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.
Went her over Christmas (it’s called snow princess with Tui) 8 family members in total from 13-87 years and can’t fault hotel really. Food was good hearty food breakfast lots of granola combos traditional English breakfast as well as cereals toast and limited cakes and pastries. Lunch and dinner were decent enough for all 8 of us from curry’s to salad chicken nuggets and chips or fantastic trout and new potatoes. Always a couple of puddings and endless tea and coffee. Drinks are pricy 9 euros a beer but that’s par for the course in Finland. Rooms decent practical we stayed in Duplex rooms with mezzanine floor with extremely steep stairs for kids. Our rooms had a shower and sauna. Beds basic but good enough and plenty of storage. Outside plenty of free sledges and fresh snow to do as you please and regular buses to take you up the road to better sledge runs or skiing if you require. We stayed 4 nights and had an amazing time at this hotel even caught the northern lights. Having said that Tui service and organisation was poor for many reasons. 1. Found out by chance about a trip out to another hotel for dinner as our rep wasn’t texting me to tell us about organises excursions because I hadn’t updated my details on Tui booking adding my mobile number but as I booked via Sant Claus trips I was unaware of this and the rep didint check. In all honesty food was terrible there so we got a taxi back. Upon our return explained this to our rep who informed us that a private function was going on so we couldn’t get any food at our hotel. If we’d of been told this we’d of eaten at a local restaurant as it happens he sorted out a table for us thankfully which other than the very scornful stares from the other attending Tui reps we enjoyed. 2. A very hard sell from airport to hotel for extra excursions almost relentlessly telling us they run out lots more people coming in later that day don’t delay etc etc. we did do the huskies excursions and it was amazing and pricy £150 per person hard sell wasn’t needed. 3. The gala dinner was a bit of a free for all nothing Tui could really do about that but felt a bit haphazardly organises 4. I understand travel restrictions etc change very fast and this is not Tui fault but a bit more help obtaining flow tests etc at the last minute would save a lot of stress for their customers Overall an amazing holiday great meteorites good hotel and a wonderful Christmas

Location is great and not a problem getting to the slopes on a bus which is really frequent. Hotel basic as in other reviews but ok. Staff very lovely. Could definitely do with an interior update mostly in the rooms, stairs and corridors.
Only issues were the food mostly the evening meal which as others have said there is barely any choice and nothing for the kids at all. They must use the same herb/spice in everything as everything tastes the same and isn’t great. As someone else said with a fussy eater all there is are chips which even she got sick of. Also our room only got cleaned once which wasn’t great.
Finland itself is beautiful and we will go again but not to that Hotel probably. The quad rooms have a very steep staircase up to the mezzanine area so be mindful if you have anyone under the age of 7.

First and foremost, this is a positive review and in no way should put you off going as with a few upgrades and choice I’d bring my family back here tomorrow. Please take this as a constructive criticism. We have just arrived home after a four night stay (22nd to 26th Dec 2022) the hotel is a little dated, could do with a complete refurb (imho) as the rooms are very basic but with everything you need (apart from a bath) Lapland is very tiring with all the snow gear on and after a long day my go to is a long hot bath. The stairs to the mezzanine are very steep, not slightly, and if you have children of a certain age who like to still get in with Mum and Dad, these are an accident waiting to happen. Or even if Mum and Dad sleep here instead, if your like me who has a weak bladder, they are a mission to navigate and not wake the kids. Our room was south facing and to have any chance of seeing Northern lights without going out then ask for a North facing room. The food in the hotel was ok. Breakfast (imo) was more catered for continental, there was bacon, mini hot dog sausages and creamy scrambled eggs, me personally, just having that option of requesting any type of egg would be ideal. I’m sure this could be included, especially the prices you pay for Xmas. A couple of fried eggs or poached would t have gone amiss. Like others have said too, the food could be hotter. I also have to point out that parents who let their kids go and help theirselves (I’m all for it) just stay away from the Nutella, the amount of little sneaky fingers having a swoop of the bowl I couldn’t ignore. (Bless ‘em) we’ve all done it lol. The food is ok, I ate well, I just expected more from a holiday that cost a lot of money. Hotel prices I thought were very expensive, 5 euros for a qtr of a cup of hot chocolate with squirts cream and 2 marshmallows. All drinks, snacks and souvenir’s are expensive. Finally, I need to repeat. It’s a great hotel, it could be much better with a few quid spent on it as us customers pay a lot, and I mean a lot to stay here. Please reinvest in the hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We will return…..look out for an update should the changes happen. Good luck Snow Princess and thanks

A very authentic alpine hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were basic in decor due to the snow sticking to boots, I presume, but very warm and cozy especially in contrast to the temperatures outside in December. The dining room served a wide selection of dishes, buffet style, three times a day. All food was very fresh and there was a kettle on constant boil and T bags etc to make hot drinks. I would recommend this hotel for family holidays

