I thoroughly enjoyed the keto glass cabin with it's own sauna inside. It was clean with towels and slippers waiting. The trails were clear and easily walkable, day or night. Food was good and the wait staff were very friendly. My missing luggage was delivered right to my room as soon as it arrived. I'd stay here again

Despite not being in the high season, with lots of empty rooms available, the hotel staff insisted that the check out time is 10am and was unable to provide a late check-out even if we are willing to pay extra. I can understand if the hotel is really busy, but there were very few rooms occupied during our stay. Also, breakfast was pretty bad too. But the rooms are spacious.

The most unique accommodation for northern lights
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This place is one of a kind with glass dome windows in half of our large suite. There are only two of us, but the place can accommodate at least 6. We saw Northern Lights on our last night there and it was an unforgettable sight for a lifetime. The meals were also delicious, coupled with a variety of activities within the resort, such as snowmobiling, reindeer ride, visiting Santa's home etc. We can't wait to go back again soon!

We stayed for 6 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. We loved the Kelo cabin. Everything about this place made for a very relaxing vacation. We were very satisfied the dining each night. They had four main menus that rotated each day. Our favorite excursion was the dog sledding. We have enthusiastically recommended Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort to all of our friends and family.

Before I made reservations in this hotel I read so many opinions. Some of them was really bad so I afraid book this hotel. But I am so happy I did. Everything was perfect. Everybody was so nice and helpful. Food was delicious especially dinner. I will recommend this hotel ( we spend one night in the igloo) to everyone.

Other than very expensive activities there is nothing to do. It is a beautiful location but very remote. The igloo stay is an experience though and was amazing to view the northern lights.

Not great value for money. Even as a one off exp.
Stunning resort with breathing taking beauty and plenty of activities. But has become extremely expensive lately. I've been just about every year for a decade now, but I think my most recent trip will be my last. I don't think it represents fair value for money anymore. Owners/operators have let the service quality slide quite a bit. Cabins and location are still fantastic. But there are probably other equally impressive locations with far more friendly welcoming, warm service that are not anywhere near as expensive as this place.

I was surprised that there were no Finnish people working at the resort. The dinner was luke warm not hot. The dessert was not as described and had zero flavor. The smoke sauna was an incredible delight. Over all I’d say the facilities need some updating. I believe the price that you are paying to stay here is not for customer service or food quality or facilities but the experience. If you only are seeking a visual delight and cost is not an issue then I would stay here.

Very bad experience, my friend fell and broke her wrist and the hotel did not have any transportation to go to the hospital, they did not have a pain pill, they called the taxi companies and they could not find a taxi, thank God, someone He offered to take us, we also had 2 activities that same day that we couldn't do and they didn't refund our money. When you arrive you have to carry the suitcases yourself to the room, which are super far away. I don't recommend it. He only cares about making money. he doesn't care about the client, the food was terrible
