Top Star Saariselkä - Arctic Glass Cubes

This wqs a room with a view indeed! Well equiped cabin.

Could not control the AC, which caused a suffocating atmosphere. 27C outside. Inside 32C. Why is the reception placed at a location that was difficult to find several jm away from rhe cabin. The doorcode could have been sent by email!

As I put the overall 5 stars, it's CUTE COOL, ONE OF A KIND, CLEAN, SPECTACULAR WINTER WONDERLAND VIEW Love it & Thank you

Overcast cold think clouds just waste of my splurge of this glass doom room for Northern Light viewing which was none, needless to say 😁, BUT, TB Fair, it's none of Top Star Saariselka 's bargain with me😁; it's the nature in disagreement with my desire, haha The surroundings, a spectacular snow view, on the other hand, kinda hard to park on the jarred snow ice around, & the ground is pretty slippery. Probably it's not easy to maintain in the mountain/hilly area. A few times, I slipped, but managed not to fall down. All in all, it's a great place. Response quick concise👍👍👍

Great location! We could see the Northern Lights from the comfort of our room through the glass windows and ceiling on our first night. It's also beside Europe's longest sledding hill and sleds are provided free in the apartment. Very well equipped apartment with kitchen so we could cook all our meals. There is also a dishwasher. The drying cabinet was really useful for our damp clothes. There is even a sauna beside the bathroom. The only thing that can be improved is the WiFi as it was a bit slow.

Room was more comfortable than we expected. Beds were electronically folding, the amount of heaters are very sufficient (I usually find other hotels to be more cold). Utensile in the kitchen has very wide of variety. The small details are awesome, for example floor squeegee in bathroom, Plastic sledge for children). Room has its own sauna and very comfortable to use.

The location. It was quiet and the room is well equipped. Had everything we needed.

Service could be better

The location is amazing

The bed was awesome because of the controls. The sauna was amazing, and we were near the top of the mountain on the corner. I liked how you could see everything, even from the sauna, there was a window.

All the other warmers we had were able to hold a lot. These shelves were really sensitive. They didn't hold much when drying things.

great views, location close to the peak and the skiing areas

for this price category it would be great to see a) the lock at the door to properly work b) sauna does not go beyond 70 degrees

We absolutely loved these cabins! They are modern, beautifully designed, and feel brand new. The location couldn’t be better—right next to the ski slopes. The glass roof was a stunning feature, and the sauna was a fantastic addition. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making it the perfect stay for two guests.

The only downside was the shower—it’s designed in a way that causes the entire bathroom to flood every time you use it. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it can be a bit inconvenient. I’d also recommend carefully checking which cabin you book, as not all have the best views. We booked two cabins, allowing one couple to enjoy a beautiful view while the other ended up with a view of the back of another cabin.

Location was awesome on mountains....you can see Saariselka Town from your room down the hill.. Unfortunately we didn't saw Northern lights due to cloudy & snowy whether....but overall experience was too good with all room amenities. Prices are little higher...may be due to peak season in Mid February... Overall experience was 8 out of 10..

Comfortable beds which were adjustable, clean and modern apartment with everything you could need. Great views.

Couldn’t fault the property just a shame it rained during our stay which meant we were unable to see the aurora from the cabin.

All of it:-)

No thing

Location is perfect, we took a taxi from the bus station for 16€. There's a ski center just nearby, which you can take the lift for free (you have to pay for the way back).

The staff communication was near zero. We could not enter the house for 20 minutes, we had to ask other guests staying nearby for help. They also replied late for our questions. Um

Great Location

They advertise coffee machine etc but do not state that it’s basically a self contained cabin, I reached out because there was only a used jar of instant coffee and was told I had to buy my own for the machine. Electric beds so you can raise up to see through the glass windows/roof but one didn’t work, they promised to send someone to look at it but no one came. Instructions for entry was the below vague text which I thought was spam and almost deleted : “Topstar 7 Keyboxcode **** Welcome!” Worst of all on the day of checkout - 1 hour before checkout there were people arriving at the door for their stay, with access to the code and key box unlocking & opening our door. The accomodation has the key permanently in the key box with an extending cord to reach the door to unlock it so there is no way to bring the key in. Messaged the accommodation immediately and they did not rectify or apologise Lacking communication, I messaged through booking several days before arriving to request information on breakfast, airport transfers and activities as their booking states to do so but they never responded to me

There’s plenty similar apartments or hotels around. So there’s nothing unusual. However it is near a nice souvenir shop and cafe and ski resort.

1) communication was difficult due to poor English? 2) door lock was not working and it’s not fixed. Luckily nothing happened. 3) no customer service support. Location is difficult to reach and taxis are choosy. Hotel could actually help to tie up with taxis company to ease transport. Anyway it’s just a suggestion.

