Homestays in Lapland, Finland

Has a lot of potential but needs a lot of work to be 5 star. Firstly when we arrived the man on reception was really nice but didn't help us with our luggage to the room. The room itself was VERY small: there isn't even a wardrobe or anywhere at all to put any clothes. Meaning you can never feel relaxed in the room and there are just suitcases and clothes everywhere. It was nicely done up. It was also VERY hot in the room and the only way to cool it down enough was by opening the window. This meant we were woken up a lot through the night by various sounds. Including the grounds staff clearing snow very early in the morning. The breakfast was nice most of the time. However often the food out in the buffet was cold and it was a limited choice. I asked for fresh eggs as they were really cold which they made me but it took absolutely ages to get. While we were there the restaurant for lunch was shut (we didn't realise or were told this when we booked it) I am 3 months pregnant and I need to be able to eat food regularly. When I asked about food at lunch I was told there are snacks in the room or we could go into town. The snacks in the room are basically pot noodles or chocolate. To get into town it is 50euros per head per way, so it would've cost us 200euros for a trip to town just to get some food??! The reason we booked the resort was for a relaxing few days in a 5 star hotel experience. I had to kick up a bit of a fuss to be offered room service at lunch time, which was very limited options - I had to have fried chicken and chips every day. They then wanted to charge us 25euro room service fee even though it wasn't our fault the restaurant for lunch was shut?! Dinner was mostly nice, again not a lot of choice and the menu never changed and I wouldn't say it was 5 star food. Service was good at dinner, the staff were really lovely and helpful. The spa is very beautiful which is the main thing that attracted us to the hotel. However you can only go for 2 hours during a 2 night stay. Or you have to pay extra (100euro) Also both pools were cold even though one was supposed to be a thermal suite. We were never offered a drink while we were in the spa. No one offered us treatments or really talked us through the facilities. You couldn't get a drink anywhere during the day, we were told the kitchen was closed so we couldn't even order a coffee?!?! Limited options for activities on the resort without going into town (again 200euro charge extra to get into town) The reindeers were very cute and shout out to the grounds staff who were so friendly and helpful. Overall disappointed and wouldn't go back. Needs a lot of work on service to be good!

The most cost-effective accommodation in Finland. It took some time to find the front desk, and I was very satisfied with everything else! There is a large space for breakfast, and the bathroom provides a sauna room with bath towels and towels. I am really surprised! It snowed when we went, and we participated in the husky sledding activity. There was a 10[%] discount and the hotel was a partner. It was more affordable than ordering online in advance, so satisfied! The transportation is convenient. The bus is in the Holiday club, dozens of meters away from the front desk, and the supermarket is about 600 meters away. There is also a public sauna, but it is too cold to go out. It is more convenient to enjoy in the room! Will choose here next time I go...

Really nice apartment, good space, large rooms, indoor sauna, outdoor wood-burning sauna, good and quiet location.

Hello This house is the icing on the cake in a wonderful country with wonderful people who give you the feeling that you have known each other forever. The house has everything you need and even more than what you want. If we go back (which I hope) I woul

Very friendly host at the cottage, warm reception. The accommodation perfectly met our needs. I recommend the destination to other travelers as well.

Good place for max 4 person. Near hotel. Hiking and skiing roads biking behind the house.

Ideal location in the nature of Lapland. Care was very good. House was comfortably heated, with outside temperatures as low as -25 degrees Celsius.

The house is located directly on the lake and can only be reached by car. The temperature is nice and pleasant in the house, so you don't have to freeze. The kitchen is small but nice, could at most be a little better equipped. The sauna also heats up qui

Very quiet location so very relaxing and calming especially with the sauna and hot tub. Very well equipped and romantically lit. Too small for 6 people, limited hot water, outside shower, impassable road to house in winter (4WD only), fireplace powered ho

holiday home with its own boat and sauna house on the lake. Ideal for relaxing and retiring with loved ones. Nevertheless, in about 20 minutes by car in Rovaniemi and thus in a city.

Our experience was more than amazing. The place is stunning with a great view to wake up to. We had everything we needed from kitchen supplies to snow equipment. In front of the house was a perfect fire place/tent which we used every night. The sauna room

Villa Hanhi was amazing! The location in the beautiful forest, it was clean, fully equipped, good beds, beautiful veranda, sleds for the kids, a drying cabinet for all ski clothes, you name it! And Lapland was magical! The only downside was sometimes the

A beautiful holiday home from the outside and newly renovated from the inside. Unfortunately, this home is not maintained and it is coming no feeling good. The kitchen was not cleaned and the leftover dirt from the previous tenant, including a full fridge
