Places to stay in Lapland

I'm usually not one to write reviews, like most Korean men in their 20s. But this accommodation was so amazing that I couldn't help but leave one. The place itself is spacious, spotless, and perfectly located for seeing the northern lights. From cozy furniture to the smallest details, it felt like the house had everything we could possibly need. Even board games were available when we weren't out exploring. And the Finnish sauna was the perfect way to relax after a day in the cold. Also the host went above and beyond for us—preparing Finnish candies, suggesting some nice restaurants, and even renting us a sled for tobogganing. It's rare to come across such hospitality, and it made our stay even more memorable. If I ever visit Finland again, there's no question-I'd come back here without hesitation. This place was so perfect so that I genuinely hope everyone gets the chance to stay here and enjoy this wonderful place. Once again, thanks a lot for making stay in Finland so special.

My family stayed at Mr. Tapani’s place for 4 nights. Tapani picked us from the bus station. The residence is clean and airy, well located on the banks of a frozen river and as seen in the pictures. Tapani is a very pro-active, kind and a responsive and at 77 an energetic host. The Accomodation is 20 minutes walk to the centre, 10 minute drive to the Santa Claus village. The highlight of our stay was the traditional sauna followed by Jacuzzi which Tapani arranged for us. A very functional kitchen, with breakfast cereals, some pasta and other condiments. Overall a fantastic stay and highly recommend.

Let me start off by saying this is the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! I can’t even describe how wonderful was Tiina, she was very caring, kind and responsive AT ALL TIMES during our stay, which made it far more enjoyable. We didn’t have one single issue during our stay, but I know even if we’d had had one, Tiina would had made sure we were taking care of. The place itself is beautiful, excellent location very close to the lake, but what made it the best was definitely the attention to detail Tiina puts into making sure her renters feel cared for and a closest to him as posible!

Wir waren als Familie mit zwei Kindern (12 und 14) zum ersten Mal in Finnland. Unsere Vorstellung wurden bei weitem übertroffen. Die Lage des Hauses auf der kleinen Insel ist überragend. Das Haus ist super ausgestattet und hat unseren Bedürfnissen voll entsprochen. Wir kamen am Spätnachmittag an, es war dunkel, stürmisch und vereist. Marko und Lina haben uns herzlich empfangen, zum Haus begleitet, beim Transport unseres Gepäcks geholfen und alles gezeigt. Die Sauna war heiß, der Hottube ebenfalls, das Haus gemütlich hergerichtet. Die beiden waren/sind phänomenal. Nachts konnten wir dann noch Polarlichter bewundern. Zu erwähnen ist noch die problemlose und schnelle Kommunikation. Wir hatten unvergessliche Tage.

Due notti ad aprile a caccia dell’aurora boreale! L’appartamento è molto bello, pulito e con tutto il necessario. Ci sono due camere da letto (una è accessibile tramite scala a pioli), la sauna in bagno e una jacuzzi esterna. Aapo è molto gentile e disponibile

Stayed just a night but was just what we expected. Clean and comfortable and walking distance to the center. Communication was quick and clear.

Appartement très cosy, bien équipé et propre, vraiment idéal pour s'y ressourcer en couple après une journée passée à l'extérieur. Quartier sympathique, en bordure du centre où nous avons même pu observer et être juste en dessous d'aurores boréales...

Simply amazing, the place for perfect for two of us and a great location for everything we wanted to do in Lapland. The hosts are super communicative and friendly.

Esperienza fatta ad inizio Aprile 2025, Merja è stata una persona fantastica ancor prima di conoscerla di persona perché mi ha scritto prima di arrivare, è stata molto cordiale e gentile, mi sarebbe persino venuta a prendere in aeroporto. La camera stupenda con vista sul lago ghiacciato ci ha permesso di ammirare la splendida aurora boreale. Pulizia massima e struttura calda e da un senso di relax. Inoltre è vicinissima al centro città e a tutte le attività oltre che ai vari servizi. Se potessi mettere 6 stelle le metterei e consiglierei l’appartamento a chiunque. C’è veramente tutto e anche il prezzo è giusto per quello che offre. Consiglio vivamente a chiunque. Grazie Merja se dovessi tornare a Rovaniemi tornerei da te!
