A great place to stay if you want to see Aurora! It’s so far from any city so you get the full dark sky here, even the weakest aurora would be so vivid in this place. They have a WhatsApp group so everyone on site can share information if they see aurora. The place has a restaurant and the foods are amazing with a reasonable price! Plenty of activities you can do on site as well. Recommend to stay minimum 3/4 nights. My first 2 nights were cloudy but 3rd night was one of the best auroras in my trip.

Not what is mentionned on hôtel.com

Je déplore toutefois qu’on nous ait vendu une chambre comme une cabine (la photo est celle d’une cabine avec vue sur lac mais on a eu qu’un apart avec aucune vue sur l’eau qui d’ailleurs est un étang et non un lac) et de plus ma recherche était pour Inari, l’affichage dit qu’elle se trouve à Inari, alors qu’elle est à 45 minutes d’Inari et qu’on a donc dû revenir sur nos pas. On nous a dit que c’était hôtel.com qui faisait sa vente ainsi et non eux. Malgré une belle chambre et une belle accueil, c’ st un peu décevant.

We stayed at Giellajohka for 6 days and wished we had longer. It was magic. The river cabins are cozy, warm and have a substantial kitchen. We enjoyed the in cabin sauna and the beautiful floor to ceiling window meant we enjoyed the aurora from our bed while having a cup of tea early in the morning. The property is run by Anita and her son Jouni and they are actively involved passionate hosts. We loved them and all the staff. The activities were well run, relaxed, intimate and so much fun. No mass tourism to be found. There are beautiful walk, ski and snowshoe tracks from your doorstep and all the gear to borrow. The food was good. We loved reindeer soup and the breakfasts, especially the pancakes with jam. Yum! Don’t hesitate booking it would be impossible to regret a stay here.

Wonderful stay

The people were really friendly and they made us feel right at home. Food was great especially the heavy breakfast, the apartment was clean, and the resident kitties and doggie were really adorable. The only comment we have is that the pillows were a bit small/low and the beds were too soft but this is based on one’s preference. We prefer firmer (and higher) pillows and memory foam beds (again, based on preference). All in all, our stay was lovely and we’ll definitey be back here again!❤️

Great place in the nature

Wonderful place surrounded by beautiful nature. We stayed in the Fisherman’s cottage which was very clean and comfortable with a view on the river - super nice! The restaurant was lovely and the owners, as well as the rest of the staff were friendly and great. We didn’t have breakfast but it looked delicious and plentiful. Would stay here again anytime!
