Cat & Dog Friendly Hotels

"Aurora cabins were super cute and had our own sauna. The food with half board was delicious and the lodge had great access to cross country ski trails. The only thing I wish they had was robes for the room (as often had to run out of the bathroom and everyone can see into your glass room) and a head board so the pillows didn’t keep falling off the bed! Haha"

"We loved everything. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the breakfast buffet."

"This place was amazing from the moment we arrived. Staff were all so lovely and helpful. The accommodation was clean and beds were really comfortable. Views were spectacular and the excursions were all excellent. "

"This place is absolutely incredible! It was renovated late 2025 and the new restaurant etc is beautiful. The food is 10/10, staff amazing and the entire area and facilities are wonderful. Excellent activities available too and you can hire all winter clothing needed for free (if you come in winter). Also very close to Ivalo airport and easy access to Inari and Saariselka as well. Highly recommended! "

"I stayed here for four nights in January and overall it’s a nice hotel. The food (breakfast was free) and dinner were pleasant. If you order from the buffet the food is of course of Finnish delicacy but the à la carte menu is good with lots of options and good prices for food and alcoholic drinks. The rooms themselves are pleasant slightly on the smaller side, but the bathroom is lovely with a great shower. The view from the bedrooms is also lovely, but there’s a couple of things that I could do with improving across the bedrooms. First thing is the glass windows should be one way (so you can see out but you cannot see in). The view outside is so stunning you want to be able to have your curtains open all the time but you can’t because people can see directly in and windows face each other. Secondly, it would be nice to have some more amenities in the room. There was only green tea, in my room. I feel there should be one of every tea(I had to go back into the main dining hall in order to get additional teabags, but these are not supplied as standard during housekeeping). It would also be nice to have small plates / small juices? In the bathroom, something a small as shower caps small set of tweezers et cetera would make for a better experience. One thing I couldn’t stand is the two single beds - I don’t know if there was an option to have one king/queen bed but this option wasn’t provided to me. The separate bed"

"Everything was great, the glass igloo, the food in the restaurant, and the staff!!! We mentioned that we had to leave early for our flight and will not be able to eat breakfast. When we came back to our igloo after a long day full of adventures we were pleasantly surprised to find a bag with sandwiches, fruit, juice and protein bars left for us! An outstanding customer service! Thank you for your hospitality ♥️"

"Staff,breakfast, location, activities."

"Absolutely magical 3-night stay at the Saariselka Wilderness Hotel. Friendly and welcoming staff, excellent food and the private jacuzzi and sauna were a wonderful indulgent treat! Highly recommended, would love to pay a return visit! "

"Hotels.com advertises a games room but there’s no such thing here. Room was nice enough - breakfast was in a very dated room and not great I couldn’t even eat the scrambled eggs as were horrible. Staff gave us incorrect info about airport bus. "
