide the young staff left alone to run the hotel.....there is also more to be done on clearly stating the local activities and prices....the restaurant menu, especially lunch need to be a more varied if you are staying for more than two days. Airport pickup is chaotic and overal management needs to be improved.

Treehouse not worth the price

Stayed in one of the treehouses for one night and took advantage of the spa. The novelty wears off once you realize you can’t control the temp of your room. The spa was fine but already needed had some wear and tear despite being relatively new. American style breakfast want worth waking up in the dark for.

Let's start with the good. We came to see the aurora borealis and we were able to accomplish our goal. There are a few staff members that are exceptionally well and if they staffed the entire property with these three staff members and then it would be exceptional. The staff were Andrea, Tree who worked as the manager in dining and Patty the manager. The property is missing the details that make it qualify to be a 5-star. First five star properties have five star customer service and that was significantly missed at this property. For example, Manus, in the dining needs customer service training. He acted as if we were in inconvenience and was unaccommodating. Having a limit on visiting the spa facilities is insane when that's all you can really do in property and when you're paying 1400/ night. The rooms should have closet space and room for luggages. There should be room service. House keeping should make up beds daily and supply cold water in rooms. There should be a transport buggy for moving around the property in the cold. Lastly, when the Aurora is out, turn the lights down on property to make it easier for guest to see and enjoy. I was assured the property will make improvements by next year so hopefully others will have a different experience. If none of these details matter to you, you'll have a great time.

Absolutely beautiful, highly recommend. We cant wait to go back . The only things would suggest and not a criticism at all , but a mirror in the bedroom area would have been nice and a wider choice of lunch time menu, but understand they are keeping to traditional cuisine. A coffee lounge area would have have been amazinv give. The location . Honestly the best place i have ever visited . YOU HAVE TO GO !!

It's a Wonderful Gem hidden in Lapland. The front staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa was amazing, relaxing, and beautiful. The salmon soup for lunch was amazing and delicious. The fine dining was a bit understaffed, but the staff was lovely and made up for the long wait. We enjoyed the Aurora Tree House—it was beautiful. Our tip would be to add some amenities to the hotel room, like a vanity set, dental set, etc. We loved this place!

Amazing stay

The service was excellent, breakfast was amazing. Beautiful location, very relaxing. Patti was very helpful. Being newly open I’d say they need a few extra things to explain how some items worked. We stayed in the Nest and without remembering all the explanations, we may have had some difficulty.

Great day and night spent at the Aito Igloo Resort in the quite and beautiful landscape surrounded by snow, the forest and the lake. Very nice the spa formula included in the accomodation. We also had the possibility to have a dinner inside the restaurant and it was delicious. I suggest to improve the toilet space in the Igloo since it's quite small and difficult to be used.
