A luxurious and welcoming Arctic experience at Beana Laponia
Pros:

We absolutely loved our time staying at this hotel, it felt rather luxurious given the very remote location.
All kit was on site for being out in the cold weather and activities were based out of the hotel too, including sledding and snowshoes if you didn't pay for the optional extra activities.

We opted to do the Laponia full 5 hour day of dogsledding and the 3 hours of snowmobiling, both were absolutley excellent. We were lucky enough to be the only couple doing these activities and our guides, Sara and Juuso, were great, ensuring that we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them.
The food onsite was delicious and had many of local dishes (the cloudberry panna cotta was our favourite!).

We'd also like to say a huge thank you to Filippa, who made us feel very welcomed and at home during our stay.
She was also kind enough to knock on our door so we could see the most fantastic aurora borealis display.

Thank you to everyone at Beana Laponia, we very much hope to return in future.

Cons:

Nothing!

Preis-Leistung leider enttäuschend
Pros:

Personal sehr freundlich

Cons:

Service und inkludierte Leistungen passen nicht zum Zimmerpreis. Die Ausstattung ist OK aber nicht dem Preis angemessen.
Sehr einfaches Zimmer für 450€ (altes Gebäude, Zimmer gegenüber der Rezeption mit Blick auf den Eingang) Jedliche Leistung ist mit hohen Zusatzkosten verbunden (auch die Sauna kostet extra, was prinzipiell okay ist aber auch hier bei außergewöhnlichem Preis keine aussergewöhnliche Leistung, der Saunabereich war in Ordnung aber definitiv kein Highlight)
Touren hatten wir keine beim Hotel gebucht, können diese daher nicht beurteilen, da auch diese preislich überzogen waren.
Ich hätte für den Preis mehr erwartet bzw hatte bei gleichem Preis in einer anderen Unterkunft deutlich bessere Leistungen und Service.

Modern konyha, színvonalas szállás
Pros:

Vacsora!! 🙂 a szobák és maga a szállás is modern volt az átlagos finn szállásokhoz képest.

Cons:

A szauna véleményem szerint alap szolgáltatás kellene, hogy legyen, az nem annyira Ok, hogy külön díj ellenében működtetik 1-2 órát.

Modern szálloda fantasztikus konyhával.
Pros:

A vacsora 🙂!!! A szoba is nagyon modern volt más szállásokhoz képest illetve a szálloda méretének köszönhetően kizárt a tömegnyomor.

Cons:

A szauna használata szerintem alap szolgáltatás kellene, hogy legyen, nem pedig díj ellenében működtetjük 1-2 órát!

Pros:

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Beana Laponia.I would say I can’t express enough how wonderful my experience was. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality of all the staff made me feel welcomed and valued. Everyone was so friendly and always greeted me with a smile, which added to the warm atmosphere of the hotel.
The location is absolutely perfect,peaceful and calm, providing a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle. Each morning, I looked forward to the amazing breakfast that offered a delightful variety of options. Dinner was equally impressive, with delicious meals that exceeded my expectations.
A special shout-out to Filippa, whose exceptional service and dedication truly made my stay memorable. Thank you to everyone at for an unforgettable experience! I can’t wait to return
