Amazing stay at Northern Lights Ranch in Levi, Finland. The service was excellent, and the rooms were very well maintained, making the overall experience comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend booking a room with a jacuzzi — it’s definitely the highlight of the stay and adds a special touch to the experience. The breakfast was also good, with a satisfying variety to start the day. It is a bit pricey for what’s offered, but that’s expected. Igloo-style stays in Finland during winter are generally expensive and don’t always feel proportionate in value. You know what you’re getting into when you plan a winter trip here.

We spent three nights in a room with a view of nature, completely private. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights from our beds one evening. The gym is fantastic, superbly equipped. The restaurant is perfect, and the cathedral-like atmosphere where you can enjoy a complimentary hot drink is a lovely touch. The small ice rink provided a fun 10-minute break. The sauna is perfect, and everything is very clean. Excellent hotel.

A beautiful hotel with delicious food and exceptionally friendly staff. The location is a bit outside the town, so you won't get far without a car or taxi. However, it's perfect for seeing and watching the Northern Lights. The hotel also offers shuttle services. The various activities the hotel often offers free of charge are particularly great, such as ice skating, reindeer feeding, and snowshoeing.
