We had a wonderful experience staying in Arctic Skylight Lodge. The cabin is lovely and comfortable, and the experience of sleeping under the glass roof is absolutely amazing. We loved the feeling of being surrounded by the forest while inside, and didn't even want to close the curtains. There is an option to entirely block the view from neighbours, but we wanted to keep it as open as possible. In the evening we just laid in the bed and looked at the starry sky on top of us, unfortunately no Northern Lights at that night, but we managed to see 2 falling stars!
The cabin is not extremely spacious, but it is pleasant in size, not tiny. Nice furniture, comfy bed and quality bedlinen.
Also extra credits to the restaurant, the food was amazing. Would definitely go again!

We liked the area, how clean it was inside and out. Greenery out the front. We were left alone and it was key safe entry.Huge bonus a mother reindeer with her baby used to stand out side, lay down, then wander off. We would stay again and recommend.

Big house with several rooms and few separated beds. Enough for 10 people. For 12 people it would be to crowded. Very well equipped kitchen. House was in good condition. A separate ski storage and wax cabin with wax iron available. A free sledge was available. Cross-country ski track is nearby, at a comfortable walking distance. Snow was cleared regularly from driveway and even backyard.

So great to watch the northern lights without any hassle. Just above you while you are on bed or few steps from your cabin. Just install the northernlight alert app and go enjoy your stay within the premises , it will sent alerts for the area you’re in and that’s what we did. Realy great experience and so magnificent to see the dancing colorful northern lights . Breathtaking . The location is perfect away from the city however the city center is not too far only around 5-6 kilometers.

This was a lovely place to stay.
This was a lovely place to stay. Bigger than some Lapland places we have stayed in but not too big. Probably around 5/6 restaurants and pubs, a really good supermarket and alko shop.
Only a 5 min bus ride from the north slopes of Yllas ski resort and plenty of outdoor adventure companies providing the standard stuff - snowmobiles, huskies, northern lights etc.

Great amenities including an extensive network of cross country ski trails with a supermarket, a few shops, restaurants and sports shops in the centre and amazing boreal forest all around. Known as The Village Surrounded By Seven Fells (hills), Äkäslompolo is a place where you can ski and ski, easily getting away to more remote places. There are small cabins dotted about in the forest (all well signposted) where you can buy food and hot or cold drinks (or even stay the night at some) and others where there are fire pits and traditional "kota" shelters where you can rest, warm up and cook sausages. Great for adults and kids alike. Some of the groomed trails pass over the hills and above the tree line so there are good views along the way. The trail network caters for walkers, skiers, cyclists and skiers with dogs, all in the same vicinity, but sufficiently separated for safety and enjoyment. There are saunas at almost all the accommodations and lake / river swimming or plunge pools year round. Good public transport links to Kittila airport, Kolari train station and Rovaniemi.

Fantastic skiing atmosphere.
Fantastic skiing atmosphere. Everywhere skiing tracks and no matter of time people on tracks. Ski resort has a lot of off-piste skiing areas.
Temperature in Febrauary can surprise skiiers from south :) Viseversa on mountain temperatures were up to 20 degrees milder that in valley. Landscape is absoultely mindblowingly beautiful. Our week long stay was too short and we defenately will be back for hiking season or longer cross country skiing vacation.

Great little town, supermarket has everything, restaurants are great, but closed in evenings after 6 due to Covid. Eat out in the afternoon's instead. Loads to do, saw spectacular aurora (northern lights) most every night.
Bus from kittila airport is easy.

Really nice place for winter sports!
Really nice place for winter sports! Well kept ski tracks for long distances with small cafes every few kilometers. Not many evening restaurants or other things to do than skiing in the evenings. Perfect for nature lovers, who aren’t too adventurous.
The appartment is super beautiful and located in the middle of nature with a great view to the forest and mount Ylläs. In the morning, the sun shines right into the living room and you can watch the crystal clear air sparking in the light. At afternoon, sun is still on the large terrace.
It is very modern, nicely and warmly decorated and has a lot of equipment! For example, for cooking you already have spices, salt, sugar and cling film/plastic wrap. Definitely try the sauna.
Villa Ruskamaja is a nicely furnished, well equipped, house , flooded with light, in the middle of the woods (car highly recommended) near Äkäslompolo. We were in two, so the house was really spacious. Although the bathroom is tiny, it met our needs. The floor heating is great, as well as the sauna - next to the room for drying your clothes. We also appreciated the second toilet on the first floor so much, because you need`nt climb down the steep stairs during the night.
The location in an enchanting forest in the middle of a winter wonderland and away from the crowds and lights of the nearby town of Akaslompolo (though not too far as to make it a long drive) was excellent for peaceful relaxation and observation of the northern lights. The staff were excellent and made every effort to accommodate to our needs and special requests. The pirate sauna/jacuzzi and ice hole were a delight!
Lovely house in great location, sense of privacy even if there are other houses around.
Lovely sauna with direct access to the garden for refreshing dip in the snow!
The mezzanine great for kids den.
Wifi was great an added bonus was acces to streaming services and music.
