Best Pet friendly Hotels in Northern Lapland

Staffs are kind and good at English so I didn't have any difficulty of communication. I recommend to buy a spa included ticket and enjoy the Finnish sauna. For the foods, you have to pay for the dinner buffet but the quality is really good. It was worth every penny. There was nothing inconvenient at all. If I had to pick one, there were no amenities in the bathroom only except soap.

The resort hotel in Surrey Hills has large rooms and a sauna, which is very convenient for your own operation. The balcony of the room was facing a small wood, and the scenery after the heavy snow was beautiful. In addition to Finnish and English, there are Japanese in the hotel. No wonder there are many Japanese tourists here, but most of them are middle-aged and elderly. After the Spring Festival, I made a lap in Lapland. There are only few Chinese in Surrey. The ski area here is also very empty, but the snow quality is first-rate.

We were lucky enough to win a week in the Holiday Club in a draw from Inghams Holidays! My lady gave way to a silver-tongued salesperson at an event and gave her email address never believing it would ever be her that wins. Then she nearly deleted the notification email as it was probably a scam. And so we were off to lands well north of the Arctic Circle in the middle of January. Neither of us were skiers so we weren’t sure what to expect. And we are both in our mid-70s so we weren’t going to take many risks. It's a three-hour coach trip from Kittila Airport to Saariselka including a 20-minute rest stop. The first stop in Saariselka was to get issued with heavy overalls, snow boots and mittens which are vital for temperatures of around -25c to -30c which was what we experienced. The hotel is in the centre of town and most places are walkable. Temperatures indoors were pleasant, not hot, but to go outside needed around 20 minutes to put on the kit to go outside. While we were there the sun rose about 11 am and set around 2.30 pm but there was another hour or two of reasonable light. The rooms were basic with twin beds easily pushed together and the continental individual duvets. Bathroom was fine. Lighting in the room was OK but could have been brighter. There’s a TV but the only English programmes were subtitled. The rooms aren’t serviced during the stay but we asked the rep and he organised the cleaners to change towels and empty bins mid-week. We had half-board so breakfast and dinner were buffet service and the food was filling and plentiful. My lady is vegetarian and the rep told the kitchen and they provided a fresh-cooked vegetarian dish for every dinner just for her which was easily added to with the salads and vegetables on the buffet. Dinner was usually soup with two main meat or fish courses plus plentiful bread, vegetables and salads. There was usually just one choice of sweet plus endless hot drinks and an adjacent bar. During the week we were there large numbers of French came and went plus some oriental parties. A couple of times we encountered a rather full house but the turnover of tables is quick and the food doesn’t seem to run out. There is a swimming pool which seems to be for play rather than swimming plus a sauna and a spa but we didn’t try them. There’s no gym. Inghams offered excursions such as husky driving, reindeer farm visits, skiddoos plus there is a regular public bus service to the ski lifts. We found it delightful to walk the signed trails in the hills – a walking pole is useful. The silence in the woods is wonderful. Everyone wants to see the Northern Lights but that is entirely by luck. During our week there were plenty of sightings but the quality was not good. Enough to show you have seen them but not enough to be thrilled. Plenty of green but no reds or blues. I never knew that the vague wisps of white cloud can be seen as green by taking a picture! Amazing. One lesson we learned, don

Absolutely amazing family holiday! We booked through Tui, The Tui crew from the moment we arrived at Manchester airport until we arrived back 4 days later we’re absolutely FANTASTIC. Jolly Jamie , light up Luke, jazz Jingle, Jazz Jingle, cheeky elf, coco, emerald to name a few made our holiday absolutely fantastic. The hotel staff were all absolutely brilliant as well. The hotel itself is ready for a bit of a makeover but it’s a lovely warm environment with loads of character. The food was good enough for me for 4 days and I’m a fussy git. I can’t rave enough about this hotel, it’s staff and the Tui package provided to us. We will definitely do it again as Sariselka is also a great place. Thanks from the Riley family

The room is very large, there are 4 rooms, each of which is this twin bed, there are kitchen, sauna, washing machine, coffee machine, microwave, oven, refrigerator and other facilities, very convenient.

In terms of cost performance, this hotel is considered to be very high among glass house hotels. It was a little hard to find. After the bus got off the bus, it was too difficult to drag the luggage in the snow. Later, I contacted the hotel reception to send a car at my own expense. You can book sleigh rides, snowmobiles, aurora chasing and other projects at the hotel. Overall is good!

We didn't realise that when we booked 3 nights from 5 April, that we would be getting there a week or so before the spring close for a few months. But this probably made what was a fantastic break. Now I realise that for families, the December/January is a must for the whole Santa/Christmas/New Year experience. Combined with very cold temperatures, and snow covering everything. But when I heard that the resort caters for up to 800 guests, I can only imagine how mad busy it is, with people everywhere. For my family of four (daughters in their 20's) we were amongst only 40 other guests staying at the time. It was brilliant. There was still loads of snow on the ground but just the trees had shed theirs and were green. But there was no one in the other keto igloos around us and when we walked out most times there was no-one in sight and you could look far in the distance and just see snow, trees....and no humans. a true wilderness experience. We caught a slight glimpse of the Northern Lights on our first night but not really in full glory, but I think that's a chance you take at any time of the year. We did the snowmobile - Quite fun but the risk of paying up to 1200 euros for any damage caused (as told sternly by the guide) made us keep to the speed limits! The Reindeer Aurora Hunt in the evening was OK but if you don't get to see the lights can be a bit boring and hard work on the bum sitting in the sleigh. I can imagine that it could be even harder work in colder temperatures. The Husky ride was the best by far - Great stuff. I think two hours of each activity is enough. Breakfast options were a little limited, with yukky reindeer sausages. Would have been great to have a bacon option. The evening meals were lovely - Again, I believe that it's buffet style in peak season and I have read a lot of criticism. During this quieter time we were given menu options and enjoyed it every night. Definitely pack snacks with you if you can as they are very expensive at the resort. We spent a fair amount on cocktails for the girls and beer for me - Expensive but had good choices. No need to buy bottled water as the water coming from the tap was almost ”mountain spring” - And I should know as drinking water is my profession! I took a tip from another reviewer and had a small container that I asked reception to fill with milk which I took back to make our cuppa's- They don't sell milk, just provide those small sachets. We got the private taxi there and back - Good that it takes, and picks up from your accommodation. I could image it can be quite a trek getting luggage to and from some of the accommodation as they can be far away from reception. Staff were friendly but again, they were not under pressure and were all going home for a few months a week or so after our stay. So, in summary a great stay and if you don't need the Santa experience, but want a great service experience, then March / April would be better.

Stayed here 3 nights in early March with our son and daughter in law. Everything was absolutely perfect for the whole stay. Every single staff member and activity leader were so friendly, helpful and professional, the hotel should be very proud, as I'm sure they are. Food was excellent, good, tasty variety, plenty of seating, lovely surroundings and bar. Activities: Ice fishing - loved this, no fish but one of my best experiences, the frozen lake was so incredibly peaceful and beautiful, great guide too, he built a fire and cooked us delicious soup and bread; Husky sledding - fantastic! Dogs were so well looked after and we played with puppies, which was great fun; Aurora by mini bus, again fantastic as we were so lucky to see a great display of the Northern Lights, from a great location, a dream come true. Our son had an Aurora pod booked for that night and highly recommends it, could watch the aurora in comfort. Clothes they provide are perfect, the transport to and from airport excellent. Loved this place and I highly recommend it.
