Santa Claus Village has different options to stay - we stay in a suite with sauna, just behind the main centre (behind snowman world). You could walk to main centre with Santa, post office, restaurants, playground, activities, main reception/hub all within 5 minute walk. Rooms are odd - large bathroom, but small living space if there's a family of 4 staying (the sofa changes to a bed and you can just about squeeze past). Beds were comfotable and sauna was great. Maids cleaned and made beds daily. Limited space to store clothes, but hangers near front door for wet coats etc. Lots to do around - snow makes it as can take kids just outside for sledding and playing. Book tours in reception or choose external provider. There's a lot to do for younger children, also 2 santas you can visit - time it so you go at the end of the day, we waited 5 mins, but heard some people wait 2 hours! I would not wait this long to see Father Christmas. Lots of day trippers and tourists, but of a night, it's dead - this is when it's lovely to walk around as an adult, lots of pretty lights and feels very festive. Staff all good, very helpful on whole. Liked the main breakfast area and later it's an ala carte restaurant. It's expensive, but you don't have to leave and you are probably not going to visit again, so enjoy your time!

Staying in this property made our trip magical. It was a pleasure to return from an outdoor activity to a cozy cabin, spacious and equipped with the amenities to feel like home. The only thing we found interesting (and maybe this is a cultural difference) is that daily cleaning included making the bed and changing towels only. We are used to full cleaning. But a minor detail.

The room was nice but very basic, the sofa bed wasn’t very comfortable for the children to sleep on and having the sofa turned into a bed it didn’t leave anywhere else for us to sit comfortably. The food in the restaurant was okay, not worth the prices they were asking but I guess this is expected at a place like this. The reindeer ride wasn’t what we thought it would but the kids love it so that’s the main thing. I would highly recommend visiting Santa’s pets, it seems a bit pricey to get in but you have access all day, so we went back when it started to get dark and enjoyed toasting marshmallows over the fire pits and cooking hotdogs, all of which can be purchased from the kiosk where you enter and surprisingly cheap compared to the rest of the holiday village. Overall the staff were nice, the breakfast was good but I’d recommend eating at the services across the road (better value for money). I would suggest hiring a car as we did, it gave much more freedom and made the excursions much cheaper. But please avoid Green Motion, they have scammed us out of the deposit (check their reviews on Trustpilot, I wish we had). We’d like to go back but early in the year when the snow more likely to have settled 🎅

Rooms were just like the pictures. And they were clean. But from reception to the rooms you have to walk like 200 meters, with children AND bags on icy road, with -5 degrees. So it was really uncomfortable to do it without help. Breakfast was simple, they could include some nice pastry.

Stayed in what I would call an apartment for 5ppl. I thought we were in a private wooden hut but clearly not. Accommodation was grand in fairness. On first arrival didn’t know where to go as the bus dropped us off the wrong side of reception- so maybe a “you are here” sign near bus stop would be beneficial. Breakfast was lovely, good options for adults and kids- and fruit for very fussy eaters like my 3 year old. Lunch/ dinner menu fairly limited but we ate pizza each time on our stay. Restaurants fairly expensive- but I suppose that’s Finland. Overall recommend anyway :) staff all lovely
