Booked the Aurora Bubble and upon checking in we were advised that there’s no shower in the room. In order to take a shower we had to book a time slot at the sauna (separate building). Incredibly disappointing since this was not clear on the website. The room itself is the smallest room ever, even opening the suitcases was a big struggle. The main feature of our room was the glass dome, and when it snows this gets cleaned by the staff around 6pm. If it snows again, it doesn’t get cleared again. We booked the “Meet the reindeers” and the Snowmobiles tour, they cost €130 pp per tour and are non refundable. Both tours were meant to be 2,5 hours long but the Reindeer one lasted barely just over an hour and was incredibly disappointing. The reindeer farm is only 5 minutes away by sleigh, we got there, fed the reindeers, got told a bit about them, got taken out on a sleigh ride which lasted about 4 to 5 minutes, and then got offered some hot juice. Lastly, we were shown how to catch a reindeer, and that was that… again, €130 pp for that. The snowmobile lasted a couple of hours, but again since only my partner drove the actual snowmobile and I was only a passenger I don’t see how they can charge €130 pp for that. Lastly, the whole place smells like sewers, which is absolutely disgusting while walking to the restaurant. Only positive was the food: the buffet (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was delicious and always somewhat sticking to traditional finnish cuisine.

This was an awesome resort with lots of activities to choose from. We enjoyed the husky sled ride, meet the reindeer, and the Aurora camp. We could see the lights from our bubble room. Absolutely perfect time. Make sure upon arrival though that your get briefed, fitted for a snow jumpsuit and boots, and check board at reception for activity times for the following day.

Wonderful relaxing weekend in the snow.
Gorgeous little cabin, warm and cosy with perfect location. Service good in the main lodge. Food and drinks were expensive. Trips were fun with great guides!

You can’t get away from the fact that everything costs a fortune. Consider bringing a little of your own food/ alcohol. Having said that, one of the best holidays we have ever had. We avoided the husky riding / reindeer sledging because couldn’t find any info on welfare standards but the snowshoeing was great!

Stayed in the Log Cabin Suite. Wonderful cosy room for 2 with a second floor that can sleep more. Could see the huskies returning from their excursions each day. Shower is not enclosed so you have to dry the floor after a bath. Sauna was very spacious. Bed was comfortable with soft pillows. Breakfast buffet was good with a large variety of food, but if you stay more days then it would be repetitive. The potatoes in Lapland are so so good - sweet and perfectly textured, wish I ate more of them.

The Hotel is remote & surrounded by beautiful frozen lakes. The buffet breakfast was very good and also the 3 course evening meal we purchased separately from the room was also very good. Nothing we didn’t like.

Great for glamping under the lights
This was a wonderful experience. We stayed in a bubble and saw the lights from our room. This is glamping so the bed felt more like a cot and the bathroom was like an indoor outhouse but it all worked.

Die Umgebung in der das Hotel liegt ist sehr beeindruckend. Das Essen war sehr gut. Die Aktivitäten sind sehr gut organisiert. - Unser Badezimmer hatte keine Ablagemöglichkeiten, das Wasser der Dusche verbreitete sich auf dem Badezimmerboden. - Die Temperatur im Zimmer und im Bad war nur bedingt regulierbar, abhängig von der Außentemperatur. - Die Sauna, sowie ein zugehöriges Handtuch kosten jeweils extra.

Infrastructures au top mais service décevant
L'aurora bulle est vraiment top ! Le petit déjeuner et le dîner sont également très biens. En revanche, le personnel n'est pas du tout accueillant ( attente pour le check in alors que nous étions les seuls, aucune explication sur le déroulement du dîner, quand on vient poser une question, personne ne lève la tête il faut les interpeller). Nous avions également réserver un créneau de sauna, et le personnel a "oublié" de le mettre en marche sur ce créneau. Résultat pas de sauna pour nous ! La bulle et les repas sont donc très biens mais le service et les prestations annexes sont très décevantes.
