Wilderness Hotel Nellim & Igloos

Excellent service, friendly staff and wonderful location. We had breakfast and dinner booked. It was every day a delicious menu with regional emphasis. Spectacular aurora made this visit very special. From arrival to departure a very pleasant experience.

We booked an Adventure week through Discover The World in early March 2025, and while not cheap, it was worth every penny, and simply the best holiday we have ever had! The hotel was beautiful, clean and very warm, and the buffet style food was very varied and extremely good. The staff were all lovely and the guides exceptional, particularly Gabor who deserves a mention for his enthusiasm, information about the area, wildlife and particularly the Aurora hunting! We were lucky enough to see fantastic Aurora displays every night of our stay, and they are truly magical. We had a log cabin with sauna for six nights and an aurora cabin for the last night. Both were clean, warm and comfortable, but the log cabin was better equipped and much more spacious for a longer stay, and the sauna was wonderful to have to relax in after a day of the extremely cold outdoors. The temperature ranged from -5 to -29 while we were there, so a good base layer of merino wool, plus two or three extra layers on top and fleece lined winter walking trousers were a good addition to the padded overalls, boots and mittens that are provided. Good gloves with silk liners, woolen hat, fleeced neck tubes and balaclava are also necessary, with ski goggles good for husky sledging and snowmobiling. I can highly recommend this holiday for anyone wanting something different and a fairly active time.

Extremely well organised; excellent excursions with well informed, dedicated guides; professional and friendly staff; excellent food even though buffet style; drinks a bit pricey but affordable; lovely surroundings; accommodation comfortable and characterful, if a little basic.

The most amazing trip! Hotel was gorgeous, food so tasty and varied and activity guides such great people. The surroundings were out of this world; completely in nature and so much to explore right on your doorstep. Would love to go back one day.

I was staying with my daughter for 1 week in a log suite cabin (Nammi 3). It was really comfortable with a separate balcony-like loft area that feels like 2 bedrooms (although open). It was great to be together but still a bit apart. We also had our own private sauna, that was amazing to warm ourselves up when coming back from the numerous activities. We enjoyed the husky-safari, the raindeer day on the snowmobile and the crosscountry skiing (did it the first time) the most. All the guides were extremely nice and patient and very knowledgeable (thank you Gabor, Helmi and Anthony - sorry couldn‘t remember everybody!). In fact all staff was very friendly and helpful, also at the front desk und at the restaurant. I found the food excellent and of high quality and enjoyed having the selections of a buffet 3 times a day, every time also with a separate section for kids. We were very lucky to see the aurora on three of the seven nights we stayed here. I can absolutely recommend and would be back in a heartbeat.