Beautiful views and lovely accommodation very clean very nice interior, kitchen fully equipped

Nothing

Best resort for location and price

-

I like everything about the property! The location was ideal to spot the northern lights. The glass ceiling was very clear and we get to see the northern lights a few times in the comfort of the room! The Sauna room was great addition to make a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped.

Nothing.

The locations and privacy were amazing. The units are a one minute walk from the highest spot in Saariselkä so you get amazing views and the best opportunity to see the northern lights. The layout was so cozy and the sauna was amazing. So clean too! And watching the aurora from a cozy bed was a once in a lifetime experience!!

Nothing at all. The property was perfect.

Superb. good location, good interior with facilities. worth staying

nothing to complain about.

Location

There are 8 cubes and only cubes 1 & 2 have unobstructed views from the windows. The rest are positioned in a way that you only get a partial view and mostly see the back of the building in front. From the Sauna window you only see a black ventilation pipe and a piece of the sky. Ours was number 4 and I would not pay full price summer or ski season. A dissapointment and with full trash cans and a dirty couch. Cant reccommend and wont be coming back.

Supberb location with amazing views. Reindeer just wandering around. The Glass Cube is fabulous, light and airy but as it was summer we had the ceiling blinds drawn. Sauna was fantastic.

The view was excellent, it was very clean, the towels were fresh, instructions were very clear. And it was very quiet too.

Only a few channel options. The shower was too tight and the washing sink too small. No place for the toiletries.

Everythink:), good loction but, better to drive down , and strart from botom:) or just follow the time and ski till home:) and we forgot shoes so cleaner chat to us and we got it:) nice that have a kitchen because I was not happy with food in 3 places:/ 75 eur 3 course and soso:/ so 1 time i make myself shop is close9

Can adjust sauna Doors maybe it for safety:) i dont know but when we go out steam also go out, was good i see some open Airline , propably it should be like that:)

The location was good but you would want a car. The room was very small but well designed and the bed was extremely comfortable.

We had a view of the back of another unit. It was not the view that we expected and given the price for the size of the property (it is tiny) we had expected a view. Photos attached to show views from side and main window. I think we were unlucky as there were only a few properties that had this really bad outlook. We had to contact the property to get directions as these had not been provided. We were told we would not get these until the day of our arrival. It was as though they were a big secret. This meant that we only got them at the very last minute and in fact, after our checkin time and after chasing again by WhatsApp and we therefore needed data or Wi-Fi to pick them up. And the WhatsApp exchange was frankly rude and not at all welcoming. We had a problem with the electricity as it went off and the owner was very unfriendly and practically cut me off when I called. We did not really see any staff other than for this problem so cannot comment. Another guest accidentally shut themselves out of their room in the freezing temperatures and knocked on our door. I called the owner and again was met with rudeness. The fittings in the unit were cheap. The TV was about the cheapest brand you could get and we were unable to watch anything because you needed to download a specific app. The picture looked such poor quality. It wasn’t really worth watching anyway.

The location and the property itself

The location is perfect to see the Northern Lights. We saw it twice right from our cabin. The location was also very near the ski lifts and tobogganing slopes. We also appreciated the fully-equipped kitchen and clothes dryer that could warm your clothes on a very cold day! The heated glass roofs also ensured we always had a clear view of the sky. We walked down town (about 25 minutes slow walk) to get groceries to cook, though the uphill could be a challenge. The personal sauna was a bonus. We booked the taxi airport transfer through the property and the lady was great. She helped us with our luggage and opened the doors for us, which was very helpful since it was a self check-in property and it's not always easy figuring things out in the cold!

Prior to the trip, communication with the host was slow. Had to do a few follow ups before I could get a confirmation of our airport transfers. But once there, communication was great. They responded quickly to questions and issues faced and everything was perfect.

It had a beautiful view, halfway up the mountain and ski slopes. It was equipped with everything for a nice night in cooking. Spotless and comfortable.

Everything

Appart from the key box that freezes sometimes with the cold temperatures

The hotel is new( 3 years I was told) and the cube has a god size, and has everything you need. It is located in a very beautiful snd quiet place and even though it is not far from the center of Saariselkä.

Breakfast delivered is not my preference, but it was a good breakfast with fruits, smoked salmon, bread, butter, everything you need for a good meal .

Location is great. Near centre of Saariselka. View is good. Easy to find. Everything you need is in the appartment. Parking next to the front door.

Appartment is bit small and beds were not great (but that is personal preference). Check in was not good. Did not recieve an email en even after phoning a couple of times (and he assured me he would email the entrance code) we still did not recieve the keycode. We had to wait in the local bar untill booking.com finally received a keycode for us several hours later.

