Aito Igloo & Spa Resort (Aito Igloo & Spa Resort)

The best place in Rovaniemi, wonderful spa and very friendly staff 💕

My girlfriend and I stayed at Aurora Treehouse for one night in 2-3 December 2025, paying about €800 with hopes of experiencing the northern lights and enjoying a special Finnish getaway. While the concept is lovely, the execution didn't match the premium price point. When we arrived, we found the room wasn't quite ready for guests. The outdoor mattress needed attention, the fridge had leftover food items and stains from previous guests, and the bathroom was not clean. The room phone was broken, which made it difficult to reach reception. The mobile number provided connected to what felt more like a booking agency than the front desk, which was inconvenient. The listing mentioned dinner was included, but we were told upon arrival this wasn't the case. After pointing out the room issues, we received compensation of one main course each at the restaurant. We appreciated the gesture, though we still ended up spending quite a bit at the restaurant, which was decent but nothing exceptional for the price. Everything seemed to come with an additional charge. The spa was nice but fairly standard - similar to what you'd find at regular Finnish spas (Holiday express/Järvisydän) for much less. Extra treatments were pricey at nearly €200 for a 30-minute massage. Even minibar items were quite expensive, with supermarket coffee priced at €8. I wanted to show my girlfriend an authentic Finnish experience, as she's not from Finland. However, we were surprised to find that none of the staff we encountered were Finnish or spoke Finnish. While the staff were professional, it felt more like an international tourist operation than a genuine Lapland experience. We did expect more local character and authenticity that would reflect Finnish hospitality. Instead, the service felt somewhat impersonal, staff were indifferent and their goal seemed only to upsell at every opportunity. We felt quite unvalued as clients and I just cannot describe this as a premium experience. At breakfast, we noticed the milk wasn't being kept properly chilled on a cold plate as standard practice in Finland, which was a bit concerning from a food safety perspective. The breakfast was otherwise nice continental breakfast consistent with all the essentials. We didn't see the aurora during our stay, though this obviously wasn't guaranteed or the hotel's fault. Just a tip for future visitors - even during optimal season and weather in Rovaniemi, sightings aren't certain. If the aurora is your main priority, consider booking a dedicated aurora chasing tour. All things considered, the treehouse concept is charming and the location is around 40 minutes drive from Rovaniemi city centre. There's no underground or roofed parking and we spent a lot of time clearing ice and snow from our car. Overall, we expected more attention to detail, cleaner facilities, better value overall, and a more authentic experience. It's not a bad hotel, but the price feels steep for what you actually receive.

서비스가 좋고 친철함. 사우나가 약간 복잡하고 어려움. 서비스는 정말로 좋음. 몇박 더 묵었으면 조금 더 만족도가 높았을거라 생각함사우나가 아닌 액티비티 위주 리조트로 생각함.

Never expect such a beautiful resort. Away from City but a good location for leisure. Nice breakfast, friendly staffs and a very good service.

Fantastic stay, complimentary airport pick up and drop off was valuable. The staff was helpful and friendly, always willing to help. The igloo was nice and cosy though a bit small.

환상적이고 낭만적인 최고의 숙소입니다. 언제든지 다시 가려고 합니다. 모든 직원들은 가족처럼 친절하고 따뜻합니다. 식사도 매우 훌륭합니다. 혼자만 알고 싶은 숙소입니다.

還可以吧nnnn

在山裡～ 自駕更方便哦！ 沒什麼人，很安靜～ 離開聖誕長者村開車大概半個小時多一點吧 開進酒店的樹林。有種孤獨的美！！也很神祕…… 酒店還有小鹿哦！ 可惜的是這次沒看到極光

酒店周邊餐飲購物方便 設施略顯陳舊 整體服務一般

整個體驗十分好，環境很乾淨，早餐的選擇也不少。
