The guesthouse itself. It looks much better in actual. Very warm and cosy. With glass walls, I was finally able to enjoy a good view of snow without getting cold. I arrived way too early. I just plan to leave my luggage and go to Santa Village but the host Jussi offered to take me to the village by car. Very accommodating. Really appreciated. Will definitely come back and stay longer. ❤️

The kindness of the hostess above all, the wild surroundings, the traditional sauna (with cold bath!), the simple yet cozy cabin, the fact that you can borrow snowshoes and skis, and the night sky views! We stayed one night and would have happily extended it if we had had the flexibility!

Boasting a sauna, GuestHouse Arctic Heart is located in Rovaniemi. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The room was very big, comfortable and clean. We had an extra bed. The shower always had warm water. It wasn’t always clean but they did clean it every day and it got dirty because of the other guests. The common kitchen was well equipped and there were some free stuff that we could use like spices, oil and garlic. Great location! The owners are really nice and this place was so homey for us. I would definitely come back again!

This family-run property is 200 metres from Rovaniemi Station. It offers en-suite guest rooms with free WiFi and parking. The main street, Rovakatu, is about 10 minutes’ walk away.

Borealis’ guest rooms have a bathroom with shower and include access to a fully equipped shared kitchen. Guests can book reindeer and husky safaris, guided hiking trips and other activities.

Guesthouse Borealis is located outside the center, but all the city's attractions are within walking distance. Rovaniemi is a safe city. Several times I returned to the guesthouse alone at night (after waiting for the northern lights) and did not feel unsafe, even though the streets were virtually empty. During my stay, I had a serious problem and a young long-haired girl from the reception who often came with a large dog (maybe the daughter of the owners of the guesthouse?) helped me in an extraordinary way. When staying in this guesthouse, you can be sure that if you have a serious problem, they will not leave you alone, they will help you.

    The flat is very comfy and clean, nice designed has everything you could need. Super central location - short walk (5 mins max) away from city centre, main shopping centres and Arktikum museum! Sami and Tiina were lovely hosts, super accommodating and kind. Very responsive! I loved my stay - lovely flat. It was a bit too cold to enjoy the balcony but would be perfect to be on the balcony in summer! Highly recommended!
