Ranua Resort Holiday Villas

Location is really bad, take one hour drive to the centre

First of all we really liked the Apartment house. It was very clean and well equiped. The sauna was a big plus for us. The breakfast could definitly offer more choices, especially bread (no bread rolls, only bread) and hot chocolate (wasn't included). Glutenfree breakfast was fine. The communication with the hotel before our stay was really bad. We wanted to book a husky safari and reached out to the hotel a good while before our stay, but we haven't got an answer at all or with about 5 days waiting time. This problem led to the impossibility of participating in a husky safari, which was absolutely frustrating. Even while being there we got different information from different people at the reception. The Safari House bar could definitly be improved, there was no music playing, no real drinks menu (only a few drinks written on a piece of paper), not a nice atmosphere to relax with a good drink. More evening activities (without extra costs) like live music or bar quizes would have been nice. There is not much to do after 18:00 o'clock. The Finnhorse Sleigh Ride was absolutely beautiful and we would recommend that acitivity to everyone. All of the activities are on the expensive side (but they are worth the money), but if you don't book many activities there isn't much to do at the resort. All in all we really liked our stay and would book there again.

This was our second visit to the resort (and the first after Covid) This stay was just as good as our first. We stayed for 4 nights and from landing at the airport to returning to the airport, everything was taken care of by the resort (transfers, activities and accommodation) Great activities, lovely staff and cosy, warm accommodation. We love this resort and would recommend it 100%.

A friend and I stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it, pros just about everything but the food, although dinner every night was very nice, just breakfast and lunch was a let down. We loved the wood cabin, Zoo, snowmobiles, Finnhorse Farm, reindeer farm and the husky trip. They supply warm outer wear.

We had an amazingly 4 night stay! The resort and surrounding area is is just so beautiful. After arriving by mini bus, booked via ranua resort, we checked in. The cabin was lovely and warm, even at -26C! Its well equipped. The sauna is also a must!!! we had also arranged a trip to the supermarket, €20, to get milk etc. We later went to get all our snow suits etc. They kept us warm, even at very low temps, just thermal base layers needed. We did several activities. The evening finnhorse was just magical. The 2hr husky ride was brilliant and the dogs are amazing. We also did the snowmobile trip to the reindeer farm. That was an amazing experience, going across the frozen lake! The view was spectacular! We also went in the zoo a couple of times.We had breakfast included, which was lovely, plenty of choice. We ate in the restaurant twice, both times the food was good. The highlight though was getting the aurora alert( download app via QR code on info sheet from reception) at 3.15am to see the northern lights! Just an amazing sight on our last night. So clear, even with the naked eye! A perfect end to a magical trip for my 50th birthday! 🥰

We stayed in Arctic Fox A for 2 nights. The cabin was huge, comfortable and very well equipped. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were staying on a half board basis. The breakfast (buffet) and dinner (table service) were very good. Drinks were expensive. We had entrance to the zoo included in our stay. This was very good.
