-ESP- Si estás pensando en trabajar aquí, te aconsejaría que no lo intentaras, hay sitios mejores, con mejores condiciones y mejor trato. Estuve trabajando allí solo 8 días porque mi abuelo falleció y tuve que volver a España. No me han pagado nada por esos 8 días, tampoco lo harán porque tanto la manager del hotel (Veera) como el propietario (Markos), no me cogen las llamadas ni me responden a los mensajes de Whatsapp. Además de esto, por si la situación fuera poco agradable, el tiempo que estuve allí, solo recibí malas palabras por parte de la manager (Veera), quién se encargaba de cuestionarlo todo para mal, hicieras lo que hicieras. Lo único que salva ese lugar son los compañeros de trabajo. De verdad, si no quieres estar maltratado psicológicamente constantemente y asegurarte de que te paguen, no trabajes aquí. ENG- If you are thinking of working here, I would advise you not to try it, there are better places, with better conditions and better treatment. I was working there for only 8 days because my grandfather died and I had to return to Spain. They have not paid me anything for those 8 days, nor will they because both the hotel manager (Veera) and the owner (Markos) do not take my calls or respond to my WhatsApp messages. In addition to this, in case the situation was not pleasant, the time I was there, I only received bad words from the manager (Veera), who was in charge of questioning everything for the worse, no matter what you did. The only thing that saves that place is the co-workers. Seriously, if you don't want to be constantly psychologically abused and make sure you get paid, don't work here.

We had an amazing time at Tankavaara in December 2023. Firstly the area in winter is absolutely stunning. Secondly the staff were fantastic in the bar area and guides and driver. Shout out to both Kimmos! We chose to stay in the Sompiotalo Deluxe apartment which was a 10 minute (very enjoyable) walk from the reception. It is a great apartment. In terms of activities we did the northern lights snowmobile tour with Tankavaara (Kimmo 2) which was AMAZING. We also did the Lappish Dinner meal in the traditional Kota and indoor winter gold panning with Kimmo 2. The good museum is also surprisingly really good. We booked husky and reindeer safaris ourselves from Tankavaara recommendations. Absolutely fantastic time.

Beautiful hiking trails nearby and best place to stay in Tankavara. Value for the money and comfortable stay. Staff was really helpful and they provide all the hiking trail maps and easy to rent equipments.

The place is lovely, in a reconstructed gold village with a gold museum, in the National park of Tankavaara. The rooms, apart from wooden cottages in the wood, are in two ugly buildings that indeed disagree with the general idea. My room was small and very basic, beds very uncomfortable, kind of soft sofas with a very thin mattress; the bathroom new and comfortable. Breakfast is quite poor. Lunch and dinner are average. The nicest one was the fire dinner in a small hut with Sami music and a very nice girl of the staff. The activities are well organized. I did snowshoeing in the park with the same nice girl and reindeer sledding by night (no aurora unluckily). The staff is kind and helpful. Wi-Fi works very well also in rooms.
