Northern Lights Village Saariselkä

We were on half board. Dinner was delicious! We love the dishes cooked by Jussi. He made superb Elk, turkey and berries pies. The aurora cabin was amazing with the window and forest view. Bed was really comfy. All the Staff scored A* for their great services. Reception staff were extremely patient and helpful with all our queries before arrival. They gave us great advice with the link to catch the public bus from Rovaniemi. Told us to alight at Holiday Club and also arranged for transport to pick us up from Holiday Club. They also gave us the best cabin no. 1 :) We signed up for the National Park hike and Aurora camps during our stay. Veeti was our guide for the hike. A young and handsome chap with good potential. He was patient and spoke very good English. Abraham was our passionate, knowledgeable and experienced guide for the Aurora camps. We saw the Northern lights and learnt a lot from him. We enjoyed his friendly company very much. We fully recommend Northern Light Village!

Everything was great. Especially the rooms and activities were very good. It was fascinating to see the aurora lights from our room. All the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. Especially our Greek neighbors Alexandre from the restaurant, Alexandre from Aurora Camp and the Hungarian lady from whose name we forgot were very helpful. We were satisfied with all the activities, all of them were very enjoyable. The food was delicious but the variety was limited, it could have been better in this regard. It is also an advantage that it is 20-25 minutes away from the airport. You can walk to Sariselka nearby and visit. Thank you for everything.

We travelled with our two sons (7 & 4) and stayed 2 nights. The yurt/cabin was fantastic (cozy but still plenty of room for the 4 of us) and we got to see the Northern Lights our first night (second night was too cloudy)! It was incredible! We did the Husky Safari one day which was fantastic - everyone loved it and I would highly recommend! The second day our oldest son did the kids snowmobile experience which he enjoyed and mom/4 year old did the Reindeer experience (1.5 hours). It was perfect. We learned about the reindeer, got to go on a sleigh ride, and got to feed them at the end! Although my son was a bit disappointed that the sleigh didn’t fly and he didn’t get to meet Santa 😂 The food was good quality and they had something for everyone’s taste - including a kids menu. We had a wonderful time and would recommend to friends/family!

We really enjoyed how amicable the staff was. The food at buffet was great too, the selection was not huge but satisfactory and the quality and taste was amazing. We also liked having the activities right at the resort. We particularly loved the husky experience (10km). Aurora alert app provided by NLV was super handy as it alerted all the guests when a live camera spots aurora in the sky. We were lucky and saw it on our 3rd night during dinner. Literally the entire restaurant emptied out as everyone got the alert. I don't think we would have had a clue otherwise as it was quite a faint one.

Everything was perfect. While the room temperature in other hotels we stayed in in Lapland was fixed at 20 degrees, here we were able to adjust it as we wanted. All the staff are very helpful and friendly. When you enter the hotel, you can arrange all the activities with the help of the staff. Seeing the northern lights was amazing!!! It was very enjoyable and easy to walk from the bungalows to the restaurant, to the deers and the huskies.
