Magical Pond Nature Igloos
10/10 Excellent
" stay at the Magical Pond Igloos was absolutely unforgettable. The property is incredibly unique, with huge panoramic windows that allow you to watch the Northern Lights from the warmth and comfort of your igloo—such a special experience.
The location is stunning, surrounded by peaceful, beautiful scenery that really adds to the magic of the stay. Breakfast was delicious each morning, and the hosts were wonderful—so attentive, welcoming, and thoughtful throughout.
Thank you for such an amazing experience. We will definitely be returning!"
"We had a fantastic stay at Ski-Inn Ruka Valley and would highly recommend it. The accommodation was exceptionally clean, modern, and very well equipped. Having our own private sauna was a real highlight, and the drying racks for ski clothing were incredibly useful after a day on the slopes. The ski locker downstairs for skis and poles made everything so convenient and hassle-free.
The food was excellent throughout our stay, and the customer service truly stood out. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed.
We also really appreciated the clear and helpful instructions sent via text message prior to arrival, which made the whole check-in process smooth and stress-free.
Overall, a brilliant experience — so much so that we’ve already booked to come back next year!"
"Nice size cottage, well maintained, well equipped looking straight out to beach. The bus stop was less than 5 minutes walk. My only problem was that the Internet connection kept dropping out, sometimes for long periods."
"The breakfast was great, lots of choice, a gluten free area and all food labelled well.
The room was clean. It's in a great location.
We didn't get the Queen bed we were expecting and the extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work. The shower was amazing though. Bed was comfy with decent pillows.
We did struggle with the air con, very dry and luckily we had a balcony so could leave the door slightly open which helped a lot.
The hotel staff were lovely, the hotel was absolutely fine. "
"GreenStar Hotel, Oulu was centrally based in downtown Oulu. The shopping center Valkea was just around the corner which had many excellent stores, restaurant's and grocery store where you can buy all necessary products for yourself and family members.
The hotel room was very good and the bed was excellent. The breakfast was very good because it had variety of everything you need. When I come the next time I will reserve a room at GreenStar Hotel. The price was reasonable for the service.
GreenStar is located close to the Railway Station. "
