This glass igloo managed by a private host is a true hidden gem.
It is well rated in Booking, and not without a reason.
You can enjoy the Northern lights indoors with the luxurious amenities.
Levi sensu made our trip comfortable. The glass roof was awesome. We could not go outside to hunt the aurora as our child is only 2.5 years old.
We were able to see the aurora while we were inside the comfy of the house. Mira is a great host.
The place is super clean. Smells good Washer is convenient Not far from levi center Quiet area We can't ask for more

If staying in a glass igloo has ben your dream for a good while, this is it.
Another awesome fact is the proximity of the slopes - you will be staying just 850 metres from the ski lift!
Amazing Stay – Northern Lights from Our Bed!
This was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed!
The highlight?
We saw the Northern Lights right from our bed—an unforgettable experience with stunning views through the large windows.
The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, always available with great recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect.
The cozy interiors, breathtaking location, and warm hospitality made this stay absolutely magical.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is the place to be! Can’t wait to return! ❤️

This is another great "once-in-a-lifetime" accommodation in Levi.
These pyramid-shaped glass igloos offer 360 views to the night sky from bed, as well as a buffet dinner included in the price during the winter season.
I don't know why but they don't mention that the facility is part of the Elves Village and it is a very big facility that has a cafe/shop, restaurant, reindeer farm, theme park and has access to ski path.
We were very surprised when we got there because from the images we were expecting a distant/remote facility that has little to no reception/moderation, like some other lodge type stays in Finland.
Also, unlike other comments, we found the room big enough to stay in it comfortably.
The buffet breakfast was good, had plenty of choices.

This iconic igloo accommodation is popular both among tourists as well as Finns.
You can't go wrong with this one.
Expensive but worth every cent. The igloos are super warm and insulated, clean and well decorated.
The shower is hot and I liked that it didn’t operate on a timer like some of the other igloo hotels.
Breakfast was simple but yummy, dinner was more elevated and quite enjoyable too (we had low expectations after reading some of the reviews, but food and service were good!).
Loved the private sauna, but would have preferred if it came with a cold plunge pool.
I would have enjoyed my time here even if we didn’t see the aurora, but we did, and that made our time here unforgettable.

These hotels are offering a great mix of luxury, but with a smaller budget compared to the iconic glass igloos.
Choosing one of these, you can be sure your stay will be comfortable.
Rated: 8.1
This spa hotel is located in the centre of Levi close to all restaurants, bars and ski slopes.
The water world is a combination of indoor pools and big outdoor area, where you can stare at the night sky - a magical experience even for me, although I'm from Finland.
The hotel is very clean and very central. It has a lovely buffet breakfast and comfortable rooms.
Nice to have access to Water World also.
The only downside is the other noisy people staying at the hotel and coming back late in the night.
They can be quite loud - not really the hotels fault though.
Hotel is very central to the town of Levi and main slopes are a short 5 min walk. Beginner slopes are a bus ride away.
Restaurants on site are good - especially the pizza one.

This is a well-known hotel chain in Finland, known for its good quality facilities and great breakfast buffet.
This is a safe choice with good location and fits both for families as well as a romantic couple's trip.
Great location, just 5 mins walk to Ski Centre.
Great customer service, all staffs in this hotel are so friendly and helpful.
Great breakfast except they do not serve cappuccino or Latte even if you are willing to pay extra

This hotel is the dream of skier. The hotel is located at the side of a slope, so you can ski down from the hotel itself directly.
The hotel in itself is a great quality hotel with helpful staff.
Immediate access to the slopes and exceptional value for the money. Sauna and breakfast were included in the price.

Hullu Poro is very well-known hotel and concert arena among the Finns.
The hotel is located in the centre of Levi and it has a nice bar as well for some after-ski.
All amenities of Levi are nearby.
Excellent Hotel/Resort located a 5 minute walk from the Levi skiing slopes. The staff was very friendly, and our room was clean and tidy.
The spas and pool were great to relax in after hitting the ski slopes, and the gym is one of the best gyms I've experienced in a hotel.
The included breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious.

If you want to stay in Levi like a Finnish person, you would choose a cottage instead of a hotel.
These cottage provide all the main amenities and have also a great location.

This fantastic cottage fits five guests and the whole place is your during your stay.
It include private hot tub and sauna.
Levin kuiskaus is located only 2.2 kilometers from Levi centre.
You need to normally book this one early, so check availability from here.

Levillas Tunturinlaita is an apartment near Levi centre.
It is a typical, modern Finnish apartment that has all you need from clothes drying cabin to espresso machine.
Location is great - it literally means next to the fell.
Quiet and peaceful surroundings, ski slopes nearby. A short walk to all the action - restaurants, shops.
Comfortable, well-equipped and very clean apartment, beautiful views of nature. Ski locker in the carport and a drying rack for ski clothes in the apartment.
Quiet location, comfortable beds, good sleep guaranteed. We picked up the keys from the center (good location) and very easy to return.

Levi Villa Aurora - the Christmas dream for family
Rated: 9.7
This exceptional high-end villa is a dream stay for a group, up to 8 people.
You will have a wonderful stay with fully equipped kitchen, private sauna, and not too far from all of Levi's amenities.
Stunning villa. High end facilities such as Siemens Dishwasher, SMEG kettle & Toaster, KEF speakers in the lounge. Everything was so clean and tidy.
We are a family of 7 (2 adults, 5 kids) and settled comfortably in this space. The host was exceptionally responsive, professional and flexible.
We recommend this place 110%!

Taruilevi - lovely stay in modern Finnish log cabin
Rated: 9.1
This lovely cottage is located in quiet, forest spot, but still not far at all from Levi centre.
You can enjoy the wooden log cabin and its modern amenities with up to 6 people
Fabulous home. It was spotlessly clean, in a great condition, and the location was perfect for us. We were a family of five, with children ages 8, 7 and 5 who loved the cabin.
