Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very authentic Lapland expierience in warm and welcoming workshop. Irene and Atis are very expierienced craftsmen. We learned a lot about lifecycle of reindeer, arctic nature, old gods, elfs and why sami shoes are curved at top.
Kids loved making neclaces and earings from natural materials. Hosts where very helpful, Irene swiftly personalised the items.
The tea and cake where delicious. Home made blueberry juice very tasty.
If going back to Lapland this is the experience i would love to repeat again.

If you ever wanted to live and learn about the culture and lifestyle of this wonderful Lapland you are visiting from a true believer and practitioner in the old ways, search no further.
Spending the day in Irene and Ari’s heart warming workshop and loving home was a unique and fantastic experience.
Starting with the incomparable Irene, teaching you about the daily life of caring for a reindeer herd and living in the midst of the Laplandic wilderness from past times to modern times. Learning about the rich and unique history, tradition, hardships and beliefs of all the territories above the northern arctic circle from their own family ancestors experience. Then being shown how they personally craft and bring to life the art of these lands and heritage from the bounties of Mother Nature. You will learn and experience it all from possibly the warmest and most interesting character to be found in the country.
To give you a concrete example, when moving to the practical application of crafting, Ari and Irene designed on the spot and helped us craft a one of a kind pendulum for our yet to be born child from reindeer horn and traditional materials.
But the surprises don’t stop there, moving from their workshop to their own lovely home in the woods, you will be treated to a delicious spread of home baked local delicacies, cakes, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Above all the home made blueberries and lingonberry juice Irene makes from the berries she gathers herself is something indescribable that you will never get the chance to taste coming from a store.
In short this cultural experience is something that could easily go unnoticed in the middle of a catalogue offering exciting excursions with fancy action pictures. But take it from people that have actually had the privilege of spending a day with Irene and Ari; it will enrich your life and fill your heart with memories so much more while leaving you with a deep appreciation for the land, the traditions and the people of Lapland!