Stayed as part of TUI trip for 4 nights. Family room has very steep wooden stairs to upper level. There is a gate at the top but I was still wary when my 9 & 5 year old were going up/down. Bathroom is a wet room so floor can become dangerous. Sauna only fits 2 in. No english speaking TV channels but we could put a memorey stick for films. Food was good, basic but suitable for everyone. Water/tea/coffee avaiable at every meal. Helpful friendly staff. Small gift shop that was quiet cheap compared to the price of drinks (which are very expensive). Big area outside for plAying in the snow. Short walk to the village centre/supermarket. My only critiscm is the lack of room service.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were friendly and helpful and outside the front you can use the sledges and you may see reindeer wandering around.
The restaurant was spacious and we didn’t have to queue for food or struggle to get a table. The food was varied and as long as you have a varied pallet, you will find something different every day.
I had reindeer and cheese soup, chicken keiv, chicken breast, sole and flounder, lovely potato wedges. There was ham and cheeses for breakfast and also tried some pickled trout which was lovely. A fabulous choice of breads I really liked the raisin bread. Our 6yr old found something to eat everyday too. It’s a shame it wasn’t all a bit hotter though.
The rooms, as they say are simple, I think they could improve them by putting decent duvets on and less lumpy pillows, but the room provides everything that you need in a very basic way. Rooms are very clean, warm, small and practical.
All inclusive worked really well as we are a family of five and everyone could get what they wanted.
There is a short walk into Akaslompolo which takes you to a small shopping mall with a few nice shops and some bars and restaurants.
The kids had plenty to do through TUi we made Christmas crackers, had story time with Captain T and built a snowman. Kiitos hyvaa joulua hotel snow princess!

Our second trip to Yllaskaltio and another wonderful stay! The accommodation is clean, simple, warm and very comfortable. The staff very friendly, and a tasteful redecoration of the restaurant undertaken since last year. I have noted with interest the ‘lack of choice’ of food for children. However this strikes me as very strange! If you want to give children a nutritionally poor and bland diet that is likely ultra processed, which leads to increased health risks (obesity, type 2 diabetes and all types cancer to mention but a few) then it may seem limited as no ultra processed pizza, burgers, Mac n cheese etc is present. However the choice of food is very varied, well presented in a buffet style, and hugely tasty. As kids can eat the same as adults - unsurprising to some - then the above criticism of ‘lack of choice’ simply does not add up. There is entertainment for kids and adults (pool, darts, arcade games) and a relaxing bar area to enjoy a drink with a lovely little gift shop attached. The location is probably one of the most beautiful places in earth, and many activities to do (skidooing, dog sledding and reindeer rides are a must, as is snow shooing). Fell skiing is great and, given the location, always guaranteed. Runs can be a little short & not as plentiful if you are used to the Alps per se, but there is still plenty to challenge people of all abilities, and the views more than make up for this. The Finnish people are lovely and welcoming. Cross country skiing fantastic as is hiking in the forests. I cannot wait to come back!

Nice hotel. Fantastic to have a sauna in the room - that was fun. Plenty of sledges too which was a nice bonus. But our heating didn’t work the whole time we were there, we approached reception twice and was given a plug in heater. Also the buffet was below average. Hardly any choice. Perhaps 3 main meal options. Was very hard to feed the kids anything apart from bread and chips. Bar prices also varied a lot even when we were ordering the same drinks

I'd heard such a mixer of reviews about this hotel which made me worried about what I'd arrive to. But it's such a lovely, cosy hotel. It has a small gift shop with souvenirs. The restaurant is large with a large a good selection of food even for fussy eaters. The staff were really helpful and there was a kids club in the evening which my daughter loved. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from restaurants, supermarket and shops and just behind the shops is the frozen lake. The only downside is the stairs in the family rooms, they are very steep and did worry me but as long as the kids are careful it's fine. We are returning to the same hotel again this year because we loved it so much and we can't wait.

Have just returned from a 4 night trip with TUI. The TUI reps were brilliant and the excursions were great. The hotel is in a good location a small walk to the supermarket and frozen lake. Our room was very dated with dirty furniture & stains on the chairs, food stains all up the wall and even on the ceiling. No towels when we checked in and the radiator wasn’t working, the room also hadn’t been cleaned properly as an entire shelf was covered in loose crisps. The shelf in the bathroom was hanging off and the rooms are not serviced the entire stay so the bins overflow and towels are not changed. Very small choice of food nothing really for kids only bread and chips. Hallways are also not cleaned. Would say this is more of a 2 star hotel for English standards.

Hi.
The resort is split into 2 separate ski areas, the Northern side of the mountain (Äkäslompolo) and the Southern side (Ylläsjärvi). From Hotelli Yllaskaltio, you will be around a 15 min bus ride from the Äkäslompolo Ski area and about 30 mins from the Ylläsjärvi Ski area. There are buses around every hour from outside the hotel. When we visited prices were 13euro per day but if you buy as part of a ski/left pass work out at about 5euro per day.
There are more places to choose from in the Akaslompolo area.
