Aurora Village Ivalo arvostelua

Phenomenal. We absolutely loved it! What a unique experience, one we will always remember. Staying in Ivalo instead of the more touristy Rovaniemi is one of the best decisions we made on our trip, and we’re so glad we chose Aurora! The property is gorgeous, with great access to views and nature trails. The cabins are beautiful, everything perfectly clean, our bed was very comfortable, and of course the ability to sleep under the stars (and northern lights) is amazing. The staff was wonderful — very warm and accommodating, organized and professional, nimble to change plans when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Special shout out to our snowmobiling guide Marcus, who was so friendly and great at explaining the science of the northern lights! And the food — we loved it! Our compliments to the chefs. They were very accommodating to our dietary needs, and we especially loved the generous breakfast buffet. My advice to guests is to stay for at least three nights (but we easily would have enjoyed 4-5) because that improves your chances of seeing the northern lights, and there are SO many activities to keep you busy. I also recommend booking your activities early (like: months in advance) if you are visiting during high winter season, so you have flexibility to design your preferred itinerary. Our only (tiny) suggestion for the hotel is to consider adding reading lights on the beds. But truly, this is such a special place and we would recommend it to anyone!
