The hotel Majatalo was tucked away off the main road but was cosy and friendly. The hotel was decorated for x-mas and the gift shop was very reasonable - as there's no other shops in the area. The food was varied and on a self serve basis, much needed warm food after a day with outside activities. The search for... More

Just returned from the 3 night Holly and Ivy trip with 2 kids aged 3 and 9. The hotel is a little like a ski chalet, it does look like Crossroads Motel from the outside but the inside is quite traditional and was decorated for Christmas with lots of local decorations. The rooms are split level with 2 beds upstairs... More

We have just come back from our magical Christmas Break, staying here at the Majatalo and i have to say that we had an excellent time. Our son who is 8 absolutely loved the whole experience, especially the Search for Santa day which on the whole, took about 6hrs including travelling time. The hotel looks absolutly lovely covered in snow... More

Before you book your trip to Lapland with transun read this carefully. We have just returned after a 3 night break and overall had a fantastic time. The place is stunning in winter time, the experiences were unforgettable and we would def return in a few years when our youngest is older. The hotel is basic but traditional. Things that... More

The hotel was lovely, typically Lappish and really cosy and homely. The people were... More

This is not a sit back by the pool kind of holiday, if you let your hair down, get involved, go with an open mind and become a child for a few days you will love this. We have just returned. Hotel is... More

We have just returned from a 2 night, 3 day visit to the Majatalo (14 - 16 Dec) - booked through Transun. We had a fantastic time! The strategic airlines plane had clearly seen better days, but we had smooth flights and the cabin crew were great (organising Christmas songs over the speakers for the kids on flight out). Departure... More

Hettas best hotel!!! Transun reps Laura and Natalie were excellent and made the holiday and Tiina and her family were very welcoming into the gorgeous family run hotel.
