We were very much looking forward to this trip (a trip of a lifetime).  Although its a couple of hours in a car (South) of the airport at Rovaniemi we wanted to experience the 'authentic' Finland at Christmas.  The transfers organised by the hotel to/from the airport were very good.  Arrival at the resort was at night and the reception staff were ok, not exactly welcoming.  We got the impression that they didnt really want to speak English with us.  Upon arrival, they told us that our itinerary (which we had meticulously planned out with them over several emails in the prior months) had changed and we were given a new schedule.  This was for the activities we had planned for the trip i.e. ice fishing, dog sledding, reindeer rides, northern lights etc).  Our accommodation was one of the lodges near the front entrance of the hotel.  The lodge we had was nice and warm, clean and had 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and lounge.  There was a log burner fireplace but no logs and no ability to light a fire.  Even though this was self catering there were no shops to buy food and supplies from.  There were some gift shop items but really no way of using the self catering facilities.  The meals in the hotel were nice, but overpriced for what they were.   The staff in the restaurant were perfunctory.  The worst part really was the lack of organisation with the activities.  When we turned up the first morning, we were told, rather abruptly, by the reception staff that we were to sit and wait for the guides to tell us what was happening.   When we turned up for the dog sledding we were told that it had been cancelled and we should have been told (?)  We received no emails or texts or even a knock on the door to the lodge.  When we turned up for the reindeer trip we were told that we had missed it and when we said we were working to the times given us our new itinerary they didnt believe us until we produced the paperwork and then they apologised and drove us down to the event in one of their cars.  I did talk to some of the other guests during our stay and my conclusion is that this hotel is better set up for groups (from Spain and France) than for family groups (from England).  The location is lovely but the lack of friendliness to us meant it felt like a very long and disappointing week.
