The apartment we had was perfect for 2 people. We spent one night but would have been perfect for a longer vacation. The resort is very easy to find and just 15 minutes drive from Saariselka. The sauna in the bathroom is functioning well, it also had a timer so we had it on when we came back from Aurora hunting and we could warm up before bed.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The breakfast was fantastic, and my room was a charming little cabin with a picturesque view. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary sauna, and my room had all the amenities I needed. The staff were exceptionally sweet, nice, and friendly, providing all the information we required. The check-in desk, located in a charming bar that even offers karaoke options, providing a fun tone right from the start.Plus, the proximity of restaurants to the cabin made dining out incredibly convenient. I highly recommend staying here for the great atmosphere, convenient location, and excellent service!

If you're going skiing, Saariselkä is a good option and you can stay there for a week, for example.
If you are looking for the Northern Lights, maybe 3 nights would be ok, but you you should pray for good weather, with clear skies, and , of course, for the aurora to appear.

Saariselka has everything you need for a winter lapland trip! The ski resort is at walking distance, there are more than three DMC's to chose from when booking trips, there are plenty of restaurants and pubs. THe supermarket is big for a small town and offers all you need. Note that you can't buy wine in the supermarket but there's a small store next to it called Alko where you can pick up a bottle of wine.

It is a small and quiet town. Air is very fresh. Trees with snow on it are very beautiful. You can have many snow activities here. If you stay several days and the weather is good, you may have opportunity to see Aurora.
Bus is very convenient. You can go from Rovaniemi. You can also take bus to Ivalo and Ivalo airport.
Restaurants are very good in this small town.

It is a very beautiful place, but it is expensive.
It is a very beautiful place, but it is expensive. I just stayed for one night in a beautiful cabin. I think that the food is ok and also there could be some more interesting things to in the Hotel do when it gets dark.

You can do many activities - skiing, biking, hiking, relaxing, observing, and enjoying Lapland nature. You have a big chance to see the Aurora Borealis. There is a very comfortable and understandable system of day huts and wilderness huts with essential equipment in and out of the national park — an excellent place for people who love nature.
Excellent place to stay. its very quite here and most importantly we get to experience aurora right in front of our cabin! the room is just like in the pictures. comfortable bed and spacious enough for 4 of us. i would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a budget friendly place to stay in ivalo/saariselka. Bare in mind, u need to take taxi to come here from the shopping center after u pick up your keys. it cost us 15euro. So please ensure u got all your groceries sorted before u come. unless you got car rental.
The room, the view and the Jacuzzi were even better than advertised, but the thing that stood out was how incredibly helpful the staff was. Juuso helped us with everything we could've needed and more: setting up the room in a particular way, driving us to places, even showing us around Saariselka. Maybe I'm biased because I proposed on this trip, but this was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Get the Jacuzzi place! Absolutely worth every penny.
The igloo was clean and comfy, the food was delicious, i expected that there is a fix menu, options for vegetarians are available. The offered menu was good and enough. the restaurants in both West/East villages were very good, the personal is very friendly. We were able to see the northern lights from the igloo and outside, we were very happy. the whole stay was fabulous!
The apartment we had was perfect for 2 people. We spent one night but would have been perfect for a longer vacation. The resort is very easy to find and just 15 minutes drive from Saariselka. The sauna in the bathroom is functioning well, it also had a timer so we had it on when we came back from Aurora hunting and we could warm up before bed.
Amazing location, and the view suite with sauna is amazing value when compared to the igloo style cabins. Has even a small induction stove top and pans you can cook with if needed. Heated tiles feel great after a long day in the cold. Pillows and bed are comfy. Couch is nice to lounge on and watch TV. Lots of space.
A wonderful suite in a hut in the center of Saariselka. Excellently equipped. Super-comfortable. We spent several days in paradise during the winter. Really good value for the money. We enjoyed the in-suite sauna, the jacuzzi outside, the chimney… one of the wonderful experiences in life.
Great chalet with everything we could possibly need for a family of 4. Everything was very good quality and in good condition. The chalet was in a great location in the centre of Saariselka. Would recommend, host very responsive to questions we had 😀
Clean rooms, it has all the facilities you need, quiet hotel. Breakfast buffet is included. The location is very good, it’s in the middle of nature with direct access to walking/ski paths and is dark at night.
Very good value for the price.
The location was excellent. Saariselkä is small so everything is walking distance. Safaris, grocery store, ski lifts etc.
The Paraspaikka apartments had a Sauna in them which was great.
Staff was nice and helpful.
Breakfast was ok.
The staff are helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a great area, in walking distance to a shopping center and restaurants. The room was clean and spacious (we had a 1-bedroom apartment).
The location was really nice, but I have to put a lot of effort into getting breakfast in the morning since it is far away about 4km away from the hotel, but overall, the hotel was quite amazing!
The owners were very helpful and also the location was amazing, very close to the centre of Saariselka by car! We just loved the small street where the accommodation is!
EVERYTHING WAS ON POINT! Natasha our host was great, very helpful and always reachable. When we visit Saariselka next time we’ll definitely stay again at this villa.
The location is center of saariselka, easy to access to any where, supermaket, ski resort and restaurants. warm temperatured apartment! good to have sauna as well.
