I start by saying this is a really great experience and I am glad we stayed, you only need 1 night (like us) then go on somewhere else - we did 3 hotels in 4 nights (see other reviews). What's good - Beautiful carvings, the experience. Dinner was nice but expensive, a great ice dining room. What's poor - I... More

This hotel is a huge joke and I would not recommend it to anyone -- unless you enjoy camping like amenities, staying in the middle of no where, dealing with rude staff, and sleeping in dirty sleeping bags. Go to the Ice Hotel in Sweden if you want to have a vacation. The ice hotel in Sweden is lovely. Anyone... More

We were married in the Ice Chapel at Lainio on 8th Feb 2012...such a unique and stunning place. Heini at Lainio was so helpful, efficient and professional, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The Ceremony is brief, but all our guests were moved by the place and the experience...we then stayed in the 'tepee'...actually a small but luxurious stone and wooden built... More

We travelled to the Laino Snow Village for our Dec 20th wedding. The staff could not have been kinder or more helpful & Heini the wedding co-ordinator was brilliant. The ice hotel itself was AMAZING! I was stunned how impressive it was, the sculptures were so detailed (one an eye was a bit scary!). The bar was even cooler, even... More

We wanted to do a holiday a bit different than usual this time and came out with Finish Lapland. We did not know what to expect but already from the very beginning when asking information throught the website, the staff (Heini) provided us with a lot of information and with a lot of suggestions for activities. We stayed beginning March... More

We stayed at Lainio Snow Village for one night as part of a package to Finland. We'd always wanted to stay at an ice hotel and were not disappointed! We were given a full tour of the hotel when we arrived as well as the warm rooms. We were then given outer suits, but no other gear was offered so... More
