The hotel is situated high up on the mountain, making it a great spot for viewing the Northern Lights. Although the northern lights activity level wasn’t very strong during our stay, we still really enjoyed the experience and the unique setting. The glass igloo was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The hotel overall felt cosy and relaxing, and the reception staff were especially helpful and friendly, which made our stay even more pleasant. One small issue we encountered was with the roof heating system used to melt snow. When it was left on for a long time, we noticed some water dripping from the ceiling. While it didn’t ruin our stay, it’s something the hotel could look into improving. Overall, it was a memorable stay in a beautiful location, and we would still recommend Star Arctic Hotel to anyone looking for a unique Arctic experience in Saariselkä. ##### Chun Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olga 24 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed here twice already and will be back again!

Food is sub-par, so we ended up going to the village. ##### Karthik Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bobby 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a premium hotel, located atop a hill with amazing views, offering accommodations and a myriad of activities for both couples and families. We had a room with sauna which was well worth it after a cold day full of activities. We area arranged 6 activities via the hotel. Our favorites were day and evening snowmobiling, huskies and snowshoing. There also is a ski slop and tobogganing up hill from the hotel. Take advantage of those. Last but not last, the staff were very attentive, friendly, and accommodating. ##### Bobby Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cagil 29 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Such a great view, we were able to see the northern lights all time while we were staying ##### Cagil Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RENATA 25 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Amazing experience, the staff was very kind and helpful, the hotel is a very friendly atmosphere and excellent service , we hope one day we will be able to come back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1879d397-bf7b-4d85-9134-3a15ac5386d7-1764065930863.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### RENATA Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie 26 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a great stay! ##### Leslie Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ashley 18 Jan 2026 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We did not get to go to this resort because I had to fly back home and be admitted into the hospital due to a chronic terminal illness. I asked if they could kindly give us a credit if we are able to return next year to use at the resort and they said no. I was not asking for a refund or anything like that. Just a credit to use what we’d already paid for if we are able to return next. I would think they would show Someone with this level of serious life threatening illness a little compassion. ##### Ashley Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriele 27 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best resort in Lapland ##### Gabriele Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian 9 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely cabins. ##### Adrian Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### STUART 6 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Arctic adventure An amazing Hotel in a great set in a great position with great trips organised. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8993649521D986F6BF0BD1753EA054BE13D5EB711678091998138.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### STUART Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricardo d 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Grandson ##### Ricardo d Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Himanshu 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dinner options could have been a little better.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eyal 31 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a great say!

We could hear the neighbors in our room in the morning. Stairs up to the bed kind of almost damgerous Lobby is disappointing, only one couch to sit by the fire ##### Genevieve ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Excellent hotel overall. We had the Aurora Cabin. Rooms are extremely comfortable and well thought out. Heated floors, comfortable bed, heated windows for the night sky view. Bathroom well designed. Breakfast is included and there’s plenty to choose from : the usual toast and spreads, cereal, hot food (eggs/bacon/sausages etc), yogurt with plenty of toppings, cheeses and cold cuts, fruit and desserts. Plenty of hot drinks on the machine to choose from and the hot choc was great! Dinner at Kaunis was excellent and well worth trying. Staff extremely polite and friendly. 30 min walk to Saariselka town in the snow. I suggest renting a car. No complaints here and we are already planning our next trip. