  : All was very accessible: the place itself, the room, the restaurant. Comfort and up-to-dateness were just under the limit, but the service was friendly and the room just comfy enough for one night's stay.
  : The bed was really small (narrow).

  : Nothing, this was a horrible experience and we were forced to stay as they would not provide us a refund to stay somewhere else !
  : The room was full of diesel fumes, very very strong!! They heat the domes by diesel heater and have the exhaust fumes comeing back into the room instead of being pumped outside. No one should be forced to sleep in this! I'm still horrified by this experince, they refunsed to give us a refund after we made it very clear we will not sleep in diesel fumes, they still refused to refund. I'm disgusted with the experince.Ontop if this , the water was not working, there were no pots, pans, Cutlery or plate Wear so the kitchen could not be used at all....... the toilet did not work and they could not fix it at the time so we had no toilet. I am waiting for full refund and I will not stop until this situation is resolved! This was a terrible terrible experience for so many reasons. False advertising and health and safety to begin with.

  : We liked the free sauna and found it easy to prebook a time slot. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Shared toilets and showers were quite handy except got very steamy and no ventilating. Rooms were really warm. Liked having a fridge in our room.
  : Fixtures were all quite dodgy. Our curtain rail came off the wall and electrical outlets and extension plugs were a bit scary! Some of the single beds had a narrower base than mattress making it awkward to sleep on for my roommates. The restaurant closed very early, 7.30pm and as there's not much else around that was not great.

  : Might be excellent option when you lucky enough to see Aurora lights.. Most of the time there is clouds , so only view through the windows is to the frozen lake . I am not recommend this igloos to those traveling with a kids. Igloos are too small, and toilet hasnt have a door , only curtain, we have used a toilet located in a main building
  : Finland local sauna requires reinovation. Second Sauna is OK

  : The idea of a glass igloo is appealing - however be prepared for some space challenges. These igloos obviously have great access in summer to water - so likely will be enticing at that time of year. The beds were great - comfortable. Space for bags minimal - we had to decanter our clothes into our small carryon bags. even then could only have one bag open at a time. There were great subfloor storage for food (like an esky). Advertised to have kitchen - but no cooking utensils really supplied - no plates, bowls, cutlery. Family very happy to allow us to take some from BFast to use later. Issue is no ability to cook as no pots / pans supplied! After a big day out - only option was to eat in the restaurant on site - or have sandwiches only. Thus advertising a little off for what the igloos provide. Family - staff lovely. Very helpful (even with my limited Finnish). Loved the night out hunting for the northern lights. Even if nothing occurs you get a traditional Finnish campfire - food - conversation. Just rug up! My daughter loved patting the husky's as they returned from a run! A visit to the local Arctic zoo is a must!!
  : Toilet. lucky we are smallish. At 5ft 8" i had great difficulty sitting. I would not recommend this to anyone 6ft and above or an older couple (in 70+). It would be too difficult to manage.
