We loved our little glass hut with an amazing view of trees and the frozen lake Inari. It was amazing to see the Northern lights through our roof and to use the daytime for cross-country skiing over the lake.

I had a super nice room overlooking the river which was frozen and was used as a road for snow mobiles and pedestrians alike. The bed was comfortable and location was good (about 8 mins from the main bus station, about 12 from the shop). Internet worked well, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly.
This hotel is located along the Ivalo River in Ivalo town center. It offers three buildings for accommodations, free parking and sauna access.

This hotel is exceptionally clean and well-designed. Breakfasts were very good as well. We also ate lunch and dinner at the restaurant and had exceptional meals. I especially liked their sweet potato soup. The two ladies who staffed the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the toilet and the lady on duty immediately fixed it herself. The other lady helped us with our taxi and questions about getting to Inari, the next town with the Sami museum, and advised us about the nightclub. This was a wonderful way to end our excellent trip to Finland!

This location was about 15 min from the town of Ivalo (you need a car to get here). It was a beautiful and quiet location on Lake Inari with lake access. We enjoyed snow shoeing on the frozen lake! Our chalet had 2 bedrooms (two single beds in each room), 1 bathroom (heated floors) that had a sauna attached, a kitchen (coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle), dining table, living room area with a smart tv and access to streaming services (you need to use your own login), and fireplace (wood provided).

Breakfast and dinner were included in our plan during our stay. Both were very good and dinner can be classified as "fine dining". The best thing for the room was that there were no lights around when we were looking out from the windows and thus could see the Northern Lights even in the room. Toiletries in the rooms were just brilliant. Staff were so helpful. Loved the classic type Finnish sauna.

Ivalo is not big, but it is strategically positioned between Rovaniemi and Inari. Amazing location to admire the northern lights and visit Inari. Nature is incredible and it looks less touristy than Rovaniemi.

Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers.
Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers. A great place to take a rest from busy life and see SNOW in time of climate change. The shops in the centre offer everything you may need and even far in the forest your mobile will still get the signal.

We enjoyed watching the northern lights in the outskirts of the city ... Dont expect the colorful northern lights as you see it in the photos and videos in the Internet , mostly it will be in white color only... Ivalo Hotel club nord and northerlightsriders.fi arrange the best tours which we hired. They showed us the lights in the better places around Ivalo and inari... Apart from norther lights, snowmobile, skiing and other sports activities are available but we did not try those things.

Ivalo town as a tourist attraction might not have too much to offer, however, I was going to Inari and spending time there, hence, Ivalo was optimal for accommodation. It is great that the little town has all services needed and several places for grocery shopping. Also good bus connection.

Ivalo is small but includes some lovely nature trails which are lit in winter and have useful information boards. The supermarket sells fabulous camping kit- such well designed and well made things we don't have at home like collapsible silicon sandwich boxes. And lovely wooden cutlery.

We love everything about Aurora Village! Beautiful property and cozy cabin. We couldn’t see aurora, but we enjoyed looking stars while lying down on the bed. A lady at reception was very helpful for finding activities to attend for us, she also arranged take away breakfast for our early checking-out. There is a forest path on the property. It was like walking a winter wonderland!! It’s a very quiet and peaceful place. I highly recommend anyone who is planning to go to Lapland.
Cozy, clean, and comfortable.
It had the necessary items to refrigerate, eat microwaved meals, and had a kettle for hot drinks.
The check-in and check-out method was seamless.
The location is ideal - 6 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from Ivalo, and within 30 minutes to Saariselka and Inari.
P.S. - You only need to drive a few minutes north of Ivalo to see a spectacular showing of the Northern Lights.
Definitely a great deal for the price.
The location at the frozen river was very beautiful. The staff was exceptionally helpful, the guide Tomas was extra kind and most surprisingly he speaks excellent Slovak:) We rented cross-country skis directly at the property and explored the forests and area around which was a breathtaking experience. It is not too far (walking/skiing) to Ivalo city where you can do grocery shopping if you need or buy souvenirs.
The most extraordinary place. Both the surroundings. and the hotel buildings were beautiful. We stayed in the Aurora hut, which was very small but comfortable. The hotel offers a wide variety of additional paid activities with knowledgeable guides. All staff were great and accommodating. We could book private time in the sauna. Breakfast and dinners were outstanding, delicious food and a huge variety of choices.
We had a 2 nights stay in this great hotel.
Our room was very spacious, very clean and nicely decorated with comfortable beds. The sauna from our room was also amazing to have. Breakfast was tasty with many options to choose from. We also had dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious. We enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend this place!
Petteri welcomed us very well in Ivalo. The apartment is very clean, modern and functional (all we need is there). We were able to have several experiences thanks to Petteri: snowmobile, reindeer farm, traditional meals and see the northern lights! We are very happy with our trip to Ivalo, Petteri is a caring and warm person.
The house is very nice. In the middle of the forest, but with other houses in the area.
Very close to the center of Ivalo. There are a lot of beds and they are very nice.
There is Wifi internet which is not to fast, but enough for checking your email.
Abosultely beautiful views from the house. The host was extremely flexible with our arrival and departure times. He assisted us with planning some excursions while we were in Ivalo. Very easy to contact! Would 100% stay there again!
The cabin was so cozy and very warm inside despite winter temperature outside. Breakfast was excellent, I had a lot of fresh vegetables which I did not expect in Lapland during this time of the year.
All staff were kind and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were varied and delicious. Rooms were clean. The night view of the frozen river at the back of the hotel was incredible.
Very clean and comfortable. Great location, near the Ivalo town and airport. The resort area is very nice, next to the river. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
amazing concept . very welcoming hotel with no industrial feeling . had the chance to see the auroras from the igloo and from the outside . absolutely amazing .
Good location, right opposite the supermarket in Ivalo, kitchen facilities were very good and clean. Comfortable bed, cosy room, friendly staff, good Internet.
