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.

Authentic and boutique-style

What an amazing little place. Everything is perfect with so much attention to detail. We stayed three nights and loved the authentic feel with the freedom to roam around the property and easily find our own adventure (sledding down a hill in the forest, walking across the frozen lake to the nearby village) but also had an extensive choice of activities on offer, too. We loved the husky ride and the snowmobiles (we stopped to see the reindeer in the forest). Also did the spa/outdoor hot tub. I recommend it all. Room was really nice, food was delicious and the staff were always friendly and helpful.

Snowy Finnish Haven

I stumbled across Beana Laponia’s impressive five stars on trip advisor, got intrigued, and ended up choosing to stay with them based off of their top notch reviews. Their reputation is well deserved. Off the beaten path, you get an authentic Lapland experience that is personalized and without the gaggle of surrounding tourists. Agree with all reviews Laponia day is a MUST. Don’t worry, they supply all the winter gear you need down to the socks (we would know as our airline lost our luggage) and no experience or athletic ability is necessary. The Secret of the Reindeer was our other highlight experience. Irene and her husband are like ambassadors, we walked away feeling so much more connected to Lapland, its history, and its people. Later on our trip, a local guide at Arctic SnowHotel commented on how he thought Secret of the Reindeer was the second best experience you could do while visiting Lapland. It’s that meaningful. You get more than what you pay for here. We will be coming back!…

Lapland Deluxe

If you are looking for a superbe break of everyday crazy life, there is no place better or more relaxing to go. The scenery is stunning, the whole staff is warm and friendly, the hotel is better than you can image. And don't even get me started of the food the chef presents every day. Plain and simple magic! Snow mobile riding, walks in winter wonderland, husky safari... Best holiday ever!

Fantastic!! 5 star all the way!

My friend and I stayed here as part of a tour that we booked - though you can tell this was geared more towards couples, we will had a fantastic time here! It was a very boutique place (limited rooms) which meant that we received a much more personalised service and we definitely felt very welcome throughout our stay. The rooms was great as well - there was a double door, so it reduces the noise from outside, the bed were super comfortable and the bathroom was quite spacious. We had some complimentary drinks and we were given some outdoor clothes and boots which we can use anytime throughout our stay, We also had the opportunity to use the jacuzzi and sauna one night (private booking), and the staff were really great as they interrupted us towards the end to let us know that there was a prediction of Northern lights in a few minutes! So we rushed back to wear our gear and headed out to see the show! :) We did a lot of the activities - dog sledding, snow mobiling, free toboggan and free walking trails. The food was outstanding as well! It was a modern take on the Finnish food and we loved every meal! We stayed at the Glass Igloo after this but we both agreed that our stayed at Beana Laponia was far better! Compliments to both the staff and the chef. Would love to stay here again!…

Luxurious & special

We only spent 1 night at this fabulous lodge but wished it was more. The room was incredible - it was the lowest price room they had but there were still plenty of special touches. It was roomy and the bathroom was spacious - all of the towels and linen were good quality. It contained everything we needed & we had a great sleep! The breakfast was wonderful - plenty of choice & everything was lovely & fresh. The dinner was also quite nice but as it was a set menu my only comment would be that the offer of an alternate meal for us fussy eaters would have been appreciated. We went out in the evening for a husky safari which was incredible. No northern lights but the gorgeous huskies, their amazing enthusiasm, the knowledgeable guide, the exciting ride through the dark snowy wilderness was more than enough. It was pricey but worth it. One thing that was very odd though was that we had to provide a deposit to use the lodges headlamps. Considering that the room, the dinner & the safari were all quite expensive I actually found this a little bit insulting. My only other suggestion if you are visiting would be that if you are anything other than an average size make sure you take your own snow gear as the options available from the lodge are very limited. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to assist when we had an issue with our hire car. Also prior to our stay, all emails and questions were answered promptly.…

Our selection of sizes for winter overalls goes from extra small (150 cm) to 4XL and winter boots from 35 (US 5) to 50 (US 14).

Best Lapland experience

This is a beautiful, family run lodge for adults only. They literally couldn’t have done for us during our stay. They will organise all of your trips for you, many of which can be done directly from site. They are also really flexible if you need to change any of your plans. There’s a cosy lounge area to relax in during the evenings and the onsite kitchen is excellent. The tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable and most importantly know how to look after the sledge dogs properly. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and will definitely be coming back one day.

Fabulous hotel

In Lapland there are an awful lot of tourist traps and gimmick hotels. This is certainly not the case at Beana Laponia. It is an adult only 11 room hotel set in the middle of nowhere! We had a beautiful corner suite with our own sauna. We did snow mobile, reindeer safari but the absolute highlight was the husky safari. We set off in the morning and stopped for a campfire lunch, just amazing. The food was excellent and the staff incredibly friendly. It was just perfect!

Wonderful remote dog sled experience

Wonderful welcoming family run lodge in a remote part of North Lapland. Adults only. Serene forest and river side location. This is primarily a husky breeding and training business and they share the experience with their guests. We went on 60 Kms dog sledding journey, also snow mobile safaris and walking in the snow covered forests. Food was good, rooms were comfortable and very quiet. One warning, it is not cheap, but in our opinion the experience is so special that it is worth it.

A 21st Birthday celebration to remember

If you are looking for the perfect place to spend time this is amazing part of the world this is it. My daughter loves huskies and we found this place via our travel agent, yes I still use one, but what a find. The hotel is just perfect and having huskies on site made it more special. We went out on snowmobiles, were woken up to see the stunning Northern lights, but the husky safari was the highlight, driving a sled with five amazing animals desperate to pull you along is something we as a family will never forget. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to experience real Lapland hospitality. My daughter never goes back to a place or hotel, she believes the world is too big to explore, but she has said this is one of the places that she will break that rule for. Thank you to the team for making this the best 21st my daughter could have hoped for. …
