Highly recommend, great place.

Great place. Spacious, beautiful, cozy and clean room. The bed and pillows were soft and comfortable, had a great sleep. Fabulous breakfast, plenty choices and freshly made varieties on the spot. The surrounding nature and river are breathtaking. Very friendly staff. Great spot to relax, enjoy the stunning nature and to observe the northern lights. We were blessed that the night of our stay the auroras showed up and we had the chance to enjoy the magical view at this picturesque hidden jam.

Best stay in Rovaniemi

Ok I have never written a review to any places we have stayed but this one deserves it and I do it gladly. It was the best stay of our lives. I wish we could have stayed longer. The place is surrounded by beautiful nature with easy access to very nice hikes. The room with glass ceiling was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Honestly I could live there no problem. The breakfast was delicious with many options and an amazing view. The staff were helpful and super kind and friendly. And the price was so affordable!! If I ever comeback to Rovaniemi, I know where to stay :)

Perfect to do all the activities you want to do in Lappland and have great food at one place.

We loved that all the activities were right there. Others came by huge buses to do the Husky sled ride and the snowmobile ride, but we just had to go by foot with in our hotel area. If you don't want to see more of Finnland you really don't have to leave the hotel area to enjoy your time there. The food was amazing! We had Breakfast and Dinner included. The menu is the same everyday, but if you only stay for a week it is perferct to try all the different typical finnish food. Also the restaurant interior and they way you basically sit in the snow, because 3 out of 4 walls are glass is amazing. Both of us can't eat gluten and lactose, which was not a probelm at all, as ALL of the menu items are lactose free and almost everything can be made glutenfree. Also right beside the hotel are amazing trails for hiking. People come to go for a hike there, but you basically just have to fall out of your room and are at this amazing bridge that everyone wants to see in this area. They also have a great Nothern Lights app! We saw them once!

The resort is set in a lovely location with many places to explore and discover the beauty of the Finnish wilderness. The staff here were very warm, friendly and eager to help! The aurora cabin we stayed in was amazing as it offers you the view of the night sky from your bed!

Such a shame we live so far away

The resort is located in a beautiful serene location. The comfort of our panoramic hut was beyond. We loved our stay.

Beautiful resort, great location

Vaattunki is such a lovely resort in a great location, with beautiful walking trails, chance to see the Northern lights and a short drive away from Santa Claus village and Rovaniemi city centre.

A place that feels like a movie – beautiful stay with great service

The place looks like it’s straight out of a movie—absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. The cabin and surroundings are stunning, and the service was excellent. Everything was clean, well organized, and the experience overall was amazing.

The weekend of your wildest childhood dreams!

I wanted to do something special for my partner’s birthday and this experience was absolutely wonderful! The location of your wildest childhood dreams, on the edge of a magical forest and frozen river. it has a remote feeling and at the same time you can conveniently reach the city centre by uber or taxi. Plenty of activities to do on site (huskies, reindeers etc), excellent food and cozy atmosphere! Staff is friendly and sooo helpful! They did their best to make sure we had an unforgettable time in Lapland. My partner is not easily impressed but he was amazed by this birthday weekend! If you are looking to do something special for someone with high standards I highly recommend this place!

Exceptional from start to finish, we want to come back

We enjoyed everything, food was nice, location was amazing and the resort itself had such nice views, staff was very respectful and nice, however due to the language barrier there was some confusion with certain things but not a problem whatsoever as they were very helpful and friendly, the rooms are very cozy and come equipped with a lot of amenities.
