A stunning property with excellent front desk staff and rustic yet beautiful rooms. West village large cabin and kelo igloo rooms were both great. Love the in-room sauna!
Amazing property and experience- and would highly recommend! We came during the off season but the staff were so energetic and accommodating! The reindeer weren’t out yet so they had the hearder put them in the penned section so we could take pictures. Dinner at the resort was fantastic each night! We didn’t get to see the northern lights but the overall experience was 11/10!

Very nice location and comfortable stay. Found couple of staff members to be rude without a reason but overall nice experience.
It was a great experience staying in there in the arctic. We did see the northern lights from the igloo. The staff and the facilities were just amazing. The food is great too. I highly recommend this place.
The lodge was amazing. A perfect place to truly relax unwind and watch nature go by. Plus how can you not be happy when you watch the dog sledders whiz by your window
Fantastic resort! Only one restaurant was open and the food wasn’t great (it was fine, just not great) but everything else made up for it. We stayed in a lovely Kelo-Glass igloo and absolutely loved it. The activities were fun—best were snowmobile, dog sledding and feeding the reindeer.
Had a great stay at the kelo igloo. Glas we chose this for our stay and a great holiday here. Seen the aurora on our first day and appreciate the alarm in cabin and also on the mobile app.
Sauna is great too.
Staffs are super helpful too.
The stay was truly majestic! Walking around in the snow the views of the trees and the accommodation and dining all made it like we stepped into a Hallmark movie
A great place to stay plenty of activities very friendly staff clean accommodations and also very accommodating. Wonderful wonderful wonderful waiter at the restaurant and the food was very good. Breakfast and dinner included. Can’t go wrong.
The staff was incredible. The stay was overall good, the resort is beautiful, though for the price, I expected more. The food left a lot to be desired.
Outstanding and memorable stay. Great adventures, northern lights and family fun. Food options were limited, especially for dinner and the service ended at 9pm, which didn’t work when we were out on a husky adventure and missed out. BUT, the husky adventure was AMAZING! Overall, an incredible stay!
Excellent service, the staff is super nice and helpful, I would recommend them to everyone. Perfect choice and I was able to see northern lights from my igloo. It was a magical experience.
We stayed at the Kelo of West Village and it is very clean and cozy where you have your own sauna, bathroom, kitchen and of course the signature igloo. Staff are very helpful and we’ve also met the owner who’s very friendly and welcoming. We’ve stayed 5 nights and 3 nights with eye-visible northern lights. Oh and I have to mention, dinner is surprisingly delicious!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the keto glass cabin with it's own sauna inside. It was clean with towels and slippers waiting. The trails were clear and easily walkable, day or night. Food was good and the wait staff were very friendly. My missing luggage was delivered right to my room as soon as it arrived. I'd stay here again
What a magical experience.. we love the East village,, it’s quiet and the staff are super friendly and helpful.. from beginning to end we were satisfied with the service, food in the dining area, the bell boy service.. the excursions are in the west side but we love East side more.. we saw the Aurora 3 nights of our 4 nights stay .. and yes their aurora alarm works.. we came here not for the convenience but for the REAL igloo experience and we are glad we did it.. thank you,, our winter vacation was perfect

Other than very expensive activities there is nothing to do. It is a beautiful location but very remote. The igloo stay is an experience though and was amazing to view the northern lights.
An excellent resort with beautiful, cozy cottages that keep you warm even in extreme temperatures as low as -30°C. The entire experience was very well organized, and the in-room firewood setup is a must-try for a charming and authentic touch.
The food is thoughtfully curated, with great consideration for vegetarians, which was a pleasant surprise.
Do note that the resort is in the middle of nowhere, offering unparalleled tranquility — but that also means you should carry some snacks for your room. Stepping out in harsh weather conditions requires caution. Overall, a fantastic stay and highly recommended for anyone seeking a serene Arctic escape!
I just love the glass igloo. it was quite an experience. Waking up seeing the sky. It was beautiful. Miss seeing aurora but the experience is unforgettable. Food was good and staff were ok.
My fiancé and I just stayed one night in one of the West Village igloos and we couldn’t have been happier. From start to finish everything was absolutely incredible! The ladies in reception were lovely, and extremely helpful and informative. The igloo exceeded all of our expectations. After reading a number of reviews with negatives, I have to say I couldn’t possibly disagree more. It’s enchanting. The workers are friendly. The food was fantastic. The igloo clean and so unique!! It was a once in a lifetime experience that I hope to do again.
The staff at receptions are very helpful to arrange all activities for us at last minute booking. Really appreciate. The only comment is to equip the igloo with more accommodation facility such as hook at toilet, bigger bin etc.😊
