The shared kitchen was a lifesaver during my stay.

I encountered major issues with check-in. The lack of guidance and contact options left me feeling helpless, and the discomfort from the cold air coming through the window made my nights uneasy.

9/10

Wicked close to the train and bus stations, which was awesome. Staff totally helped me out with my bags before check-in. My room had this nice balcony I didn’t expect! Perfect for catching some fresh air. The inside is way nicer than the outside looks. Seriously, I liked this place.

the lack of a lift at this so-called guesthouse was infuriating. dragging my suitcase up that tiny hill was not what i signed up for. i also couldn't believe the hot water was gone within minutes! after all my sacrifices for this trip, i might have expected a complimentary upgrade. too bad, really.

The Guesthouse Borealis offers a family-run atmosphere and exceptional cleanliness, which I appreciated. The location is superb, with free on-site parking, making exploring Rovaniemi super easy. Breakfast was satisfying, though I missed an option for a double bed. Still, I'd certainly recommend staying here.

I loved the cozy room, but check-in was tricky after hours.

All good, meets expectations. Convenient access to a shared kitchen for guest use.

This place suits me perfectly! It offers free wi-fi, a shared kitchen, and no smoking on site. I remember when the staff helped me with returning important documents I left behind. I highly recommend it for a comfortable stay.

The Twin Room was cozy and had a comfortable bed, which was long enough for a good night's sleep. The bathroom was super clean and warm with great water pressure. Wi-Fi was solid too. The downside was space. it was just enough for a suitcase in the corner. Also, the check-in hours were a bit tricky as they aren’t 24/7, making luggage storage a hassle if you arrive late or leave early. But overall, decent stay!

Comfortable stay with beautiful breakfast

I had a fantastic experience here, largely thanks to the lovely breakfast spread each morning that included fresh bread, meats, and even chocolate biscuits! The location was great, just a nice walk away from downtown, and I felt very safe even when returning solo at night. One thing I wished for was a warmer room. my son's room had a space heater, but mine did not, which was a bit chilly at times.

Had a wonderful experience, especially walking to the town—perfect for the kids. The breakfast spread was just right, with fruits and good coffee. The kids loved our visit to Santa Village! It was a real highlight of our trip with my girlfriend.

In my wife’s opinion, check-in hours were tricky for families.

guesthouse borealis is a gem! it's just up the hill from the train station, making it super easy to find. the room was cozy enough for one person, with a comfy bed and a clean bathroom. i also loved the strong wifi, which was a lifesaver for my online plans.

do recommend

Location was perfect. just minutes from the train station. The self-cooking kitchen was a lifesaver during my stay, especially with the extreme temperatures. Plus, my clean and warm room made it so cozy. I particularly appreciated having a bathroom that was up to par, no cold showers here!

Couple looking for comfort

I had a comfortable bed that made me feel at home after a long day of exploring. The bathroom was impressively clean and warm with great water pressure, which is not something you take for granted.

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but still acceptable for what you get.
