Perfection in Lapland. There is no faulting this property, the room was superb and offered unspoiled views. The bedding is lush, ensuring a good nights sleep. The bathroom is small but functional and the heated floors are wonderful when you’re stepping out of the shower. The breakfast included was delicious and was a great way to start each morning. All of the standard fare plus a few extra treats each day. Dinners are divine and the cocktails are creative and delicious. The location was very central, only a 10 minute drive to downtown Rovaniemi and less than 5 minutes to the airport and Santa’s Village. Overall, Is it worth the hype? YES!!

Our Hotel has been designed to convey the warmth of a cosy nest as well as the practicality of the finest Finnish design, and it is with dedication that we try to translate this in every nook and cranny of our premises.Warm regards,

Ok, but not up to expectations
Honestly, we were a bit disappointed. For the cost of the hotel (£600+ per night), we were expecting something more impressive - the concept is great, but the execution isn’t quite up to it - the rooms are rather small (esp the bathroom) and in ok not great condition, bed is ok but again no bigger than a standard double and not overly comfortable. The other piece is the need to pay extra for many things - e.g a cot cost €50 per night extra (expensive in a cheap hotel but pretty disappointing an extra here). The main building is rather lovely, cosy and with a good restaurant (dinners and breakfasts were good). Staff a mixed bag - porters and restaurant staff were great, checking group very much less helpful / pleasant.

The reception welcoming staff ( Pollyanna & katarina) were extremely accommodating. They allowed us to spend a couple of hours in the reception prior to our flight and eat our lunch of a charcuterie board. We had purchased cheeses and salami in the town & asked the chef to cut up the cheeses. He not only did that but assembled a beautiful & delicious board! I would love to return to the Artic Tree House one day!!

Beautiful hotel! I stayed in July which is the off season and I think I was the only guest the first night. All the staff are very friendly and greeted me by name. The restaurant has great food, although limited menu and operation hours. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of options, but limited hours. I was surprised they do not provide transportation to the airport and I had to get a cab. Also, if you do not rent a car, getting to town is difficult as the hotel is several kilometers from the city center. Few amenities are available such as no sauna or gym. Despite the lack of transportation, food options, and amenities, it is still a great hotel.

Beautiful rooms
The rooms are beautiful and the bed is so comfortable! I loved staying here. The hotel has snowshoes, snow tubes, and little sleds for guests to use around the property. The only thing that keeps this from getting a top score is that their service could use some improvement, especially given that they label themselves as 5 star and charge such high prices. Make sure to ask for a room that faces the forest and not one of the hotel roads.

Delightful stay.
Booked this hotel cos I loved the aesthetic of the place. Check in was standard though the lady looked real grouchy. The room is as advertised though it was a birthday celebration and I did get flowers from them as well and tried to request for a room not facing the road. No luck. So we couldn’t leave the curtains open. It was snowing that night as well so no aurora. :( because I had stayed in igloos for the last 3 nights. Having hotel like service eg. A car brings you to your room, not having to carry my luggage up the steps. Maybe my expectations are slightly lower. Price paid is high but I Guess you’re paying for being in cool accommodation in the arctic.

This hotel is so lovely and from the moment you arrive the staff make you feel extremely welcome. It’s located about 20mins walk from Santa Claus village but in my opinion the location was perfect. It was exactly like being in a winter wonderland and the rooms are really cosy with an amazing outlook. We dined at the restaurant everyday, which isn’t cheap but was fairly reasonable. Would go again tomorrow.

Beyond disappointed!
I researched extensively and booked this stay 11months in advance and was really looking forward to it. We had two rooms booked, one for my husband and I and one for our two young children and mother-in-law and had requested adjoining rooms (all treehouses are sets of two), when we went to check in they told us they couldn’t accommodate that request and our apartments were at other sides of the resort and a 15min walk on icy roads. Check in time is 4pm - which is stupidly late and already dark! After an hour of trying to sort out something acceptable, they put us in a twin instead of double room and moved the beds to face the window. We ended up with a mess of a room with no bed heads or bedside tables (as they were fixed to the wall). At dinner they forgot my dessert, even though I followed it up and then charged us twice for it. Breakfast only started at 7.30 and we needed to leave at 7.50 and it took them almost that long to make my coffee (after a follow up as well). The view from our rooms was of a road with people walking past looking in. The room was tiny and if you were a large person I don’t think you could sit on the toilet or fit in the shower. I had to put my sponge bag on the bathroom floor as there is no bench space. Most other hotels in Finland have a sauna, but not this one. It was very basic in facilities and service quality. We stayed in a beautiful hotel down the road that cost a 5th of the price. This was a massive waste of money!!!
Mess of a room.

Good Day Thank you for the feedback and for pointing out the aspect of your stay that you found upleasant. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and for the discomfort that you experienced. I assure you that these point are taken very seriously and have been brought to the attention of the management team. If you can send me your name and booking confirmation number we will be able to investigate the original booking info, sent 11 month in advance. I would be able to check why the rooms where not allocated next to each other or why we did not have the information about the amount of family members or the bed status. Normally we allocate the rooms as per the exact booking received via Expedia and unless specific booking request have been made, we provide our standard service for 2 guests. Our Arctic TreeHouse Double Suites are designed to provide a cozy cabin for a couple. The room also features a nest like bed (cupboard) that is suitable for 1 child. Our Double suites can only accommodate a maximum of 3 guests and we do not provide extra bed in the rooms, as the space was not designed for this. We do make a point to place the size of the rooms and a list of our facilities and amenities on the booking site, so that guest are aware of exactly what they are booking. We do this in order for guests to have the correct expectations on arrival. Our check in and check out time is also published on the booking site in order for guests to plan their itinerary. During the holiday season we require maximum time in order turn around a full hotel for the new guests due to the unique design and layout of our cabins on the landscape. Please note that unfortunately it is close to impossible for us to allocate rooms or change rooms of guests on arrival at reception. January is our high season and our hotel is usually operating at maximum capacity. All our rooms are located within walking distance and for guests that do not want to walk we offer a 24 hour valet service. We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our hotel facilities. Please note that two of our room categories does feature saunas but on this occasion you did not book rooms with the sauna feature. Our Glasshouses and Executive Suites are perfect for accommodate larger families and both of these features a sauna, large family size bathrooms facilities and spacious lounging area. We hope that you will consider to come back again in the future to give us a chance to provide you with a new experience. We will be happy to assist you with booking the perfect room for you and your family.
