"This is one of our favourite hotels. The staff is super nice and we always feel welcome. The dinner in Aanaar is highly recommended, and also the breakfast is very good. We like the location and views a lot as well. We will definitely come back, again. "

"The newly renovated hotel boasts an excellent location in Inari. Yet, BEWARE, no cash accepted, and the restaurant is grossly overpriced for Lapland standards. The restaurant has been turned toward high dining, which I consider a catastrophic mistake. So, eat elsewhere.

"I won’t back to this hotel just because they don’t help you to take the luggage to the room, they don’t even let you to take your car near to the building, we had to take the luggages far from the car on the snow… it was a bad experience. Luckily the room was pretty good."

"The location is excellent in the middle of several fells. Good hiking trails and scenic walking trails (and cross-country skiing tracks in winter) start from the hotel. The restaurant of the hotel is one of the best in Lapland. The breakfast buffet is excellent, too. It also includes local specialties, e.g. spruce shoot fruitie, lingonberry vanilla smoothie and cloudberry jam. The log building is historical (built in 1948) but unfortunately the rooms need renovation. They are quite cozy but many...

"We stayed in a very dated apartment (I believe they are in the process of renovating), but it was large and mostly clean. It had a kitchen and a sauna. The hotel has a restaurant with a view of a lake. The food quality was great! There was also a pool, but we never tried it."

"관광이 아닌 여행을 원하신다면 꼭 들려보세요. Truly an unspeakable experience. We visited in January 2025 to enjoy the Finnish winter, and this place provided an unforgettable time.
We were lucky enough to see the aurora on our first night. Their spa facilities are excellent, and they even offer an ice bath experience in the river (we were too scared to try—lol). The cracking sounds in the forest were unlike anything we've experienced before. At first, it feels strange and intimate, but once you realize it's the sound of wood cracking due to the extreme cold, it becomes part of the unique natural experience. Coming from the U.S., we'd never heard anything like it. Interestingly, when we visited Saariselkä afterward, we didn’t hear that sound again—truly a one-of-a-kind memory.
Overall, we had a great time. One small issue: we had heater problems twice during our 3-night stay. However, the maintenance team responded immediately and resolved the issue quickly. I believe this has likely been fully resolved by now.
Oh, and their glögi? The best we had in all of Finland (we had glögi every day—lol).
A truly wonderful experience.

"We loved staying here in one of the log cabins! Very accommodating staff with lots of facilities. Restaurants and breakfast were wonderful and loved exploring the surrounding area. Only downsides would be the spa area - water very cold small pool more ideal for children than adults. Also the hotel charges entry for music / club nights which is discouraging. "
"Great location. First bust stop from the airport. The rooms were a bit dated but it wasn’t an issue only staying one night. The buffet breakfast was great. "
"Great location at a great viewing point for the Northern Lights. Good access to Saariselka ski resort & toboggan run. Food is sub-par, so we ended up going to the village."
"Loved everything. Specious, clean, no hide dirt, lovely place. Even when in the morning we was roasting hot and had receptionist checking on us as fire alarm went off.. sauna didnt switched off from the evening before..they send someone to fix it it was just a perfect place. Affordable, close to shops and walkable to see place around. Thank you 5*"
"Throughly enjoyed our visit. The apartment came fully equipped with everything you would need to make meals and feel right at home. We had a fabulous view from the balcony. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Will be staying here again. Couldn’t recommend enough. "

"The Aurora pyramids was an amazing stay! It included free breakfast and dinner, free access to the Elves village, a sledding hill and reindeer farm (rides available as well).
The area around it is very beautiful. Secluded and relaxing and short drive to Levi. Had lots of different areas for viewing the northern lights! Also we were able to see the northern lights from the glass pyramid! (Although you should go outside and look for them as you don’t know which direction they are) "
"Great communication with the hotel and they sorted out a taxi from the airport to hotel which could carry my snowboard and two suitcase, me and one other.
Lovely apartment with everything you need and the sauna is amazing just what you need after a day in the slope.
Lift to slope just down the road with a bar/restaurant that is open during slope hours.
Easy walk to Levi centre either main road or winter trail and the R1 bus runs frequently and enough to get back from centre with a food shop "
"Overall nice stay! Buffet was delicious and probably the best buffet I have ever had. Rooms were very nice, especially if you’re lucky enough to have a sauna in your cabin. $40 credit for VIP membership didn’t do much. It was for public sauna or snow shoe rental only. "
"I really enjoyed my stay in Giellajohka.The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The area was beautiful and peaceful and there was almost no light pollution. "
"If you need a place to sleep for a night you get that. A bed and a working toilet. Good for a solo dude traveling through. If you want any amenities, look elsewhere."
"We spent 4 nights here 2 adults and 2 kids and it was perfect. Close and convenient to the slopes. Breakfast was nice and was a good start to the day. "
"Check in closes at 10.00.p.m. at a major tourist area. The plane with tourists from the capital, Helsinki, does not arrive at the closest airfield until 10.30.p.m. They need to consider this. The afterhours lockbox is situated outside. It was minus 25 Celsius and dark when we arrived. The lockboxes inside need two fingers for the metal buttons on either side. I still have peeling finger skin two weeks later from having to touch them. The lockbox should be situated in an inside lobby - very poor. There are multiple buildings in this complex and not well lit, so you have to find your in the dark and the cold and pulling your suitcase through snow."
"The room was dirty very old fashioned sauna only you can use for 7pm to 9 pm breakfast was not good at all reception staff was nice I stayed three nights in this hotel and they haven’t t done any Room service I would not recommend this hotel "
"Amazing place , you will all you need ! We have seen auroras outside our cabin which was spectacular experience . Fire place and sauna was a big bonus. Highly recommend, we will definitely come back ! "
