- ENNO (8/5): - Väga rahulik ja privaatne minu ööbimise ajal. Käisin enamus kordi söömas Hullu Poros Levil Juurdesõidutee peatänavalt Elves Village Hotelli ei kannata mittemingisugust kriitikat :D

- Päivi (10/5): -
- Satu (9/5): - Elämyksellinen kaunis paikka. Siisti huone, hyvå aamuainen. Meille rauhallinen sijainti sooi, koska ei ollut tarvetta pååstä Levin keskustaan ja oli.oma auto.
- Tuija (9/5): Lämminhenkinen, kokemuksen arvoinen, jouluinen kokonaisuus. - Monipuolinen lomapaikka - koko Tonttula kokemuksen arvoinen. Kaunis miljöö ja sisätilat. Neljän huoneen yhteinen olohuone-keittiö sekä sauna oikein toimiva kokonaisuus. Ravintolan takkatuli jouluisine koristeineen toi aamupalalle tunnelmaa. Ladulle pääsi suoraan pihasta. Joen rannan saunan avantoa jäin kaipaamaan, vaan sen esti tällä kertaa aikainen kevät.
- Zbigniew (10/5): - It was my second time in this charming place. After the first one with friends, I decided to bring my family there. If you want to visit absolutely special place, full of X-mas atmosphere, surprising attractions in near forest, enjoy icy river dip (it was March) after hot sauna - this is the place. If you like to spend a couple of relaxing days in most cozy hotel, sit by the fire reading books or chatting with friends - this is the place! Usually I am not that enthusiastic but I simply love this place. By the way, they have northern lights there, too :)

- Jenni (8/5): Lämminhenkinen majoitus omassa rauhassa. - Kiva, lämminhenkinen majoitus 8,5 km päässä Levin keskustasta. Parasta oma rauha, hiihtolatu lähti heti pihasta. Kiva, että aamiainen kuului hintaan. Olisi kiva lisä, kun rantasauna kuuluisi hotellihuoneen hintaan. Saunaa jäin kaipaamaan. Harmi, että avanto oli ehditty sulkea jo, eli sinne en päässyt.
- Hilla (10/5): Huone oli todella hieno ja miljöö todella tunnelmallinen. Aamupala todella hyvä. Tulemme ehdottomasti uudelleen - Majoituksessa ihana tunnelma.
- Juho (9/5): Nice, quiet and cozy place. - Hotel had a feeling of traditional Finnish cottage mixed with farmhouse vibes. Our room was cozy and clean. Breakfast was good and had enough variety to choose from.
- Sonja (9/5): -
- Steffen (7/5): - Die Lage mitten im Elven Dorf und das Ambiente ist sehr schön.
Das Frühstück und Abendessen ist sehr gut und war bei uns im Preis inbegriffen.
Polarlichter konnte man direkt vor der Haustür beobachten. Auch in die Loipe kann man direkt einsteigen. Kleine Küche mit Kühlschrank ist vorhanden, in der man einen Kaffee der Tee zubereiten kann. Unser Zimmer 7 war höchstens 16qm groß und nicht 26qm wie angegeben. Es war kein Schrank oder andere Möbel für die Sachen (Wintersachen!) vorhanden. Das Bad ist ebenfalls winzig und " schwimmt" nach jedem Duschgang. Das neu gebaute Weihnachtsmann Visitcenter ist unnötig, reiner Kommerz...
Wir waren 2023 schon hier, da war alles gemütlicher.
- MICHAEL (10/5): Féerique, Magique et Apaisant. - L’endroit est tout simplement féerique et magique. C’est un peu à l’écart de la ville ce qui est pas plus mal. C’est grand , calme apaisant . Le personnel est très gentil professionnel et serviable. Le lieu est totalement improbable et juste génial . Le chalet du restaurant est superbe avec sa cheminée et sa déco.

- Yaoyang (10/5): Memorable. 3 nights of Aurora - Very quiet and comfortable Too many dolls and figure. Felt abit spooky.
- Anzhelika (5/5): Buen desayuno, en el pueblo de elfos. No tiene recepcion, tienes que hacer el check temprano - Estaba dentro de Elves Village y el entorno muy bonito, el desayuno muy rico y mucha variedad en el restaurante Tuvimos dificultad en encontrarlo, cuando llegamos estaba todo cerrado y de milagro nos hemos alojado, gracias a una señora que nos ha ayudado que pasaba por alli. El hotel es un edificio que compartes muchas zonas comunes con otros. Nosotros tuvimos de vecinos a unos que se quedaron dormidos en el salón borrachos con latas de cerveza tirados por el suelo... y tampoco tiene recepción, el check in lo haces en el restaurante o en la recepcion del parque (antes de las 15h)
- Patricia (10/5): - Todo genial Todo estaba perfecto
- MAI (10/5): -
- Rafaela (10/5): Ambiente de muitos atrativos natalinos - Elves Village é um lugar lindo e cheio de atividades, porém não tivemos muito tempo para explorar tudo. Nosso quarto era pequeno mas atendia bem duas pessoas, com ambiente limpo e cama confortável.
Fomos muito bem recebidas pela equipe e o café da manhã possui bastante variedades.
- Nasreddine (10/5): - Juste féerique et magnifique.. les chambres se trouvent dans un grand chalet super bien décoré avec non pas un mais deux pianos. Très facile d'accès, un sauna et une cuisine très bien équipée. Nous en avions pas besoin parce que l'établissement est en demi pension systématiquement jusqu'au 31 mars... Bref génial le sejour.

