"The apartment is very beautiful and the view outside feels so magical for someone living in Asia. Did not manage to use the sauna there as we were too cold and tired from our daily activities. The shower perhaps need a blind as friends staying there may not feel private enough when showering (for family maybe ok). Johanna is very friendly and warm. Am so glad to have meet her. Shout out to Johanna and Owner of Haistila, THANK YOU AND WE ENJOY THE STAY "

"Wer die Stille und Natur sucht, ist in diesem Haus genau richtig. Eine gut eingerichtet Küche, zwei große Schlafzimmer und ein helles Wohnzimmer mit Blick auf den See laden zum Verweilen ein.Wir haben die Zeit genossen und würden wieder kommen."

"We had an amazing time over Christmas 2023. The villa is modern with all expected facilities and more(impressive pantry contents provided), the sauna and Hot tub were used frequently with views outside that you would only imagine on a Christmas postcard.
Kimmo(owner) was excellent throughout our stay and was always available to answer questions. Nearest supermarket is 10-15 minutes away and includes a store where you can buy alcoholic drinks. Kalle and Pete were great as snowmobile guides - I...

"I want to start this review by saying that we are NOT hotel snobs. As long as a room is clean, we are happy.
The good stuff – the little red cabin was very cute and very clean. It was sparse and rustic inside but had a dining set and two beds which is exactly what we needed for our one-night stay.
The not-so-good stuff - I was honestly shocked to learn that we were expected to pay €10 PER PERSON for bed sheets and towels. Those are not optional luxuries — they are a fundamental part of any accommodation. They directly affect comfort, hygiene, and sleep quality. Charging extra for something so fundamental felt unreasonable and frankly inappropriate. Bed linens are a basic expectation in any accommodation. Even a budget hostel we stayed at in Helsinki included sheets and towels as standard. We declined to pay the additional fee out of pure principle. As a result, I slept fully clothed, on top of the comforter and under my coat. While I managed, this is not something any guest should have to experience.
Overall, while the cabin itself was charming and clean, the additional charge for bed linens significantly impacted our experience.

"Everything was excellent - clean room with staff very helpful throughout! There isn’t much amenities so bring your own amenities, but large room with private sauna was just perfect hideaway for a family with children. Will definitely visit again!"
"What a great find; such a unique location just outside of town. This is an old forestry school and we appreciated the thoughful nods to its history. The front desk was SO helpful and friendly. Upon checking in, our room was on the 2nd floor. My friend sprained her ankle the day before and I asked if they had an elavator (they dont) but they offered to change our room and move us to the first floor to make it easier. This was such a kind gesture and much appreciated. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable beds!
The lobby is super fun. You can buy snacks and they had some fun trinkets and souvenirs. There were always a few people hanging out watching the Olympics with a beer or coffee. You can get beverages and hot drinks from reception. They also have a bar/lounge area that looked fun.
The restaurant was fabulous. The food was SO good. Definitely make sure to eat at least one meal there! Get the Reindeer Soup. We ate dinner here twice; the first time was out of convenience after travelling all day, the second time out of choice.
We had reserved the barrel sauna and river ice plunge. The owner Mikko, escorted us down to the river and was very helpful in getting the sauna going and chipping away at the ice so we felt comfortable getting up and down the ladder leading into the river.
We loved everything about this place. Having a car was definitely helpful, as it is 15 minutes from Rovaniemi. Thank you for a great stay!"
"Bit unfair to single out one person from the group of staff who were all very professional and super friendly BUT the Check in lady on Saturday morning 24th January was exceptional, an absolute credit to Scandic. In regards amenities, we had 2 rooms and they were clean and met our needs for our stay in Kemi.
We also ate in the Bistro and found the service and food to be very good."
