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.
The Lapland Hotel Ylläskaltio provides functional accommodation with ski routes and sledding tracks starting right outside the door. A ski shuttle is available from the front of the hotel.

A simple but very well equipped, cozy, comfortable, tidy apartment in a beautiful location. The feeling that you are staying at a friend's family's holiday house.
Possibility to leave late - until 2PM (if you clean and arrange the cabin yourself).

Great location. Yllãs is a fantastic base for Lapland activities. The Kota hut was amazing as were the fat bikes and sledges. Squirrels loved to visit the feeder on the veranda.

So great to watch the northern lights without any hassle.
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.
Everything! What a wonderful place.
The glass cabins are clean and comfortable, and it’s such a unique experience - Luxury in the middle of the forest.
The Sauna is amazing! Especially since you can jump into the lake to cool down. After the sauna, going for dinner at
the restaurant (excellent food) will make your
evening perfect.
Finally, the service was awesome 🤩.
Joanna called in advance to coordinate with us, gave us great hiking tips, and was there
to help with everything we needed.
Highly recommended 👌
Villa Ruskamaja is a nicely furnished, well equipped, house , flooded with light, in the middle of the woods (car highly recommended) near Äkäslompolo. We were in two, so the house was really spacious. Although the bathroom is tiny, it met our needs. The floor heating is great, as well as the sauna - next to the room for drying your clothes. We also appreciated the second toilet on the first floor so much, because you need`nt climb down the steep stairs during the night.
We had the most wonderful stay in one of the perfectly equipped and super cozy cabins which are located right in front of the cross-country ski slopes and close to a couple of very nice cafés. A car is useful but not absolutely necessary as close by bus connections are available and the very helpful housekeeper kindly drives you to and from the cabin on arrival and departure day. All in all a true gem and we will most certainly come back next year!
The place had more or less everything one expects from such places (sauna as a standard one expects in Lapland, basic set of kitchen utensils) and was warm. It even had a CD player (in case you brought your own CDs... hmm...). But for the lack of wifi I would come back, but the lack of it is a deal breaker for me; next time I will be extra careful to make sure I book a place with wifi!
The cabin is nicely decorated and well stocked with everything for a holiday stay. While its secluded its a short walk into the village for the shops and restaurants. Got lovely balcony overlooking nature. Bus stop nearby meaning you dont really need a car to get around. Village is small but have lots to offer, everyone were helpful and welcoming. Plenty of activities nearby.
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.
Great location and value for money. Not overpriced like so many places. Big plus for the fireplace and floor heating that is must for this kind of cabin for winter sports. Also great that pets were allowed to visit inside. Kids loved the upstairs where there is surprisingly plenty of room!
10/10 stay. The cabins are beautiful and have everything you need. They’re warm and cosy. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Dinner at the restaurant was exceptional. The saunas, jacuzzi and ice hole are incredible so make sure you do that too. The staff is super nice and helpful.
It was a cozy little cabin with a nice fireplace, wood and everything you need. You can also easily borrow sleds and go to the village (15 mins by foot) and also 10 mins to the lake. It’s a perfect spot to see northern lights! We had a great time in Äkäslompolo and in the cabin.
super authentic interior in typical local style, location is among the best in äkäslompolo given walking distance to market area, lake and slopes. very friendly staff, cute breakfast buffet at a fire place.
TaloYlläs is everything that I am looking for in an accomodation in Lapland. It’s cozy, authentic and hosted by friendly people. It has a sauna, ski waxing facilities and direct access to cx ski tracks.
Great location, clean, comfy, and with Anna taking care of every detail and super kind with us, making feel us at home! Best quality-price place, highly recommended.
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.
