Aurora River Camp Glass Igloos & Cabins

We enjoyed our igloo stay, but we did not get to see the northern lights 🙁 nonetheless the sky was very starry and we got to watch the stars instead. The area is very pretty in the day with pink and orange skies. The host is very friendly and hospitable, he picked us up at the train station (upon our request), and even made a stop at the supermarket so we could get our dinner. The room is very clean and there is just a dry toilet. If you want to shower you have to walk to the common area where there is a proper toilet. Recommended!

玻璃屋非常好看，雖然我們衹住了一天。但是運氣很好，新年的第一天正好遇到極光大爆發。管理人也非常友好，因為在離市區比較遠的地方，有接送非常方便。比起其他地方的玻璃屋，性價比非常高。

Stayed here in end December 2024 as a couple. About 20 minutes drive from the Kiruna Airport as this property is located into the forest area near the Torne river and a 10-15 min drive from the City Centre where you can visit various restaurants, malls, shopping centers and grocery stores. We reached by flight an evening prior and stayed in the city center and the next day after checkout, we had Tony pick us up from there to take us to Aurora River Camp. He also asked us if we wanted to pick up some groceries and there is literally nothing around the property. We were able to check-in easily, and Tony was absolutely a pleasure and walked us through everything and also took us with our luggage to our Igloo and gave us all directions and instructions of usage since everything was very unique here unlike other hotels. We had opted for a Riverside Glass Igloo which was right near the frozen river and was extremely compact, but beautiful to see the northern lights. Unfortunately, we stayed only 1N and it was cloudy but the previous day and other days around there were beautiful northern lights visible from the property. Tony also volunteered to inform us when they appear. A nice, clean, compact igloo room with a small bio toilet, however with no shower (only toilet paper, towels, napkins, kitchen wash basin) and a mini kitchenette with cutlery, crockery and an induction stove. We had access to the main common lounge which was a 3-4 minute walk which had multiple bathrooms with toiletries, shampoo, body wash, and other amenities. There were multiple lounge areas within this with several sofas, tables, chairs for your privacy and also a common kitchen with fridge where you can cook, wash etc. There was an hour of Sauna also included which we could book in advance with Tony. Since it was almost the midst of winter in Sweden, we did need the heater in the igloo. Buffet Breakfast was served in the common lounge was very limited, could have been better for the price paid with a larger spread, did get crowded at times. Overall, a great stay and would recommend staying here as this camp was just perfectly located near the river, across the world famous Ice Hotel (you can walk across in winter over the frozen river), decent rooms and bathrooms! Thank you Aurora River Camp & Glass Igloos and Tony for the wonderful stay and hospitality and we would definitely stay here again! Tony also then dropped us back to the airport.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time here. We stayed Monday to Friday and at first were a little concerned about the small space but you do get used to it and going over to the main house helped a lot. The toilet was a little bit cramped and I’m only 5 ft 3 so I feel sorry for anyone who is taller. We were given plenty of food in our little fridge in the floor but the ‘kitchen’ is tiny so we went to the main house to cook too. Meeting other travellers from different places and chatting was lovely. Looking out at the breathtaking view and watching the northern lights from our cozy bed was an experience I will never forget and I would go back again for sure.

Fantastic experience. 3 night stay in an igloo. The service by Toni and his wife was exemplary. Very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Easy pick up and drop off as well. Staying in an igloo was an unforgettable experience… looking up and seeing the Aurora from our own igloo was magical. Also great location for a walk (across a frozen lake) to the magnificent ice hotel and don’t forget the excellent Sami (outdoor) museum with its great restaurant! Don’t be put off by being outside the town. It’s definitely worth it. There’s saunas and a club house too with a very nice simple breakfast. Highly recommended.
