"A great place to stay for one night! The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were very friendly. The on-site saunas were a nice bonus. We met Spasoje at check-in, and he was an excellent receptionist—very knowledgeable, helpful, and welcoming. The hotel is located right in Santa Claus Village, which makes it very convenient. The breakfast was also great, with everything you could expect. Highly recommended!"

Apartment Finnish, Private Sauna By Lapland Host

10/10 Excellent
"Overall the home was okay to live in,It has a big kitchen, a good bathroom and sauna.I really like that it was a non smoke area, as an non smoker on other places that annoys me the most.The communication with the host team was very good,Fast replies and they care if something is wrong because we got asked to tell them if even a tiny bit is wrong so they can figure out a solution.For me a bit to much communication in the beginning,But thats mostly on me because I love my quiet time :). The area was good as well,Tho a bit loud here and there because many mini pocket bikes and cross bikes where driving by.For shopping like groceries and other things,shops are some smol ones about 5min drive and some bigger ones 10min drive away.As closure tho, its a good place to stay a few days"
