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. 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.
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.
Location of Ruokto's apartment is excellent. There's everything around right from good restaurants to sovenier shop.
We were lucky to see the Auroras just outside the home on the very 1st night. The house is just 50 mts from the inter city bus stop.
The house has everything that we needed. A very comfortable and super clean house. If in Saariselka, best home to stay.
The apartment is exactly as advertised and more!
Great location, convenient and well equipped! Easy car park, shops, restaurants within walking distance, yet quiet and in the middle of Lappish nature.
Clearly, the hosts are passionate about Lapland and want to share this with their visitors. It made us feel very welcome and as if we were home, away from home.
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.
The hotel is incredibly cozy, clean and has amazing vibes during winter. It is really close to the slopes and any activities in Saariselka. They offer a private sauna experience and breakfast. Plenty of good restaurants at 5 mins distance.
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.
I loved everything about this trip. Your staff was wonderful and the front desk ladies were more than helpful! Breakfast was wonderful, as well as getting on the bus daily was so easy. I would suggest this hotel to anyone.
The hotel is at a good location and it is easy to find. The rooms are comfy and excellent beds, clean bathroom - also bathrobes available. Stable wifi. Friendly staff at the reception. No extra fee for parking.
Perfect location, in the heart of Saariselkä.
