    The house is very cold, we contacted the staff but they just simply said the temperature cant be adjusted and the weather outside is cold that day. This sounds very weird because in other place i stayed in finland every temperature can be adjusted, some even went to warm that i need to lower down the heater. This is very inconvenient since i am staying with elderly and young children, everyone was freezing. The sauna did not even work. The soap that they provide is only for one time use (they provide a normal shampoo bottle that you can get from groceries but with probably two pumps left). Appreciate the gesture but might as well no need to provide the shampoo or soap. Another thing to note is dont book this place if you are looking for a place that has aurora viewing possibilities because this place has bad light pollution (its like a housing complex with many things going on). Like i said i stayed in other house and i know one or two things about which location will be better for aurora viewings Note: there is no covered car parking so expect ur car to be covered in snow in the morning during winter.

    It is a nicely decorated house with good facilities provided but not everything works. It has many proper bathrooms. Nice bedrooms size and very clean. Location wise, it is Quite near to groceries. Easy to find and easy to check in. Kitchen very well equipped. The staff are easily contacted( though not so helpful).

    The house was lovely and modern and equipped with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Little touches like the Christmas tree and having dishwasher tablets and detergents to use etc made a self catering stay a lot easier with a family. The house is a little way from the town centre if you are walking (as it’s very cold) but We had a car and it took 5 minutes and we loved the fact it was secluded and quiet but we could easily reach where we needed to go by car.

    would be good to know the exact location when you’re booking as some of the properties are the other side of town and closer to the ski slopes.

    so beautifully finished and spacious. beautiful big windows into the forest. absolutely amazing. squirrels running a round outside the window. comfy beds. perfect temperature.

    It is a luxurious and spacious house with three bedrooms, a large sauna and a balcony with a wonderful view. It is an amazing location, as if it were a legend. Our group consisted of two families with children, and everything we needed was provided. We would definitely return to this house if we were to return to Lapland. It has been a pleasure staying in your amazing apartments and accommodations. Thank you very much!

    None of the rooms have an en suite bathroom, but there are 4 bathrooms in total with one right outside of the sauna that made things quite convenient. You'll also need to plan to ski to town or just rent a car. Nothing is far, but with kids and gear in the snow, a car was a necessity.

    This villa offers everything you need for a cozy stay, including a spacious sauna, wood burning fireplace, full kitchen, comfortable beds and a stand-up dryer to handle.not only.your laundry, but to quickly dry your snow gear after a day on the slopes or trails. The bedrooms are actually much bigger than anything we've seen yet in Lapland and have very nice storage space included.

    Everything was perfect. We could not find a single fault!

    An absolutely outstanding property. Very modern, kept to the highest standards and with exceptional facilities, including double shower, sauna, drying room, large dining table, excellent kitchen facilities and beautiful surrounds. The location is magical - we felt like the only people in the world - it was so peaceful. Our children loved diving into the deep snow in the garden and sledding down the very quiet road on the sled provided. Our only regret is that we didn’t book for longer.

    It was a shame that we were not allowed to use the fireplace. It would have improved the atmosphere even further. It would have been good to know about it in advance.
