We have had a fantastic holiday at the aurora retreat. Really friendly place to stay, comfy and cosy with excellent food. Ideal for seeing northern lights, saw them 2 out of the 3 nights we were there. Lots of activities to do during the day too. I will be recommending it to friends and family.

We stayed here with our 2 young children at the start of December. We were keen to do a Santa visit but really didn't like the look of the very commercialized operations in Finland, so this was a better choice. The accommodation is pretty basic, and to be honest, not great value for money. We had anticipated a 'family' room,... More

Not a lot to add to all the praise already given; we had a great time and never felt 'short-changed' on the activities. The food and accommodation were all excellent. Anyone anxious, as I was, about the en-suite compost toilet need not worry, it was perfectly fine! Well done to all the staff who work very hard to ensure the... More

A supposed one off trip to hunt for the Northern Lights we booked the Aurora Retreat in order to avoid some of the very commercial areas. What a find!!! The Aurora Retreat in Junosuando is well away from the crowds, but in a small community so not totally isolated. The Retreat is more country house than smart hotel, so there... More

just back from Lapland we stayed for 3 nights with 4 people..and it was wonderfull, you have to understand that the retreat is 1,5 hour drive from the ice hotel, it is a very small village. But you have so much in return to be there in the middle of nature. The food was good , they only can serve... More

I booked a surprise holiday for my partner for his 50th and decided on Sweden as it was unlike any holiday we have ever taken. We were not disappointed in any shape or form. Aurora Retreat is such a great find - from the moment we arrived at Kiruna airport to our departure 6 days later we have never laughed... More

We stayed at the Aurora Retreat in mid-January and we were very impressed. We were picked up form the Ice Hotel by Sven, who is quiet but very knowledgeable. We were left for 10 minutes when we arrived, but once Mikael showed up, we were welcomed and shown around. The food was plentiful, wholesome and they are brilliant at catering... More

We're a couple at the end of the twenties and we've a.o. already been to Canada, China, Argentina, Kenya and all around Europe. But this was for both of us one of the most amazing, maybe THE most amazing holiday, we ever had. We went there in mid March 2012, when you have an even of day and night which... More

The Aurora, was not such a good experience! The initial impression was disappointing. The entrance to the building was run down and depressing. Although there was a fireplace in the front room, this was not lit and the place felt cold. There was no formal welcome, and we had a sinking feeling when we were shown to our room. Our... More
