Where to stay in Ivalo

We were there in wintertime and it was amazing. The houses are very cute and clean. It is nice that you have your own doorstep. We had a nice tiny house experience. The park is simple but nice and on walking distance from the centre of Ivalo. The owners are happy to answer all your questions. We booked their husky-, snowmobile- and aurora safari. Husky and snowmobile were amazing! But the aurora safari...

Very friendly staff, comfortable accommodation and good location

Good place for overnight stay with your tent or caravan. Far away from the main road, so no noise during night time. Available services in tent area: WC, Shower, Small kitchen (w/o fridge), electricity available only in caravan parking

Lovely huts and camping close to the lake, very nice facilities too

Super cute place with good breakfast. All basic comforts are available and you can plan your activities at the location itself (if you are unsure of online booking)

Great place! Really recommend for eberybody!

This place is FANTASTIC. Wonderful location (7 minutes from airport, drove 20 minutes and saw amazing northern light), super comfortable and clean, very kind owners that went out of their way to make our trip special. We can't wait to come back- thank you Matti!

On my and my wife's behalf, warm recommendation. Exceptional service.

Easy to access. Cottages are quite primitive. Service building is new and well functioning. New and more modern cottages are being built in the area.

Very very best place. Nice and very helping stuff.

Very nice location, direct on the riverside- people very helpful - sanitary needs some improvement but the location let you forget about it. Price wise very ok

Nice camping area. Easy to find. Easy pull up spot. Had kitchen and showers although both small.

It is a place close to the ski resort and a romantic place for couples. The view from the top of the mountain is beautiful. The accommodation is clean and warm.

The hotel is very good overall, recommended

We had two rooms. The girls were in one of the cabins and we were in one of the skylight rooms. The cabin was great. Could sleep four comfortably. And the ladder/stairs up to the loft was very well designed and thought out and really safe and easy to use. The skylight room could really use about one more square meter. It was just a little tight even with just two people. The bathroom was kind of...

3 hour snow mobile safari We had already had a one hour experience three days ago. The guides were great loved it so much came back for more Wasn't dissapointed just as good and enjoyed being out longer our guide Tommy Was really great with us and we were lucky only four of us in the group We even came off twice which both times feel into deep snow ❄️ needed my husband and Tommy to lift the snow mobile...

Very happy with our stay at Star Artic Hotel. We thought the Scenic Suite was good value for money considering the location and time of year. We saw the northern lights during our stay which was great. Breakfast was decent. Didn’t have any other food at the hotel as we had a car and decided to drive to town instead. We also didn’t do any of the activities thought the hotel as there wasn’t enough snow...

overall: Definitely the best accommodation in Saariselkä Geographically located at almost the highest point We saw the unforgettable Aurora on the first night we stayed 😭🥺 And it’s really obvious! ! ! ! The hotel does not have much unnecessary light pollution It’s just perfect for taking aurora photos with clear faces. The room type we booked is a cabin in the building. Highly recommend everyone to...

Everything - beautiful little cabin, great location, staff were amazing (Juuso was our main man start to finish and he was superb, so helpful and friendly, recommending things to do and restaurants, driving us about and sorting stuff out for us). The place is well worth the money and the concept is very personal and friendly - would recommend to all

Jacuzzi with 40 degrees water when its -20 outside, while watching sunset over the snow-covered fields of Saariselka is something You will never forget ;)

The location is beautiful! Juuso and Nicky were such amazing host! They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best vacation. I finally got to check off the northern lights from my bucket list. I am so grateful for The Aurora Collection and the amazing service they provide. I would highly recommend this hotel!!

Staying at the Aurora Collection Resort was a magical experience! The hotel owners have thought about every detail to please their guests. The bed was super comfortable, very good shower, perfect breakfast (the best I had in Finland) and great quality toiletries. Each room has its own sauna and jacuzzi, which I haven't seen in any other hotel in the area, and the view is fantastic! There are many winter...

Best Finland Stay! Having travelled to so many places in the world, I can definitely say Nicky and Juuso were some of the best Hosts I've ever experienced. Our every Need was accommodated with much warmth and love to detail - from accommodating activities, to giving us restaurant recommendations, and transfers to anywhere we needed to go. The cabins are super new, very cozy, we especially very much...

