    You have to make sure to duck down enough! We bumped our heads quite a few times going in and out of the yurt, we never learnt our lesson!

    Hosts were extremely attentive and friendly, the yurt was really warm and welcoming with almost a homely quality to it! The surrounding area was beyond beautiful and we were able to have so much fun in the snow! Breakfast was wonderful and really hit the spot and the option to buy and cook some sausages over a fire was delightful.

    Lovely staff, friendly atmosphere away from the city. Loved the barbecue every night in the old barn. Super friendly staff who knocked on our door when the auroras could be seen!

    The hosts were very kind and helpful. The yurt was cosy and warm. We had the opportunity to grill in the barn for dinner and have been told when there were auroras at the sky. We would come back.

    Nothing wasn’t positive

    The delight of our Finland visit. The yurt, the location, the communal firepit and barn. The staff. The views. The trek up to the standalone yurt up in the mountain. Just an absolute dream of a place and I’m sure anyone whom visits would agree. I hope to one day return

    Amazing is only one out of few words which can describe our experience in Yurt District. An accomandation which makes you feel one with the nature. The Yurts are warm, nicely decorated and clean. Kati (the owner) is a lovely person, and she is looking after you, dont miss the morning chats with her while she is cleaning the snow to open the roads for you. Peaceful area, close to Rovaniemi and a great spot if you are lucky to see the Aurora Borealis.

    Nothing, just a mention only. Breakfast is a small continental offering but amazing quality and great to eat in your privacy of your own yurt.

    Amazing place, amazing location. Yurt is absolutely gorgeous, lovely decorated and very clean. Great experience with an open roof to look at the sky. Hosts are lovely and very helpful. Facilities are in different building but well maintained and very clean.

    Nothing, everything was perfect

    This day in Yurt District will remain one of the most beautiful days of our lives... We got engaged in this fabulous and timeless place. The help of our host was invaluable, she was thoughtful, attentive and very kind. For this we thank her once again and will do our best to return there one day. This place is incredible, the accommodations, in addition to being beautiful and well-kept, are authentic and surrounded by breathtaking nature. We recommend this place without any hesitation.

    A magical experience with the friendliest staff! Cannot recommend enough!

    To be very nit-picky: - The breakfasts were absolutely lovely but I would have enjoyed if there was some coffee making facilities in the room, such as some instant coffee (the room already contains a kettle and tea bags). We felt guilty having to message the staff on whatsapp asking for coffee very regularly as we are big drinkers! I recommend bringing your own if you're like me :) - I think the accommodation could benefit from the addition of another shower, or at least a standalone toilet (the two available were a shower/toilet combo). One morning I had to wait over 45 mins for people to finish up showering to be able to use the loo. Be mindful of peak hours of use so you don't end up hopping on the spot like I was! - The website advertises that they have a mini-mart to buy some essentials, which they do- but it really is a MINI mart. You can't really buy much there other than bread and sausages to cook on the communal campfire. Bring your own food! - The accommodation is a long way from town. We knew this and planned accordingly but just be mindful it is a 60 euro one-way trip into Rovaniemi or santa's village and you need a taxi to go anywhere from the accommodation. Most of the tours (northern lights etc.) will not pick you up from the Yurt district as it's too far out of town, so plan accordingly. - Wifi can be sketchy. That shouldn't matter to you in such a gorgeous place though, we barely looked at our phones the whole time!

    The yurt was gorgeously warm and homely, decorated perfectly for the region and you could even buy certain items of decoration if you wanted to. It was in a simply magical part of the world and every time we stepped outside we were awed by the area. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, any issue at all taken care of promptly. I cannot overstate this enough- if you have a question or issue, just ask them. We were reliant on wifi only during our travels and so had to message them to ask to book taxis on our behalf (as taxis required a mobile text confirmation). They were more than happy to do this and we were so grateful! The room contained some basic food items and breakfast was provided daily. The team were great at observing our comings and goings and whenever we returned from a walk the room was stocked with breakfast and so we never felt imposed upon. One night the yurt district were lucky enough to see the northern lights directly overhead! This is one of the best places to see the lights so if you're not booking a separate tour you may yet get lucky (I wouldn't necessarily RELY on seeing it at Yurt district but your chances are good) Once the snow was heavy enough a ramp was created and you can toboggan down it just near the yurts (little boards are available). These small touches and thoughtfulness really made it a fantastic trip.

    None

    The location was a distant from the town, we picked that so that there’s minimal light pollution for changes to see northern light. However it was a cloudy week, so we only managed to see later in the week after we left. Even tho it’s -16 out there, the yurt remains warm and cozy! Instant quick communication with the excellent team, great hospitality made everything so perfect, quick check in with a quick intro of the place, setting up fire pits for BBQ at the common use barn, resolving one of the radiators that wasn’t working. I’m really impressed with how responsive the team is and how well they look after their guests! Definitely a must to visit at Rovaniemi, outstanding accommodation with great hospitality
