Beautiful accommodation with everything you could need . All trip from the reception which is a 5 minute walk.

Breakfast could have done with a little variety, but really this is a minor quibble. Dinner options are a bit limited and pricey in the restaurant, but if this is a concern some pre-made soups and garlic bread in your own fully equipped kitchen in the cabin is a great fallback.

Breakfast was a nice mix of basics and a few local options. Nothing fancy but plenty of great food to start off a day in a winter wonderland. could have done with a bit of variety, but not really complaining. The rooms (family cabin) was amazing, loved having our own sauna (and diving into the snow afterwards!). They even had a toboggan mound set up a few meters from our door, which provided hours of entertainment. Its great having direct access to the tours (reindeer sleigh rides, husky sled, ice fishing, snowmbiles...).

We were not able to use the tv as the screen mirroring wasn’t working but it wasn’t bad for us as we could just read or use our iPad.

Well equipped and decorated to a high standard. Everything was comfortable

The breakfast is very good, and there is a choice of different type of food. Houses are very cosy and clean, there are two bathrooms. The house is super comfortable for four people. Additional persons would sleep in the attic which has less space and less privacy. In the stairs (upstairs and downstairs) protection gates for children. Kitchen very well equipped. Linen is new and of good quality. Comfortable beds. There is a small pharmacy in the reception :) Guests can visit the polar ZOO every day at the same ticket :)

It would have been useful to have has some more basic kitchen equipment available as it was difficult to prepare meals. A grater and a sieve would have made a huge difference but we managed

There was a very good selection of hot and cold food to choose from, with no restrictions to the amount you ate, the staff were very friendly and helpful in all areas The location of our lodge was brilliant with a lovely woodland view to the back, it was clean and cosy.

The house was amazing. Loads of space full cooking facilities if you didn’t want to eat out. Transport to the supermarket can be organised if you’re not driving. You just pay once for the zoo and as you’re staying onsite you have full access for your entire stay. Fantastic activities onsite

We stayed in a semi-detached house with 2 bedrooms, kitchen with all the utensils required , sauna, lounge with a fireplace. Wonderful location.

We wanted to visit Ranua wildlife park to see Finnish animals and found it very easy to book an overnight stay in Villa Gulo Gulo. This included a free buffet breakfast as well as access to the wildlife park for 2 consecutive days for the price of one. We went on the afternoon on day of arrival and again the next morning, and saw all the animals over the two days. We stayed in Ahma which was perfect for a family of 5, and had excellent facilities, including a nice sauna, wood-fired heater and particularly nice lighting. We also booked an experience via Villa Gulo Gulo and went on an Aurora hunt by snowmobile at night. The warm clothing provided is a must as the temperatures are well below freezing and the wind chill factor is significant. Our Spanish tour guide was friendly and informative and we enjoyed hot Glögi and toasted marshmallows by a fire in the wilderness. Seeing the snow-laden trees at night was a special experience and this tour exceeded our expectations, even though we did not see the Aurora on the tour (due to cloudy weather). We would highly recommend staying at Villa Gulo Gulo with a family.

Bad pillows and no fire starting material in the cabin

We had the most magical time that we will always remember, the food was excellent, staff very helpful and excursions spot on. The accommodation was great and very good value also.

Not much not to like!

The property was huge with space to sleep 6 people, sauna, two bathrooms and a living area. Our back door opened onto the forest which was simply stunning.

Just make sure you take plenty of tea/coffee anything you want to eat or drink. There aren’t any sachets you may get in a hotel or b&b. The supermarket prices are unreal too. We were given 4 toilet rolls between 6 of us for 4 days.

We are a family of 6 and we stayed 30/12-3/1. Beautiful location. Lovely, warm lodge. Plenty of room for 6 of us. A drying room. A sauna. A wood burner. 2 bathrooms. Breakfast was ok. The activities were amazing. The trip was a surprise Christmas present to our children and it surpassed expectations. We went on the guided trip by Finnhorse searching for the Northern lights. We went for Husky rides and reindeer rides. We also went on a tour to Honkivaara where we sled down a huge hill numerous times and our lovely guide made a fire and hot drinks. The zoo is right there too and wonderful. *Worth noting is that you can get the bus (comfortable coach) right there instead of an expensive transfer. It goes from the bus station in Rovaniemi, stops in Rovaniemi centre and pulls into the Holliday Village for a fraction of the price. We booked in advance (and back again) all very easy and smooth. We stayed one night in Rovaniemi and it left from opposite our hotel.

Our cottage was not soundproof at all. Internet quality in the cottage was very poor. We are a bit disappointed by the staff. It's not our first stay, and they were always really perfect. This time nothing a bit extra was not possible. Also we received contradictory answers to the same questions. We hope so much that it happened because of the holidays period, and next time will be better

Excellent location, fantastic views, zoo, comfortable house with sauna and a lot of winter fun!
