Detailed Reviews
Me and my wife visited Saariselka from 28th December 2019 for 5 nights , The room allotted was 501. we reached quite late at around 11.30 and as promised the keys were available at panimo bar. Our room was very nice and cosy. The amenities as promised was there, electric kettle, heaters and running hot water. There is no day cleaning during your stay, no change of linen. Breakfast was complimentary. It was ok for a non-veg but repetitive. The items were same for 5 days and so much so that they are placed at the same place. There is bread, curd , corn flakes, porridge, potato fry with sausage etc, cut cucumber , tomatoes , letuce , cold cuts 3 variety and cheese. Orange in fresh fruit and Berry juice and orange juice, cold mmilk , tea and coffee. Breakfat time 7-10- very strict with time.at 10.05 would not get anything. .
Hotel location is very good, k market the departmental store is about 5 min walk most convenient is the bus stop which is just across the hotel. The pub is also nice . Overall a great place to stay for a budget traveller

We picked the Saariselkä Inn for a few reasons: it was one of the cheaper options, it was central to everything we needed and we got discount at Husky & Co for all of our excursions. We were very happy. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated but for the price there’s not much to complain about. We had an issue with the heating and someone came and solved the problem immediately. The sofa bed was quite uncomfortable for our third adult... that would be our main criticism. Katja, who worked on reception, was so friendly and was always genuinely interested in hearing about what we had been up to during the day. Other staff members were also friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.

We stayed at the Saariselka Inn as part of Santa's lapland Magic Break. We arrived Friday and departed on Monday. The village itself is small and very pretty, for a long weekend there are more than enough places to eat out somewhere different each night (we picked bed and breakfast as we like to try different places to eat). The accommodation is spacious warm and clean, it is fairly basic, but we went there with those expectations and happy with our choice (we weren't in the room that often). The bathroom was very clean and had a great shower. The breakfast was buffet with lots of choices. All over the village there are sledges just to be picked up to use and you can walk (15 mins) to one of Europe's longest sleding hills, 1.8kms long lots of fun. We went on the northern light experience, we managed to see the northern lights but it was -30 and our kids (8 and 11 yrs old) didn't handle that cold very well, the reps recognised this and organised a bus for all the kids to head back half way through, I personally wouldn't recommend any younger than teenagers on that trip when it's that cold. The Santa day was excellent, lots of great warming rooms to use, definitely make use of them as it makes the day much more enjoyable.

We only stayed one night in July, and I was happy with the location, buffet breakfast and the friendly staff at breakfast. The interiors are outdated ( from the 1980's ) but tidy enough. The only small negative was a less than friendly welcome at the reception, but I can understand that times are stressful for businesses when the pandemic has affected the customer flow from abroad so massively.
We saw only a couple of other guest so it felt safe with corona in mind. The beautiful and calm reindeers walking around outside were a nice addition and created a lovely athmosphere when looking out the window or taking a walk.
Quality for price was good.
Pub Panimo has a terass otside where we enjoyed a glass of wine and a IPA, inside was karaoke and a pub quiz (every Friday and Wednesday) which was not too loud but relaxed.

We travelled to Santas Saareslka Inn in November 2023, the opening weekend for Santas lapland (who we booked with).
On arrival we were greeted by a very helpful rep. We were shown our rooms. As a family of 4 we had two interconnecting rooms. This meant we had two bathrooms too. The rooms were roomy enough and were very warm. There were drying cupboards to put snow suits and plenty of wardrobe space. There was also a kettle and fridge. Top tip- you only get paper cups so take own cups and spoons. There was plenty of room to put suitcases etc. The bathrooms were basic but has a shower (always hot) sink and toilet.
The block we stayed in was straight across from the resturant area. You could go here for breakfast- lots of choice or to sit in the sofa area.
The pub (where reception area was) was lovely. Very warm, great atmosphere and had board games you could play.
Although I agree with previous reviews about rooms being basic and outdated, they had all we needed, were warm and were in a great location. We really didn't spend much time in the room as wanted to make the most of exploring.

We had the most amazing time here. The hotel is made up of wooden huts with about 20 hotel rooms in each block. They looked simply idyllic in the snow.
The rooms are basic but clean and very warm. Hot and powerful showers and very comfy beds! Breakfast was lovely as was the evening meal at Hotel Tunturi.
We booked with Santa’s Lapland and we can’t fault them at all. Amazing experience for children and Lapland is simply magical! We would love to visit Finland again in the future as it’s a beautiful place and very friendly locals. Enjoy!
Tips-
Take tea bags/ coffee
Don’t overpack as you’ll be wearing snowsuits and boots for 99% of the time

I loved this pub, I wish it was my local! Charming rustic homely pub where the fire is always burning, Great drinks selection, kids welcome, friendly staff - a proper pub. You can either have alcoholic beverages, hot chocalates - why not combine the two? - I did. Try the Gloggi or Gluewien also.
