Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Probably the best beach resort in Finland. An impressive tourist business with hotels, restaurants, outlets and activity parks has grown next to the wonderful sandy beach. Has anything a beach person could ask for.

    Maakalla, Kalajoki is really worth visiting - and we were really lucky with lovely September weather - no mosquitoes or bugs, and still the sun was shining and warm and the nights quite long.

    There are some lovely walks - including the ones along the boardwalks stretching over the beautiful long beaches, but also a fantastic nature trail that ends up at a barbeque place (kota in Finnish) with firewood supplied (bring your own matches) and easy access toilets (bring toilet paper)

    The park itself was actually pretty ok, some additional sun cover would have been useful during a very hot day. However, the opening and the entry to the park was poorly organized. It took 50minutes to the get and reason was technical (manual scanning of tickets, too little staff, not organized queuing etc.). True disaster came when I took some time and wrote the details of experience to the park. They were clearly ignored which is actually pretty sad. I happy to talk with a manager who is somehow interested what is happening in their park.

    I visited this centre today and its a very nice space (on three levels, with a lift if needed) right on the beach.

    Its quite small but the exhibitions are very nice, with clear labels (also in English)
    A nice touch was the small exhibiti encougaging you (and me!) to make a difference Inkeroinen the Baltic clean!

    There is a small gift shop (needs more postcards of wildlife!) and good toilets.
    What stuck me most were the lovely hands on exhibits for kids including a sort of submaribe to 'see' under the sea.

    Nice place play with different ages of kids. There were supervisors, as appropriate, more than in other similar playgrounds.

    There was both physical activity and sports game consoles on offer. Outside BMX & scoot park was just fine even though it should have been a little bigger.

    It was a fun experience for a couple that likes to feel the rush of adrenaline every now and then. Only disappointment was that the long zip line wasn’t included in the activity park ticket.

    We made a sea cruise on Galeas Ansio to the isle of Maakalla from Rahja's harbour. It took 1:45 to cruise to Maakalla and then we had an hour time to look around the small island and its harbour and village. Cruise back took about an hour. It was a great opportunity to get aquainted to the rugged beauty of the coastline. Around 35 guests participated. Fish soup and coffee was served and included to the fare. Local fishermen sold freshly smoked whitefish on Maakalla.
