Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The room with the Swedish stove was very nice. We think it's great that the rooms are not cleaned daily, but on request - this avoids unnecessary towel changes etc.

The sauna in the room is rather small (loungers are not an option!). It takes about an hour to heat up. After that it is pleasant to enjoy.

We had half board, although we thought it was a shame that there is only a 3-course menu and if you want to change a course you pay €5 for the starter and dessert and €10 for the main course. That's a shame, because it can happen that you don't like something.

The food was always very good. However, I would recommend not having half board next time, so you can eat your way through the menu yourself. The service staff were rather reserved but always friendly.

From the hotel you can get to the center quickly and there are lovely excursion options all around.

Stayed a night on our way back South from a week long hike in Muotka. The basic room we booked ahead was very afforable and pleasantly modern. We had previous experience with Santa’s Hotel from their Saariselkä location and it was nowhere near as enjoyable. Everything here was very neat and taken care of, timeless and clean. We enjoyed the sauna in the room, the bed was very comfortable and the basic room had everything we needed. It was bigger than we expected, too. Our only mild complaint was the toilet paper which seemed very cheap and thin.

The breakfast was lacking varierty (ie. no bacon, scrambled eggs etc) but it is off-season and it wasn’t very busy at the hotel so it made sense. Still very enjoyable and tasty breakfast, calm area to eat and pleasant staff.

Overall, our stay was everything we wanted and the price was very affordable considering the quality of the service and the stay in general! The small grocery store and a good restaurant (Punakettu) were within an easy walking distance, too, and we got to park out car right in front of the hotel entrance.

Amazing!
We stayed in one of the igloos & it was fabulous. Small but just what we needed for an amazing family stay. The heated glass roof clears the snow so you can lie & see the stars & aurora, whilst in the cosy igloo.
The main building is lovely & only a very short walk away. The restaurant was really nice offering a good selection of delicious food served by very helpful staff.
The resort itself is small & beautiful, lots of walks & stunning scenery. There is a ski slope which was a 2 minute walk from the back of the hotel.

I would certainly recommend & hope t return one day

Looking at the other reviews I wonder if we are talking about the same hotel... From the entrance you quickly understand: no real reception but a welcome in the corner of the bar... the common areas have an air of the years 60 and the decoration of the same.
No soul… basic room, very soft mattress, empty mini bar and finally cleaning not done on Monday!!! After a complaint, which was of no use... the pseudo reception seemed to find it completely normal that the room was not done: "absolutly" "tomorrow" these are the answers!!! Decent breakfast but not great!! And finally being on half board….serious mistake!! No choice of dishes! I only one starter, one main course and one dessert!!!!! We refused the 2 desserts one evening by asking if we could have a cheese instead, I mean just one cheese, well we were told “yes, no problem” but that would be 5 euros! Great !!! Very commercial!!!
Very, very disappointing….

Santa’s Hotel Aurora in Luosto was the perfect choice for part of our honeymoon. Maria's thoughtful assistance in arranging a beautiful room added an extra touch of magic to our stay. The resort's proximity to the ski resort, just a 5-minute walk away, made it incredibly convenient for us to enjoy the slopes during our visit. The staff's exceptional helpfulness further enhanced our experience, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout our stay. A fantastic place for a romantic getaway coupled with great accessibility to outdoor activities!

This hotel was perfect for myself and my husband to visit Lapland. Lovely location in a small village right next to a ski slope.

Room was extremely clean and so cosy. Having a log fire and a sauna was such a bonus.

We were half board and found a great selection at breakfast, with traditional foods to try. Dinner was 3 courses with no choice for us, it was absolutely delicious.

Staff were so friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome from day 1.

Village had a few shops and restuarants to try, but everything shuts down around 10, and considering it was dark from 3pm. It was nice to sit in the bar which carried on serving drinks or chilling back in your room with your own sauna and log fire.

Lapland Safaris office is right next to the hotel, so just walk over to take your excursions.

included in our holiday at this hotel with Nordic Experience was a night in the glass igloo, we did this on our last night. So luxurious and just perfect.

We stayed in the Igloo room for our honeymoon for two nights. It was completely magical. Nothing we have experienced before. To be clear, it’s not a five star hotel, you’re paying this price for the location, experience and view. The room is small but cozy and has all the basic necessities. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant feels like it’s straight out of a Christmas film. The food and drinks are amazing too. We highly recommend choosing Santa’s Hotel Aurora if you’re confused between various hotels with igloo rooms (like we were). Luosto is easily accessible from Rovaniemi and it’s a beautiful town.

We stayed 5 nights in this hotel. Very well situated (at 1h15 from the airport, at hundred meters from the ski station and very close to all entertainments) in a beautiful wild area. I was travelling with my two daughters, the room offered enough space for 3 and was equipped with its own sauna. It was very clean, comfortable and quiet! We enjoyed our stay, all the more that the staff was awesome, super friendly and very kind. Whereas the reception was not opening before 8am, the staff showed up at 6:30am the day we were leaving just to make sure everything was okay and the taxi we ordered was there ! I really appreciate this kind attention. Breakfast was delicious and the Restaurant outstanding. One of my daughter is vegan, the chief offered different meals to accomodate her diet. This was wonderful vacations in a great place, if I ever go to Luosto again, I will surely look to stay in this hotel again!

We had a lovely time in this hotel. The rooms are cosy and comfortable and the breakfast is nice. The fire in the bar area is lovely to warm up with a hot drink after a cold activity. The staff make this hotel extra special and my grandaughter absolutely loved Rukka who always had lots of time for her and gave her a little trainee elf badge which she was very proud of.
We were made to feel like friends by Rukka and she gave the hotel a warm and welcoming feel.

We came in Dec 2019 for our honeymoon and he hotel gifted us a little glass elf. Since we've gotten it we take it everywhere! We spent money on extra alcohol and gifts because this hotel was so awesome. Our room had its own sauna and the staff had no qualms about me being heavily tattooed and running outside to jump in the snow after the sauna, like a true Finn, they laughed. We didn't cause any disturbances and didn't run through the lobby, but in other places my tattoos have been an issue. Our server for dinner was Maria and she was by far one of the coolest and down to earth servers we had while in Finland. She talked to us about her Sami heritage and recommended some dishes.

On to the hotel itself, breakfast was included and there was a wide variety to choose from. Walls weren't thin, beds were comfortable. TV was a bit far away but we didn't use it. The hotel itself great Christmas decor in the lobby and room. The lobby even had some chairs and board games by the fire for the cold blooded. Lots of info on the bulletin board in the lobby as well. But the staff are what made this for us. If Maria wouldn't have been our server it would've still been a great experience but she really took it over the top for us.

Hi Juliet, yes it is true that the bus only runs at certain timings and you cannot miss it, otherwise you’ll have to wait for a couple of hours. You may find the bus schedule website online (posting guidelines forbid me from sharing the bus link here). For tickets: You can pay the bus driver in cash onboard the bus (not sure if they accept card, as we paid in cash). The bus stops directly in front of Santa’s Aurora Hotel so it’s very convenient, and brings you directly back to the airport/train station too. Just be sure to inform your driver that you are staying at Santa’s so he can let you know when you’ve reached!
