Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The disappointing reality does not compare with what is portrayed on the Ranua Arctic Igloos website.
There is no transfer of luggage available from the reception office to the igloos/cabins. Guests have to carry or wheel or sled their luggage through snow, ice, mud, depending on weather conditions.
The only attraction that is relatively close to the facility is the wildlife park, but other activities are further away, requiring transportation costs.
If there is insufficient snow, or conditions are too icy, all snow-dependent activities (dog sledding, reindeer rides, horse riding, snowmobiling) are unavailable leaving nothing to do in the area except visit the wildlife park. Better to find accommodation in Rovaniemi to be closer to more activities and tour providers that are available there, as well as the many restaurants in the city center.
Food selection was very limited and poor quality considering the hotel’s self-claimed rating.
In summary, a very expensive and disappointing experience.
