The hotel offers Glass-roof Aurora Cabins with laser-heated glass roofs directly above plush king-sized beds, as well as Ice Suites built entirely of ice and snow, each featuring hand-carved snow decorations and ice sculptures, accommodating two people and providing thermal sleeping bags.

Guests have praised the staff for their exceptional friendliness and helpfulness, particularly in the reception, restaurant, and as drivers and tour guides, making their stay truly memorable.

Some guests have expressed concerns about the treatment of dogs for the husky experience, the waiting staff's lack of friendliness, the comfort of the beds, the high rates for certain activities, and the 'copy-and-paste' nature of the igloos.

To ensure availability and smooth planning, it's recommended to book activities and experiences offered by the hotel in advance, especially during peak seasons.

Some guests suggested choosing a cabin closer to the main shops in Saariselka for convenience and easy access to walking paths.

Guests highly recommend the unique experience of staying in the Glass-Roof Aurora Cabins to enjoy the starry sky and potential Northern Lights sightings.

While the Buffet Lapland Restaurant is popular, consider trying the unique Ice Bar & Restaurant for a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

If staying in a glass igloo, be mindful of the Aurora Alarm feature and consider using it to catch potential Northern Lights sightings.

For those staying in the Ice Suites, taking advantage of the provided thermal sleeping bags can enhance the experience of spending a night in accommodations made of ice and snow.

Some guests found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful, and they may provide valuable insights and recommendations for activities and experiences.

Some guests expressed concerns about the treatment of dogs during husky experiences, so it's advisable to inquire about the welfare of animals before participating in such activities.

Due to limited space in the glass igloos, consider packing light to ensure a comfortable stay.

While the food received praise, some guests mentioned limited choices and quality, so it's helpful to manage expectations regarding dining options.
