Great value for the price, very nice staff, great location in quiet place near the lake. Not far from the Ranua Zoo. A small cantin onsite, where you can get lunch or dinner and a glass of beer. The room was small and cosy, would be great to have conditioner but there was a little ventilator.

Great value for price

Bathroom has black mold. Room window was open when we first arrived so the smell sank in only after we closed it, which was luckily only a couple of minutes into our visit. Then we saw the situation, which was terrible. Also bathroom light switch was on the wall next to the shower head, and it would've gotten wet when showering.
Obviously, would not sleep in a room with mold -> trip to reception. Receptionist immediately was apologetic and acknowleged the mold, saying that it is an issue and repairs are due. We wanted a refund, but they had to call and ask the owner.
Owner arrived. In short: we had to pay for the first night, got the rest back in cash (no receipt) and after a long discussion their statement is: not mold but detergent stains/residue which just keeps coming back and back. Owner was extremely rude.

Hard pass.

Hard pass, mold.

Beautiful setting and such warm hospitality! Cozy Igloos and delicious food at the restaurant. Inn keepers are very welcoming and helpful. Lupland Adventures on the property offers fabulous tours with same welcoming experience! Would love to come again!

Beautiful

We had a perfect, though short stay in the guesthouse. The room was comfortable and warm, the breakfast was tasty and hearty, WiFi was working fine. But the main thing was the LAKE !!! There are ski tracks for cross-country skiing just by the guesthouse, we just didn't have enough time to check if they circumnavigate the whole lake (which is quite big). And... there is fish under the thick ice!!! We spent a couple of lucky hours :D and had a nice picnic on the ice, thank you, Antti!
One more thing - the guesthouse stands in a mysterious place - you fall asleep as soon as you put your head down :)
I wish to come back in summer, then in winter, then again in summer and again in winter...

The real winter!!!

I was expecting the location to be further away from town, but it was right next to the road. There is not much around for food options and tours, you have to go through them. I wish the dog sledding was more than just around the lake. The snowmobiling was awesome. The showers need a big update.

Place has a common toilet and shower in the hallway
Not value for money 
After requesting that I need a room with toilet and bath they moved me into a very small room 
Only good thing about the guest house is that the reception was good
Morning breakfast is same all 4 days no change has decreased in the items but same food

Not value for money at all Service from hanah was excellent but amenities like bath room are non existent till you ask for it they are all communal which is big no noSame breakfast every day which is no

Worst experience ever. We decided to stay two nights in the glass iglo. There is no shower in the iglo, no fridge (both was listed in the description). We only have one eco toilet (meaning no water toilet) and we need to go inside the mainbuilding (notice it is minus 30 degrees outside). There is only one toilet downstairs and yesterday there was no toilet paper for the whole evening and it smelled like urine.  The stove was broken, the water tank was not filled, the blanket cover beneath the bed was dirty. Furthermore, the breakfast times are not really tourist friendly. Breakfast starts at 8am. The activities mostly start around 9 in Rovaniemi. You have to drive around 1 - 1 1/2 hours when its snowing... so good luck. Yes, they are friendly sometimes and provide earlier breakfast, but not everything is ready by them. Meaning you pay 395€ for a very very simple Breakfast. Now, the windows are full of ice, so we are not able to get a view of the northern lights. When we asked the staff. They came, punched against the ice and then said: sorry, we cannot do anything. Never again! I am so furious. This is not worth the money at all.

It is hard to express in words how special this trip was for me. I decided to do a solo trip but was only planning to stay at the Arctic Guesthouse & Igloos in Ranua for 3 nights. I was warmly welcomed and all the staff made it so easy for my decision to stay another 7 more days. They helped arrange husky riding right there on the property and two brothers helped arrange all my adventures from northern light hunting, snowmobiling, to ice fishing. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend staying here. I have a new Finnish family now. :)

Special Solo Trip  

Nice place with lovely scenery in a wooden ancient house, good size room for 4 people, although shared-toilet and shower, but it is not an important thing. Breakfast is included. We also booked husky sleigh, amazing experience! Thanks.
