4 person cabin was warm, clean and very cozy ❤️ Customer service was very friendly! The shared showers were not very inviting, which was the only minus at the place, but the sauna facilities were very nice and löylyt were perfect! Warmly recommend renting the wood burning sauna after walking at the paths in the National park, UKK🥰

The staff here was very nice but the property could use an update. The superior room lacked amenities that our standard rooms had like an in room fridge and sauna. While the room was clean and fine, and the property might appeal to children, the facilities could use a real upgrade to match the other standard hotels we’ve stayed at in Finland.

Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja palvelu erinomaista. Mökki oli hyvä, käytettävissä oleva huoltorakennus oli kamala. Vessakopit olivat todella pieniä, mahtui huonosti jos laittoi oven kiinni. Suihkutilat olivat homeessa miesten puolelta ja vessat molemmilta puolilta ja osittain rikki. Hana vuoti ja valot syttyivät tuskaisen hitaasti.

Mökki oli kohtuukuntoinen, hinnassa ihan reipasta lapinlisää. Yleinen keittiö kiva ja siistissä kunnossa, mutta suihku/wc-tilat aivan kammottavat. Naisten suihkutilassa ei ollut edes valoa..

Odadaki ısıtıcı çalışmıyor desek yeriydi, hava -30 dereceydi ve çok üşüdük. Şömine gibi bir şey vardı ancak yakmaya çalıştığımızda da yangın alarmı ötmeye başladı ve kimse gelmedi bile. Sonrasında alarmı kapattık, o gece başka bir otel baktık ve 1 gece konaklamamız daha olmasına rağmen sabaha karşı tesisten ayrıldık.

Die Hütten sind schon älter und sehr rustikal, sogar mit Kamin und bereitliegendem Holz. Die Betten sind groß aber die Matratzen viel zu dünn. Habe kaum geschlafen. Die kleinen Hocker passen zwar optisch zum Stil, zum längeren Sitzen sind sie nicht geeignet. Die Sanitäranlagen sind renovierungsbedürftig. Netzes Restaurant mit gutem Essen. Nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit 7 km entfernt.

Pas mal

Un endroit qui rappelle les villages de chercheurs d'or. Des jolis petits chalets, salle de bain commune avec toilettes proches des logis. Par contre on a l'impression de dormir sur des planches de bois. J'avais demandé par mail avant le départ si il y avait un sèche cheveux, on m'a répondu à l'accueil. Hors il n'y en avait pas.... Louer le kota pour 1h coute 20 euros et 8 euros pour le bois. Cher !!!!! Mais à faire Nous avons été choqué par l'organsime qui était sur place avec des traineaux à chiens. Nous n'avons pas participé à cela mais la dame a attrapé 2 chiens par le cou et trainés jusqu'à les mettre dans de minuscules box pour les enfermer. Les pauvres chiens ne touchaient quasiment plus le sol. Je trouve ça scandaleux. Je dénonce cet acte lamentable.

Skøn hytte stemning

Vi ankom om aftenen og havde set frem til at bo i hytten - men de havde ikke flere hytter og tilbød os hotelværelse, hvilket slet ikke var det ophold vi ønskede. Vi endte med at få en mindre hytte en bestilt - hytterne er FANTASTISKE, så hyggelige. Madrasserne trænger til udskiftning - men stemningen kan man ikke købe sig til.

Komfortabelt opphold til en grei pris

Komfortabelt og rimelig opphold, godt det finnes slike alternativ til de nyere og dermed overprisede øvrige overnattingsalternativene i finsk Lapland. Det at det var peis i hytta var et pluss!
