THE JOKIMAJA

THE ACCOMMODATION

Our JOKIMAJA "Cottage by the River" is a charming farm in classic Scandinavian style, offering plenty of space for coziness to experience and love the Lapland atmosphere. Our small boutique hotel, where you'll enjoy your breakfast every morning, invites you to relax, unwind, and indulge in our freshly baked treats in the afternoon and evening.

Our unique place features 8 cozy rooms, including 6 double rooms and 2 single rooms. Inspired by the region and the number of rooms, we decided not only to name the rooms after the seasons of the Sami people (the indigenous population of Lapland) but also to give each minimally decorated guest room its own personal touch by artist Ekaterina Niattieva. This allows you to immerse yourself in the cabin feeling of Jokimaja, whether in the "Polar Night" or the "Ruska Room".

Fortunately, not everything reminds you of old cabin times. After all, you don't need to trudge through the snow and cold to reach our 2 newly renovated cozy bathrooms and toilets - just a few steps down the warm corridor from your room. Our goal is to offer our guests a unique and authentic stay.

Ensuring your comfort is a top priority for us - whether you're enjoying it together or cozily alone, your time matters. In our accommodation, you have the opportunity to enjoy the snowy landscape and, with a bit of luck, the Northern Lights from inside or outside.

We invite you to immerse yourself in the world of Jokimaja. We look forward to welcoming you.

THE HOSTESS

My passion is to introduce my guests to the unique and magical winter landscape of Lapland. Allow me to give you a glimpse into my world and the passion that drives me:

I have been captivated by the beauty of winter since 2014. My sense of interior design and creativity help me create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for my guests. Helping people and being there for them is a gift that comes naturally to me. Inspired by guests, helpers, and my love for baking and cooking, I craft new menus and treats daily. On my journeys from Switzerland to the far north, I am always accompanied by my two four-legged companions, Ivy and Barney.

My love for travelling and being on the move transformed into hosting people from all over the world at my boutique hotel. It brings me immense joy to provide guests with a cosy place to stay and support them as they explore and discover their new destination. My goal at Jokimaja is to offer you a peaceful retreat where you can relax, feel at home, and enjoy delicious food.

 

THE LOCATION

Our boutique hotel is located in the far north, 170 km north of the Arctic Circle, near the Levi ski resort in Finnish Lapland.

Our location offers you the opportunity to experience solitude and Northern Lights away from the tourist buzz and the hustle of everyday life. Our boutique hotel is located in traditional Lappish village Köngäs near a local reindeer farm Ounaskievari and a magic Elves Village Tonttula.

 








THE STORY OF JOKIMAJA

It all began in the winter of 2014, during a journey of my son and his girlfriend through Scandinavia. By the summer of 2015, we had created Jokimaja, fulfilling our dream of owning a B&B and café in just three months.

During a short trip to Finnish Lapland in September 2015, we found this beautiful farm (an old ferry house) thanks to a fortunate coincidence. Only 2 months later, in November 2015, our Jokimaja team - consisting of Cosima, Malte, and myself - set off for Finnish Lapland with two cars and a trailer.

After covering 3500 km, we arrived at our farm. There was much work to be done, including renovations and reconstructions. Once our cosy little boutique café was ready, we welcomed our guests to the newly established "Jokimaja" in December 2015.

We had a wonderful and successful first season, so the decision for a second season was made relatively quickly.

In 2018, I was given the unique opportunity to purchase this wonderful place of peace and relaxation. Unfortunately, water damage brought the entire operation to a halt. However, as everyone knows, hope dies last, so the story continues.

With pride and joy, I am pleased to announce that after 4 years of complete hibernation, at least for the building, we are back in business for the 2024/25 season with our boutique hotel.

Much work has been done behind the scenes over the years, with many tears and much sweat shed, and it continues to flow. But as you know yourself, when something wonderful and unique is to be created, it requires a lot of commitment, love, perseverance, investment, and support. We have succeeded and our farm has been given a new face, a beautiful newly built wooden house in Lapland style has enriched our special place.

Our nearly 25-year-old main house, called "Karhu" the Bear, was partially renovated in the spring/summer of 2023 with precise planning and proudly presents itself with a cozy atmosphere and cabin feel as Jokimaja 2.0.

My thanks go to all the many creative minds and hands, helpers, and dwarfs from all over the world who have been involved in making this wonderful place accessible again with knowledge and much effort.

I look forward to welcoming you one day with a heartfelt "Tervetuloa" to our place.

Kerstin and her lovely team were so welcoming from the moment we arrived with their homemade food and warm atmosphere. Our cozy room was so comfortable and we had the best nights sleep in a long time. The attention to detail in the decor oft he B&B was just beautiful and looked like a page from a stay book. Thank you for the beautiful stay, we will never forget!"
    January 2017, Great Britain

  • "We spent our last days of 2016 and the first day of 2017 and there was never a better choice in my life. Beautiful snowing view, delicious food, splendid aurora and the joy we had with the whole family. I always thought that drinking champagne, watching aurora and fireworks to celebrate New Year only happens in day dreams. However it happened and it became the best and unforgettable moment. I will keep this memory forever."
    1.1.2017, Asia

  • "A very warm welcome from Cosima and Kerstin who made special efforts to include me in conversations and the social scene at Jokimaja. A good range of outdoor activities nearby, amazing food and a good range of rooms and facilities available. It was a very friendly place to stay, there was a relaxed atmosphere, good company with guests and the Jokimaja team. I am already looking forward to my next stay!"

They cook for you orignal and delicious receipes with so much love that' s impossible that you don't like it. All the rooms are really cosy and clean.

  • "Okay, first of all the decorations are fabulous. It's got every bit of cabin feel and warmth you would expect. They did such a marvelous job with this place. It's also great to be next to their cafe, because the nights were long, so caffeine was a big help! Cosima went the extra mile to try and make sure your stay in Lapland was as fun and unique as possible. They have many activities available so you don't always have to wake up and go to Levi to try and find fun.
    There's plenty at the bnb to be had! The wood fired sauna was great, too. It's just a few doors and you can take a snow bath before retreating into the hot Sauna. They also have an electric one in the bnb, so technically you don't have to go outside if you don't want to. (But you should!) I can't wait until I am back up there, it's a great area and a cozy bed at night. They also make very, very good meals there. breakfast and dinner were always delicious. Definitely was a fun place to spend a few days if you can!"

  • "This place is great! They are very welcoming as hosts. Cosima is great and very timely with communication. The house is very crazy and feels like home and the breakfast was absolutely delicious, tasty coffee too. We enjoyed our stay here so much that we rearranged our trip so we could stay a couple more nights. Highly highly recommended. Five stars on everything."

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Jokimaja Oy.

6. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

7. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

8. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

9. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

10. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
