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.

What travellers are saying
- Mikhail_KuklinFinland17 contributionsNuuksio is a great park suitable as for families with kids (short routes from 2 km) and for people without kids (routes up to 8 km). Nature is beautiful as everywhere in Finland.
There are also some open places for grill but keep in mind that they are usually occupied within popular hours so take a sandwich just in case :)Written 7 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Only about 35 minutes from Helsinki, Kaitalampi lake in Luukki recreation area provides nice trails and several cooking shelters for spending a day outdoors.Written 24 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StalevarEspoo, Finland771 contributionsReally OLD church in the old part of Espoo. It is really looks cool. Inside is very inspiring and well decorated, with paintings on the ceiling and walls. During christmas time it is even better decorated for sure. Located near Swedish old cemetery. It is interesting to walk around as well, reading text on graves.
Impressive church and impressive piece of Finnish history! recommend to come and seeWritten 6 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Atmospheric, many animals and birds, in the middle of that is located wonderful Villa Elfvik, as a Nature House where kids can learn more about nature and creatures. There is cafe there as well. Inside is retro style and very interesting, though the exhibition is super modern and interactive.
Like this place a lot. Located nicely between Espoo and Helsinki on the seashore (actually it is a bay Laajalahti).
Great to spend a day with family, trailing there both walking and on bikes, birdwatching and just enjoying nature!

Good to shop in and easy access public transportation. The mall has easy access to trains, busses and taxis. There are better malls in Finland, but still a great place.Written 20 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MohitoHelsinki, Finland19 contributionsI were Camping there with my friend and our kids. We didnt stay at camping area, we were staying In the forest next by the lake.
There is many places to stay In the forest, i recommend to find your own cool place to stay, instead of boring camping area.
There is free toilets and drinking water 24/7 at the beach,kids big playground, restaurant, outdoor gym and other sports, and lots of stuff to do.
Nature is beautiful, and it was easy place to go with small children.Written 9 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Metro is the most convenient and easiest way to arrive here.
It was our first time here and we were a little bit lost. We wanted to find the Rosso restaurant but the info screens didn't show it. After a search, we finally found the restaurant.
This place is full of shops and restaurants. You can find also grocery stores, the Finnkino cinema, and the Dudesons Activity Park.Written 1 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The aftersales service with slow, unhelpful and challenging in their response. The end result being they offered to reduce the cost of new covers. This would of course not have alleviated the greater problem.
Given the high prices charged one would expect both better quality products and a higher level of service. We are now seeking to buy another sofa from another company entirely.
Avoid Vepsalainen at all costs,Written 6 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
