Die HĂŒtten sind schon Ă€lter und sehr rustikal, sogar mit Kamin und bereitliegendem Holz. Die Betten sind groß aber die Matratzen viel zu dĂŒnn. Habe kaum geschlafen. Die kleinen Hocker passen zwar optisch zum Stil, zum lĂ€ngeren Sitzen sind sie nicht geeignet. Die SanitĂ€ranlagen sind renovierungsbedĂŒrftig. Netzes Restaurant mit gutem Essen. NĂ€chste 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 sÚche 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.

SkĂžn hytte stemning

Vi ankom om aftenen og havde set frem til at bo i hytten - men de havde ikke flere hytter og tilbÞd os hotelvÊrelse, hvilket slet ikke var det ophold vi Þnskede. Vi endte med at fÄ en mindre hytte en bestilt - hytterne er FANTASTISKE, sÄ hyggelige. Madrasserne trÊnger til udskiftning - men stemningen kan man ikke kÞbe sig til.

Komfortabelt opphold til en grei pris

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

Top pour les chercheurs d'or

Le lieu est sympas avec les rennes qui se prommenent en liberté et la deco "trapeur" c'est rustique. La propreté n'est pas au top.

Da provare!

Eravamo gli unici due clienti di quella notte, quando siamo arrivati sono stati gentilissimi. Abbiamo fatto una sauna privata al costo solo di 20€. Abbiamo cenato al ristorante e Kaja la signorina tuttofare del resort ù stata fantastica. Finito il suo turno e tornata indietro ad avvisarci che era uscita l’aurora boreale. Consiglio a tutti di soggiornare qui, un posto sperduto della Lapponia che nonostante il freddo ti fa sentire al caldo.

Palvelu loisti, mökin varustelu ei

Tilaa oli hyvin, parven portaat lapsille todella jyrkÀt. Varustelu oli vajaa. 4-5 hengelle tarkoitetussa mökissÀ ei ollut veitsiÀ, vain kaksi pikkulusikkaa ja haarukoita. Mikro olisi todella suuri apu. Osa laseista likaisia, vaikka pestyinÀ vessassa. Muuten kaikki siistiÀ. Palvelu oli iloista, kohteliasta ja auttavaista!
