I really enjoyed our stay at the Guest House. It was an incredible few days in Rovaniemi that I will cherish forever in my memory. The accommodation was simply spectacular, and the bed was super comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming; he picked us up at the train station and even gave us a ride back to the bus station on our departure, in addition to helping us with various questions about transportation and other things. My husband and I loved the city of Rovaniemi and our stay at the guest house. I am very grateful to the hosts for their hospitality.

Eco Unela is the most beautiful and charming place that I have seen after traveling for different continents. Riita the owner is pure magic as the place. Every single thing is made with “ love and soul “. You breath the mist natural and fresh air possible and with connection with nature is just amazing. The cabin is simple but it has all you need. There’s no electricity or running water inside but you don’t need it. Instead you have the fire, candles and flashlights. We loved the trekking in the forest using the snow shoes we borrow from Riita, the ski was very fun and the sauna is the best In the world. Riita shared some time with us and we really enjoyed the friendship we created. This entire experience meant a lot to us. Don’t hesite to stay in this place, it can be different but 100% worthy.

Perfect location in the town centre of Rovaniemi and close to public transport. The owner was kind and helpful - he showed me the right bus to go to the brewery and let me store my luggage after check-out. The room had everything I needed during a winter stay - warmth, a comfy bed, towels, my own sink, a fridge and a kettle. It's also cleaned daily. The shared bathroom is nice and well-maintained, with hot water and great water pressure. I never had to wait to use it - it was always available each time I needed to shower. Thank you for everything :)

    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!
