Emerson Siimer

It was the most beautiful resort located in the magical forest. Amenities were amazing from the private hot tub to sauna to the dinner and breakfast.

Located in the heart of Rovaniemi the hotel had everything. With well stocked refrigerator and hygiene necessities to unique design of each room. The hotel has very private touch. Highly efficient high tech .

So much fun The dogs were so happy and well kept

Ruslan, tour guide, is very knowledgeable and passionate about the city. Tour was very well planned

We didn't see aurora but it was our guide fault. He was very helpful and knowledgeable

Lots of fun

Very unique and authentic. We got to see aurora at the lake as the bonus

Nice and comfortable. Great touch with a private sauna in the room. Was a little cold being outside of the hotel proper. We had a few bags and was difficult to get to room on checkin and bags to lobby on checkout. Food was FANTASTIC! We were totally excited and were tastefully surprised. Dining room as awesome but very cold by the glass. Heat was a little light and definitely needed the provided blankets to be near the glass for the amazing night views.

Fantastic staff! They got is checked in and informed us our breakfast bags will be ready in the morning. Never had to ask. We were there for just an overnight stay and the room was unbelievable. Quaint and quiet to get a great night sleep before our early morning departure to catch our flight. Definitely would enjoy staying there again!

Our hosts and tour guide were amazing! Lots of info and stories. Examples and samples were great. Perfect timing to warm up on a very cold morning!

Super time to see the animals that were available to be seen. We were there during extreme cold weather so picture we made were great!

Both ladies (forget their names correctly) were exceptionally accommodating with our group. Talked about the history behind the Finnish Horses and our horse that was pulling the sleigh. Nice stories. We were lucky and the 2nd night in a row, we saw Northern Lights. Activity was too fast and in the middle of snowing -- no good pictures.

AMAZING! Early in the tour seemed it might be a little disappointing with slight cloud cover. We got lucky! Very pretty lights of many colors.

I would stay here again.

I am glad we did it & I would take the overnight train to Lapland again. It was easy and an interesting travel experience for my kids. They never took an overnight train before!

Loved this hotel / glass cabin. We loved the whole trip but if forced to pick we all liked Northern Lights Ranch / Levi the best - quiet, snow, stars, etc.

If you really want to try your best to see the Northern Lights, I recommend that you do this tour in Levi.

I always ask everyone in my family to tell me their favorite thing we did on the trip. My 11 year old daughter and I picked the snowmobile trip! None of us had ever been snowmobiling before and it was a fun and beautiful adventure. The latest my 13 year old son has said is that he liked so much he can’t pick a favorite thing, but he had listed the snowmobile trip up there as a possibility when asked earlier :)

We all enjoyed this - great food and fun sauna experience and interesting to be in a Finnish family’s home . My 16 year old son rated this as his favorite activity of the trip!

I’m really rating a different experience to be 4 stars and I would probably rate the kennel experience listed here as 5 stars if I had gone. Due to weather, our originally booked experience was changed and we were given the option to go with the change or cancel for a refund. Due to weather and being tired from New Year’s the night before, we opted to cancel our trip to the kennel since given the option and then at the last minute, Lilla helped us organize a shorter husky ride at Santa’s Husky Rides - the kennel’s satellite location in Santa Claus Village (at this moment I loved Lilla - they wouldn’t let me book a guaranteed time slot myself but said I could walk in, but I thought to ask Lilla if she could get them to give me a time slot and she did and arranged our transportation to / from!). I think we would have liked to go out to the kennel (and you should do it if you can!) but if you can’t - I was very thankful for Lilla’s last minute help to book the shorter ride so we could still get a taste of it.

My 13 year old son caught one fish and the guide caught one fish but ice fishing was up there on my husband and 13 year old son’s top activities of the trip. They really liked being out on the ice with the guides and my 13 year old really liked grilling sausages on the fire out there.

It turns out my family is not really in New Year’s parties. If your family wants to attend a party, I think this would be fun.

Everyone thought this was a fun, interesting activity. In the end, my 11 year old daughter didn’t want to put the suit on and go in, and I didn’t force her to & it was no problem for her to stay in the kota while we did it.

Nice large room and bathroom and great breakfast buffet.

