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.

We stayed for 2 nights and felt it was just perfect. Minna and Aarno were incredible hosts. The location is amazing, located in the woods, absolute silence at night. The house with the guest rooms is simple but new and modern (all wood, spotless clean etc.). The food was very good, one evening dinner was served in their Kota with an open fire place. It felt all very warm, comfortable and personal. That‘s what made this so outstanding.

Around December my family and I (I’m 12yo) stayed at Arctic Sky. I can safely say that they lead the most amazing holiday I have ever experienced. The accommodation was cozy, clean, warm and had fulfilled all my necessities.

The food was a dive into Finnish culture. The breakfast consisted of many options that were delicious. For lunch we were filled with Finnish delights, with everything pleasing my mouth. For dinner it was equally outstanding. All the meals were scrumptious during our entire stay. Sometimes we got to eat in glamorous places, outdoors with astonishing views or in a Kota or a Lavuu with a bonfire keeping us warm and cooking our food.

Apart from the food and accommodation, we visited landscapes and completed activities I had never dreamt of and we couldn’t be more amazed. My favorite one was the traditional Finnish sauna where you would have to heat up then jump into a freezing river or snow. We were extremely lucky as Arctic Sky rushed to us to alarm that the Aurora was in the sky. It was beautiful to see the green light hovering and glowing in the sky. Overall I never got bored as they recommended the very best activities (snowshoeing, CX ski…), even having some at Arctic Sky such as feeding reindeers.

Thank you so much Arctic Sky for arranging the best holiday I could ever experience. We would for sure come back!

Emilie,
Aga and Nico.

We spent unforgettable days in Arctic Sky Lapland (the one and only...!). Magical experiences will stay with us for the rest of our lives. With much humility and gratitude we look back on incredible days in Finnish Lapland with all the hospitality of Minna and Aarno.

Arctic Sky AMAZING! Too many things to mention here. We happened to be on the outbound flight with the owner of Arctic Sky. We had lots of troubles with our overseas flight. Minna made calls, talked to attendants and helped us during flight.❤️

5 days perfectly balanced peaceful being and active doings. Lot's of beautiful nature in forest bathing and hikes. If you like real food made out of pure ingredients you will love Minna's food.
It is amazing how Minna knows all the plants and animals. I loved everything there and I don't even like joga

They gave the best everything. The service is incredible. The facilities are rustic and modern at the same time, and super clean. The food is amazing. I definitely recommend this place. I’ve visited twice, during the winter and the summer. I saw the northern lights and went backpacking with them.

Our room was nice and there is good sauna for guests. Arctic Sky Lapland is located in the middle of nature and full silence. Just perfect! Cross country track is just behind the corner so good place to enjoy outdoor activities like cross country skiing, snowshoeing etc.

I met also the owners, a nice, helpful couple. I arrived by car but Minna (the owner) told there is a bus stop near so it is easy to reach by bus from airport too. I think, one day I will stay at Arctic Sky again.

Our family (2 adults 2 children) visited the Arctic Sky Resort and the Saariselkä area for the first time over Christmas. We had ordered the owners to pick us up from Ivalo airport. We learned later that the airport is easily accessed with public transport too as the bus stop is just 200 metres away from the resort. For those who come with a car, there is parking place in front of the resort.
We used the bus to reach Saariselkä area, where a lot of restaurants, shops and Saariselkä ski/winterpark are located. There is also a nice Angry birds inside activity park for children and beside it a spa.

The Arctic Sky Resort itself lies among the calm nature outside the busy centre of Saariselkä. We had two bedrooms with shared facilities, which served us well. The resort was very recently built, it was clean and warm inside. The tasty meals were served in the main building three times a day, and our special needs considering the food were well met.

The owner couple was sympathetic and helpful. They guided us to meet reindeers and had a wonderful reindeer sledge ride, went to the longest toboggan of Finland, learned cross-country skiing, had lunch by the bonfire at lean-to, tried smoke sauna and swam in a icecold river! and went to Aurora hunting trip with a snowmobile (we were lucky and saw the auroras too!). Moreover these outdoor activities, we attended to yinyoga classes held at the Arctic Sky Resort’s studio. So we had quite many adventures in the winter wonderland! It would be lovely to return here in summertime.
Warmly recommended!
