We came with a child to the zoo. Location is good if you come with a car. View from window was perfect! Rooms are small and in good condition. Friendly staff, good breakfast.

The place is very nice. You can rent snowmobiles for very good price.

The location was great, close to the bus from/to Rovaniemi. They have a restaurant where you can have drinks or dinner as they are not many things in the surrounding area.

Beautiful view and great activities. We asked to have the igloo at the front which meant we had an uninterrupted view which was amazing. We liked being able to eat at the guesthouse and the friendly staff. Complimentary breakfast was also a bonus. The children in the family that run this property were a lot of fun and very friendly. The staff were helpful and kind.

We loved the location at the frozen lake, the fact that we arranged a husky ride on the lake through the hotel and the free use of the sauna. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. The bus station is just 10min on foot.

The staff was so helpful, cheerful and they go beyond the expectations to help their guests with anything they need. They have a decent sauna, wood fire grill house you can use to do your BBQ and warm up, extra activities provider who gives authentic experiences in a very reasonable prices. I recommend it for Solo/Couple/Group of friends and family travelers. I cant wait to go back again with all my friends! We had a nice Igloo experience.

We had an excellent and memorable stay at Arctic Guesthouse and Igloos - we got engaged here and I couldn’t have asked for a better location. The staff were so helpful when my fiancée was organising the proposal, especially Ella. We booked a husky ride through them and it was amazing with beautiful scenery. The location is fairly remote which was great for us with nice walks nearby but only 5-10 min walk to the nearest supermarket etc. We also visited the zoo which is about 5 mins in a taxi or 40 mins walking. The breakfast was also great and plentiful and the room was comfortable. We also used the sauna and since it was just us it was private. I would recommend anyone to stay here in Ranua and it is much less touristy and more authentic than Rovaniemi. We are already excited to come back amd thank all the staff for an amazing trip!

Everything! If you are lucky enough, you can see auroras without getting out of your igloo!

glass igloo can be pretty cool in summer time, it is quite romantic for a couple to sleep in the igloo actually

Clean, comfortable and charming. perfect distance from the bus station and from the zoo. in fact much less crowded than Rovaniemi with all of the same winter activities. Ranua is a precious little hideaway and this place is perfect to explore the Finnish Lapland. The breakfast is great and the staff is very friendly and warm - always helpful even with small special requests. Do check out their cozy sauna - it is so comforting after a long day’s activities.
