Pros:

The place is secluded and rather calm.
I also enjoyed the sauna+swimming pool+outdoor tubs. May be a great experience to do that under aurora.
Big windows to see the views outside in case you want to watch out for aurora.
Spacious living room with board games.

Cons:

There's no warning on the booking page regarding the fact that their reception is in Saariselka, 3km away from the actual resort. For people traveling without cars, this means you either have to pay an extra fee to get a taxi, or figure out the buses to get to Saariselka just to get the keys, and then find a way to reach Laanila (I checked matkahuolto, there's no bus from Saariselka to Laanila! Maybe the Skibus could get there, but you have to dig, or get a taxi), which may be very inconvenient especially if you have luggages with you. The Laanila bus stations are also about 10 or more minutes walk from the resort with sands on the path (there are two, the further one is about 1.2km walk away).
The WiFi also doesn't work.
The fridge in the room is very noisy.
The place smells newly renovated, which doesn’t feel very healthy.

Cozy Stay in Beautiful Nature with Amazing Spa
Pros:

A cozy and relaxing stay with a lovely atmosphere. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and the overall experience felt very authentic. The location near a beautiful river and wonderful forest trails made it even more special. The spa was amazing and enjoying the sauna with a view of reindeers was a truly unique experience. The breakfast was great. Everything was comfortable and easy during our stay.

Cons:

Nothing to mention, we had a very pleasant stay😍

Erittäin mukava kokonaisuus tämä majoittumisvaihtiehto
Pros:

Rauhallinen, viihtyisät tilat, saunamaailma todella hieno lisä! Ystävällinen henkilökunta, hyvä sijainti; ladut pihasta. Laadukkaat petivaatteet ja hyvä sänky. Aamupala perushyvä.

Pros:

Struttura immersa nella natura.

Cons:

La stanza non era pulita, soprattutto il bagno. Il divano letto non era preparato ed abbiamo dovuto aprirlo e farlo da soli.

Un petit coin de paradis
Pros:

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet endroit très paisible et très calme. Les chambres sont grandes, et cosy. Les espaces communs sont très agréables. L'espace sauna est vraiment super avec plusieurs grands sauna, piscine intérieure, bain chaud, bain froid, jacuzzi. Le sauna extérieur donne sur l'enclos avec les rennes c'est vraiment magique. Petit déjeuner très complet et de qualité. Nous avons bien apprécié le buffet du soir aussi car tout semblait fait maison y compris les desserts.

Cons:

Tout était propre mais attention à ce que les espaces communs comme salle de bain et toilettes soient bien nettoyées tous les jours ce qui n'est à mon avis pas le cas. Il y avait très peu de monde sur notre période donc ça allait.

Cons:

La mia stanza confinava con la stanza lavanderia che era a disposizione di tutti , non c' erano limitazioni di orari di conseguenza veniva messa in moto a qualsiasi ora .La sera prima fino alle 21 e la mattina seguente alle 06.00 , direi cosa molto fastidiosa . Inoltre la spa aveva orari obbligatori(21.00/23.00) per gli ospiti dell hotel cosa specificata in fase di prenotazione

Beautiful location.
Pros:

Great option if you want to stay a little outside of the main hub - it's quiet and the location is beautiful, but I highly recommend having a car to get around. The room was spacious and it was nice to have access to the kitchen and common area. The bathroom is shared but it was never an issue. The sauna was in a separate building but so nice at the end of a day. The breakfast is served at the main cafe in town - it's plentiful and tasty, just keep in mind that you either need to drive there or arrange the shuttle.

Cons:

Would be be nice to have extra towels for the sauna.

Hint for others. The keys are picked at the counter inside the souvenirs shop, which is inside the shopping center.
Pros:

The most beautiful accommodation we had through our stay in Laplandia. Showers are shared, but rooms has their own toilets. Can only recommend.
