Stayed for a night in an igloo and the service from staff was first class from the moment we were picked up from the train station. Our igloo had great views of the surrounding nature with amazing resort facilities. The spa and sauna was very relaxing and breakfast was delicious. Would stay here again if I return to a Rovaniemi one day.

It was amazing. Although very far from the city and we had a cloudy few days, the spa, amenities and staff were amazing. Everyone was very accommodating and it was very easy to communicate with staff via Whatsapp or in person. The shuttle service was great, the booked tour with the hotel worked perfectly, restaurants were good and it was a great stay. Highly recommend a trip to Aito in the rovaniemi area. A perfect little escape

Arriving at Aito after a long flight was such a relief. Everything was super seamless — transportation was already handled, check-in was easy, and it just made the whole arrival feel really smooth. The staff were amazing. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, and just really on top of everything without it feeling overdone. Watching the Northern Lights from the igloo was definitely a highlight — such a cool experience and something I’ll remember for a long time. Also, the spa was perfect after that much travel. Really calm, well designed, and a great way to reset. Overall, such a beautiful property and really well thought out experience from start to finish. Would absolutely recommend.

We stayed at Aito Igloo & Spa and really enjoyed our time there. The hotel offers several different types of accommodations, and we stayed in the main building, which was comfortable and convenient. The spa area is wonderful, with plenty of options to relax - Jacuzzis, saunas, pools, and cozy lounging spaces. There’s even a cold plunge spot right in the lake, which was such a unique experience. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help. They welcomed us with a hot drink and popcorn, which was a lovely touch, and we were pleasantly surprised to receive a small gift on our last day. The views are stunning no matter which room you stay in, and breakfast was very good. We also had dinner at the hotel each night, and the food was decent and satisfying. We’d definitely recommend Aito Igloo & Spa to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic stay.

It would have been Nice to have some fruit, cut out at the breakfest buffet. And people were sitting very close to the buffet, so it could be difficult to get the Food and juice. The spa was nice, maybe put a sign up to the locker-room(where you change before going to the spa) as we had trouble finding it and just thought it was toilets. Over all, a very fine hotel

This hotel is truly centered around nature, making it the perfect place to relax and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city. They offer areas for sledding, reindeer that you can feed if you purchase food at reception, a spa with two complimentary hours per day, as well as outdoor and reception firepit areas. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and cozy, although I wish there were more luggage storage options and a thermometer for better temperature control. Breakfast is included (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM) and is served buffet-style. While it’s not very large, it offers enough variety to start your day off well. There are two restaurants: one casual dining option with great salmon soup, and another more à la carte experience. The river view is stunning (especially frozen in March), and there’s even a spot for an icy dip if you’re feeling brave. You can sometimes see the Northern Lights from the hotel if the sky is clear, though excursions are still recommended due to some light pollution. The staff is very friendly, and their WhatsApp service is a big plus. You can also book excursions directly with the hotel, which is helpful since many tours don’t pick up there. They offer shuttle service to the airport, Santa Claus Village, and downtown Rovaniemi. The only downside was some communication challenges with spa staff for international guests, which could be improved. Aside from that, we loved everything. It’s a bit pricey but definitely worth it.

We had a mixed stay. The biggest positive was the staff, everyone was warm and helpful, especially Anika, who went above and beyond, and Gabriel, an excellent guide who made the excursions enjoyable. The setting is beautiful, the spa is nice, and airport transfers were convenient. However, there were major issues. The treehouse is extremely small and felt claustrophobic even with three people. Food was a serious problem, despite written confirmation months ahead that our dietary needs could be met, we were told four days before arrival that they couldn’t. Given the remote location and severe allergies in our group, this was very stressful and unacceptable. Portions were small for the price, breakfast options for non-meat eaters were very limited, and no manager was ever available to speak with us. We also had a negative spa experience due to other guests disrupting a reserved booking, with no follow-up from management. Overall, the staff on the ground were the only real highlight, trying their best despite poor management.
