Sleep Under the Northern Forest — Indoors

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind indoor camping hostel in Rovaniemi, where Nordic nature meets cozy comfort.
Here, you don’t just stay overnight — you camp inside a forest-inspired space, sheltered, warm, and magical all year round.

Our guests sleep in stylish indoor tents, carefully designed to recreate the feeling of camping in the Arctic woods — without the cold, rain, or mosquitoes. Surrounded by Nordic forest décor, soft lighting, natural wood, and calm earthy tones, you’ll feel as if you’re resting beneath pine trees after a long day of Arctic adventures.

Located in Rovaniemi city and just 20 minutes walking distance to the downtown, the gateway to Lapland, our hostel is the perfect base for Northern Lights tours, winter safaris, summer hikes, and Santa Claus experiences. After a day outside, come back to a space that feels peaceful, warm, and uniquely Nordic.

This is the ideal stay for:

Adventurous travelers who love nature
Backpackers looking for something unforgettable
Couples seeking a cozy and creative atmosphere
Digital nomads and explorers tired of “ordinary hostels”

Experience the spirit of camping — reimagined indoors.
Sleep close to nature, stay warm, and wake up in the heart of the Arctic forest.

The place is a disaster. The door is always open, so no security for you or your stuff. I arrived at 9 pm, and there was nobody who could tell me which bed was mine; other guests had to show me around. My sheets smelled like humidity. The beds of previous guests were left dirty and undone for 2 or 3 days. The fridge had a disgusting smell since it had spoiled leftover food that had expired 2 weeks before. For 60 euros a day, I think it was pretty mediocre. I wouldn't recommend it.

I usually leave nice reviews, but this was a nightmare. Communication is almost zero. Disgusting. It is totally isolated, so you'll lose a lot of money on taxis to go anywhere. I left the next morning. 100% stress. Ignored all my calls while I froze outside, yet demanded full payment via WhatsApp despite my HW deposit. I paid for a towel, waited 8 hours, and never got it. Had to dry myself with a used shirt. The 'cozy' huts are dark and in an abandoned-feeling building with stinky toilets. Avoid
