“Wonderfull place for birders”

Comfortable apartment with all the amenities. Nice located at the river. Very friendly staff who gave us good tips where to look for birds. Restaurant and bar in side. Recommended.

“Amazing place”

- very cosy and clean rooms , well equipped kitchen, friendly staff .... The whole place is very beautiful and authentic 🌞 we loved it there and 100% gonna be back

“Great experience”

Beautiful place, modern facilities , amazing views from the window , friendly staff,

Free rental of snowshoes and skis, and a lot of other free equipment. View from the room was awsome.

“Perfect place to go in holidays !”

We liked everything The owners are very nice; we strongly recommend the restaurant (in particular the reindeer tartar 🤩) Breakfast is nice. Well located : not too much crowded, very nice place with a lot of activities (you can borrow skis at the reception) The room is clean and you have a beautiful view The breakfast is nice as well

Giellajohka is a hidden gem. The pictures do it no justice. The 3 days we spent there were the most magical, we had magnificent views of the Northern lights from our room (stayed in the tower cabin) and from across the river. They have a lovely set up to watch for the auroras outside, a teepee set up with fire to keep you warm while you wait. Anita, Jouni and their team are so friendly and accommodating to their guests. We did snowmobile one day and snowshoeing the next day. All winter activities can be booked on site. The sauna was a bonus and we even braved taking an icy plunge in the river. The resort is quite a drive from Ivalo airport but totally worth it if you want to see the northern lights. All on all, we had the most relaxing few days at Giellajohka and look forward to returning soon.

“Friendly and helpful staff. The dinner was excellent and absolutely delicious, and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosp”

The place was very nice, the room was well equipped and the whole cottage was nice. The host was very accommodating and we felt right at home.

“I hope to come back.”

The location is the best we see auroras the last day. The personal are very nice and hepful.I hope to come back.

“Awesome, we got to saw the northern lights and we went ice fishing, cross country skiing and fed the reindeers.”

Quiet and peaceful, beautiful cabins along the frozen river

“perfect spot for aurora”

Modern, clean, cosy house in the middle of untouched nature, accommodation has everything you need, nice staff

My first choice accommodation when visiting Lapland.Each time I stayed here, Aurora always dancing all through the night.

“Great stopover in the polar region!”

The camping was well laid out, featured sufficient space for parking, as well as great common areas, e.g. a decently sized and fully functioning kitchen, decent shared bathrooms (with sufficient number to be utilized by the present guests). The location makes for a good stopover for crossing the Norway - Finland border and continuing your journey in these wild polar lands.

“Perfect spot middle of nowhere”

Perfect spot middle of nowhere. Very friendly staff and suberb to have sauna after cold day. Dinner in the evening at restaurant was very good, one of the best burgers, I have ever had. It´s a pity that we were in hurry on morning and didn´t have a change to try their breakfast, because based on dinner, breakfast would have been good for sure.

“Excellent”

Stunning property in the midst of unspoilt nature.

Very good service, clean, delicious food, beautiful houses

“Breathtaking Trip”

It was perfect! The combination of the relaxed Finnish atmosphere - staff were fantastic, really made the holiday better. The place is breathtaking, the snowmobiling and husky sledding was amazing. This really was the trip of a lifetime and made so much better by the staff and the venue - the on site restaurant was fantastic 👌

“Highly recommended stay next to Kaamanen - Second night”

Awesome location with beautiful surroundings, with lots of activities. Beautiful main building with a lot of charm and character (and cute cats). Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended stay!

“Amazing accommodation in a beautiful location”

The accommodation arranged our transfers from Ivalo airport and that went smoothly. The driver (Jouni) stopped at the local supermarket so we could stock up on supplies. The accommodation (we stayed in the Halla cabin) was self-catering but there is an excellent restaurant on site that does breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can decide how many meals you want to make yourself vs eating in the restaurant. The cabin was excellent - glass on both sides of the living area, one side had a terrace and looked towards the frozen river, and the other side faced the reindeer farm. There was a wood fire and wood (and fire starters) was supplied. Heating was also provided by a hot air heater, it was all very effective. The bedroom had glass on one side, looking towards the river. All windows had electric black-out blinds, which were also effective. The bathroom was really nice too. We went on a few excursions, ie, snow shoeing, cross country skiing and ice fishing. I highly recommend all of them. We were provided with a thermal suit when we wanted one (important for ice fishing as not moving around very much). To get to the ice fishing lake, we had a sleigh ride behind a snowmobile, very exciting! We caught several fish and the chef prepared a delicious starter with them that night in the restaurant - delicious! There was total silence, something I have rarely experienced. Being in a remote location, there was only occasional sound of human noise. A real treat and something to be cherished in this noisy world. And we got to see the northern lights from our cabin, three nights out of five! I 100% recommend this accommodation, we are planning our next visit!
