I found the location fine. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. I really appreciated the aurora alarm. It alerted us when the Northern Lights was, so we did not miss them. I enjoyed the planetarium movie. It was informative.

amazing experience in lapland
comfortable room aurora view friendly staff
we booked a kelo glass igloo. the room was super clean and cozy. the beds in the glass igloo were adjustable so we sat up comfortably to watch the aurora. the staff were friendly and willing to help.
The dinner had limited vegetarian options. The risotto lacked seasoning. the way back to reception from the igloos was also not clearly marked.
