The apartment we had was perfect for 2 people. We spent one night but would have been perfect for a longer vacation. The resort is very easy to find and just 15 minutes drive from Saariselka. The sauna in the bathroom is functioning well, it also had a timer so we had it on when we came back from Aurora hunting and we could warm up before bed.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The breakfast was fantastic, and my room was a charming little cabin with a picturesque view. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary sauna, and my room had all the amenities I needed. The staff were exceptionally sweet, nice, and friendly, providing all the information we required. The check-in desk, located in a charming bar that even offers karaoke options, providing a fun tone right from the start.Plus, the proximity of restaurants to the cabin made dining out incredibly convenient. I highly recommend staying here for the great atmosphere, convenient location, and excellent service!

If you're going skiing, Saariselkä is a good option and you can stay there for a week, for example.
If you are looking for the Northern Lights, maybe 3 nights would be ok, but you you should pray for good weather, with clear skies, and , of course, for the aurora to appear.

Saariselka has everything you need for a winter lapland trip! The ski resort is at walking distance, there are more than three DMC's to chose from when booking trips, there are plenty of restaurants and pubs. THe supermarket is big for a small town and offers all you need. Note that you can't buy wine in the supermarket but there's a small store next to it called Alko where you can pick up a bottle of wine.

It is a small and quiet town. Air is very fresh.
It is a small and quiet town. Air is very fresh. Trees with snow on it are very beautiful. You can have many snow activities here. If you stay several days and the weather is good, you may have opportunity to see Aurora.
Bus is very convenient. You can go from Rovaniemi. You can also take bus to Ivalo and Ivalo airport.
Restaurants are very good in this small town.

It is a very beautiful place, but it is expensive. I just stayed for one night in a beautiful cabin. I think that the food is ok and also there could be some more interesting things to in the Hotel do when it gets dark.

You can do many activities - skiing, biking, hiking, relaxing, observing, and enjoying Lapland nature. You have a big chance to see the Aurora Borealis. There is a very comfortable and understandable system of day huts and wilderness huts with essential equipment in and out of the national park — an excellent place for people who love nature.
The hotel is very well located in Saariselkä. The breakfast selection is great and top class. Everything you desire and need. The personnel is very friendly and service oriented. As many hotels in Finalnd, it would need a general renovation of the hotel as such , specially the rooms. Therefore the price -value is ok for Finnish standards, but in mid europe it would be a 2 star categorie due to the small rooms ( standard class) and the old outlook.
The room, the view and the Jacuzzi were even better than advertised, but the thing that stood out was how incredibly helpful the staff was. Juuso helped us with everything we could've needed and more: setting up the room in a particular way, driving us to places, even showing us around Saariselka. Maybe I'm biased because I proposed on this trip, but this was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Get the Jacuzzi place! Absolutely worth every penny.
The hotel was on top of the Kaunispaa fell which is the best place to see aurora in Saariselka and also has magnificant view. It is also very close to the ski centre that offers excellent ski and snowboarding opportunities.
You need to make reservation for Kaunis Restourant. It is worth it with excellent taste of dishes.
We stayed in aurora cabin. Very clean and comfy. Best view in day and night.
There was so many options in breakfast.
Good Hotel but Disapointed about the cruelty they do with the dogs in the Hotel to offer a hushky experience, dogs are not Hushky therefore dogs suffer the coldnest and due to the dogs behaivor it is clear they are not well treated. Dogs work a lot. Hushkish are the right breed to support the weather and pulling the sled, bit they have other kind of dogs and it is evident the dos are suffering. Very slim and poor hair.
Location is not super convenient compared to the center, but definitely a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Having said that there are bus directly go to the Saariselkä center and Rovaniemi, tho in winter there may not a lot of scheduled buses. There is ski trail and definitely great place to ski. Room is comfortable and nice view from the window. The overall environment is super pretty!
Log hut is an amazing experience, large room with Sauna
Igloo was a magical experience
Patron engagement by Jothi Nalluri the sales and marketing manager was phenomenal, there should be more dynamic characters like her in the hotel industry in the Nordic countries
Activities like husky sledge and snowmobile were brilliant
A truly magical property and I will go back again for sure
Beautiful cabins with all modern luxuries. Beautiful modern scandinavian design and amazing views over Saariselkä town from the gorgeus fjell of Kaunispää! Fell in love and will return in future many times. Restaurant was great and sauna with fjell view was also wonderful. There was also option for hot tub, but chose to take it in future with someone lucky lady.
The apartment is exactly as advertised and more!
Great location, convenient and well equipped! Easy car park, shops, restaurants within walking distance, yet quiet and in the middle of Lappish nature.
Clearly, the hosts are passionate about Lapland and want to share this with their visitors. It made us feel very welcome and as if we were home, away from home.
The maisonette is very cosy and smartly arranged. The sauna is a terrific addition but what makes the place golden is the fireplace and firewood provided by the host. There was a perfect spot outside to take pictures of the northern lights. Conveniently close to Saariselka for groceries. We were sad to leave. :)
Great chalet with everything we could possibly need for a family of 4. Everything was very good quality and in good condition. The chalet was in a great location in the centre of Saariselka. Would recommend, host very responsive to questions we had 😀
The hotel is incredibly cozy, clean and has amazing vibes during winter. It is really close to the slopes and any activities in Saariselka. They offer a private sauna experience and breakfast. Plenty of good restaurants at 5 mins distance.
I loved everything about this trip. Your staff was wonderful and the front desk ladies were more than helpful! Breakfast was wonderful, as well as getting on the bus daily was so easy. I would suggest this hotel to anyone.
Perfect location, in the heart of Saariselkä.
The property itself was just what we needed, had all the facilities and space that you'd want.
The owners are lovely and very helpful.
Very good value for money!
Amazing apartment with great facilities. Awesome views, Dry and covered parking, Big bathroom with sauna, Kitchen with all basic amenities. Close to all attractions in Saariselka. Very responsible host.
The location was really nice, but I have to put a lot of effort into getting breakfast in the morning since it is far away about 4km away from the hotel, but overall, the hotel was quite amazing!
