Everything about the location was magical. Activities were a bit costly but totally worth the money - dog sled, snowmobiles, reindeer open sleigh ride. Riding the dog sleds was our favorite activity. We stayed 3 nights and that was perfect amount of time to experience the resort and participate in the activities. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Seeing the Northern Lights on our last night was the perfect ending to a "perfect" vacation.

Poor customer service when checking in. Waited for 2 hours to have our room ready. Make complain to staff and she told us is not only us have to wait for 2 hours, it happened to everyone. Because there is a large group of people checked out in the morning and they need time to clean the room. Their under staff issue should not be a cost to the guest. A bit disappointed with the customer service for a highly rated hotel. No action been taken to compensate the time we wasted waiting for the check in. Hopefully the management will improve their customer service and make sure there is enough staff to serve all the guests.
Very clean and a unique experience to stay in the glass igloo.

Unique stay to add to your bucket list. We stayed in the Kelo Igloo and it was totally worth it. After reading mixed reviews, I would definitely recommend it - the accommodation is great, as well as the service. They made us feel welcome since arrival, making everything nice and easy for us. The restaurant meals were really good and they even accommodated for vegan meals. There's plenty of things to do around the area - we did the Husky farm and it was very nice and informative, with coffee and homemade pancakes from the fire. My partner proposed to me next to our kelo igloo in the beautiful autumn forest and it was absolutely magical. Cannot recommend this place enough!

No real area to shop unless you go into town (Sariselka) by taxi. But in town there is a grocery store and other shops and restaurants. Taxi is about 30 euros each way.

“Expensive for the experience, with very disappointing meals”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
The food I would not rate. The dinner was a chicken fillet with frozen vegetables and canned fruits for dessert. We were not provided any options. We were expecting local foods with a traditional take. For the price we paid we were very disappointed as was really looking forward to this whole experience, it was supposedly meant to be the highlight of our trip, but definitely wasn't.
As we travelled in the offseason we were upgraded to the new igloo/cabins which were very spacious and included a sauna, which was a lovely experience to enjoy in Finland.

its a little overpriced, I expect more premium experience for this price. there is no much variety on the food, too basic breakfast menu, no soap in the room first night, heat water ended fast (little things you would let it go if you were in a Ibis -type Hotel) there is no much to do... activities also too expensive for what they deliver.
the Igloos are nice, delivery it what they promised in the picture...the staff is kind and always helpful.

Things were pretty expensive, but it was a resort so that wasn't surprising. Otherwise, the wifi wasn't really working.
A shorter list would be what didn't I like. Everything was pretty great, all in all. A great honeymoon spot.
