The igloo looked beautiful and was equipped with a portable space heater and electric heater. Our electric heater did not work. The igloo was covered in ice on the inside. We called to ask for extra blankets, heater or alternative room and were denied everything. We asked for them to send someone to see the issue themselves and nobody came. We ended up having to warm up in the car. For spending a lot of money, you would expect their heater work in sub zero weather. We came from Chicago and know what cold is and how heaters work but the staff refused to believe us or provide us with any accommodations to warm up.

This was a truly wonderful property and such a novelty, however some of the facilities were lacking somewhat compared to a hotel, for example space in the shower. Having said that it was perfect for our stay - truly cosy & romantic and we loved it! The electric blanket was a lovely touch!!

The igloo was clean and comfortable and had everything that we needed. Parking was very convenient. The igloo made THE PERFECT place to see the Northern Lights which were right over head! We were able to find everything we needed for food and drinks in nearby Hella. Excellent stay!

It was an amazing experience. The room was cosy with heaters, a heated mattress and cosy lights. We saw the northern lights on display for about 2 hours looking straight out from the comfort of our bed. Highly recommend!

Better signage a to where to locate the "Service Building" especially after nightfall. We arrived within the desired check-in window of 4 pm - 7 pm, but it was pitch back (October 28th) and there were no signs as to which way to proceed at the fork in the road to easily find the Service building and retrieve our key and igloo number.

The aurora was a truly fun experience! I think of it more as clamping instead of a hotel like experience. Nature does come into the igloo. Our igloo did not have clear windows for viewing, so we had to go out and wipe them ourselves. There were also lots of spiders to deal with (including on the bed). Again, it is nature and like camping but I feel like that could have been minimized. Communication and check in was flawless except for the door was hard to open. It is explained but still difficult to open. We enjoyed our stay but would not stay more than one night!
