Every part of this stay at Star Arctic was truly amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful, including the driver to/from the airport who told us stories about the Auroras and life as a reindeer herder. The activities were so much fun, huskies were a highlight of the trip. In our last evening, the Northern Lights made a spectacular show and we were greeted with champagne on our return to the room as a special treat on our 25th anniversary. Truly, a once in a lifetime experience!

Great location at a great viewing point for the Northern Lights. Good access to Saariselka ski resort & toboggan run. Food is sub-par, so we ended up going to the village.

This Resort was a pleasant surprise!! While looking for options around Sariselka, there were several choices for glassigloos and resorts. Due to reviews and pricing , I picked this. But I made the best decision This beautiful resort is located on top of a mountain and has ski resort as well. There are beautiful view points up on the hill with a viewing deck. You can have the best views of northern lights ( in the season) here . We stayed in an Aurora cabin and had the best views of northern lights. We could see it from our cabin itself. We also went on a Northen lights mini bus tour , which was an additional activity service available at this resort. Restaurant in the resort has some very tasty limited but very good vegetarian options for dinner . Breakfast was really elaborate with plenty of choices .

We stayed in a glass igloo at Star Arctic Hotel, and the location is absolutely fantastic. 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.

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.