Being able to feed the Reindeer and walk among them was super cool. The sleigh rides was nice but super short.

We had a two bedroom villa and it was very spacious and comfortable. Modern decor and lots of amenities, including full kitchen and laundry machine (which was helpful as we had a long trip and it was convenient to do laundry during our stay). The villa also has a sauna which was nice to use, as it was private and convenient. The location of our villa was close to a lake. Beautiful surroundings. Breakfast was simple but adequate. The only minor negative was that we stayed outside the main season and the restaurant was not open for dinner. Because of the location, we needed to drive to find places to eat.

This was our first hotel in Finland and it was a dream. We loved the room, the breakfast, and the experiences we had at the bar. Staff were also very friendly. The view of our room was amazing and will recommend wholeheartedly for anyone who wants to have an amazing experience in Helsinki. Our room had a view of the water and the hotel was close to all the attractions. A five star experience…

A unique experience with a beautiful view. It felt like we were sleeping in the forest; a truly treehouse experience. Beautiful, modern decor and amenities. This was the smallest property we stayed at, but the room included a small sitting area. Our stay here was all about the view! Sleeping among the trees was amazing! We also ate at the restaurant and the service and food were outstanding.

The hotel was authentic and beautiful surroundings (across a park), but location was a bit far from the river area where most restaurants are located. Also, decor was a bit tired and the room didn’t have many amenities.

The hotel and our suite room were beautiful. Nice decor modern decor, friendly staff, great amenities, and great breakfasts! Location was in the center of town with access to many shops and restaurants. We ate at the hotel restaurant and the food was amazing!

Excellent location and beautiful suite with a small view of the water and park. The luxurious surroundings were comfortable and the suite was beautifully decorated with amenities. Our room had a lot of character with beautiful architectural details. We ate at the restaurant and the service and food were very good.

Excellent private tour to give you a sense of the city and the significance of Suomenlinna Island. Perfect tour to do at the start of the trip. The guides were excellent and covered a lot of information in relatively short amount of time (as we requested). We wanted a shorter tour for both the city and the island and this tour was perfect .

Excellent guide (Jolentha). The private tour was perfect to experience the culinary delicacies of Finland. We learned a lot and the experience enhanced our overall culinary experiences during the rest of our trip. Very authentic and enjoyable experience. The Guide selected authentic experiences.

Amazing private tour with Jeff. The guide was very personable, we got to know a lot about the forest and we interacted a lot during the hike to get to know each other. The tour included a wonderful stew prepared by Jeff, including mushrooms that we gathered during our hike.m! This is a must to do!

We were very happy to add the day trip to Tallinn to our itinerary. Highly recommend to visit the beautiful old city and learn about its history. We took the ferry and had a great private tour of the city when we arrived. We were also lucky to meet our travel planner (Emerson) who lives in Estonia. After meeting with Emerson for a quick snack/lunch we had a private tour of the city. The guide (Christopher) was very knowledgeable and we learn a lot about Tallinn and its history.

Enjoyed the authenticity of the tour. We learned a lot about the reindeers and the life of a reindeer farmer.

The experience was awesome, despite the bad weather. Unfortunately we were not able to see the Northern lights, as it was cloudy and rainy. But the meal was excellent and authentic, and the tour was very enjoyable.

This was a nice tour to learn about Finnish culture and legends. The tour met in downtown Rovaniemi, a short walk from our hotel. We were two couples in this experience. Because we were with another couple, we didn’t get to interact as much with the guides and get to know each other as with other private tours.

We love this tour as it allowed us to be active an hike in the wilderness. The guide, Juhu, was excellent. We had great conversation throughout the hike, and enjoyed sausages around the fire during the hike. Juhu, our guide communicated with us before the tour to advise us on what to wear for the hike, as weather was rainy. We were ready for the weather and thoroughly enjoyed the hike despite the weather.

This was an excellent tour, filled with excitement, joy, and warmth. Instead of a cart ride we opted for a hike with the huskies. What an experience in such beautiful setting. We got to know the huskies one by one in the kennel, and then we had an exhilarating hike with four of the huskies; the two of us and the couple who owns the farm. Our hosts were Antti and Aksana. Their welcoming and warm demeanor made our tour extraordinary!
