Wilderness Hotel Nellim & Igloos

Great location in nature made this a perfect location for a get away from it all holiday. Plenty of organised activities in small groups. Home style cooking with different menus at lunch and dinner. Overall an amazing experience that made for a memorable break

This experience was just incredible, I simply can’t recommend it enough. All the guides and staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. We stayed in the log cabin which was lovely and the food was excellent. If you’re thinking about doing a trip like this then I would say look no further!

We had a wonderful week in Nellim, where all our wishes were fulfilled. We were able to see the Northern Lights on three evenings and were deeply impressed. During the first five nights, we slept in a log suite with its own sauna, which was quaint and a**ospheric. The last two nights were spent in an Aurora Suite, where we had an unrestricted view of the Northern Lights. The excursions were well organized, the guides competent and friendly, always on time. We were perfectly equipped with clothing and equipment. A perfect week that we will never forget.

Very friendly staff with nice dinner everyday. The activities every are also very well organized. Highly recommended if you want to to Aurora. The Aurora over Lake Inari is amazing but please prepare enough warm clothings as the nights are cold at -21

We loved our four night stay at the Wilderness Hotel. We stayed in the Arctic Nature Cabin, which was great. All of the activities were well organised and fun, and the guides were friendly and full of interesting information. Food was plentiful and of decent quality. Overall, although expensive we felt it was a truly unique and premium experience.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel. ALL of the staff were so friendly and helpful and the rooms were lovely. The food was fantastic and all of the communal areas were beautifully decorated making the whole place feel warm and cozy. I would highly recommend staying here especially if you want to totally get away from it all as it is in a beautiful natural setting.

Definitely the best winter vocation for the person keen of outdoors and nature. The activity of snow shoeing is so much fun! The guides of adventure activity and the staffs of reception are so friendly ! I visited here in early March 2024 and saw amazing northern light!

An amazing holiday/adventure experience from start to finish! As a family with our 9 year old son, we stayed in a log cabin opposite the tobogganing hill, which he loved daily what 9 year old doesn't love chucking himself down a steep mogul slope for at least two hours a day! We did activities each day - everyone was engaging and well organised - proper value for money. Snow shoe expedition, Reindeer's / snow mobile trip, Huski sledging & Night time snow mobile adventure - all amazing experiences. The guides all deserve 10 out of 10. Food is really good - hotel staff excellent. Equipment & cold weather snow gear good. Amazing time & we saw the Northern lights

Nellim Wilderness Ressort is a perfect location for exploring Lapland. The log suite room we had most of the time is really nice with private sauna, enough space for all your stuff. The Aurora Bubble however is so small, that you can hardly open your suitcase and the windows are often covered with snow/ice so that you might not have full sight on the stars and the aurora (if it's there). The food in the restaurant was excellent - much better than expected. There were some lappish dishes as well - but if you don't stay for longer, you might miss the reindeer stew which would be a puty. The staff was super friendly even if the hotel was fully booked and the rush hours in the restaurant not easy to handle. All the activities were perfectly organized and the guides were really keen of providing a good experience. There is just one critical comment on the pricing: This has been by far the most expensive trip we have ever booked. For the Aurora Bubble but also for the log suite I think the rates are simply too high. Considering the enormous amount that you have to pay for this hotel, there are some really unacceptable charges (that we all refused to pay!): Charging 25 Euros for becoming a member of a WhatsApp group (aurora alert) is a shame and must be for free - especially as this feature is advertised on your homepage Charging for additional towels is a no-go! Charging for the aurora presentation (given twice a week) is not adequate as this is why people come there - should be an additional offer without charges. If you booked a whole adventure week for some thousand Euros, you should be given snowshoes and cross country skis for free (of course only if available, expeditions of course have priority) Reserving the public sauna is fine, but again, it should be free of charge. With all these additional charges you get the impressing that the management wants to "melk" their guests as much as possible - and this is totally unnecessary and annoying. Overall, I would still highly recommend this location.
