The location was perfect. It was far enough away from the road but not remote. The entire staff was delightful, informative and made us feel at home. The food was top notch - could deserve a Michelin rating!
The Lapland Hotel Ylläskaltio provides functional accommodations with ski routes and sledding tracks starting right outside the door. A ski shuttle is available from the front of the hotel.

So great to watch the northern lights without any hassle. Just above you while you are on bed or few steps from your cabin. Just install the northernlight alert app and go enjoy your stay within the premises , it will sent alerts for the area you’re in and that’s what we did. Realy great experience and so magnificent to see the dancing colorful northern lights . Breathtaking . The location is perfect away from the city however the city center is not too far only around 5-6 kilometers.

This was a lovely place to stay.
This was a lovely place to stay. Bigger than some Lapland places we have stayed in but not too big. Probably around 5/6 restaurants and pubs, a really good supermarket and alko shop.
Only a 5 min bus ride from the north slopes of Yllas ski resort and plenty of outdoor adventure companies providing the standard stuff - snowmobiles, huskies, northern lights etc.

Great amenities including an extensive network of cross country ski trails with a supermarket, a few shops, restaurants and sports shops in the centre and amazing boreal forest all around. Known as The Village Surrounded By Seven Fells (hills), Äkäslompolo is a place where you can ski and ski, easily getting away to more remote places. There are small cabins dotted about in the forest (all well signposted) where you can buy food and hot or cold drinks (or even stay the night at some) and others where there are fire pits and traditional "kota" shelters where you can rest, warm up and cook sausages. Great for adults and kids alike. Some of the groomed trails pass over the hills and above the tree line so there are good views along the way. The trail network caters for walkers, skiers, cyclists and skiers with dogs, all in the same vicinity, but sufficiently separated for safety and enjoyment. There are saunas at almost all the accommodations and lake / river swimming or plunge pools year round. Good public transport links to Kittila airport, Kolari train station and Rovaniemi.

Fantastic skiing atmosphere.
Fantastic skiing atmosphere. Everywhere skiing tracks and no matter of time people on tracks. Ski resort has a lot of off-piste skiing areas.
Temperature in Febrauary can surprise skiiers from south :) Viseversa on mountain temperatures were up to 20 degrees milder that in valley. Landscape is absoultely mindblowingly beautiful. Our week long stay was too short and we defenately will be back for hiking season or longer cross country skiing vacation.

Great little town, supermarket has everything, restaurants are great, but closed in evenings after 6 due to Covid. Eat out in the afternoon's instead. Loads to do, saw spectacular aurora (northern lights) most every night.
Bus from kittila airport is easy.

Really nice place for winter sports!
Really nice place for winter sports! Well kept ski tracks for long distances with small cafes every few kilometers. Not many evening restaurants or other things to do than skiing in the evenings. Perfect for nature lovers, who aren’t too adventurous.
Villa Ruskamaja is a nicely furnished, well equipped, house , flooded with light, in the middle of the woods (car highly recommended) near Äkäslompolo. We were in two, so the house was really spacious. Although the bathroom is tiny, it met our needs. The floor heating is great, as well as the sauna - next to the room for drying your clothes. We also appreciated the second toilet on the first floor so much, because you need`nt climb down the steep stairs during the night.
The landlord was always ready to make the changes if needed (e.g sauna times) and also a text message away if we needed him, responded quickly. The door code makes it easy and comfortable to arrive and leave. There was enough place to park. Walking and skiing tracks nearby. Possible to go shopping on foot. Northren Lights in the sky if you go outside after the great sauna. For us it was second time staying there and we have fallen in love with the house and Lapland.
We had the most wonderful stay in one of the perfectly equipped and super cozy cabins which are located right in front of the cross-country ski slopes and close to a couple of very nice cafés. A car is useful but not absolutely necessary as close by bus connections are available and the very helpful housekeeper kindly drives you to and from the cabin on arrival and departure day. All in all a true gem and we will most certainly come back next year!
The place had more or less everything one expects from such places (sauna as a standard one expects in Lapland, basic set of kitchen utensils) and was warm. It even had a CD player (in case you brought your own CDs... hmm...). But for the lack of wifi I would come back, but the lack of it is a deal breaker for me; next time I will be extra careful to make sure I book a place with wifi!
Great location and value for money. Not overpriced like so many places. Big plus for the fireplace and floor heating that is must for this kind of cabin for winter sports. Also great that pets were allowed to visit inside. Kids loved the upstairs where there is surprisingly plenty of room!
10/10 stay. The cabins are beautiful and have everything you need. They’re warm and cosy. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Dinner at the restaurant was exceptional. The saunas, jacuzzi and ice hole are incredible so make sure you do that too. The staff is super nice and helpful.
It was a cozy little cabin with a nice fireplace, wood and everything you need. You can also easily borrow sleds and go to the village (15 mins by foot) and also 10 mins to the lake. It’s a perfect spot to see northern lights! We had a great time in Äkäslompolo and in the cabin.
The location is beautiful, very peaceful. The cabin is small but nice and clean and the heater works great. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect from everything that’s a great option, they don’t have tv, radio or WiFi in the cabins. Staff is friendly.
Very nice cabin/apartment (one house split into two apartments with own front doors). New and fresh with your own sauna, dishwasher and washing machine. Nice and quiet area among other new houses. Perfect for two people.
It was a bit tricky to find the house, since the numbering is bit strange there, but finally we found it. Clean cottage, with a nice fire place and comfortable bed. Sauna was amazing the surroundings are exceptional.
super authentic interior in typical local style, location is among the best in äkäslompolo given walking distance to market area, lake and slopes. very friendly staff, cute breakfast buffet at a fire place.
TaloYlläs is everything that I am looking for in an accomodation in Lapland. It’s cozy, authentic and hosted by friendly people. It has a sauna, ski waxing facilities and direct access to cx ski tracks.
Location was excellent, just next to Äkäshotelli and skiing tracks. Short walking distance to Äkäslompolo village with restaurants and shopping opportunities. Perfect for two persons.
Great location, clean, comfy, and with Anna taking care of every detail and super kind with us, making feel us at home! Best quality-price place, highly recommended.
the wooden cabin was great and cozy. we had a good time. Beds are comfortable and the Breakfast was really nice and lots of choices also for vegan and vegetarian.
