Fairytale hotel, wonderful to be holed up there in the winter with the snow falling all around. Food was great (amazing breakfast, gorgeous dinners), nice sauna, handy for skiing and other activities (ski bus takes you direct to the slopes in about 15 mins and is pretty regular.)
Rooms spacious, well designed and clean, comfy beds and decent shower.
It’s the staff though that really made the difference. A happy family of people who went out of their way to look after me, a warm welcome at reception and bending over backwards to look after me at dinner…as a solo traveller it means the world.
Offering 5 log cottages by Ylläs Mountain, Tunturioravat is a 5-minute walk from central Äkäslompolo. All cottages have wooden interiors, free Wi-Fi access and a private sauna.

Great house, very spacious, comfortable and warm in winter. It's right in the middle of the forest, in a very quite area. Has everything needed from amenities, amazing sauna and a fireplace! The house was decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch from the host.

So great to watch the northern lights without any hassle. Just above you while you are on bed or few steps from your cabin. Just install the northernlight alert app and go enjoy your stay within the premises , it will sent alerts for the area you’re in and that’s what we did. Realy great experience and so magnificent to see the dancing colorful northern lights . Breathtaking . The location is perfect away from the city however the city center is not too far only around 5-6 kilometers.

This was a lovely place to stay.
This was a lovely place to stay. Bigger than some Lapland places we have stayed in but not too big. Probably around 5/6 restaurants and pubs, a really good supermarket and alko shop.
Only a 5 min bus ride from the north slopes of Yllas ski resort and plenty of outdoor adventure companies providing the standard stuff - snowmobiles, huskies, northern lights etc.

Great amenities including an extensive network of cross country ski trails with a supermarket, a few shops, restaurants and sports shops in the centre and amazing boreal forest all around. Known as The Village Surrounded By Seven Fells (hills), Äkäslompolo is a place where you can ski and ski, easily getting away to more remote places. There are small cabins dotted about in the forest (all well signposted) where you can buy food and hot or cold drinks (or even stay the night at some) and others where there are fire pits and traditional "kota" shelters where you can rest, warm up and cook sausages. Great for adults and kids alike. Some of the groomed trails pass over the hills and above the tree line so there are good views along the way. The trail network caters for walkers, skiers, cyclists and skiers with dogs, all in the same vicinity, but sufficiently separated for safety and enjoyment. There are saunas at almost all the accommodations and lake / river swimming or plunge pools year round. Good public transport links to Kittila airport, Kolari train station and Rovaniemi.

Fantastic skiing atmosphere.
Fantastic skiing atmosphere. Everywhere skiing tracks and no matter of time people on tracks. Ski resort has a lot of off-piste skiing areas.
Temperature in Febrauary can surprise skiiers from south :) Viseversa on mountain temperatures were up to 20 degrees milder that in valley. Landscape is absoultely mindblowingly beautiful. Our week long stay was too short and we defenately will be back for hiking season or longer cross country skiing vacation.

Great little town, supermarket has everything, restaurants are great, but closed in evenings after 6 due to Covid. Eat out in the afternoon's instead. Loads to do, saw spectacular aurora (northern lights) most every night.
Bus from kittila airport is easy.

Really nice place for winter sports!
Really nice place for winter sports! Well kept ski tracks for long distances with small cafes every few kilometers. Not many evening restaurants or other things to do than skiing in the evenings. Perfect for nature lovers, who aren’t too adventurous.
Fabulous large modern cabin in a fantastic location, feels like you're in the middle of nowhere but a nice walk to restaurants, shops and the supermarket. Close to Yllas swing and ice swimming and Akaslompolo lake. Couldn't ask for more. Has a beautiful log fired sauna and a kota shared by the cabins. Saw the northern lights from our bedroom window 3 night in a row.
Drying cabinet and as many logs as you need in the shared shed.
the lodge was brand new and very comfortable. the houses are very good located, close to the lake, but still in an oasis of silence between the trees. it felt like staying in the woods. Every home is very well equipped and has it own private wooden sauna. it was everything we had in mind when we came to Lapland.
The decoration in the upstairs common room was very inviting and created a cozy vibe. The young woman welcoming us and cooking our breakfast was very friendly and it was nice chatting to her and the other guests in the kitchen. The B&B was a short walk away from several restaurants in the very small town.
Lovely house in great location, sense of privacy even if there are other houses around.
Lovely sauna with direct access to the garden for refreshing dip in the snow!
The mezzanine great for kids den.
Wifi was great an added bonus was acces to streaming services and music.
Location was great. Near small centre of Akaslompolo. Nice terrace overlooking woods.
Everything you need is in the appartment. More than enough room in the appartment. Parking in front of the door.
Easy and quick contact with the host. Would stay there again.
Great location, clean property with nice wood burner and good facilities. Fine for two of us but would be small if all the beds were occupied and the people are tall (the attic room has a low sloping roof). Property is nicer than in the photos on Booking.com!
I loved it here! This apartment has just everything someone could wish. Clean and super cozy and with the Pallas-Yllästunturi nationalpark around the corner it is just a great place for hikers. I hope one day I can come back and stay here again.
Well equipped cottage in a walking distance from the crocecy store, walking trails and nature center Kellokas. Having stayed just before "ruska" it was very well priced. Staff is friendly. It is easy to extend your stay.
It was a bit tricky to find the house, since the numbering is bit strange there, but finally we found it. Clean cottage, with a nice fire place and comfortable bed. Sauna was amazing the surroundings are exceptional.
Location was even better than what we thought, very close to Äkäslompolo center but still very peaceful. Loved the view in the room, it was amazing to wake up there. Breakfast was delicious.
Nice cottage-like feeling in the rooms, in-room sauna, amazingly fresh tap water, great breakfast, close to the “Town center” (shopping mall, restaurants) but also to nature trails etc.
the wooden cabin was great and cozy. we had a good time. Beds are comfortable and the Breakfast was really nice and lots of choices also for vegan and vegetarian.
Really cosy and nice. We had a great time. The apartment was extremely well equipped. Our host Martin was so friendly and even borrowed us his Finnish sledges 🙃
An extremely friendly hostel, comfortable beds, nice sauna, and Pekko is very helpful. And hey, I got to attend a small music festival in the common room.
