The apartment we had was perfect for 2 people. We spent one night but would have been perfect for a longer vacation. The resort is very easy to find and just 15 minutes drive from Saariselka. The sauna in the bathroom is functioning well, it also had a timer so we had it on when we came back from Aurora hunting and we could warm up before bed.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The breakfast was fantastic, and my room was a charming little cabin with a picturesque view. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary sauna, and my room had all the amenities I needed. The staff were exceptionally sweet, nice, and friendly, providing all the information we required. The check-in desk, located in a charming bar that even offers karaoke options, providing a fun tone right from the start.Plus, the proximity of restaurants to the cabin made dining out incredibly convenient. I highly recommend staying here for the great atmosphere, convenient location, and excellent service!

If you're going skiing, Saariselkä is a good option and you can stay there for a week, for example.
If you are looking for the Northern Lights, maybe 3 nights would be ok, but you you should pray for good weather, with clear skies, and , of course, for the aurora to appear.

Saariselka has everything you need for a winter lapland trip! The ski resort is at walking distance, there are more than three DMC's to chose from when booking trips, there are plenty of restaurants and pubs. THe supermarket is big for a small town and offers all you need. Note that you can't buy wine in the supermarket but there's a small store next to it called Alko where you can pick up a bottle of wine.

It is a small and quiet town. Air is very fresh. Trees with snow on it are very beautiful. You can have many snow activities here. If you stay several days and the weather is good, you may have opportunity to see Aurora.
Bus is very convenient. You can go from Rovaniemi. You can also take bus to Ivalo and Ivalo airport.
Restaurants are very good in this small town.

It is a very beautiful place, but it is expensive. I just stayed for one night in a beautiful cabin. I think that the food is ok and also there could be some more interesting things to in the Hotel do when it gets dark.

You can do many activities - skiing, biking, hiking, relaxing, observing, and enjoying Lapland nature. You have a big chance to see the Aurora Borealis. There is a very comfortable and understandable system of day huts and wilderness huts with essential equipment in and out of the national park — an excellent place for people who love nature.
Ilkka has been very kind, helping us to get the best experience for our holiday in Lapland.
The apartment is very comfortable with lots of services: kitchen (with lots of tools to cook), bathroom (large and clean), private sauna (perfect after a whole day in the snow).
The apartment position is perfect because it is only 10 minutes from Saariselkä (where there are supermarkets, coffee, resturants and shops) and it is also isolated from any light pollution: we were lucky to see the Northen Lights just outside the apartment!
Location is close to the entrance in Saariselka coming from the main national road. Very good for cross-country skiing access, but you need to take the ski bus if you are there for the alpine skiing. Everything else is in 10' walk range. Good restaurants and pubs nearby.
Very clean and decent apartment, with all you need for a very comfortable stay. Excellent insulation, very nice electric sauna - very well equipped kitchen. Nice TV and great variety of channels and we watched the winter Olympics :-)
The hotel was on top of the Kaunispaa fell which is the best place to see aurora in Saariselka and also has magnificant view. It is also very close to the ski centre that offers excellent ski and snowboarding opportunities.
You need to make reservation for Kaunis Restourant. It is worth it with excellent taste of dishes.
We stayed in aurora cabin. Very clean and comfy. Best view in day and night.
There was so many options in breakfast.
This is an amazing place. Close enough to Saariselka to have everything (shops, ski resort and general infrastructure), but far enough to be on our own in the middle of Lapland. Yes, this is one of the places where you can actually see the northern lights from your front door.
Besides that the apartment is suuuper functional, we could've easily lived here months without missing anything. One of the best places we've ever been!
Breakfast was served from 07 to 10 and was a very traditional Finnish hotel breakfast. My room economy room was located at the very far end of the hotel but as a spry young man I didn't mind doing the steps every now and then. As for location, the accommodation is located in the heart of Saariselkä in the middle of everything with good access to whatever you may want to reach by foot or by vehicle.
This is our dream place to stay. The aurora cabins are amazing and the staffs are all nice (reception, restaurant, clothing room for an activity). Breakfast was delicious. Dinner buffet was also great (grilled fish is the best). View from our cabin and surrounding nature was superb!!!!. We also booked the husky ride with the hotel and it was our best experience in Finland. Love this place :)
This villa offers everything you need for a cozy stay, including a spacious sauna, wood burning fireplace, full kitchen, comfortable beds and a stand-up dryer to handle.not only.your laundry, but to quickly dry your snow gear after a day on the slopes or trails. The bedrooms are actually much bigger than anything we've seen yet in Lapland and have very nice storage space included.
Location of Ruokto's apartment is excellent. There's everything around right from good restaurants to sovenier shop.
We were lucky to see the Auroras just outside the home on the very 1st night. The house is just 50 mts from the inter city bus stop.
The house has everything that we needed. A very comfortable and super clean house. If in Saariselka, best home to stay.
The apartment we had was perfect for 2 people. We spent one night but would have been perfect for a longer vacation. The resort is very easy to find and just 15 minutes drive from Saariselka. The sauna in the bathroom is functioning well, it also had a timer so we had it on when we came back from Aurora hunting and we could warm up before bed.
-The experience of being in the middle of nature and experiencing aurora boreal in addition to many other winter activities
-The staff was incredibly friendly and will drop/pick you up anywhere, very accommodating and open to help
-The hotel is efficient and well thought out. We loved having a sauna and jacuzzi
It’s a compact but very comfortable and well equipped apartment in a good location to walk to the market, restaurants, ski park, Husky & Co., Lapland safaris, etc. for all the activities. The large dryer was a great addition to help all the layers dry out by morning. Sauna in the bathroom also very nice.
It is a very unique arctic property. You feel that you are in an enchanted part of winter wonderland. Great log cabins with glass igloos so you can see the Northern Lights. Customer Service is of utmost quality! The Owner himself is always available, and his staff is highly professional.
Lovely little chalet ,warm& cosy ,my 2nd stay at saariselka in Sopppuka chalet . Parking just outside with a car heater point which was a bonus with temperatures down to minus24degrees. The chalet is well kitted out ,close to restaurants, tour companies & the ski bus stop .
Obviously staying in a glass igloo is pretty special we had two wonderful nights. A weak Aurora, but I hose you can't control. Breakfast was great and they make you feel welcome here. So we can warmly recommend this place for a special couple's break.
Great appartment and good location in centre of Saariselka. Checking in was easy and staff at the reception was helpfull.
Bar and lounge at the hotel are very nice and had a great meal at the restaurant.
The staff are helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a great area, in walking distance to a shopping center and restaurants. The room was clean and spacious (we had a 1-bedroom apartment).
The location was really nice, but I have to put a lot of effort into getting breakfast in the morning since it is far away about 4km away from the hotel, but overall, the hotel was quite amazing!
The owners were very helpful and also the location was amazing, very close to the centre of Saariselka by car! We just loved the small street where the accommodation is!
This was our 2nd Stay with Holiday Club Saariselka and we loved the convenience and the comfort of staying in the apartments of Holiday Club Saariselka