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia 23 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic sauna rooms We had a great time at this hotel. Our room had a private sauna, which we used several times and really enjoyed. The room was large and comfortable. The hotel itself is located outside of town and a little confusing to get to the first time (especially as it gets dark very early). It's also a higher elevation than the area around it to try and increase Northern Lights viewing. We actually found that did not help us see the Lights, as there was often a lot of fog which blocked the lights. But it wasn't hard for us a drive a short distance for better viewing. The staff was varied. Several went out of their way to be helpful and give advice/suggestions. One or two seemed like we were bothering them when asking questions. Breakfast had a lot of options, but we found the food bland. All in all, we really enjoyed this hotel and would stay here again. ##### Alicia Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori 21 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We arrived during an extreme weather warning. The snowplough was able to support us to get into the car park. When we arrived, we've had a long journey and the receptionist was absolutely wonderful and offered to carry our bags to our cabin. We ate in the restaurant and it was the best meal I've ever eaten in my life. The service was next to Nunn, the waitress and waiter was so attentive And it really made us feel the ease given that we've had a very tricky drive from Levi. The location was absolutely beautiful and was magical. The cabin was kept perfectly warm for when we arrived, and the quality of everything in the cabin was beautiful. We had slippers, fluffy towels, toothbrushes kits . The views were stunning. Sadly, we never got to see the Northern Lights but still sleeping under snowy sky and waking up to Winter Wonderland was magical. The whole experience felt like luxury and after what I can only describe as a terrifying drive it was lovely to be met with such wonderful service and such comfort. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding and the quality of food was out of this world. There was none alcoholic sparkling wine on the breakfast bar to be able to have for breakfast the most amazing smoked salmon and there was such a variety, I couldn't fault the hotel in any area. My partner, however, would tell you that the breakfast needed baked beans. However, this in Norway impacted how lovely our day was Lori, ferried driver in the snow from the uk ##### Lori Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lapland Hotels Pallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kittila-Hotels-Lapland-Hotels-Pallas.h1636406.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilderness Hotel Nangu & Igloos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inari-Hotels-Wilderness-Hotel-Nangu.h24043777.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp Oulanka](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuusamo-Hotels-Basecamp-Oulanka.h37863963.Hotel-Information) > > [Original Sokos Hotel Seurahuone Savonlinna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Savonlinna-Hotels-Sokos-Hotel-Seurahuone-Savonlinna.h5471269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Pyhatunturi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pelkosenniemi-Hotels-Hotel-Pyhatunturi.h2469006.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Tampere City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tampere-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Tampere.h42319016.Hotel-Information) > > [GreenStar Hotel Lahti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lahti-Hotels-Greenstar-Lahti.h38532565.Hotel-Information) > > [Arctic TreeHouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Arctic-TreeHouse-Hotel.h29968502.Hotel-Information) > > [Santasport Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Santasport-Resort.h10107966.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Matts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helsinki-Hotels-Hotel-Matts.h48619516.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilderness Hotel Inari & Igloos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inari-Hotels-Wilderness-Hotel-Inari.h24043653.Hotel-Information) > > [Aito Igloo & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Aito-Igloo-Spa-Resort.h100148946.Hotel-Information) > > [Giellajohka](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inari-Hotels-Giellajohka.h46167000.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilderness Hotel Juutua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inari-Hotels-Tradition-Hotel-Kultahovi.h4675539.Hotel-Information) > > [Kotimaailma Apartments Rovaniemi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Kotimaailma-Apartments-Rovaniemi.h12483914.Hotel-Information) > > [Ounasvaara Lakituvat chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Ounasvaara-Lakituvat-Chalets.h37015323.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel & Spa Resort Järvisydän](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rantasalmi-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Resort-Jarvisydan.h4124455.Hotel-Information) > > [Ranua Resort Arctic Igloos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ranua-Hotels-Arctic-Fox-Igloos.h25782158.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilderness Hotel Muotka & Igloos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sodankyla-Hotels-Wilderness-Hotel-Muotka.h24043751.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapland Hotels Hetta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enontekio-Hotels-Lapland-Hotels-Hetta.h1636390.Hotel-Information) > > [Original Sokos Hotel Kimmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Joensuu-Hotels-Original-Sokos-Hotel-Kimmel.h523661.Hotel-Information) > > [Apukka Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Apukka-Resort.h20059117.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Club Kuusamon Tropiikki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuusamo-Hotels-Holiday-Club-Kuusamon-Tropiikki.h63511.Hotel-Information) > > [Ranua Resort Holiday Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ranua-Hotels-Holiday-Village-Gulo-Gulo.h25782077.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa's Hotel Santa Claus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Santas-Hotel-Santa-Claus.h892285.Hotel-Information) > > [Unity Tampere - A Studio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tampere-Hotels-UNITY-Tampere.h76157587.Hotel-Information) > > [The Baro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inga-Hotels-The-Baro.h65254599.Hotel-Information) ### Packages ---
