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
- Bowen ZLondon, UK3 contributionsThe owner of the farm Satumarja was so friendly, so knowledgeable, and so patient with us even though we were a bit late to be able to start with delays getting winter clothing rentals.
The husky safari was really fun and intimate, we got to pet them afterwards, and get warmed up by a fire, and we didn't fall off the sleds once! I think booking safaris from family-run businesses like this is the best way to experience them rather than from a resort. 10/10 would recommend and do again!Written 20 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ReindeermanLaplandLapland158 contributionsA unique way to cross the Arctic Circle Line, national border and time zone border in winter in Juoksenki Village in Pello! You must take the 1 km road which is constructed by local people over the Tornio / Torne River. You can take the road by car, walking or cross-country skiing. This road is connecting in winter the two Arctic Circle villages: Juoksenki in Finnish Lapland and Juoksengi in Swedish Lapland.Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ReindeermanLaplandLapland158 contributionsNice place for cross-country skiing (tens of km of excellant trails) and also for downhill skiing for families and beginners. Prices not too high compared to many resorts. For cross-country skiing you pay nothing...Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ReindeermanLaplandLapland158 contributionsOrhinselkä Beach is one of most beautiful sand beaches of Northern Finland. This sandy beach and dune, located on the border between Pello and Ylitornio municipalities, was chosen in 2007 as Finland’s most beautiful sandy beach.
NOTE: you cannot drive directly to the beach: you must park the car in Kaaranneskoskentie road and then walk around 2-2,5 km by using a trail which might be sometimes rather wet, but which is normally in a good state and well indicated (difficult to get lost. The access to the beach is therefore not very easy but it is definitely worth visiting. That is certainly why the beach is so well preserved. You can easily spend a half day if it is a beautiful summer day. The water in the lake is very clear. NOTE also there are no kiosks or other services in the beach so remember to take your water and snacks in your backpack.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A great varity of landscapes. It is a particularly interesting place for skiers looking for early snow because its trail network is usually covered by a skiable blanket of snow much sooner than the area’s other trails.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ReindeermanLaplandLapland158 contributionsThe Pieskänjupuka Scenic Trail in Pello in Finnish Lapland is approximately 1,6 kilometers long, but it requires a rather good physical fitness as the path ascends a steep slope all the way to the top of the hill. However, the climb is worthwhile because from the summit, you’ll be rewarded with magnificent views of Miekojärvi Lake, which is one of the biggest lakes of Finnish Lapland. The stunning landscape at the top of Pieskänjupukka is often compared to the national scenery of Koli in East of Finland. The trail begins at the shore of Miekojärvi Lake (Pakisjärventie), which is also accessible by car. The parking space is rather limited. Look out for color-coded markers along the trail. It is really worth exploring this beautiful trail and enjoy the breathtaking vistas!Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ReindeermanLaplandLapland158 contributionsThe site is located next to Juoksenki Arctic Circle Village in Pello in Finnish Lapland. Views are great at the top of the hill. The wooden stairs are not in very good shape. The cave as such is not very big.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelVavHelsinki, Finland142 contributionsNaamisuvanto is a wonderful and professional company to go fly fishing with in Lapland. I spent a few days learning to fly fish for the first time and thanks to the amazing guide (Ari) and their overall attention to detail, the experience was everything I expected and more.
Naamisuvanto will provide you with the equipment. All you need to do is show up and enjoy the adventure.
I can highly recommend Naamisuvanto to anyone wishing to spend a few days in Pello/Lapland to catch a variety of fish and enjoy the beautiful scenery all while being exceptionally taken care of without a worry in the world. I am hooked! :)Written 14 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Miekojärvi is called "Arctic Circle" lake. In this lake you can get for example nice zanders or pikes. Most of the people come to Pello and to Tornio River Valley to fish salmon, but if you have time and money you can also try lake fishing in Miekojärvi Lake. Starting of the fishing trip is in Miekojärvi fishing harbor, which is easy to find.Written 20 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
