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.

If you want to enjoy the pure nature next to a river in the middle of nowhere the place is the best option. It is very calm and clean and the staffs are super nice.

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!

Ajaa asiansa jos on vailla yösijaa, henkilökuntaa näyttää olevan rajoitetusti. Joten ideana lienee asiakkaiden omatoimisuus, mikä ei tietenkään ole pelkästään huono asia. Sehän tuo tietynlaista rentoutta meininkiin.

Perfect accommodation
Absolutely fabulous, no joke! The cabin Halla was exactly what we were looking for. You can see the northern lights from your bed. The three cabins are sufficiently far from one another so that you are not disturbed by the neighbors. The cabin itself has everything one needs. Staff was welcoming