One of the places to remember forever! We received the most wonderful hospitality from Juuso and Nicky. Never met owners/hosts that are so dedicated. They cared so much about their guests and went beyond to help us see the northern lights. The cabins have excellent views and the walks to the city are a great experience by itself. We will sure go back soon.

Nice place for two adults, floors cool, but slippers were for the house. Plus landscapes from skylights, e.g. starry sky in clear frost and heated windows. Note that it often winds in the fell and there are no trees to protect, so bring warm clothing.

Excellent accomodation, with excellent scenes, excellent facilities, excellent location and comfortable bed. My unit is the first unit at the east, so I can see sunrise every morning. Few hundreds meter walk to Kaunispää tower can see aurora.

Great cabin, your left alone a text to give you a pin to a key lock to enter your cabin, quite, chilled area and cooking facilities, the sauna is amazing!

A great location and a big nice cabin. Well prepared for the visitors. Enough space for a car. Save for the kids. Clean - A sauna heater doesn't work ( fuse is ok). It would be nice to keep a such a nice attraction in a working condition. Best, Roman

Excellent place for a Lappish holiday, I stayed there with my dog and it was very convenient and nice. Beds are comfy, lots of space. The location is close enough to the centre but also quiet and rustic. The only criticism is that it wasn’t absolutely clean - some hair in the shower drain, rings of old food around the cooking rings, dishes not clean.

Cabin is small but has all the necessary

Very peaceful location and yet close to necessary services. A great cottage for a family with children and a dog.

Great place in a great location. Traditional Finnish log cabin is the best place to experience Lapland.

Natural wood interior, romantic light (no bright light inside except shower room) but it's really nice cozy atmosphere especially when you have experience make fire by yourself at fireplace! Great place for vacation! ;)

The huts are spacey, comfortable and clean. The view from the windows is really good.

The job was taken care of when he got the right person on the line through the company.

They gave me a great apartment and stellar customer service from one younger lady. I am looking forward to going back again. Thank you T. Dr Leah Remeika-Dugan

Hotel with good location and basic-level nice rooms (no negative and positive surprises). Friendly service, and breakfast selection was broad and delicious.

Everything is excellent!👌 Room size is quite big, there is also a balcony. Kettle and mini fridge are included. Very good breakfast, various food.

The glass igloo was so homey and cosy, with an amazing view. I looked forward to coming back to this little home after a long day on the slopes. It is perfect for some peace and quiet in the wilderness. The receptionists at the hotel were so warm and helpful. A special shoutout to Sinni who greeted me at the hotel upon my arrival at midnight. She made me feel right at home after a long day of travel...

Quite a basic hotel but lovely atmosphere for all of the Lapland antics 😀🎅 Kids loved the buffet breakfast and dinner and easy access to great sledge/toboggan Hill ( bottom of ski piste) and the Artic Cirlcle Centre. Magical with the wintery landscape. Warm cosy and Perfect for a few days in the Artic circle as long as you don't expect the Ritz 👍

Amazing place staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was good. Would definitely go back again.

I can't fault the hotel or the staff at all, they've gone above and beyond to help us and accommodate us, they are all so helpful, kind and the rooms are perfect! They are clean, warm and the views are stunning! The food you ask? There's so much to choose, from fresh fruit to amazing smoothies to beautiful salmon and local produce!! Its our first time to lapland and this hotel and its not our last

Très bonne situation au centre de la station. Confortable et bien chauffé. Sauna dans l'appart.

Really reasonable accommodation in the middle of Saariselkä's services.

The cleaning was not perfect. I had to vacuum the room (debris on the floor) and mattresses before putting the sheets in bed. A service technician quickly came in questioning the dishwasher's skewed position. There were a lot of pluses: a good location and a set of good quality and very good steam in the sauna. But next fall we'll try to come back to the same apartment because after all, everything...

Saariselkä is located in Northern Lapland, 260 km north of Rovaniemi. The small village is located in a felling area near the Urho Kekkonen National Park in the heart of Lapland. Small winter apartments with a shorl walk to the shopping center - very well located. Extremely quiet and right on cross-country ski trail. Well equipped and moderately cleaned. The apartments are per unit for 6 people, an...

Very cozy, has everything you need. Love this place, enjoyed very much during my stay.

Rooms were amazing, everything you need and cozy. Sauna was good. Very confusing to find the check in but it seems to be because of temporary relocation due to fire. Good value. Location not ideal but not problematic. Would be amazing in a better location and with a view.