Very cozy and comfortable room. Close walking distance to the ski chairlift/slopes & restaurant where you can also take the ski bus there to town area during winter season

The property itself do not have an issue, just that the description of the room on booking.com could be clearer where I got the room not what I want, but overall is good and recommended

Love it so much

N/A

None

Was not able to shower after one person has used the shower, called management and they explained that hot water has been used up so needed to wait for one hour for the water to come back (in the middle of my shower). Half of the view in apartment 4 was blocked by the apartment in front so ideally should only pay for half the price of the accommodation. With the issue with the hot water, it is not worth nearly 500 euros on one night. Very very disappointing

The location is beautiful & the view from the room is amazing. The cabin has everything you'd need.

There is not reception and the person answering the call is extremely rude and unhelpful and so is the cleaner lady. They got angry because we asked them for help as we couldn't figure out how to operate the heater.

Everything pretty much

No reception, need to call someone to check in

The BEST accommodation I have ever stayed at. It’s perfect, I would love to live here!!!!

I wished we had stayed longer.

Very beautiful hotel in a great location. Very modern and clean, very good sauna. if not cloudy, possible to see the northern lights from the room. easy self check in.

Nothing.

Very cosy, clean, super compfy bed and great bathroom. Kitches well equipted and a super stunning view .. you can just sit in bed all day long and enjoy the panorama view. Amazing.

This is just a perfect accomodation. Located on a hill with stunning view und big windows. Sauna of course.

Some light pollution from the village below.

The place is pretty and comfortable. Check in is super easy and hassle free.

Location has very awesome view, Clean, Quiet, Very big, Cozy room (room has everything and Sauna), The ceiling and windown glass is very clean and transparent, Room also has good view, CP value is excellent. We like this room very much even though we didn't stay during Aurora season, but we still felt perfect to stay with it.

None

The Location was perfect , within 10 mins in taxi you can reach all destinations. The view was Amazing. In our 3 days stay we saw northern lights for 2 days which fulfilled our trip.

The location, the view, cosiness, facilities, comfortable beds, walking distance to the slopes, the glass cubes are equipped with full kitchen, everything was perfect 👌

Absolutely nothing.

Highly recommend ,the view so amazing .

The apartment is wonderfully equipped, the private sauna is awesome!

Location of the unit is on hill top with unblocked view to the valley Very clean Within the complex for activity,sky lift,slide

I hope there is option for double-bed instead of 2 single beds put together

everything perfect,we received the gift of Christmas from the host. Thank you very much!

it will be better if we can know where our cabin is. Because of the darkness,it’s a little difficult to find the position of our cabin.

everything. it is cozy, clean and and well located. you will wake up with the most amazing valley view

nothing

Nice cozy cube with sauna. The bed is comfortable and the view is beautiful, and charging points available for electric car

Nope

Well located, very nicely furnished with thoughtful touches, high tech little flat.

The staff were difficult to communicate. Despite us emailing many times well in advance, then calling, messaging and emailing for the last 2-3 days we only got through them the final hours- and they seemed to be mad at us for trying to reach them. They did reply the final hours and told us how to get there from the airport, tour companies, etc. It was a nice stay because of the property itself, but the staff need to be more responsive.

The view from the cabin was really nice and the scenery was great. It was a short walk to the observation tower. We were able to see the horizon when we arrived. It was also very close to the top of the cable car where we can use the sleds/ski to slide down for free!

The room was a little cramped.

we visited the property this time last year and couldn’t wait to stay again this year! We’ve stayed in numerous places across Saariselkä and Top Star is our favourite! Very well equipped, great views, easy check in - 10/10!

nothing not to like

The place was cosy and beautiful, not far from bars and restaurants, and it was surrounded by beautiful landscapes.

We stayed at the property to be able to enjoy the Northern Lights and were staring at the glass ceiling a lot of the time but the condensation and snow was unfortunately making it hard for us to see properly through the glass. Luckily the glass heaters were making things a bit easier!

very cozy, and everything you need in one place. like an AirBnB. amazing for the price.

the shower is not the easiest to handle, but it works!

Excellent accomodation, with excellent scenes, excellent location and comfortable bed.

Great place, extremely nice view (right above Saariselkä) and possibility to observe everything literally from the bed :) Few hundreds of meters from the hill top of Kaunispää. The room was nice and clean, sauna included. Large panoramatic windows incl. heating to meltdown any snow/ice which would obstruct the view.

fantastic cabins, cozy, great view, lovely sauna

delivered food, tricky to check in

Great cabin with excellent view from the mountain side

Amazing glass cabin. Great view.

Have to cook. No reception. Ask for key and room beforehand. Will be in a locker on a box.

The view and the unit's functionality. We'll equipped with all the comfort of home.

Lack of restaurants and eateries nearby. Roads were slippery and vehicles cannot climb the steep slope. Had to call rescue.
