Lapland Nature & Health

10/10 Excellent

"We showed up late and stayed a night but lovely old place and comfy beds!"

Arctic Skylight Lodge

8/10 Good

"Amazing staff! Super friendly and helpful. The location is stunning and feels remote although you’re only 5 mins drive from the nearest village."

Riekko Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The best part of our Lapland trip was staying at this house. It truly had everything we could have wished for — a sauna, beautiful snowy surroundings, peaceful forest views, fully equipped kitchen, and even drying machines, which were extremely useful. The two-bedroom layout was excellent. One of the bedrooms, located under the roof, offered a stunning view of the aurora — such a magical experience. The kota was also a lovely highlight, especially on the night we went out and were lucky enough to see the northern lights. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, making everything smooth and comfortable. The location is quiet and relaxing, yet still convenient if you have a car and want to go into the town center. Breakfast was simple but good, and we really enjoyed our easy mornings over the four nights we stayed. The kids especially loved the sledges provided — they had so much fun playing in the snow. We would absolutely love to come back again!"

Hotel Ylläsrinne Deluxe

10/10 Excellent

"Room with a beautiful view of the forest. Very sound proof and comfortable beds!"

Hotel Ylläsrinne

10/10 Excellent

"Great and easy check in with lovely staff. Room lively and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was plentiful at the buffet in the morning. Sauna was fantastic at the end of a long day and free to use from 4pm. Parking was easy just in front of the hotel. Great stay! "