- shen (8/5): -
- Heinrich (8/5): Ein Tag Weihnacht ist gut - Wenn man Weihnachtstimmung sucht, vor allem für Familien mit Kindern, ist dieses Angebot sehr gut. Wein schlecht beschildert wandert man im „Dorf“ oft unnütz gern.
- fanny (7/5): Exigue -
- Giovanni (9/5): Soggiorno magico in periodo natalizio - Atmosfera natalizia in un bosco incantato
Pulizia
ambiente accogliente
Personale gentilissimo
- Manuli (10/5): Enjoyed every bit of it! - Everything! Wish we had more time there

- luke (1/5): - Nothing Honestly One of the Creepiest Hotel Experiences of Our Lives.
I honestly cannot believe this place is advertised as a hotel. Our experience at Elves Village in Lapland was so shockingly bad that we left faster than we arrived.
First insult: after 6 PM you can’t check in at the actual hotel. No you have to drive 15 minutes to another hotel just to pick up a key. Completely ridiculous and incredibly inconvenient.
But then came the real problem.
When we opened the hotel door, we walked straight into absolute darkness. I’m not talking about “romantic dim lighting.” I mean pitch black, can’t-see-your-own-hand dark. The kind of darkness that makes you question if you’ve just broken into an abandoned property.
We had to use our phone torches just to figure out what the building even was. Only then did we realize:
the black void we stepped into was the lobby,
the shadowy corridor was the hallway,
and the huge dark room hiding a piano was apparently the dining room.
Nothing looked welcoming. It all looked deserted, eerie, and honestly straight-up creepy. The whole atmosphere hit us like a warning sign.
We tried to go back a second time just to return the key ,and even that was too much. It was still pitch dark, still unsettling, still giving horror-movie energy. We didn’t dare walk deeper inside. We dropped the key on the nearest table and walked out immediately. That’s how uncomfortable this place was.
We ended up booking another hotel in a panic, late at night, in the freezing cold, because staying there wasn’t even an option. Not for a single minute.
This wasn’t a “bad stay.” This was a get-out-now experience.
Unless they fix the lighting, improve the atmosphere, and make the place actually feel alive and safe, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
- Jessica (9/5): gerne wieder:) - Das areal, mehr Weihnachten geht nicht:) Das Zimmer zu finden war nicht ganz leicht am anfang
- Amanda (10/5): Nydelig opphold! - Nydelig hus, veldig koselig sted. Vil absolutt tilbake!
- Lukas (8/5): - nice surrounding for little walks
Opportunity to use the free shuttle bus to levi
enough space in the house
- uncomfortable beds and chairs
- beside the shuttle bus you need a car or taxi
- some rooms are difficult to darken
- Rhona (10/5): - Beautifully decorated warm, spacious, cosy cabin with sauna, 10 mins from Levi. In the grounds of Elves Hideaway. Only downside was checkin. We arrived late and were given the passcode to open the keybox but absolutely no directions to find the cabin which was not at all easy in the dark. Everything else great, saw the northern lights from our front door :)
- Markus (2/5): Elves House leider unbrauchbar - Wir waren im tontun Tupa (elves house) untergebracht. Leider entsprach dies in keinster Weise unseren Erwartungen. Aber von vorne:
Checkin ab 16:00 möglich, aber der Check In schliesst um 16:00 ? Ahja, macht natürlich Sinn. Nach einer kurzen Diskussion das dies keinen Sinn macht, wurde uns das Zimmer um 15:30 gegeben. Aussage, es müsse noch gereinigt werden, da vorher die Angestellten drin lebten.
Von aussen ein wunderschönes kleines Häusschen, leider von Innen sehr dreckig.
Küche, musste komplett von uns gereinigt werden, kühlschrank noch verdreckt, Teller / Gläser dreckig.
Wir bekamen ab dem ersten Tag Schnupfen, Husten, Kopfschmerzen. Am 2ten Tag Abends bemerkten wir das es an der Unterkunft liegt und keine Erkältung vorlag. Leider hat uns die "Rezeption" vom Tontulla Elves Village nicht verstanden und wir haben eine Beschwerde über Hotels.com initiiert. Am nächsten Morgen haben wir dann parallel dazu die Rezeption von der Muttergesellschaft Hulu Poro erreicht und uns wurde ohne weiteres eine Unterkunft im Hotel Hulu Poro in Levi gegeben. Vielen Dank hierfür!
Die Umgebung vom Elves Villiage ist ein Traum! Super schön angelegt und das Elfendorf ist echt für die Kinder fantastisch, aber in diesem Elfen Haus sollte man Grundlegend über a) Hygiene und b) Renovierung nachdenken. Das gelbe Material (Gelbwolle oder was auch immer) wird vermutlich für die allergische Reaktion verwantwortlich gewesen sein.
Im neuen Hotel sofort keinerlei Probleme mehr
Vielen Dank an Hotels.com
- Verified traveler (10/5): Parfait - Magnifique hotels en écart de la ville, dans une sorte de parc à thème. Les chambre très joli. Le personnel très accueillant et gentil
- Karlee (8/5): I definitely recommend this place, BUT..... - This property is beautiful! I went for Christmas and it was so much fun:) however....if you are checking in later in the evening, DO NOT just show up! I got in around midnight & there was no one to be found. Luckily my cab driver was very kind & stuck around for over an hour trying to help. Eventually we found the (non English speaking) maintenance man to let us inside the building, where I almost ended up sleeping on the lobby couch! Found out Our room had been given away since we showed up super late. Eventually we got in touch with the owner & they found a spot for us to sleep. ... it definitely added a bit of frustration to the day, since we had been up traveling over 24hours and the airline had lost out bags! ... aside from this miscommunication, it really was a great place to stay. And also, they have delicious gourmet doughnuts 😋 (which they gave to us for free as an apology for the mishap). I definitely recommend this place! But if you are showing up after 4pm, reach out to them beforehand with a plan in place so you do not end up like me, stranded with no luggage outside the building at 1am.
