It was a useful location, the room though small had a microwave and kettle plus fridge, and was only 20 metres from washing and cooking facilities.

You’re in the middle of nowhere surrounded by over 100 huskies. How amazing! The dogs are all so kind, you can pet them all. We had a bbq in the communal huts, where you can make your fire and hang out. Good breakfast. It was such a great experience!
Don’t expect luxury though. There is an eco toilet in the cabin, but no kitchen or shower. Washing is done in the sauna, if you need. We prepared our tea on the wood fire in the cabin.

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.
The property is great for a winter wonderland holiday - a nice location close to Ivalo airport, but still in the middle of nature and close to Ivalo River, which is great for aurora hunting. The cabins are very cute and cozy. There is a nice hike that they informed us about that led us to a beautiful viewing point, and they lend you sleds during your stay which was fun. Breakfast is tasty, and the cabins have a water boiler, mini fridge and microwave (on top of a shared kitchen), which makes it easy to make your own meals if you wish to.
This location on the lake was perfect and felt secluded from the town of Ivalo but was not too far away- make sure you have a car. We could book a time to use the sauna (30 euros) as long as we told them when we wanted it ready so there was enough time for it to warm up. We were also able to borrow snowshoes for free. There was a communal kitchen that we were able to use and we had a kettle, microwave, and mini fridge in our room. The beds were very comfortable and it was a small, cozy place to be for a few days.
Location: 300 meters from the bus station, close to many outdoor activities companies, supermarket is right across the road, close to the Ivalo river.
Apartment: just perfect, with everything you might need for longer stays as well, a super comfortable sitting room and fully equipped kitchen.
Check-in: very smooth and we arrived during holiday (owners were not there).
Owners: very kind and available since the day we booked, they also helped us managing one of our outdoor activity with a local company.
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 room was a great size with modern interior, fridge and water kettle. The location is fantastic, right next to Ivalo river. The breakfast buffet, which was included in the price had a variety of options. On top of that the staff was very attentive to my special dietary needs (gluten free).
Excellent value for money! The room was generously sized, cosy and warm with a comfortable bed. The balcony was a welcome touch. Check in was easy and the staff were helpful, kind and had great suggestions! Hotel is in a central location directly adjacent to a large supermarket.
The restaurant of the hotel was amazing. The food and the people working there. It was a nice surprise, we did know about the activities they offered and the amazing landscape but finishing and starting our days with the meals prepared at the restaurant was a great surprise.
Good price/quality hotel. Rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly. Good location in Ivalo next to the river. Free use of equipment such as ski boots, xc skis, and ice skating shoes was a nice bonus. Activities can be booked at the hotel.
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!
We saw the Northern lights on our first night from the hotel
Stuffs are very helpful and nice. They managed early check-in for us
Room was clean and comfy. Bed was very comfortable

Good location between Inari and Ivalo. Comfortable and nice room in the middle of the forest. Kitchen is clean and you can find all utensils you need. A good spot to see the northern lights. Host is kind and friendly.
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even when my original flight was canceled and I had to take a later one and there was a delay with the airport transfer.
Good location, right opposite the supermarket in Ivalo, kitchen facilities were very good and clean. Comfortable bed, cosy room, friendly staff, good Internet.