Nice comfy warm place. Like it here!

Accomodation is small and okay. Everything you need and very clean. You get breakfast vouchers and you can have breakfast 300m away. But - let's not call that breakfast. It was the most terrible "breakfast" i ever had based on quality and number of choices.

Decent pricing and accommodation, lacks some finishing. Audio equipment is old and does not function with smartphones, TV is bad and signal is poor. Bed is amazing and hotel room is beautiful.

Stayed here for a few nights in the off-season. The room and the building were nice and the interior was fresh and new. It was nice to have a private sauna time. The soundproofing turned out to be pretty bad and the breakfast was mediocre at best, but the price was super cheap for such a nice room and the location was so good that the negatives didn't really matter too much.

The log cabin style is nice and cozy. Beds are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is very mediocre - if you have the option, don’t pay for it, and just buy the food yourself and make it in your room. The kitchenette is less than basic (fridge, hot water boiler, and plastic spoons). If you’re not European, you may be shocked by the size of the shower, but at least the water is hot! For me, one of...

Enjoyed our stay there. Very cozy lounge, best hotel to do all Lapland Winter activities. They have spa and sauna facilities . Sauna is functional only 3-9 pm so could not use it. Book your Aurora spa in advance as it is mostly full.

Holiday Club has beautiful apartments with in build Sauna and Barbeque space. The kitchen is well equipped with good utensils. They also have hot dryer to dry clothes. The bed are also cozy to sleep in. The location is very nice as the ski resort is just 400m away from the place. There are lot of restaurants and groceries store nearby. These Appartment are value for money.

The room were perfect. Everything close by and easy access to all the activities around. I am giving it 3 stars because when we arrived my son lost his neck puff while we were putting our luggage in storage before check in. After we returned for check in I found it on the main desk. When I showed it to the receptionist he took it from me and put it in the lost and found box. When I told him that was...

The hotel is conveniently located for exploring Saariselka, within walking distance of supermarkets, restaurants and ski resorts. The apartments are clean and the staff is friendly.

Great stay in a lovely house with sauna, two toilets and also washing machine and dryer. Very kind staff, can definitely recommend!

A Winter Retreat Wrapped in the Shadows of Saariselkä Our stay at the Holiday Club Saariselkä felt like a cozy hideaway amidst the winter wilderness, nestled within the snow-covered trees. This resort, though built for skiers, welcomes all travelers with spacious rooms that feel like a luxurious refuge after a long day of exploring. The hot showers were nothing short of divine—like a fiery embrace...

Very large and nice room with own sauna! We had a very special dinner in a Finnish hut - kota; they even cooked a very delicious vegan meal for us. Great place!

Average hotel. Buffet is awful, buy some food warmers. Hords trying to use pots with lids, seriously guys!? Also scrambed eggs like block of cement Dont even get me started on coffee, well its labelled coffee!!!! - MUST BE A MISTAKE

We actually stayed in Gielas rather than Tunturi, but for some reason that won't come up. Our room was lovely and the housekeeping team did a great job when they came in to service the room. The beds were comfy. We had tea/coffee making facilities and a sauna in the room. Restaurant staff were absolutely amazing!!!!!! So friendly and polite. We even had wine recommendations to go with our meals...

The staff is amazing. The food is also good. The location couldn't have been better. You can see the reindeer while you have breakfast (in summer time at least). They have 5 restaurants, a disco, a pool (billar) to play, 4 bars. What else do you need?

Nice hotel! Great balconies n steam rooms.

Since there was a sauna, it was enjoyable during the 3 days I spent there!

We stayed in a cottage indimenticabile.Il Arran holiday is really at the edge of the forest, great location and full of nature. The kitchen is equipped with all comforts and the kitchen is well equipped. We were lucky enough to see the aurora borealis 3 times, a real delight. The owner helped us step by step in the booking and also for the activities we did. We hope to be back!

We are delighted with our experience in this beautiful cottage. It is a very comfortable house, very well equipped and with a unique charm. The cottage has everything you need for a wonderful holiday in Lapland, in the nature and in an outlying environment. Thank you

Beautiful log house amidst snow covered forest, excellent amenities, very responsive administrative team

Easy and uncomplicated check-in, check-out, nice sauna and cosy fireplace. Ideal stay for two pairs or a family.
