Review of Beana Laponia
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Feb 2023
My friends and I have just returned from a 4 night stay at Beana Laponia and we absolutely loved every minute! The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, the rooms are superb (there were 3 of us so we had the junior suite which has its own sauna) and the food is amazing. The hotel provide all the outdoor gear you need, from boots and socks to snowsuits and mittens - they've thought of everything! There's a cosy bar where you can relax with a coffee or drink, and we booked the outdoor hot tub which was fabulous and included the private use of the sauna and indoor hot tub. Our experience included a dog sledding trip, a visit to a reindeer farm, a snowshoe walk and a snowmobiling trip which were all amazing. It was truly a magical experience and we hope to return one day.

Stayed at Beana Laponia for one night and it was all worth it! Lovely decorated rooms, with aspect of luxury. Warm and cozy lobbybar, excellent breakfast. Staff was more than welcoming and the athmosphere was warm and peaceful.
We highly recommend this place, its worth to visit!

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.

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!

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!

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!
