    I don’t think you need a lot of time here in the spring or summer because a few of the tours don’t operate but it’s still worth visiting. Beautiful pristine area that reminds you of the beauty of nature.

    The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

    A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more). There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme. There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling. Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too. For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways). For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent. For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english. You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc. We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking. Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails. Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.

    The Guest House is warm and tidy, you feel at home as soon as you enter in there, it does not look like a hotel because of the familiar enviorment all around. The location is perfect to visit Rovaniemi. The city center is 3 min walk from the structure and you have the shopping center and the restaurants all around. Bus stop to Santa Claus Village and to the airport is also very close to the Guesthouse.. There is a Spa with Sauna and Swimmingpool just behind the building..I would definately stay there again.

    Very close to the airport Beautiful view and cozy rooms they really maximized the storage space in the room in a way that you don’t fill it’s taking space from the actual room size Breakfast is absolutely delicious it is in my top 3 of all the breaks fast I did around the world quality and choice The overall customer service is fantastic I advise to book activities though the hotel as they are dealing with the best tour operators so yes it might be a little more expensive but worth it.

    What a beautiful place ! The igloo surrounding by the forest is very cute, the view is beautiful ! You also have a great sauna. The best place to see Northern lights if the sky is clear enough. We enjoyed the local food, the snowshoes and all nice time we had with the staff ! Just a thing you need to know, is that the shower isn’t in the igloo but in the Sauna, which was not an issue for us. If you want an authentic experience, it’s the place you must go !

    Such an amazing property. Exceeded my expectations. Beautiful location and hosts were so friendly. Villa was very clean and had everything we needed. You will need a car, but there is on-site parking and it is easy to find. Only 30 mins from centre of Rovaniemi. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back. The view of the northern lights over the lake was a definite highlight. Thank you Kati and Petri for allowing us to stay in such a lovely place.

    Excellent location for going into Rovaniemi and access to Santa Village and attractions. Great for kids too as sledging and park opposite. Excellent facilities for washing and drying clothes too. The owner had excellent communication before our arrival and throughout our stay, giving us tips and tricks for getting around. I was really nervous about not using a mainstream hotel company but I was so happy! Really warm and quiet too!

    First, I highly appreciate they allowed me for a very early check in due to my train schedule arrival in Rovaniemi. And then I had the most excellent breakfast. Every single dish served was delicious , exceed any expectations. In the evening , I decided to have dinner in the hotel restaurant , and, again , with compliment to the chef, the meal was divine. Friendly and helpful staff as well both in the hotel and restaurant.

    We stayed in a Nordic Cottage, which we loved. It was very spacious, had beautiful high ceilings, a cozy fireplace and its own sauna. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food quality was very good. One out of 4 hotels we stayed at in Finland, having a proper espresso machine (included in the buffet breakfast). We missed the gym/fitness, but it's generally applicable for most accommodations I looked at in Lapland.

    Our room was not as in the picture on Booking.com site. The size was good but the bathroom was total caos! Tiles missing, a sharp edge of the sink “inside” the shower. And I found the floors to be dirty or stained. The room is old. We booked to be in the SCANDIC hotel, but we were put in the Lapland tour building. Had to go out in the cold for breakfast, to by water and the elevator doesn’t work after 18:00

    A great location in the centre of town with a park for kids outside. Sledding and an ice rink in the park! It was a perfect place to stay. Clean and warm. Warm being very important in December in Finland! Lots of space in the apartment and a great host. We could not have asked for anything more from Joel. We (family of 4 with 2 kids aged 4 & 8) recommend very highly.

    Location of the hotel is in the downtown of Rovaniemi. Lots of restaurants are around the hotel, so food is not a problem during stay. Also, there is a supermarket just across the road. It is a building with large LEDs on the wall, go inside and down by an elevator, you can buy snacks, fruit, drinks, and sledge there.

    For a summer trip in Finland, this is really a unique place to stay at... and you get to meet Santa in person, too. :-). But seriously all was excellent... the friendly and helpful reception staff, breakfast, etc. The 1.5 km long Santa Claus Forest Nature Trail gives a short but good hiking experience.
