There was a mistake with our booking, Polar Travels had booked two apartments at Polar Star Apartments instead of the one we booked, Polar Travels took no responsibility and refused to repay the price that had been paid for the other apartment. The quality of the apartments was horrific and in no way in line with the high price that was charged, for example, the Polar Star Apartments are located on the backyard of the super market chain store in Levi. There were foodstains on the walls, the cupboards, big stains on the sofas, wholes in the roof and in the walls. Lots of disgusting hairs and dirt in the beds.

For anyone who is interested in experiencing the beautiful Lapland, we recommend to rent a cottage from other agents or to use the hotel chains, that have normal cancellation terms and that are happy to have repeating customers, and thus interested to give customer service. As Finnish citizens, we hope that no tourists will be ripped off the way we were, we think there are much better alternatives...

But with so much snow fun to be had outside, you don't spend much time inside anyway! The sauna was a nice treat. Comfy beds and enough bedding. Very warm and cosy inside, even when it was -20 out. We would definitely...
