The room was very tight and did not offer much place for storing bags. If staying here, you would need to spend your time in the common areas or outside. Speaking of outside - in the middle of July there are hundreds of mosquitoes and flies, probably due to the river flowing right next to the camping. You should be well prepared to handle such nuisances, if you are coming all this way!

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.

Room was quite warm, if something need to mention.

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.

everything was better than expected.

Loved this property and wish we could have stayed longer. Anita was lovely. The cottage we stayed in was warm and cozy--we were able to see the northern lights over the lake from our window. We loved having the option for the group WhatsApp when northern lights were spotted. The food delicious: the best we had during our entire trip. We had free access to snow shoes to hike on our own on nearby trails. And we enjoyed the private sauna experience as well as the visit with the Emma's reindeer. Overall, could not have been a better experience.

It is located in the middle of nowhere but that's why its too dark and very good for sightseeing auroras

Very authentic. Lovely fireplace. All equipped kitchen. Very good staff and Whatsapp group for the auroras. Very good for the value.

There was nothing I didn't like ! I wish we could go more often but Lapland is far away!

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 👌

It was all amazing, could not fault anything.

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!

There’s no such thing to not like there. Maybe the public transport options to other towns/cities are limited which is the case in most places except for big cities. In winters renting a car is highly recommended.

Amazing experience. Location is remote and far from light pollution, perfect to witness the northern lights. They have all the required equipment and facilities to support that like gears and fire cabins, one by a river. Their reindeer farm is amazing as well. The staffs are very nice and helpful. They were able to arrange me a birthday cake on short notice which meant a lot. This place is a real winter wonderland indeed.

Nothing to mention here. It was perfect.

Amazing experience. It is remote, but that makes it an excellent location for experiencing the wild and watching the aurora. The facilities and the room was very well. The staff were very friendly and always helpful. I enjoyed my time there and will definitely return to this place.

A wonderful place to see the Northern Lights and for northern activities. You're immersed in full nature of lapland and the hosts are always available for whatever request. No light pollution, no chaos, just the perfect place for the aurora. The structure has also all the necessary tools and dresses for the polar nights, rented for free for the guests during the entire stay.

Nothing I can remember. My room was cold when the temperature dropped suddenly one night. I was on my own so borrowed the portable heater from the bathroom for a while and soon my lovely tiny room was warm. The previous night there were several guests and I think they lit the large wood burner in the lounge area in middle of cabin and I had not done this.

Exceptional. A beautiful frosty dawn was quite magical. When I visited Sliida, the Sami museum in Narvic, I thought Giellajohka, (Sami spelling for Kielajoka,) had many similar buildings. Comfortable interiors and basic facilities providing everything you need in a delightful Sami look village. No reindeer or Beth their Sami herder were present during my stay in September but I just loved wandering around the river and admiring the variety of cabins.

Taking care of vegetarians/vegans. I loved the cat "Miuku" that lived there. Friendly service.

Location is perfect for the travellers from / to North. This is one great place to stay, as the room is very comfortable, kitchen is well equipped and wifi connection is strong -- the last one is very important, as the network signal is very weak at this region. There is a restaurant on-site that works quite late, until 9pm.

Charming location in the middle of nowhere, on the way to Norway. Our room was small but functional. The common areas were warm and comfortable with everything we needed in the shared kitchen.

Location in a beautiful location. The hosts are very nice and helpful. Comfortable beds, clean rooms. Good WiFi coverage. Kitchenette and fridge in common areas. We didn't use the breakfast as we left early but dinner in the restaurant was very good.

The employees are very kind, helpful and friendly. Especially Lots of love to Anita at the reception. Emma s reindeers farm is also located in the facility. You can pet, feed and take a tour with reindeers. Also emma can tell lots of details about Sami lifesyle and tradition. Husky tour was amazing. On the other hand, If you rent a car you can drive to nordkapp for 3 hours. Or santa clausvillage in roveniemi drive for 3 hours from the giellajohka. We catched up the Aurora borealis almost allnight during our stay. Just you need in here is clear sky to see northern lights. We treasured up great memories here. I hope we will meet again in future. Guys you are amazing. Facility is cozy. Note: Ski and snow shoeing equipment we used freely.
